  Batch export png to svg
Posted by: gimpygirl - 02-23-2024, 07:25 PM - Forum: General questions - Replies (8)

Is it possible to batch export png files (with transparent background) to pixel perfect svg files (a whole folder)? How to do this in gimp?


Example files: the exported png files from this

PS: I don't know if gimp supports SVG. If not, what open source/free program would you recommend to do this on windows?

  Bold not working anymore.
Posted by: kar0606 - 02-23-2024, 02:11 PM - Forum: General questions - Replies (4)

I've been working on a comic and for the text I would sometimes bold key words in the dialogue but now the bold feature just isn't working. I've been using the same font since I started and it used to bold but now it doesn't so I think it was an update that messed something up for it. I'm on gimp 2.10.36 and I tried going back to 2.10.0 but that still didn't fix it so I think I'd need to try 2.9 or something even older so if anyone knows where I can download that I'd appreciate that. Also if there's any way for me to fix it in this specific version I'd like to know that too. I read something about faux-bold which doesn't require the font to have a bold version but I don't know if that's a feature but if it is I'd like to know where to enable it. Thanks.

  Apply alpha values from one image to another?
Posted by: ottenm - 02-22-2024, 06:28 PM - Forum: General questions - Replies (3)

I have two identically-sized .png's that both contain (only) a large, solid circle.

In one image the circle has a few pixels around the perimeter that fade to transparent (barely noticeable at first, and gradually fading more until the last pixels at the very edge of the circle are almost completely transparent). 

The other image contains only completely solid pixels (within the circle), and completely empty pixels (outside the perimeter).

Is there a way to apply (just) the alpha values from the first image, to the second one? (so the second one also fades gradually to transparent around the perimeter)

Thanks for any help!

  Cut squares from iamge
Posted by: gimpygirl - 02-21-2024, 07:15 PM - Forum: General questions - Replies (16)

Hi

Is there a way in GIMP or a plugin, script, ... to extract all the black squares from this image automatically to separate PNG files?
So I need a folder that has all squares (no matter if the square is empty or not) saved as 1.png, 2.png, 3.png, ... from this image
I need step by step instructions because I'm a beginner

My GIMP file is here:

https://www.mediafire.com/view/zh9zdytld...t.xcf/file

Image preview:

https://ibb.co/SvBJGfb

Why can't we attach a file here on the forum (file is under 100kb in zip file)?

The requested resource does not allow request data with POST requests, or the amount of data provided in the request exceeds the capacity limit.

  Merge layers and crop
Posted by: zeuspaul - 02-20-2024, 11:46 PM - Forum: General questions - No Replies

I don't know what setting I changed.  Now when I merge visible layers some of which extend beyond the canvas size Gimp crops the image to the canvas size.  I don't want to crop.  

Thoughts? Suggestions?

Windows 10, Gimp 2.10.34



I found the solution!  Somehow in the merge layer box clip to image got checked.  I changed it back to expand as necessary and all is well.

  When C is decomposed it is diffrent from the color picker
Posted by: jarj - 02-20-2024, 12:39 PM - Forum: General questions - Replies (4)

Version: GIMP 2.10.36

   

I have a simple image      2x2 RGB(54,58,83) and the color picker converts this to CIE LCH
L = 24.9% C =  16.2% H =  282.3°


if I do Colors → Components → Decompose [uncheck 'Decompose to layers' ] and look at the L C H images the RGB% are: 
L = 24.7% C = 8.2% H = 78.4% (78.4 * 3.6 = 282.24°)



L and H are pretty close, however C is 50% out - What am I doing wrong or misunderstanding or is this a bug?


and help or workaround much appreciated

  How to export as PNG with 16 bit depth?
Posted by: derpybookshelf - 02-20-2024, 11:00 AM - Forum: General questions - Replies (7)

I need to export a PNG with 16 bit depth of the final image. The lowest I can get is 24 bit depth when exporting with 8bpc depth. I somehow managed to export a 16 bit PNG earlier but I can't remember how I did this. I've tried looking for an answer online but couldn't find one. I am using greyscale image mode with 16bit integer precision. Does anyone know how to export in 16 bit depth - maybe some kind of plugin is needed?

Question BUMP map question
Posted by: fizzr - 02-19-2024, 11:34 PM - Forum: General questions - Replies (5)

Hey, I am brand new to using GIMP.

I'm following a tutorial from the gimp website on how to make a fake 3d text image, and i'm getting stuck at the bump mapping. it is not "mapping" to allow me to see my text as 3d. 

I think i'm applying it to the correct layer  Dodgy

Thanks!

  How to set line thickness to 0.001"?
Posted by: stickMan - 02-18-2024, 07:57 PM - Forum: General questions - Replies (1)

I'm using a laser engraver that can cut a variety of material. When using Adobe Illustrator, "cutting mode" happens when line thickness is set to 0.001" (one thousandths of an inch). Can GIMP set line thickness to 0.001"?

Vielen Dank!
