I am using GIMP on Windows if that matters in Single Window Mode.
It looks like I did something, unknown to me, which has caused the tool options to stop being displayed in the frame on the left side of the window. It looks like they now appear in the top of the frame on the right side which, for me, normally displays a histogram. I think the setup I prefer is the standard default (out-of-the-box so to speak.
I'd be grateful if someone could explain how to restore GIMP to its' prior state.
I am new to using plugins and have read about LayerFX, but cannot find where to download for GIMP 3.2. I am using Windows 11. I did locate it as part of PGEI but, as I have no idea what PGEI is, I avoided it. Web searches have only shown me older versions. Thanks for any tips on this.
I'm opening multiple uncompressed TIFF files and exporting them someplace else after editing.
I have to manually select LZW compression from the dropdown every time.
Is it possible to set it as a default, even when exporting an uncompressed file?
Hi! Is anyone here doing comic book coloring in GIMP? I'm doing just fine with flatting, but I wanted to color a comic book page from start to finish. I cant find any decent tutorials on YouTube, but I found this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J_uNnawaBmE
The problem? It's for Photoshop, and I am having difficult time translating this workflow to GIMP. Does anyone here can help?
I'm trying to tint the merged image of the couple in this screenshot to be shades of the main color of the background.
I have the hex code of the background red color (94151a), and with it, the RGB and HSV numbers. I've tried everything I could find under the Colors menu to plug these in to get the color I want, but with no success. The RGB numbers just make the faces look sick. I tried using Sample Points and Curves and tried matching the HSV there, but the result was the same.
The closest I get is when I use Colorize, but I'm just doing it by eye and the results are chancy at best. The cover, front and back, will have four or more images that need to match, and I'd like to do it scientifically if I can.
Am I missing a tool somewhere? Will using the HSV numbers do me better, and if so, where can I try?
I had to do the same thing with the cover of the first book in the series, and somehow managed it. But as I said, it was by sheer dumb luck.
EDIT--- I also want to apply the same sort of "glow" to the background of the red cover that the blue one has, but that'll be a separate question.
I'm new to Gimp, and I was prompted to try it due to Paint no longer working.
Some backstory: I create 1/6 scale dioramas and, as a graphic artist, I create them all digitally, as the size they need to be, and then print them out and glue them to cardboard. For years (10+), I have created the files and then used Paint to print them out. I simply instructed Paint to print the files at 100% and they printed out at the exact size I made them as.
This past March, Microsoft released an update that has rendered this impossible, as a file that usually spans 6 pages now spans almost 40. It makes the file way too large. Adobe programs, despite my printer settings being set to 100% and scale to fit being deactivated, print the entire image on one piece of A4 paper. Acrobat, with its splicing tool, also prints too large and not to the size the images are made in.
I've looked up how to print true to size on Gimp, and while the size and resolution are just what I need them to be in the program, I still cannot get them to print properly. There is no longer an Image Settings tab in the print dialogue box, so I'm unable to adjust anything further in Gimp. All the other settings come directly from my printer settings, which are already set to print at 100%, but the same issue persists - what prints out is not the size I made the file as.
What can I do? I'm desperate... I need to be able to print my hard work in 1:1 scale, true to the size I made them in. I can't believe how difficult such a request is being. (I'd upload photos to show all my settings/issues but the forum isn't letting me... I click Insert Image and it prompts me to put in an optional size, then I click Insert and it does nothing...)
I routinely hit export to instead of export as and end up overwriting my work. I have never needed the ability to overwrite an image directly from gimp, so I'm wondering if there's a way to completely remove/disable that option, maybe an extension or setting?
There is an ERROR: The Label Color Scheme in the Welcome screen does not list the 2 Color Scheme. It lists the 4Color scheme variants, Light Colors, Middle Gray, Dark Colors and System Colors
This Label should be ammended
Add a section for the, missing Color Theme, which will list the 2 Color Themes, Default and System Colors and also update with downloaded and installed color themes that the user adds.
