I know about Openraster (.ora), but I lose channels and masks.

My problem is that I use different tools, mostly Krita and Photoshop.  Krita does a great job opening .xcf files and saving them as (reasonable) .psd files.  Gimp is absolutely awful at .psd.  My problem now is that with Gimp 2.9 the .xcf files from Gimp are not even compatible with Krita.

Better yet, is there a way to edit the .xcf files so that Krita thinks is created by version 2.8?  I tried opening an .xcf file with a test editor and it freaked out.

Better PSD Support

The PSD plug-in now supports a wider range of blending modes for layers, at both importing and exporting: Linear Burn, Linear Light, Vivid Light, Pin Light, and Hard Mix blending modes. It also finally supports exporting layer groups and reads/writes the Pass Through mode in those. Additionally, GIMP now imports and exports color tags from/to PSD files.

I spoke too soon.  I'm now using 2.9.7 and . . . OMG it is awesome, at least I think so.  I need to test it, but still would like to know if anyone here is aware of a good format.

All I'm trying to do is draw a dotted line with the path tool. However, when I have the path tool open, it doesn't create paths when I click. there is a little symbol above the path tool that resembles the 'no smoking' frame (without a cigarette), which seems to mean it isn't active. I did Select -> None, and I have no floating layers. How do I make my paths work again?

Thanks.

I just downloaded GIMP and it's not displaying characters correctly

First off, I'm going to say that I am an absolute newbie at this, so I apologize If I'm asking a question that has been asked numerous times already.  Thank you all in advance for your help

And now for the problem.

I'm trying to crop out parts of the flag below and leave only the part that the crab touches behind. In addition, I'd to like overwrite the crab's texture with that of the flag.  Basically I'm trying to recreate that Maryland flag sticker that people have on their cars.  I have everything sized the way I want it, but I don't really know where to proceed from here.  Help would be most appreciated.

I have a few tablets.  One of them I want to use, but the other ones I don't.

In the 'Configure Input Devices' window there is a massive list of devices that I don't intend to use.  It is a mess, but I don't see any way to remove unused devices.

Is there an easy way to clean up the list and keep the device I want?

Did a search, but no results...

There is no pan tool in GIMP?  Similar to the "Hand Tool" in Photoshop.

Thanks,

Hi

Hi everyone,

I perform a very repetitive task which I would like to automate.

I have a lot of PDF files, that I need to cut in pieces, watermark them (based on name of source file) and then save them back as PDF. For example

This is the source file called Sample.PDF (attached)


  sample.pdf (Size: 255.98 KB / Downloads: 1080)

I insert 2 horizontal guides to divide the file in three areas (the guides are always horizontal). They location and number of the guides varies from file to file.

Then I use the Guillotine tool to split the file in 3 files. Each of these files have to be watermarked at the bottom as Sample_00, Sample_01, Sample_02 and saved as Sample_00.pdf, Sample_01.pdf and Sample_02.pdf respectively (attached).


  sample_00.pdf (Size: 200.14 KB / Downloads: 669)

  sample_01.pdf (Size: 48.52 KB / Downloads: 707)

  sample_02.pdf (Size: 48.64 KB / Downloads: 670)

I am not fussed about the naming format as long as it starts with the name of the source file and ends with a sequence number.

I have been trying to automate the following steps
1. Run Guillotine
2. Add watermark (format eg Sample_nn) near the middle bottom of the page generated by guillotine
3. Save files as Sample_nn.pdf in the same directory as the source file.

I am afraid I don't enough Scricpt-Fu or Pyton-Fu to be able to do it. Could any one of you assist please? Much appreciate your help !

Hi there. Can someone who is an expert with Gimp help me with a problem? I have pasted an image of an iridology chart below. I want to remove the white from this image altogether, so that the white layer is totally transparent. When I overlay this on the image of an iris, I will therefore be able to see the black lines and labels, but not the white, which will be transparent, showing the image of the eye that I have overlaid it on.

Also, is there a way of changing the colour of the black lines to another colour? This isn't essential, but it would be good if I could do this.

If you are able to help with my question, could you give me easy directions about how to do this, as I am not a regular Gimp user.

Thanks!

I'm really frustrated.  I've tried this with Adobe Photoshop Elements 7.0 (all I had access to), and now GIMP.

I can't figure out how to select an entire image WITHOUT the white space in GIMP.

The video tutorial (how to make paper miniatures for gaming) is located below. I'm getting stuck at or around 3:30.  The portion of the video dealing with Photoshop is relatively short, so anyone willing to give pointers on how to do anything else in the video would be my hero!






Thank,
