  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!

  pdf export cutting off rhs of layer(s)
Posted by: gary - 02-18-2024, 01:59 AM - Forum: General questions - Replies (1)

Hi
I'm using GIMP 2.10.36 on win 10. In the past I've exported pdf files OK, but the file I'm working on at the moment the rhs of the layer(s) is truncated, or, rather, seems to be covered over by a rectangle of background colour - the overall width of the document seems to be about what I expected.
Any idea what could be happening here?

Gary
I've investigated a bit and it seems that the layers are not truncated but there is something in the generated file that prevents Microsoft Edge -- my pdf reader -- from rendering the file correctly. It first reports that there is a problem with the file, and doesn't open it. It is when I try to load the file into edge a second time that it appears to have the rhs of the document 'truncated!. However, I've tried to open the file with irfanview and there it does load OK, but of course irfanview is not a good option for viewing pdf files. So I would like to know what gimp is putting (or not putting) into the file that renders it incompatible with MS edge.

I have generated pdfs from gimp before which do not exhibit this problem, and as far as I can think I've produced this one in the same way.
Any suggestions welcome as I spent quite a bit of time producing these files and have several more to do, and I really don't want this happening.

Question From '/' (search actions) to menus
Posted by: Krikor - 02-16-2024, 04:56 PM - Forum: General questions - Replies (9)

Hey guys,

Is it possible to make some filters, found via the '/' or '?' key, to be accessed via menus?

Many times, especially after a long time without using certain filters, I simply forget their name, and when I have to
editing something that requires these filters I only find them if I have their name written down somewhere.

When the forgotten filter is one found in a menu, even without remembering its name I recognize it after browsing the menus looking for "something familiar".

However, via the '/' (or '?') key the difficulty is greater. I know what I want from the filter but how can I type it without remembering its name?

I tried typing * (asterisk) in the 'Search Actions' search prompt (/), but the environment is not friendly at all.

Filters like Small Tilles and Blinds are among the ones I always forget the name of. But I think these are of type .exe and not .py or .scm.

Anyway, is it possible to access these filters - Small tilles and Blinds via menus?

If yes how?

Grateful!
