Hi,

Could anyone indicate software that converts offline text (txt, pdf, etc) to OCR, free to Windows?

I found options for online or mobile platform use.

Any compatible with Gimp?

Thank you.

I open the picture and Add An Alpha Layer.

Then I outlined the image using the foreground selection tool. When I Add Layer Mask etc., everything disappears, not just the background. The model AND the background. All I get is a checkerboard displayed.

This happens regardless of which selection tool I'm using. I'm obviously doing something/not doing something to cause that. I've followed a couple of online descriptions of how to do this and just can't make only the background disappear.

How do I keep the model visible and have the background disappear?

Using Gimp 2.10.14

Odd, my post didn't post? 

Anyway, trying to create my own Superhero emblems for my Daz characters, got limited success using iRay decals and the LIE editor...I'm looking to do something like this:

He uses Photoshop, I use Gimp...and he kinda glosses over the multiple layers he uses for the Superman emblem, how would I do this in Gimp (keeping in mind I'm a noob who doesn't know what he's doing)?

Many thanks!

Hi there,

Please recommend a script for exporting/importing paths.
I need to insert the same path in hundreds of different images before their editing.

hi all, im so far only experienced with the basics of gfx editing in general

im trying to make the attached example image you see more readable, i was just wondering if anyone has any ideas as to what effects they would apply in order to make that more readable  ---  so for example, is there a way to reduce empty space between the dots of the letters? (would that be the right approach to the problem?)   or, instead should the goal be to make the letters darker?  or thicker?

(im new to gimp so if you have some recommended effects to try for this issue please let me know)

thanks for any tips 

   

How do I get a similar stippling effect that is on the lighter parts of the blue & white gradient of these trees? I have a different tree that’s colored solid white aside from its brown trunk so it didn’t stand out of the background I wanted to put it on. So this is the sort of effect I want. I fuzzy selected the top of my white tree, picked 2 color swatches, then stretched the gradient tool in a vertical line. So the coloring’s good to go but I just I don’t know how to get a texture effect that’s concentrated at the top and evenly transitions down like this.. How would you go about it?
Attached file + here is link to the same picture. You have to zoom in to really see it because it's subtle.

To manipulate part of a photo with multiple masks : https://github.com/edoardogiacomello/gimp-mask

- load a photo
- make a selection
- start the plugin (filters / Light and Shadow / Mask)
- set Number of steps, Desaturation Mode and Apply mask to
- wait for the build of masks
- click on the layers (a white frame appears arround the layer you clicked on) to use curves, levels, hue saturation, etc... (not on the masks !)

I went to darken the foreground color and see it is bathed over in pink paint...very weird. Anyone know how this happened/how to get rid of it? It doesn't seem to affect the functionality of changing the color, just makes looking at the previewed options messed up.

I have 100 png images file where they are the sprite image. shown below here. (My application would require these 100 images to do the image processing, cannot use gif 
What is the fastest method to replace these colors ? 
I do not want to open these files 100 times and just replace the "blue and grey" with "green " black", etc etc.
I have to do these a multiple times as well, for color verification with other members. That would be i have to process this couple hundred times.
Hope someone can shed some light. etc).
