Need help with uneven outline - CHJ85 - 12-02-2018 Hi there. I know there's a way to even an uneven line that varies from i.e 1 to 3 pixels in thickness. Then you can make the line 2 pixels thick. I can't for the life of me remember how I did that. I remember I selected the uneven line(s), then did something to make them even. Not even sure if it was a plugin or a standard Gimp feature. Any idea? Thanks in advance RE: Need help with uneven outline - rich2005 - 12-02-2018 Honestly do not know from your description It could be a one pix line using the paint tool. That will introduce anti-aliasing into adjacent pixels. Can be removed using the threshold tool - colours menu - but... really need more information. RE: Need help with uneven outline - CHJ85 - 12-02-2018 Thank you, but I know it wasn't that. I remember I used to do this with lineart vector sketch drawings where the lines varied between 10 pixels per line. I used a tool to smoothen the line to have the same pixel thickness. Sorry I'm horrible at explaining. RE: Need help with uneven outline - Espermaschine - 12-02-2018 there is no vector sketching in Gimp sounds a bit like Power Stroke in Inkscape or the Width Tool in Illustrator, or just basic pressure sensitive drawing, but once you export as a bitmap you cant change that anymore you could possibly make a line thinner by applying the Dilate filter (thats under Generic in 2.10) several times, but the result is not very nice RE: Need help with uneven outline - Ofnuts - 12-02-2018 Perhaps: - Select the line (Color select) - Select>To path - Select>from path - Bucket-fill on new layer RE: Need help with uneven outline - CHJ85 - 12-02-2018 @Espermachine Thanks, but I never said Gimp does vector. And I don't draw vector, so I haven't really used Inkscape, but I'll look into it. And the Dilate filter doesn't even out the line. Only makes it thinner, like you said. I am quite aware of that tool though. @Ofnuts I'll try that. Thank you! Not quite what I was looking for, but at least I can use it to make a line even and then use Dilate to thin it out.

RE: Need help with uneven outline - CHJ85 - 12-03-2018 @Espermaschine Right. But you misunderstood me. I used to edit victor pics (.eps and .ai files) in Gimp. Never said I did vector in Gimp. RE: Need help with uneven outline - CHJ85 - 12-04-2018 Any idea, guys? RE: Need help with uneven outline - CHJ85 - 01-20-2019 Does anyone have a clue? It's very annoying I can't remember how I did this. And I cannot believe it's this complicated. You would think it's a pretty common thing a lot of people need to straighten up uneven lines. When I google, people suggest all sorts of nonsense like using the blur tool, then sharpen and then ink it with Cartoon afterwards. For starters, that doesn't give a good result and might even mess the sketch up even more. Secondly, the way I used to do this was way simpler. The way I used to do it I believe was a 3rd party plugin. It would calculate the pixel difference. So for instance if the uneven lines differed between 1 and 5 px, it would convert it into a 3 pxs. |
