  Cleaning up gray mess around text?
Posted by: HavingTooMuchFun - 03-07-2023, 09:37 AM - Forum: General questions - Replies (11)

[Image: gray-mess.jpg]

I've got a whole document that looks like this; the text is faded, and there's this pale gray… CLOUD... around it. Anything I do to try to fade or remove the cloud makes the text worse; the light areas of text are just too close to the color of the cloud. Darkening the text also darkens the cloud for the same reason. There's got to be a way, though, right…?

Wink Deform image to a specific shape (e.g. ellipse)
Posted by: jugoslav - 03-07-2023, 06:28 AM - Forum: General questions - Replies (5)

Hi
Absolutely new to gimp.
0% experience, never used, mot even installed.
Want to use it if one thing is possible.

Is it possible to deform, distort, wrap, do not know right word a photo, usually rectangular shape, but lets say any shape, to a different shape, in this case I would like an ellipse, so the entire photo is deformed, something like stretching a rubber?

So in short any shape photo transform to any other shape deforming the whole photo, not short enough, sorry.

Thank you

Python ofn-path-to-cylinder
Posted by: Ofnuts - 03-06-2023, 10:32 PM - Forum: Extending the GIMP - Replies (18)

Here comes ofn-path-to-cylinder, hopefully a faster and easier way to map a path (text/logo) over a cylinder.

   

Comes with a big doc (took me longer to write the doc than the code...).

As you would have guessed you can download it from here.

Enjoy.

Gegl Source Code for all my GEGL Filters
Posted by: BeaverGEGLFreak - 03-06-2023, 02:39 AM - Forum: Extending the GIMP - Replies (10)

This is the same as content found on the page https://github.com/LinuxBeaver/

It is the source code to over thirty GEGL Plugins I have made.  I recommend going to Github to get them but having all the code in one place is also a good idea. 

Instruction here to compile for both Linux and Windows.
---------------

OS specific location to put GEGL Filter binaries
Windows C:\Users<YOUR NAME>\AppData\Local\gegl-0.4\plug-ins

Linux /home/(USERNAME)/.local/share/gegl-0.4/plug-ins

Linux (Flatpak) /home/(USERNAME)/.var/app/org.gimp.GIMP/data/gegl-0.4/plug-ins
[/url]
Compiling and Installing
[url=https://github.com/LinuxBeaver/GEGL-Effects---Layer-Effects-in-Gimp-using-GEGL#linux]

Linux
To compile and install you will need the GEGL header files (

Code:
libgegl-dev
on Debian based distributions or
Code:
gegl
on Arch Linux) and meson (
Code:
meson

on most distributions).
meson setup --buildtype=release build
ninja -C build


Windows
The easiest way to compile this project on Windows is by using msys2. Download and install it from here: https://www.msys2.org/
Open a msys2 terminal with
Code:
C:\msys64\mingw64.exe
. Run the following to install required build dependencies:
pacman --noconfirm -S base-devel mingw-w64-x86_64-toolchain mingw-w64-x86_64-meson mingw-w64-x86_64-gegl
Then build the same way you would on Linux:
meson setup --buildtype=release build
ninja -C build

  I can't remove the background of my images anymore
Posted by: andrei - 03-05-2023, 01:22 AM - Forum: General questions - Replies (4)

Hi guys I hope someone can help me with what is happening. Suddenly I found myself not being able to create image with invisible background anymore, usually what I do is to select what I want to keep with the free selector, then invert the selection and press either clear, copy or crop, that used to do the trick for me, didn't need to do any more than that to create a invisible background, but suddenly this is not working anymore for me, whenever I repeat the process the background just turns white and I thought I just had to add an alpha channel and would be problem solved, but it wasn't, while the image is being edited on gimp, the quadricular pattern do appear to show the invisible background, but when I exported the image the background is still white, I tried to use the eraser but still woudln't work, I tried to add another layer with an alhpa channel too the result was the same and now simply don't know what to do.
Like I literally did the same process earlier in the same day and was succesful so wtf, I didn't changed any configuration of the program, did that happened to anybody besides me? And again, while on gimp the quaricular pattern form the alpha channel do appear, but when I export the image, the background is white.

  HUH?
Posted by: sallyanne - 03-04-2023, 05:57 AM - Forum: General questions - Replies (4)

I startd with a 200px x 200px canvas to try something out.
All of a sudden the canvas is over 2000 square. When I typed the numbers in for the first 200 it went down to 199.x so the other did the same. Not sure why.
I am trying out a recursive transform on something - Why has the canvas gone almost 10 times the size?
Just noticed it is showing mm at the bottom. could that be it?

Gegl Glossy Balloon Text Styling Filter
Posted by: BeaverGEGLFreak - 03-03-2023, 03:24 PM - Forum: Extending the GIMP - Replies (1)

Have fun with this silly filter that is glossy and balloonish. You are expected to rasterize text then apply this filter.

Gegl GEGL Effects - Layer Effects counterpart for Gimp
Posted by: BeaverGEGLFreak - 03-03-2023, 03:15 PM - Forum: Extending the GIMP - No Replies

https://github.com/LinuxBeaver/GEGL-Effe...using-GEGL

This is a full layer Effects engine that rivals Adobe CC in text styling. It ships with two bonus filters called "bevel" and "inner glow" that are useful as stand alone.

Users are expected to apply GEGL Effects to raster copies of the text layers.

[Image: text.png?raw=true]

[Image: effects4.png?raw=true]


[Image: GE.png?raw=true]



The user must install the binaries (inner glow, bevel and layereffects) for this to work.  All included in the "release section".

OS specific location to put GEGL Filter binaries

Windows C:\Users<YOUR NAME>\AppData\Local\gegl-0.4\plug-ins

Linux /home/(USERNAME)/.local/share/gegl-0.4/plug-ins

Gegl Custom Bevel - GEGL Plugin for advance Bevel Effects
Posted by: BeaverGEGLFreak - 03-03-2023, 03:05 PM - Forum: Extending the GIMP - No Replies

https://github.com/LinuxBeaver/GEGL-Custom-Bevel/

Custom Bevel is a new filter that can do all sorts of unique bevel and bump text effects. Six blending options for the bevel exist -- "multiply, hardlight, colordodge, plus, darken, lighten. This is NOT the same as the final/master blend mode that uses Gimp blend modes for every GEGL filter. What Custom Bevel does is changes the blend mode of the emboss filter to one of six blend modes. This can create all kinds of interesting results.

This filter can also change the internal median shape (which doesn't do much) and choose between an internal box blur and gaussian blur which will radically change the way the bevel looks.

Check out what you can do with it and Enjoy !
