Hello,

I am trying to wrap an image around half a barrel. Is this possible with Gimp 2.10.12 and how do I do it? Ive been searching for hours and think I'm asking for the wrong thing?

Thanks

Try to outline an image that contains gaps. Even if I block off the gaps on the very outside by painting over where it meets the outside, it still leaks into the image. Any way to fix this?

Hi. Once in a while I dabble in game modifications, which invariably means texture or sprite editing, usually with very specific tools for very specific file and/or compression types. For the most part I can work out the kinks in files, which can have a single image split into pieces or various images placed inside the same file, but sometimes I come across image formatting which that makes edition tricky.

Recently I came across a game I would like to modify but its image structure - at least when viewed from programs normally used for editing this kind of thing - limits functionality. Pictured below is the image data, partially seen from two different programs:


(Seen through a program called Tile Molester)



(Seen through a program called Texture Finder v2.1)


The image, at least according to the first program, uses 2 Dimensional tiling @ 16bpp RGB modes (it can also be seen at 15bpp). The first program allows editing while the second one doesn't. It is possible with the first one to export as, say, *.png and edit the image through other means, but importing doesn't always work as it can corrupt alpha channels and palettes. And directly editing an image, or series of images like this through the program is a chore.

Further, this one lacks any kind of header, making it harder for some programs to recognize it.

I'd like to know if there is any kind of GIMP extension that would open raw data from a file which definitely contains one or several images inside it, while at the same time preserving the integrity of its palettes and alpha channels.

Thanks in advance

PS: I'm including a link to the file (the forums won't let me attach it) if anyone wants to look into its structure, since the game has multiple files/images like this:

EDIT:
If you download the file above, you can run it through this site and see it in full, along with getting an idea of how it's structured.

Light absorption test - Is it possible using Gimp?

I have just received 150 ml of Black 3.0 
... the blackest of all blacks outside of nano-tubes.

The idea is to use it for flocking a telescope, as a one stop solution.

A black paint is anyway required for blacking the lens edges
... but it might replace the need to line the scope with black material.
... also, it can cover the places where material flocking is not possible, such as inside the focus tube.
... and it can be applied to cloth.

The concept is, that stray light cannot bounce down the inside of the scope tube.
Flocking is required; so why not Black 3.0 (3.2 revision)?

YouTube Tests

The YT tests were mostly very poor.
Typically, the testers hadn't even read the instructions.
Most were artists (I guess we can forgive them), but even a photographer for business, with a highly organised setup ... no ... didn't read the instructions 
... which were: 

• Use an undercoat 
  
• mix with water 
  
• apply multiple thin coats 
  

I was going along creating layers for each pasted dot, and then one of them pasted weird where the layer has this green hue to it. When I moved the pasted image from the original, it looked the way it should but the original was left looking faded. Why did this happen?? Just wondering what I did wrong

1st image draws attention to the layer thumbnail weirdness. 2nd one shows how the difference between how the color should look vs. the original having become washed out

I'm trying to make an outline around a selection but the outline color isn't turning out right. It's a white dot that I want a blue outline around. I have it selected then go to edit>stroke selection yet the outline color turns into a cross between white and the blue color I want. How do I get the outline to show up as the blue I chose? 

Also, not necessary but would be convenient, is there any way to get the outline to come up beyond the selection, basically making it bigger, instead of stroking it within it?

Can someone help me restore color to my photo. I made edits to it and want the post edit color restored. Gimp will not simply let me undo.

Hello

I am new to gimp. I'm trying to use colour exchange and nothing is happening. I use the colour selector within colour exchange to select 'from' and 'to' colours (as in: https://infofreund.de/gimp-replace-color/). Absolutely nothing happens. Why is this?

I want to add length to a picture without stretching it, so I want to copy a sliver of it and add it onto the end. I figured out how to increase the width of the canvas size, but when I drag my selection to cover the now empty sliver of the canvas, it starts disappearing as it slips onto the checkered portion ("alpha channel"). How do I make it where it will show up on the checkerboard part so I can position it correctly and then fuse it (which I don't know how to do either so might as well ask too)

Hi, I’m running into an issue while using 2.10.14 where every time I color an image it displayed as gray. I can select yellow, blue etc. it still shows that layer in gray. Please help-Thank you!
