  Trouble following the luminosity mask tutorial.
Posted by: kirbywan - 04-15-2018, 02:42 AM - Forum: General questions - Replies (7)

So I 'm a complete beginner. I just went through all the basic tutorials except the assets folder. I tried to go through the Luminosity mask tutorial, but I'm getting stuck at the "Create Even Darker Masks" section. I don't get results similar to what the tutorial has. When I subtract the lights channel (L) from the darks channel (D) I get something that looks less dark. I think I'm missing a few key steps that would probably be obvious to a more experienced user. I could provide my file for comparison if you want.

Thanks all,

-Kirby

  Setting-Steps for enlarging and reducing brushes
Posted by: buddyM - 04-12-2018, 08:19 AM - Forum: General questions - Replies (2)

Hello folks,

I use the shortcuts ALT GR-[ and ALT GR-] (WIN) for enlarging and reducing brushes of all kinds.

Unfortunately, the whole thing happens in 1 pixel steps. I would like to change this and increase it to 3 to maybe 5 pixels. Can I put this anywhere?

I searched in vain in the preferences.

Thank you

PS: I use Gimp 2.10 RC1 if this is important for the matter.

  Error when opening JPEG image
Posted by: amber1999 - 04-12-2018, 05:25 AM - Forum: General questions - Replies (4)

   

Hi everyone,

I keep receiving this error when trying to open a particular JPEG image. All other images open fine, just this one doesn't work. Has anyone ever experienced this before and has found a solution? Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks,

  Opening a 300dpi JPG changes to 72ppi?
Posted by: Ilpoxi - 04-11-2018, 01:32 PM - Forum: General questions - Replies (4)

I make 300dpi JPG-s from CorelDraw. After export from CorelDraw I check the resolution once again in the Win Resource Management from file's properties and it's 300dpi. When I open this JPG in GIMP and check the Properties from Picture> (or Image>) Properties, the resolution is 72x72PPI. Why? I have done this 10 times to check it.

I have configured in GIMP program properties that a new document will be 300x300DPI. But this doesn't help.

If I open a photograph taken with 300dpi cellphone camera in Gimp, the resolution seems to remain 300DPI.

So, somehow my 300 DPI CorelDRaw Graphics are changed to 72PPI. Frustrating!

  Atmospheric haze: Add and remove
Posted by: Marscaleb - 04-10-2018, 06:16 PM - Forum: General questions - Replies (1)

I'm working on a project where I am blending a couple different photos of some landscape into a single image.

The problem I've having with this is properly color-matching many of these elements, particularly with regards of atmospheric haze.  Some of these mountains and hills were taken from different distances, and as a result some have more atmospheric haze than others, given them more or less of a blue tint.
To get my image to look right, I need to match these properly between each other.  Some of these I need to add that blue haze, and for some of them I'd like to remove it.

I thought adding the haze would be easy; I thought I'd be able to just add a new layer of just blue and just adjust the opacity.  But that didn't come out right; it didn't look like atmospheric haze, it looked like I just painted it blue.  Maybe I'm just a little off and need to use the right shade of blue, or maybe there is something else I'm missing.  Either way, I would appreciate some pointers.

I'm also curious if it is possible to remove atmospheric haze.  I tried adjusting the color balance to pull some of the blue out of a picture, but then it just looked like I was painting it yellow.  I have other pictures of the exact same kind of mountains, so I have samples of exactly what shades of green and brown and such that the various parts need to be.  Is there any way I can just automatically match the colors?  In fact, that would be really useful because they I can blend it other pictures where the plant-life is a totally different shade of green, or the rocks are a different color, etc.

So does anyone have any thoughts on how I can properly match the colors between these different photographs?

  On the wrong path.
Posted by: BlueHobbit - 04-09-2018, 10:27 PM - Forum: Watercooler - Replies (3)

Ive been playing with the path tool over the last few days, and was feeling fairly confident in its use. Abstract curvey shape creation..check! Then I hit a wall of frustation when I tried to manipulate the shapes. Flipping them just kept cutting parts of the image out. 

I was going to post a general distress message and whilst running through the process I was using... 

It just clicked that the option I need appears in the Tool Options itself. Select the paths.. and were off! Thats what I wanted it to do 4 hours ago! Flip, rotate, reshape. 

Elation! More things to play with!

Feeling smug. And it only took 4 hours of puzzled muttering.

  Imported brushes, not all working [SOLVED]
Posted by: novaseens - 04-09-2018, 02:49 PM - Forum: Extending the GIMP - Replies (2)

Hi all, so I recently got into GIMP 2 and went for brushes and saw the Cartography Brushes Pack for a RP map link below.
https://eragon2589.deviantart.com/art/Ca...n2589&qo=0

After placing them in the "Users\Accname\.gimp-2.8\brushes" I loaded up GIMP to use but instead of them being mountain each dot that drew the mountain was increated in size like this https://i.imgur.com/ucE67Py.png instead of amountain out the the pack. I reinstalled the pack but the same thing happened. This goes for a few other brushes I got aswell not all.

Please help


Nevermind I was using pencil instead of Paint "Brush" ..... well, now I know....

  GAP/video
Posted by: moon - 04-08-2018, 06:53 PM - Forum: Installation and usage - Replies (1)

Hi there


I started working/exploring with GAP using version 2.8.22 and MacOS Sierra 10.12.6
All goes fine until I looked for the video in the menu bar (willing to record my frames into an avi file).
It doesn't exist !
read somewhere that in this new version it's supposed to be in <Image>/Video/Encode/Master Encoder
Unfortunately it's not the case (at least for me).

Can anyone tell me what I'm missing.
Many thanks in advance.
M
