Hello Everyone,

I've created a font using paths in Gimp.
The .svg file contains all the character for the font.
Would I need to separate each character, in order to create a font?
If so, would you guys have any suggestions, as to how I might go about separating each character.
Is there a script/plug-in that I can use with Gimp 2.8, to accomplish this task quickly?
  

For me Gimp-Forum is broken (no stylesheet) for Firefox Linux, but it works on Chromium or Firefox Windows...

This started this morning (no FF updates since mid-July).

Am I the only one with the problem?

Edit: curiouser and curiouser, same problem on AskUbuntu.com which uses a totally different server software....

So I have this picture of fire, all I want to do is have the picture as a border (webcam overlay). I just want to cut out a big rectangle out of the middle and have it transparent in the middle so whats left of the photo is made into a border, and then add text to the border. I have been messing with it for hours and can not figure it out, any help is appreciated. Thank you!!

I just finished making a book cover and saved the image as png.
The image is flattened and it has 300.000 pixels. These are the specifications asked for by CreateSpace.
 
They also ask that the image should be saved as a “press quality PDF.” I tried saving as pdf, it gives me a file that can be read by a pdf reader but when I tried to test print the file it comes out the size of a pencil eraser.
 
Is this what I’m supposed to get or am I doing something wrong?

Hi there,

I recently got GIMP 2.10.4 after previously using 2.8. When initially learning how to fade layers to transparent, I used a tutorial which I will post below. With the new version, I am doing the exact same steps. When I get to "drag a vertical line from the bottom of the image to where you want the fade effect," NOTHING happens. No gradient, nothing. I've tried this several times with the same failure. Did something change with the new version, or am I just completely missing something?

Add a Layer Mask

1. Open up the Layers menu [CTRL][L]. If you're opening just a basic jpeg or png there should be just one layer at this point.
   
2. In the Layers menu, right click on the layer and select Add Layer Mask.
   
3. Make sure White (full opacity) is selected and click Add. You should see a white box show up next to the thumbnail of your image in the Layers menu.
   

1. Right click on your layer and make sure that Edit Layer Mask is selected.
   
2. Make sure that the Foreground Color is set to Black and the Background Color is set to White in the GIMP tools menu.
   
3. Click on the Blend Tool (it should be just to the right of Bucket Fill).
   
4. Drag a vertical line from the bottom of the image to where you want to stop the fade effect. (Hint: Hold down the [CTRL] key to help make the line vertical.)
   

Up to now I was using 2.8.
Now I changed to 2.10.6

It is impossible to "export with the extension .jpg.

Read a pic / make changes / export as:  with a new Name / gives an errormessage "File or directory not found /

How can I export as jpg ??[img]c://user/jo/pictures/gimp export.jpg[/img]

I've just installed gimp 2.10.6 on Kubuntu 18.04 from the ppa.launchpad.net/otto-kesselgulasch/gimp/ubuntu repository, but when I try to start it I get a pop-up with the following message:

     GdkPixbuf version too old!

     GIMP requires GdkPixbuf version 2.30.8 or later.  Installed GdkPixbuf version is 2.30.7.
 
     Somehow you or your software packager managed
     to install GIMP with an older GdkPixbuf version.

     Please upgrade to GdkPixbuf version 2.30.8 or later.

however, according to synaptic, the version of gdkpixbuf on my system is 2.36.11-2....

I tried starting it from a console, and the pop-up was preceded by the following message:

     ~$ gimp
     Missing fast-path babl conversion detected, Implementing missing babl fast paths
     accelerates GEGL, GIMP and other software using babl, warnings are printed on
     first occurance of formats used where a conversion has to be synthesized

does anyone have any idea how to fix this?

I'm looking to make a spoof, as so many before me have done, of this image. How would I go about altering a photo/detailed illustration of a face such that it resembles the faces in this image?

I've tried various things with edge-detection but it always leads to an over-detailed image. I'm a bit of a newbie so I really don't know where to go from here....

Any suggestions would be much appreciated!

I can not get this to work and it doesnt seem to be explained in the doc.

Does the skeleton path have to be a single path or multiple ? (im guessing single).

When i call up the multi text along path, it doesnt look like in this screenshot and i cant put multiple lines in the simple text along path dialogue...



instead it looks like this, but when i press okay after i inserted several lines, nothing happens

   

I have an image.
I want to put another layer on top - say white or black.
On top of this layer, I want to put text.

What's the best way of doing this?

I thought it would be simple.
But I'm struggling.
I've started by created a new image. Then color the background. Then copy and past onto the image. And then add text on top.

I seem to be going wrong. I'm struggling to resize the layer or cut a bottom or top part off.

Hoping someone can point me in the right direction.

Thanks.
