  Maximum File Size?
Posted by: Punchcard - 02-19-2023, 08:39 PM - Forum: General questions - Replies (3)

Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit
Gimp 2.10.32
Computer memory 6 GB
pagefile.sys size 10,485,760,000 bytes

What is the maximum file size GIMP can handle?

I tried to load a TIFF file, size 4,291,384,074 bytes
GIMP did not crash, but it failed to handle the file
The attachments show what happened.

  Remove Lama Cleaner
Posted by: meetdilip - 02-19-2023, 03:59 AM - Forum: Other graphics software - Replies (15)

Hi, I installed Lama Cleaner using these commands in Ubuntu 22.04

Code:
pip install lama-cleaner

Code:
lama-cleaner --model=lama --device=cpu --port=8080

It took a lot of space than I imagined ( around 4GB, I guess ) and it is not waiting till I draw the mask completely. The result was not very satisfactory for me either. So I tried to save some space by removing it using

Code:
pip uninstall lama-cleaner


The command was executed immediately, but I see that the space is still gone. I tried to remove the cache using Bleachbit as root, but only 320 MB was removed.

Any chance I can completely remove Lama Cleaner and win back the space?

Thanks.

  scaled image smaller, lost image clarity
Posted by: sedmont - 02-18-2023, 08:29 PM - Forum: General questions - Replies (2)

In Gimp is there a way to scale an image down without losing image clarity?

I have some images in various layers. I flattened them, then scaled the result down from 6.88 inches wide to 6.5 inches wide (with the height also scaling down automatically in proportion).  But the image clarity on screen before scaling down was better than after scaling down. 

Thanks for any assistance.

I think I see how, now. The problem was that when I scaled down, I did so by changing the image size directly, while the resolution (300 ppi) remained the same.  So by reducing the size, i was also reducing the total number of pixels in the image. So instead, I changed the image size by increasing the resolution.  By raising resolution from 300 ppi to 317, the image automatically shrank to 6.511 inches wide (in printing). Because the total number of pixels in the image remained the same, compressing more pixels into an inch, the total size of the image decreases. But you have the same number of pixels, so resolution is not lost.  I think...

Question Convert selection to a row of tiles
Posted by: danboid - 02-18-2023, 04:24 PM - Forum: Extending the GIMP - Replies (12)

I'm writing a game for the open source Uzebox games console. Its tile conversion program expects the input to be one row of 8x8 pixel tiles. Currently, I have to prepare the graphics working by an 8x8 grid and then manually cut the sprites and other graphical resources into individual 8x8 tiles and then manually move each tile into a single horizontal row to keep the tile conversion program happy. Pretty tedious stuff.

This process would be much easier if there was a GIMP plugin to automate most of this process by turning a rectangular GIMP selection into a new image composed of a single horizontal row of (8x8, or whatever the user specifies) tiles.

Does such a plugin already exist?

Thanks!

  exporting from gimp to pdf while preserving full resolution
Posted by: sedmont - 02-17-2023, 02:23 PM - Forum: General questions - Replies (5)

Hi,

How can I know that when I export a gimp image to pdf, that the original gimp resolution is preserved in the pdf?  

I created gimp images measuring 6.88 inches by 10.5 inches at 300 x 300 ppi. 

After I export one of those images to pdf and open the pdf in Adobe Acrobat, and set Adobe to display at 300px/inch, the image on screen visually appears MUCH bigger than 6.88 inches by 10.5 inches.  Maybe 3 times larger on the screen than that. That seems to mean the resolution of the pdf is far down from the resolution of the original gimp image, right? Yet Adobe has a little box at the lower left of the screen saying the image is 6.88 inches by 10.5 inches. 

So has the resolution gone down in the pdf?  

Thanks for any assistance.

Does this work please?

  blending multiple exposures
Posted by: jrickards - 02-17-2023, 01:58 AM - Forum: General questions - Replies (3)

I took multiple photos of my dog Hunter running across the hockey rink. I wanted to create a multiple exposure so I blended them in Gimp using the addition blending option.

It isn't quite what I wanted: he appears rather ghostly and I wanted more of a solid appearance.

Is it possible to do what I want? If so, how?

  How Do I Change a Background Without Cutting Off 'Borderline' Pixels
Posted by: Taylor-eOS - 02-16-2023, 07:54 PM - Forum: General questions - Replies (13)

I searched for this everywhere, but can't seem to find an answer, even though it has to be a common problem.

I have an object surrounded by a background, in this case the white. But the transition between the background and the object isn't entirely clean. As you can see some of the pixels close to the border are a little darker.
If I change the background or select the object, it will either cut the transition pixels off and make the result seem cut out, or have this thin gray border around the object.

So is there a way to take the slightly darker white-ish pixels from the white background and transfer them to the new background, but not as white pixels but what's darker than white onto the new background?

I don't want to cut all the white inside the object, this is just about the cut-out.
