  Steam start to be dangerous!
Posted by: PixLab - 10-05-2023, 06:03 AM - Forum: Watercooler - No Replies

If you have Steam on Linux, you can think that games made for the Microsoft's Windows won't work on Linux if they don't have the Steam icon, at least that's what I thought...
Then I came by this website > https://www.protondb.com where people gave their experience and trial on how to make a Windows specific game works on Linux choosing in Steam which Proton to use.

Long time ago I was addicted to a game called "Defense Grid: The Awakening" when I was on macOSX (not via the steam platform, though), and I always saw that it was only for Windows on Steam (no Steam icon).
On protondb.com a guy on Ubuntu set Steam to use proton 4.2 and said it was working like a charm, thus I get it a try and bought that game (Steam give you back the money if you ask them and explaining why).

Jeezzzz. what did I do?!?! My addiction to this game get back Big Grin , and yes it's working like a charm setting Steam to use proton 4.2 for this game.

Now knowing this website (protondb), I'm scared to search a game for the Microsoft's Windows OS, cause now I'm almost sure someone found out a solution to make it work on Linux Blush Big Grin

  How do I get this grainy scanned text effect?
Posted by: PSoverrated - 10-04-2023, 06:19 AM - Forum: General questions - Replies (2)

Like in the picture attached. For the text it seems to look a bit smudged with some shadow and blur but not sure how this was done.

  is possible to change several BMP file indexed colors into ONE?
Posted by: ldd2 - 10-03-2023, 12:16 PM - Forum: General questions - Replies (2)

Greetings guys.

I have several .BMP files that share the same color palette.

I'd like to change several of the indexed colors from each file to have the same

https://imgur.com/G14K0iL

So, for example, file1 has like 3 rows of indexed colors and all of them would like to be changed into one single indexed color (like pink). This could save me a lot of time changing each one of these files instead of clicking one index after another.

I'd appreciate the help if possible

  Scaling Image Quality
Posted by: zeuspaul - 10-01-2023, 07:37 AM - Forum: General questions - Replies (1)

If I scale an image I know I will lose some quality.  Assume I scale an image to 3x.  I find that I over scaled it and then rescale to 2x the original size.  What does Gimp use for the basis of the intermediate scale?  Is it scaling down from the lossy 3x image?  Or does it have the original image in memory and thus scaling 2x from the original image resulting in a better quality scaled image?

Hi,
Please help, I can't follow some of the instructions in the user's manual. For example, You can add Brush-Pattern-Gradient icons and Active Image icon through Edit → Preferences → Toolbox

I can't find Preferences when I click on Edit on my MacOS Sonoma 14.0.  Please see the attachment.


Thanks very much for any help!
