  Gimp Custom Fonts
Posted by: rich2005 - 03-14-2024, 01:02 PM - Forum: Extending the GIMP - Replies (4)

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

The history,  Gimp custom fonts started here:  PhotoFont http://gimpchat.com/viewtopic.php?f=15&t=14040 included for historical purposes, have a quick look and go straight to;
Custom Font script http://gimpchat.com/viewtopic.php?f=9&t=14045&start=0
There are some ready-made .xcf custom font files there for download.

Most of the ready-made font files were posted on the gimplearn forum which is gone. They are being gradually re-posted see:
Custom Fonts for 2024  http://gimpchat.com/viewtopic.php?f=12&t=20703
Custom Fonts for 2023 http://gimpchat.com/viewtopic.php?f=12&t=20295
Custom Fonts from GimpLearn 2020 http://gimpchat.com/viewtopic.php?f=12&t=20664&start=0
Custom Fonts from GimpLearn 2019  http://gimpchat.com/viewtopic.php?f=12&t=20396

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.

Question Contour light
Posted by: kikateadrunker - 03-11-2024, 08:13 AM - Forum: General questions - Replies (8)

Всем привет!

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.

  Layer Scaling
Posted by: RickM - 03-11-2024, 05:14 AM - Forum: General questions - Replies (4)

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?

  Paste images using coordinates
Posted by: rinaldop - 03-10-2024, 09:32 PM - Forum: General questions - Replies (6)

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?

Thanks

  I Have A Custom Ubuntu 24.04 That Runs With AppImages
Posted by: Tas_mania - 03-09-2024, 11:49 PM - Forum: Alternate Gimp packagings - Replies (5)

Not so hard to do Smile
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.

  Replacing background procedure questions
Posted by: Danbor - 03-08-2024, 07:50 PM - Forum: General questions - Replies (6)

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!

  Aide prélèvement de zone GIMP
Posted by: timoufti - 03-08-2024, 03:58 PM - Forum: General questions - Replies (9)

Bonjour à toutes et tous,

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 Sad


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 Smile

Merci de m’avoir lu et merci par avance pour vos retours !

A++

  Need to paste an image onto an unorthadox shaped template
Posted by: mikey boy - 03-08-2024, 01:00 PM - Forum: General questions - Replies (1)

Hi Guys & Gals,

I am struggling to figure out how to do something and can't seem to find the appropriate tutorial.

I have a template for a playing card box and i want to paste an image onto the shape of the box (imagine a card box unfolded out - its not got a shape i can refer to).

Is there a tutorial anyone can recommend, i know i can add layer masks, but its the shape of the template that throws me once these are added. I need the excess of the image removed, leaving just the shape of the template, ready for it to go to print.

Any help would be appreciated as it is for a gift.

I have added the template i am using in svg format.


I figured it out, select area and paste into selection.

  Changing saturation levels in green channel
Posted by: Coralie - 03-08-2024, 04:48 AM - Forum: General questions - Replies (3)

Hi everyone,
I am a new user of GIMP.
As you can see in the attached picture, I am trying to remove the overpowering green lines by changing the level of saturation for the green channel only.
When I try this using the Hue-saturation window and selecting the green channel, it work but also applies it to the red and blue so I lose the information from the other channels.
I need to modify the red also, but I have no idea how to achieve this.
Any suggestions on this would be much appreciated.
Coralie
