I’ve been going through some old black-and-white photos and thought it would be fun to add some color to them. I’ve seen a few online tools that claim to do this, but I’m not sure which ones give the best results.
Has anyone tried Hotpot.ai or any similar tools? I’ve also come across Supertool, which seems to offer a variety of file editing features. Has anyone used it for photo coloring?
I’m looking for free or affordable options that are easy to use. Also, if you have any tips on making the colors look realistic and not too overdone, that would be super helpful!
Thanks so much in advance—looking forward to hearing your thoughts!
My son has a recipe, written on a piece of paper, that was laid on a piece of paper, then photographed. I'm trying to get an end result of "just" the "text" / notes (in that photograph etc.)
I hope that makes sense. Three layers so to speak, and some accompanying "unwanted artifacts." ("layers" are the desired text, the white base piece of paper, and the paper the recipe was written on, with some marks of spiral book page marks on left edge.
Ideally, I like to get to a point where I can give him back an .SVG with "text only" on a transparent background so he can print it on some "type of media" with his laser machine.
The desire is getting that text off the paper on to a transparent background. I'm just not able to figure "it" out. I simply have tried so long, I've just thoroughly confused myself. If any of you can spare a bit of time, any guidance would certainly be appreciated.
I am not an expert by any means with GIMP or graphic arts. There is good contrast of the text and the paper. I've tried to attach one of them, but I haven't been allowed to do that so far. (there are 2 similar to be converted/extracted) He wants to keep the authors "script."
I'm assuming that there should already be presets in the GEGL Negative Darkroom (because without them, I don't have a clue!!)
Running Gimp 2.10.38 on Opensuse Tumbleweed (latest..)
I am trying to get the best out of VERY old negatives/slides (60 years or so...)
Also pointing me to any helpful stuff (preferably for the Gimp), would be muchly appreciated...
Thanks, John.
hi, i've recently noticed that when i work with docks hidden (tab shortcut) and close gimp in this state, after reopening and showing docks again the right dock becomes wider than it was. this happens every time i do before-mentioned steps and after some iterations it ends up overlapping a canvas entirely.
can you please help me with this? i'm using 2.10.38
upd. unchecking "save windows positions on exit" resolve this same issue but the reason is somewhere else and i'm still wondering where
I am now able to use my scanner in Gimp 3 thanks to the developer who published it at https://yingtongli.me/git/gimp-xsanecli
It works in Wayland as well as X.
Searched through this forum without success, as I am NOT an advanced pc computer person by any means. Purchased a new pc, its been updated to windows 11. Downloaded Gimp 3.0. The old machine croaked and took my personal patch collection with it. I've been searching and searching for a method to install new ones without success. Frankly, I can't even get windows in its infinite wisdom, to allow me to even locate the folders, where I believe new patches would reside in Gimp. Anyone know where there's a relatively SIMPLE tutorial to install new patches? Was hoping there was a tutorial to install them utilizing Gimp, and not cracking the mysterious codes within the Gimp files scenario via windows. For your consideration - I thank you.
Hello, I'm trying to create a plugin that will move the selection as if it's 'displacing' pixels as it moves. More specifically, if moving one pixel to the right, it will take all the pixels just to the right of the selection and place them on the left side of the selection.
If I had a way to test if a certain pixel is inside the selection or not, I could hack something together. So far I haven't found a way to test pixels for whether they are selected or not.
I am looking for any Gimp 3 python API documentation link.
For now, I am mainly searching on Google, wich most of the time, yeld Gimp 2 API results (outdated), or C API (nice but translating from C to python is a PITA, too many trials and errors).
