Hi everyone,

I am simply trying to make a picture of a molecular formula darker. When I use the brightness-contrast tool or the levels tool, the preview shows the desired result, but when I press okay it reverts to the original. What can I do to remedy this?

  How do I create a color to alpha background to make a png?
Posted by: Steve_Gesn - 03-24-2019, 11:22 PM - Forum: General questions - Replies (2)

I am trying to make a logo in which I need an alpha background so only my logo shows and nothing else. The attachment is an example of what I'm trying to do. When I made this in 2.8 I started with a blank page and simply clicked on Colors --> Color to alpha and it would do so. Then I just had to copy and paste a selection from a rectangle or eclipse for free select. and wham I got my PNG. Now it appears that is no longer possible. I've tried everything I know but I can't seem to get that invisible background. Any suggestions will be appreciated. 
Thanks.

  The characters in my image appear to float above the background
Posted by: Tinker Terry - 03-24-2019, 06:00 PM - Forum: Older Gimp versions (2.8, 2.6....) - Replies (1)

My characters appear to float above my background layer. I have tried using drop shadows but that doesn't seem to do the job of making the characters look more natural. Tried attaching the xcf file but always get error page.

Trying a new technique. Works essentially like my luminosity-tiler script, but instead of using layers filled with patterns, it uses layers filled with the same path rendered with increasing line widths.

  How do I make a Star Scape background?
Posted by: Steve_Gesn - 03-23-2019, 10:48 PM - Forum: General questions - Replies (3)

Gimp 2.10

I used to do this in 2.8 but I'm coming up with an error message now. 
Click file --> Create --> Render --> Star Scape. 
In 2.8 this procedure would create a starscape background and I could adjust the color, cloud number and more.
Now I get an error message. Please see attached photo.
Any suggestions will be appreciated. 
Thanks.

  indexing into 8-bit
Posted by: griddx - 03-22-2019, 01:45 PM - Forum: General questions - Replies (4)

When i try to index a 24-bit image with less than 16 colors (with the default indexing settings), gimp reduces the bit depth to 4-bit, but i need it to be 8-bit. Is there any way i can stop gimp from reducing the bit depth too much?

  Text Along Path - Cannot Move Text With Move Tool
Posted by: AceMcHammer - 03-21-2019, 01:05 AM - Forum: Older Gimp versions (2.8, 2.6....) - Replies (5)

So I went to this Youtube video to see how to create text along a path:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6nHyKrJwsaE

The trouble is that after making the text along the path, by some glitch or misstep, sometime the text is not centered in the middle of the path. When it does this I figure I could just move the text and reorient the text to fix the placement issue. I cannot figure out how to move the text that has been fixed to a path. Here's an example of what I'm talking about. The top text came out centered for some reason. Good. But the bottom text was off center. When I right click on the bottom text layer, I chose "Add To Selection" and it looks like my path text is selected but I still cannot move the text with the move tool:


[Image: gimp%20text%20along%20path.png]

See how the word leather seems to be selected but there seems to be no way to move the text around the art space. Aside from moving the text left, right, up and down I would also want to free orient the text too to get it placed just right.

Posted by: Megasoth - 03-20-2019, 02:33 PM - Forum: General questions - Replies (1)

I have been looking for a way to learn this effect without even knowing how to describe it.
Can this type of thing be done on gimp or do I need vector graphics or 3d modeling software?
