I tried to clone 50% opaque layer on another layer. The result is the same as cloning 100% opaque layer. How do I clone translucent and semi-transparent image?
My OS is ubuntu 16.04. I use "unity tweak tool" for workspace settings. When I use "super + s" keyboard combination for alternating workspaces, gimp works fine.
However When I use mouse click for alternating workspaces, gimp won't receive any painting inputs. That means I can't paint on the canvas at all.
I just recently updated from a previous version of gimp to 2.10 and have about 16 minutes ago found that the Brightness and contrast options show a accurate preview of what "should" happen but instead it does nothing.
I also just tried to use "levels" to try and accomplish the same effect but that also did the same thing (nothing)
This is a new image that has RGB color ect, but ill add more information here if i need to clarify things.
I have just solved my probleme of saving file (see thread file-png-save-defaults) by replacing one part of the code for another that I found on internet.
I would like to understand why the one I use at fist didn't work.
That is a problem of string building. Below in the code, two different way to build a string (which is eventually insert in the save file-png-save-defaults function).
The option number one is working. The option number 2 is not. Do you have any idea why ?
And the crual thing is that the function strcmp, which compare string, display 0, meaning that it is the same string.
Why then one of them isi working, but the other one is not ?
I've been trying to add a shadow to the attached image - I want the shadow in front of the image with a light source being behind the subject to the left.
I just can't figure it out. I've tried Drop Shadow & perspective shadow but can't find any way to add it to the front. I've also tried Gmic and Layers Effect.
I'd really appreciate any advice as it's slowly driving me mad this morning!
I've been using 2.8 to do texture work for a very long time without any major issues, but after updating to 2.10 and proceeding to use it in the exact same way the program keeps abruptly closing with no warning, no errors, and no chance to save my work. It seemed to happen most frequently when working with multiple windows open, but it just now happened twice in a row while working on a single image. This basically renders GIMP totally unusable, as I can't keep throwing work away every time the program dies- the odds of a crash or completing a texture without issue are about 50/50, and it's very easy to forget to save when focusing on the work I'm doing.
I use a Huion drawing tablet and am usually using it to draw when the crash happens; it doesn't appear to happen when the program is inactive, it's always when I'm in the middle of something. I need pressure sensitivity and never work with just a mouse alone, so I can't say whether it happens as frequently then.
I'm not able to go back to 2.8 since I now have many files saved in the new format... Where can I begin troubleshooting this? Are there any crash dumps or logs I can find? I'm on Windows 10x64 and using the latest drivers for all my system. I tried uninstalling and then reinstalling GIMP over again, but the issue persists.
I hope someone would be so kind and help me with this challenge.
I will like to combine an image of a soccer player and a 3D render image I have created. So far I have been able to put the two pictures together.. But I need the final touch to make it look more 'real' or 'life like:
