I have an image and i need to replicate part of the image and put this below the original image to create a longer image. I have done this by creating layers for the original and the partial copy. The background colour (in this case the sky) at the bottom of the original and the top of the copy are not quite the same. I need to be able to blur the sky colours together. I cant use the gradient because there are other parts in the image (ie not the sky) at the border between the layers which would be impacted.
1. One thing that majorly annoys since 2.10 when you paste an image, or part, the Floating layer, in old versions will always auto switch to Move mode so you move the paste until you anchor or deselect it. Now, every time I paste, it may auto-change to Move mode but when you start dragging the Floating layer, it deselects it or anchors it, so you have to Undo paste again and redo the movement or switch to Move or paste as new layer but not Floating layer. Would be nice the Move Tool to be used all the time until you manually deselect the new Floating layer.
Trying to make some textures fully transparent, I delete the content (TGA files) by selecting it and as you can see visually the image is fully transparent. Nope, you change Alpha levels and the whole image shows as if hidden... then when I use Tools I wonder why and where they got the full images from when I deleted all in each texture. The transparency is just FAKE. Where is the way to do it, other than making an entirely new Image and saving it. In a particular case I have to modify images, cant save new images that are transparent initially. Why is this and how to fix this transparency?
Sometimes I would use PNG files that 2048x2048 are like 4 MB, I use a separate tool for simple transparency to save it, the file shrinks to 100 KB or so, why ? What is the transparency of gimp even doing?
This is my first post on a GIMP-forum.
I want to buy a custom mouse mat, as no good desk-sized ones exist with a black/green theme without ugly logos.
So I wanted to make my own image to print into the mat.
The image consists of light, which I’ve changed to green, however, I wanted different “grades” of green, as the light “fades” to black.
Is it possible to make GIMP change to green and automatically choose shade based on intensity of white/gray (light)?
Also, if I have 2 separate layers of green, one being “brighter/more intense than the other, is there a way to “blend” the 2 layers by inserting different shades of green?
I'm having an issue with GIMP 2.8.22 on both Linux Mint and Windows 10. When I go to add text, the font selection area has no dropdown. It just says Sans. I have more fonts installed, but am unable to select one.
Hi, everyone. So, mine for the resolution is 220x292 and it looks blurry to me. So, I tried to get right into it once and gave up for myself. Can you please help me by giving some hints and tips?
Hello, I have been using GIMP for a long time. However, I am unable to understand the logic behind one operation. If I were to do Color Enhancement (Hue-Saturation), and I select a Primary color (say Red), I see that only certain colors are enhanced. What is the logic behind this? I am aware of the following:
a.) RGB -> HSL
b.) HSL -> RGB
c.) Saturation Factor if enhancement in saturation (say 40%)
d.) But..what is primary color?
The math behind this would be really helpful. If someone can shed some thoughts on this it would be helpful.
Patterns saved to AppData>Roaming>GIMP>2.10>patterns - aren't available to use. Have tried closing/restarting Gimp and rebooting my laptop but still no luck - yet if I look in Edit>Preferences>Folders>Patterns the .pat file I copied to the correct save location folder is there...
Can someone tell if it's possible to get the same antialiasing used in paint? Paint uses some kind of multicolourd cleartype, is it possible to get same antialiasing in gimp?
See attachement. Libre office is the same text antialiasing paint uses.
Over the last few weeks I've sporadically had wiggy results when I inversed a selection. Now this seems to be constant. I have an old photo loaded and want to delete the border. I do not want to crop the picture, just delete the border. I drew a path around the image, converted the path to a selection, then used Ctrl+I to inverse it. After several seconds, the entire image, border and all, was filled with dense diagonal moving pixel lines.
I've attached a screenshot of a small section of the inversion on a white background at 100%.
Here are things I unsuccesfully tried in prepartion for posting this matter:
Added a new transparent layer and selected that layer.
Added a new white layer.
Made image layers invisible.
Changed from the Path tool to the Move tool.
Tried Selection > Inverse instead of the keyboard shortcut.
None of these worked. Right now I can work around this by cutting out the image portion of that layer, pasting it in position on a new layer and deleting the existing one, but that's not an acceptable long-term solution. That's not how GIMP is supposed to work and not what I'm used to.
As I said, this has been sporadic, and earlier errors picked up splotches from the original selection. Now the mess is on the entire image. It's gotten worse!
Is this a bug or am I missing something about the upgrade to 2.10.10?
How do you guys fill in the outlines? When I stroke my paths/selections I can't select the inside area, it'll only select the drawn lines. How do you guys color in the area? Do you just color the area then erase from the outline? or select the outline and delete that space on the colored area layer?
