  Reshaping toolbox
Posted by: origininc - 05-10-2019, 05:41 PM - Forum: General questions - Replies (4)

Hi everyone,

If you go to https://www.gimp.org/news/2019/04/07/gim...-released/  and look at the toolbox under the words Transformation tools you'll see that the toolbox is in 2 columns. I can't make my toolbox 2 columns. I clicked on the right of the toolbox and tried to squeeze it (the way I did in previous versions) and I can only get it to be 3 columns. Just in case I'm not being clear I'm attaching my (wrong) results. I really need the toolbox to be just 2 columns. Is this a bug? Will it be fixed? Is this the new norm?
 Thanks, 
Frederick

  Clone tool pixelated at edges
Posted by: rebs2603 - 05-10-2019, 09:31 AM - Forum: General questions - Replies (8)

Hello,
Can anyone help. My clone tool in gimp 2.10 has become pixelated at the edge when I want a smooth copy of an image. It sometimes works but then becomes pixelated. I recently uploaded a large tiff file to my artwork which seemed to cause the problem but have since deleted the tiff. However, it still keeps happening which means that I cannot clone artwork. Is there something in the clone setting I can alter.
Any help much appreciated.

  Separating Image from Background
Posted by: shirlg52 - 05-09-2019, 02:21 AM - Forum: General questions - Replies (2)

Hi Guys,
I am a new user of Gimp, and have problems when separating images from backgrounds.
I follow what I think is the correct procedure as follows:
Import a JPG file. Select ‘Add Alpha Channel’. Select ‘Intelligent Scissors’. Use scissors to select portion to be isolated. Select ‘Invert’.
However when I depress CtrL + X, both the selected image and the background is deleted.
Where am I going wrong?

  GIMP cutting beyond selection
Posted by: JohnSmith - 05-09-2019, 01:36 AM - Forum: General questions - Replies (6)

I like to use the path tool to create a selection and then cut the selected area of the image. But for some reason lately, it's cutting sightly beyond my selection. This is only happening with the selections that are converted from a path and I can't figure out why.

  [SOLVED] Update problem
Posted by: Krol - 05-08-2019, 07:01 AM - Forum: Linux and other Unixen - Replies (2)

Hi all.

Since the last update (I'm on Linux Mint 19, with otto-kesselgulasch PPA), all my files in .config plug-ins folder seem to be invisible, except Gmic and InsaneBump.
I've : lot of OfNut files, GatTools, LayerFx, DuplicateLayer to other Images...
All invisible files are Python files.

Any idea ?

(Sorry for my poor english... Sad )


I find solution...

I've to install gimp-python package...
I don't know why it wasn't necessary before... ???

But... SOLVED !

  How to animate section of photo with ripple effect
Posted by: CruelHellCry - 05-06-2019, 08:39 PM - Forum: General questions - Replies (2)

I have a photo that I need to put the ripple effect only in the bottom third of the photo.  I imported the photo into GIMP 2.10.10 and then created an additional layer with the part that I wanted to put the ripple effect. While I was able to apply the ripple effect on the section, it created the ripple layers in a new tab.

I know that there is a way to do this, but I haven't been able to figure it out or find something thru Google.

Thanks!

Update 1:
The Waves filter works as expected in that the wave layers are in the same tab.

Update 2:
I copied the ripple layers from the new tab back into the original tab and I can get the ripple effect.  But I know that something is not correct as I should not have to do this in order to have a ripple effect on the photo.

  blending backgrounds
Posted by: df23 - 05-05-2019, 10:06 AM - Forum: General questions - Replies (3)

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.

Any suggestions on how this can be done?

thanks
