  Diamond Checkerboard Pattern
Posted by: 6shooter - 04-08-2023, 01:03 PM - Forum: General questions - Replies (4)

Good morning everyone. I am trying to create a seamless diamond checker pattern. I want to create a PNG file for my laser engraver and apply a diamond checkerboard pattern for engraving wood. I know how to create a checkerboard pattern, I can figure out how to make the rectangles into diamond shapes and I'm not seeming much online either. 

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

  Is there a script to select all the nodes inside a selection?
Posted by: PixLab - 04-07-2023, 03:25 PM - Forum: Extending the GIMP - Replies (6)

I'm speaking about the nodes on a path, actually I need to select multiple nodes I want to move one by one Huh
Select first one > Shift Select next > Shift Select next > Shift Select next > Shift Select next > Shift Select next > Shift Select next > Shift Select next........ that get quickly very very annoying Dodgy

I would like to know if there is something like make a selection, and just run the script and nodes inside the selection are selected

  Blending colors to fill in white cut-out lines?
Posted by: Pier - 04-07-2023, 10:17 AM - Forum: General questions - Replies (4)

Hi all,

I've used GIMP in the past and have re-installed it to use it for creating a single photo where i inserted 1 cut-out image (as a layer) onto another image. The smaller image i have cut out has these white lines around it, which i would just like to blend in with the surrounding colors. I'm not really interested in making a better cut out, because the image that is cut out is very complex in shape. I would really just want to 'brush' the white line away. Is such a thing possible? I tried making a selection and using the feather tool, but this only makes the white marginally darker. I really just wanna extend the surrounding color into the white line if possible, or whatever solution. The image will just be used for a thumbnail, so doesn't have to be razor sharp at all in these details. 

Thanks in advance!

attached is a zoomed-in shot of the inserted image and white line

  Can't save my work exactly as I need to!
Posted by: Limey39 - 04-06-2023, 02:10 AM - Forum: General questions - Replies (3)

I last used Gimp some years ago when I was doing some screen printing and at that time I had no problem saving my work in its finished form.
However, as a new user again after about an 8 year layoff, I find myself struggling to do what should be a most basic operation, saving my work in its completed form.
I have a graphic illustration from which I need to remove a solid color background. Having done so, then I can then set the foreground object in another design. I have had no problem with removing the background, but when I try to export it to my desktop in jpg format, it saves the file with a white background which is still present when I drop this image into my other design.
If anyone can tell me what I am doing wrong (if in fact I am), or what I might do to remedy this situation, I would be very grateful.

  Pseudo-infrared
Posted by: Ofnuts - 04-05-2023, 12:15 PM - Forum: Tutorials and tips - Replies (2)

Explaining something I obtained something that looks like an IR photo, so here it is...

The initial question is about inverting luminosity while keeping the colors...

So:

  • Put your image in a group (bottom group in screenshot below)
  • Add a white layer below it
  • Set the image layer to LCH Lightness mode
  • The result of the group is a grayscale version of the image
  • Layer > New from visible to "freeze" that result
  • Color > Invert for a negative version
  • Add a second group (top group in screenshot)
  • Add a copy of your initial image in it
  • Add the inverted layer above it in the group
  • Set the inverted layer to LCH Lightness mode
   

Edit: there is even a way to avoid the New from visible (layer modes in parentheses when different from "Normal"):

  GIMP 2.10 problem to tile with BIMP
Posted by: Keudro - 04-05-2023, 08:01 AM - Forum: General questions - Replies (2)

Hello Everyone Smile

I'm looking for help to tile and resize Images with Bimp, I checked on the forum but I didn't see any post about that so I'm doing mine haha Wink


I have a lot of image ( wallpaper tile ) 2000px X 2000px  and I would like to use BIMP to resize and tile them in the format of 2000px X 8000px .

When I try to do it with the plug-in tile, in BIMP,  the size of the image I get is not good.

When I do it manually, i'm going to FILTER -- MAP -- TILE , change the options and it's working.

I would  like to upgrade the Dpi of the image as well, if anyone have suggestion It will be nice Smile

I would be really grateful if someone could help me to solve those problem Smile

Thank you very much for your reading and answering Wink

Have a beautiful day

Wink Installing G.MIC
Posted by: Philippe D - 04-05-2023, 07:25 AM - Forum: Extending the GIMP - Replies (16)

Bonjour  Smile

Je viens d'arriver sur ce forum. et suis également nouveau sur Gimp.
j'ai un souci avec l'installation de G.Mic . Je ne le vois pas alors qu'il est installé au bon endroit. 
Je l'ai supprimé, réinstallé plusieurs fois et complètement. Rien n'y fait. 
A la réinstallation j'ai parfois  eu des messages d'erreur (4 ou 5)  concernant des dll "manquantes ou introuvables" alors qu'elles s'affichent bien dans le détail de l'installation (dans les plug-ins).
Si ça tombe j'ai zappé une manip toute bête. je ne sais pas. 
Si vous pouviez m'aider j'en serais ravi.
Je suis sur Gimp 2.10.34 et travaille sous windows 11.
Merci d'avance ;-)

  For your panoramas: Xpano
Posted by: Ofnuts - 04-02-2023, 05:07 PM - Forum: Other graphics software - Replies (11)

Want to stitch pictures together? Try Xpano (Linux and WIndows version).

Very easy to use. From this:

   

To this(*):

   

... in  matter of seconds. Only manual intervention: tweak the crop frame (but it automatically determines the biggest frame that fits the stitch, and can even auto-fill corners).

Only two downsides: install appears some what bulky, and JPEG are saved with quartered chroma (but you can saved to PNG).

(*) Image scaled down 50% to fit the forum's file size limits.
