Windows 7 64 bit
16 GB memory
Gimp 2.10.36
560 MB TIF file
When working with Selecting in a 560 MB TIF file, Gimp became unresponsive.
After bouncing around with Fuzzy and Invert, I think I was using By Color when Gimp got fed up.
It did recognize a mouse click on the "x" to exit, though.
When Selecting in the 500 MB image, memory usage went to about 7.5 GB, not all Gimp.
But I didn't catch Task Manager's display when Gimp fizzled.
Is there some way I can gather info to identify the cause?
I have learned a LOT by experimenting and watching tutorials but my next problem maybe impossible to solve with an automated tool. I am trying to remove the background of the following 2 images leaving only the dials and the numbers on the outer ring and also remove the center hole.
I tried an auto background tool, change color by selection, changing chroma, but too much gets removed. Unless the experts here can help my last option is to use the free selection tool to remove the background by hand.
An old topic that IMHO is worth a review. Gimp Custom Fonts. These are not true fonts such as something.ttf or something.otf, they are graphics, assembled from a Gimp .xcf file using a utility script. Unlike regular fonts, as all bitmaps, they can suffer with extremes of scaling.
Two scripts attached, unzip for
(1) custom_font.scm This will make a stand-alone banner with transparency. Add it to your project.
(2) custom_font_on_path.py Creates the graphic text along a path in your project.
They both register in Filters -> Custom Fonts
Many of the custom fonts on GimpChat are large files and have been split into separate .7z (7-zip) archives.
A utility (there are others) for unpacking 7-zip is peazip https://peazip.github.io/ and there is a python plugin for combining the resulting partial .xcf files into one. See: The GimpChat posts.
Хочу спросить: Можно ли рисовать контурный свет так, чтобы цвет персонажа не менялся, я менялся цвет самого контура? Потому что у меня получается только так как на картинке.
Hello, everyone!
I have a question: Is it possible to draw contour light so that the color of the character does not change, but the color of the contour itself changes? Because I can only do it as in the picture.
I am trying to use GIMP to do some mock-ups for jewelry. I have all of the components scaled correctly in their own projects, and set the DPI to match in all of them but when I try to open them as layers, the relative scaling is all out of whack (shown in the second screen shot). I can do it manually using grids and rulers. but I would like a way to do it automatically on import, so that all of the pieces are ready for arrangement and I can be sure that their relative scales are all correct.
Is there a way to do this, or am I stuck eye-balling it?
I would like to be able to paste images using coordinates. I know about Paste in place but I want to take a new image and then paste in an image at an exact x,y place. I did some research and found this. Back in 2015 someone on a website called superuser.com said
"I'm afraid that Gimp doesn't include it because it is tedious."
Is this true? I think that I can do it with adding a new layer and using canvas but is there an easier way?
Not so hard to do
I Removed all of Ubuntu advantage, Ubuntu Pro, snaps, snap.d and Apparmor as well as the gnome updater. (which is broken and uses snaps)
Now I update with 'sudo apt-get upgrade'
I like this up to date system. Just a reminder that Snaps are AppImages and a lot of our data is collected and often lost by software companies.
I trust AppImages from reputable sources more than I trust some faceless company that wants my data.
Hello everyone.
I recently purchased a book on restoring old photos with Gimp. Good book, learning a lot.
However, I've ran into some questions trying to follow the outlined procedure for replacing the background of an image. Yes, I know there are other ways to get the job done. However, getting the job done isn't the point of the exercise. Learning the software is. And to do that, I need to process more input to fix in my mind just what each step is doing.
If anyone is interested in tackling the questions I have, there is a .txt file attached outlining the procedure with my questions inserted after the puzzling steps.
Thanks in advance!
J’aurais besoin d’un peu d’aide si toutefois cela est possible, car je ne trouve pas et n’arrive pas à faire ce que je veux sur GIMP.
Je voudrais appliquer la texture, ton, couleur, saturation d’une zone de mon image sur une autre zone de celle-ci, mais après multiples tentatives je n’arrive pas au résultat escompté
Je m’adresse donc à vous, car je ne pratique pas vraiment ce logiciel et malgré avoir regardé plusieurs tutos je sèche...
Je vous joins une capture vous indiquant la zone à prélever et la zone où je voudrais que se soit appliqué. (flèche bleu zone à prélever, flèche noir zone à appliquer)
Je ne sais pas si cela est possible, mais si parmi vous quelqu’un à une solution je suis preneur, sinon j’abandonnerais cette idée
Merci de m’avoir lu et merci par avance pour vos retours !
