  Some questions about layers (transparency,newlayerfromimagedragenddrop)
Posted by: mzoltan32 - 02-05-2023, 10:34 AM - Forum: General questions - Replies (5)

So it seems to me that when i do drag and drop in 2.10 onto the layer panel i get a new layer with the image i drag and dropped but i can no longer set up with layer properties a one parameter which sais "transparency" in hungarian (being filled with transparency or such normally when making a new layer this is the bottom most attribute)

Additionally i would like to ask, how to drag and drop and fill up a layer with an image which layer was already made. I tryed highlighting the layer and making the second (only other) layer invisible, and dragging and dropping onto the canvas now only showing that transparency fill option selected layer. Well this way it also creates a new layer however this way it shows up correctly on the combined image (as i intend it anyway).

  Font size
Posted by: carolaro - 02-05-2023, 07:02 AM - Forum: General questions - Replies (4)

Ok I'm very new to using Gimp 2.10.32. I'm having trouble getting my font big enough.  I started with a transparent background 1080x1080 and imported homemade apple font from google fonts. Now I make a text box that is just barely smaller than the transparent background and I type a + sign into the box. The problem is it doesn't fill the box it just takes up maybe 1/9th of the text box.  So then I try and just up the font size.  I increase it and the plus sign moves downward in the box until it's at the bottom left corner of the background but it's still not nearly big enough so I choose the select tool to move it back up to the upper left corner to continue raising the font size. This is the point I'm stuck, The edit text box widget that is normally at the top of the text box is off the screen at this point because the text box is so big, so I can't increase the font anymore in the box.  Any help would be fantastic. Basically my end goal is to have the + to cover most of the background, centered, with slight margins on all sides.  Please and thankyou!

Did a test with a fresh start  & all was working. Omg all ok, but i'm wondering about first document.

I know i had cut & scaled the layers, probably set some parameters i do not recognize as a newbee.
Could there be a general reset that will help or else i will scrap it & will have to re-edit all my layers.

  Colour difference between GIMP and Adobe products
Posted by: balazsmarton@yahoo.co.uk - 02-04-2023, 08:14 PM - Forum: General questions - Replies (3)

Hi,

I have the same PDF document opened in GIMP and various Adove products (s well as in Photoshop). When I use the color picker tool the CMYK codes returned by GIMP are different from the ones returned by the other products.
For example a color returns


C 0 M 68.1 Y 76.9 K 6.7 in GIMP
C 2 M 76    Y 81   K 0    in Adobe

Why is this happening?
Note (in printing the Adobe colors look correct)

Thank you!

  Adding Palettes
Posted by: Shaho - 02-02-2023, 06:33 PM - Forum: General questions - Replies (3)

Question...is there any way to add a complete palette to the Gimp Palette? Have been making new palettes by adding one color at a time to create palettes. Was wondering if there is a way to take the group of colors shown in the screenshot, and add them all at once to make a new palette, or do I have to use color pciker and add them 1 at a time? Thanks for any help.

  Gimp Filter: Adjust images for a slideshow more automatically?
Posted by: Clemens Ratte-Polle - 02-02-2023, 03:51 AM - Forum: General questions - Replies (6)

How to adjust images for a slideshow easily?

Hi.
I want to make a gif-slideshow or video from photos taken manually "free hand" of the same place daily: building a house.

1.Do you know Gimp addons which would help?

2. Special wish for a plugin: Adjusting by setting "alignment pixel points"?
These images must be adjusted very exactly not to get a shaky effect in the slideshow, maybe in a faster animation effect.
First all images must be centered to an exact to be clicked middle point fixed on the first image.
Second all images must then be rotated and stretched a little because taken by shaky hand and slightly different distances and angles.
So i think a special addon could center and rotate photos by giving manually 2 points of orientation which the user must set on each photo: Two same pixels on 2 objects on each photo.
E.g. on a photo of a house it would be 1. the doorknob and 2. the window handle.

The measure tool to straighten images is not exactly enough i think.
And i would temporary ignore the needed third adjustment of correcting the "falling lines" which would need a third pixel in another direction. 

I hope you understand it. Smile 
thx

  Terminology or else
Posted by: Ofnuts - 02-01-2023, 12:02 AM - Forum: Watercooler - Replies (6)

I am writing a script that can work either on vertical or horizontal objects. I need words/expression that refer to

* left/right when working horizontally, and top/bottom when working vertically (begin and end of the "main" direction)
* top/bottom when working horizontally, and left/right when working vertically (begin and end of the "transverse" direction)

Because if I have a single UI, I can't change this dynamically in the input dialog when the user changes the orientation choice.

An alternative is to have two menu entries, one for each orientation, leading to two dialogs and have each dialog use the relevant usual terms.

€0.01 for you thoughts.

  Colors in GIMP Viewport Are More Vibrant Than Actual Image
Posted by: Lucky13guy - 01-31-2023, 07:09 PM - Forum: General questions - Replies (3)

Hey Guys and Gals,

First time post. Please forgive me if this has been discussed before, but I honestly had no idea what to search for in regards to my issue.

Anyway, I've been using GIMP for about 9 months now, and recently I noticed that my images appear to be much more vibrant or saturated in the GIMP viewport than they do when viewed outside of GIMP. This includes images that have never been opened in GIMP previously. It makes photo editing a little difficult, since what you see isn't going to be equal to what you get.

I doubt it has anything to do with my system, but just in case, I've listed some basic specs of what I'm running below.

GIMP Version: 2.10.32 (Revision 1)
Operating System: Windows 11 (64-bit)
CPU: AMD Ryzen 5900HS
GPU: NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3080 Laptop GPU

Has anyone else experienced this? If so, is there some way to fix it so the color saturation matches inside and outside GIMP?

Thanks in advance!
Lucky13guy
