  old school game background "palette"

Simpliest ways to achieve something like this? Leisure Suit Larry 2 & 3 got exactly the stuff that im looking for..
(you know that basic 3 colour bg, with some "sprite" graining, lines and blurring in it that millions of games had at that time..)
and also how to reduce the image quality to make it most EGA-like..  Huh

I need step by step instructions, i dont know much about GIMP. Thanks!

  Gradient fill doesn't work the same in Gimp 2.10.2?
Posted by: sorceress21 - 06-13-2018, 08:35 PM - Forum: Gimp 2.10 - Replies (2)

In Gimp 2.8.16 If I am working with an image with an alpha channel, select a certain color or area, click on the Gradient Blend Tool then swipe the tool across the screen at the angle I want, the selected areas ONLY fill with the gradient.

When I do the exact same thing with the exact same image in Gimp 2.10.2 initially it works, but when I click "select none" to clear the selection line the gradient paints into the entire image, overwrites the original image content and the path line remains.

It's infuriating!!! No doubt it's something I am doing wrong so can someone please tell me how to fix this?

  Multi-Page PDF (GIMP 2.10)
Posted by: Cyrus - 06-13-2018, 08:16 PM - Forum: Gimp 2.10 - Replies (2)

I saw that in 1.8 you could "Create" a multi-page PDF, but in this version I do not see this option.

I see that after selecting Export as PDF, it gives you the option to make multiple pages, but only with Layers.

I have a lot of text and images Layers in one XCF, so I don't think I can do this with Layers unless I export each page as a single image, but then I anticipate a drop in quality.

Should I just look for a third-party application that merges PDFs? Or is there a GIMP tool/option I am missing?
(I'm not renting Acrobat just for this purpose... I do not like Adobe and I don't want to give them money)

  Skintone adjustment with samplepoints script ? (@ofnuts)
Posted by: Espermaschine - 06-13-2018, 03:07 PM - Forum: Extending the GIMP - Replies (7)

Yesterday i tried a faceswap on a couple with G'MIC Blend [seamless]

They were both in the same image, but one was asian and the other caucasian.

I used Pat David's tutorial for adjusting skintones with Samplepoint and Curves but it was (again) really difficult and time consuming without good results.

So i was wondering (because ofnut's once said that it would be easy to script):

any chance we get a script, please ?   Smile

  Is there a way to resize the image without pixelation?
Posted by: nopropsgames - 06-12-2018, 07:11 PM - Forum: General questions - Replies (6)

(Just for clarification, i am using Gimp 2.8)

I had a similar problem with another image (the image size was 777 x 777) however, this is much different,

I took a picture of a old metal key i had lying around, and made the background (mostly) transparent (still leaving a shadow) however, i had to scale this down to the appropriate size for my game, but when i did that, it became all pixelated, (and i would like to maintain the same look of the image, despite the size.

Any help would be greatly appreciated,

Thanks in advance,

  (new user) Unable to save any file including .xcf
Posted by: Montmorency - 06-10-2018, 11:42 PM - Forum: Windows - Replies (4)

Brand new Gimp user here, using 2.10.2 on Windows 7, 32 bit.

Installation went very smoothly.

Opened a relatively small existing jpg (photo), less than 100kb probably.

Managed to use one of the basic guides to convert image to a pseudo circle.

Then tried saving to .png, but the save dialogue just "hung".

Tried to save to .xcf, but that hung too.

Restarted gimp, and after reading around, realised I should probably be exporting as, rather than saving as.
Did that, but it also hung.

Restarted again, and just tried saving as .xcf. Hung again.

Restarted again, and now I couldn't even open the .jpg, or any similar .jpg.
The open dialogue hangs in a similar way to save.

I assume there must be something wrong with my installation of Gimp.

Only thing I can think of is to reinstall.
(Maybe I should reboot first - haven't tried that).

Thought I might be memory constrained, since this box only has 2GB, but these are small files I'm trying to work with.

Should I try an older version, perhaps? Where would I get that from? I didn't see any options for older versions on the download page.

Thanks a lot in advance for any advice.

  Any Freelancers?
Posted by: cachophrastus - 06-10-2018, 10:33 AM - Forum: Other graphics software - Replies (1)

Hi,

I'm wondering if any gimp coders would consider creating a small app for me?  I use freelancer.com so we could use that platform for the job if you like.

This is the problem.  I rustproof vehicles and have had a very nice app developed for my website where I can upload pictures of the process of rustproofing a customer's vehicle.  You can see it here: https://crp.before-n-after.co.uk/index.p...dsale-none

Or if the link gets deleted as I expect it will, pm me and I will send you a link.  It's taking me far too long to upload the images to the website app.  It sometimes takes a whole day!  I need to do it in half an hour max.  I'm quite happy to pay £500 for an app to my user spec.  (I can't afford more than this).

So here is my specification.

Loading images to CRP page.


It's taking way too long!

This is what I'm doing at the moment.

  1. I put the smart card in a card reader.
  2. On my mac, in Desktop I use “Quick Look” to view the image. I then rename the file. Examples “front outriggers before pressure wash” etc. etc.
  3. I upload each image individually to Pixlr.com (Free online imaging app). On Pixlr, I can crop some, add brightness and contrast to some and blur some parts of some images (to hide untidy parts of my workshop which are visible!). I can also compress the files.
  4. On Pixlr I click “Save” and then “Replace” for the file to replace the original, uncompressed file on the smartcard, with the same file name.
  5. I then upload the files to the CRP.

On the last one I did this took all day! I need to speed it up so that it takes no longer than half an hour. This is how I would like to do it:


1. I upload the images on the smart card to an app. I've found a very good app on the Mac store to compress the files called “Compress Lite”. This does a very good job of batch compressing and the images are all compressed down to about 230 GB in an instant. Then I want to upload the image to an app where they all appears as thumbnails on the app with a field for the caption. I edit the images as thumbnails. The images and editing are pretty routine now, I don't need to see them large format, although maybe a usefull option would be to click on the image to see it larger. I crop, lighten, add contrast, blur, as necessary. It would be good if I could then click on a button and all the images and their captions get uploaded to the CRP automatically.

I hope this appeals to someone.

Cheers Chris

  16 bit support
Posted by: einstein - 06-10-2018, 09:51 AM - Forum: Gimp 2.10 - Replies (14)

Hi!

They say that GIMP 2.10 supports 16 bit images but when I import a 16-bit TIF to GIMP, it prompts a warning that it will convert it to 8 bit. I am confused. It looks like it didn't loose any smooth tonal changes but I'm not sure cuz I don't use any professional monitor.
Somebody could explain me what's up?


And another question, simultaneously.

I am a BIT confused about all these BIT depths. I can save a 16-bit TIF file in GIMP with JPEG compression. It seems that it keeps all smooth tonal changes but the file size is very small, like average 8-bit JPEG. Is is possible that 16-bit information is stored in such a small file? Of course some JPG-typical artifacts occur but the result ich still so much better than an usual JPEG. Lastly, could we alter the amount of JPEG compression within TIF format?
