  How to remove imprint of a circle when moving it
Posted by: bigmanaw - 02-27-2023, 10:39 AM - Forum: General questions - Replies (5)

Been using Gimp for about a week now but cant seem to find an answer for this. Im trying to put three same size circles on a page but when i move them it always leaves a faint border behind and i cant seem to remove it. I float the image to allow me to move it and then anchor down so i assume im doing this bit right but the imprint is left behind. Picture attached.

  Changing the text data in a pre-loaded template
Posted by: Heratbreaksoup - 02-27-2023, 02:32 AM - Forum: General questions - Replies (3)

Good evening and thanks for reading a newbie question, and it's probably extremely basic and obvious.

I've downloaded Gimp 2.10.32 because I would like to make my own Blu-ray covers for my collection using a fan template of The Criterion Collection sleeves.  Over the last three weeks, I've slowly been learning about layers and changing the direction of text boxes.  I know that Rome wasn't built in a day.  Smile

But I'm stumped in how to change the pre-loaded data within the template.  This template is pre-loaded with some basic, junk numbers for the back cover information:

2015
75 MINUTES
COLOR
MONAURAL
2:35:1 ASPECT RATIO

These figures seem to come from the "name" / "layer attributes."  When I right-click on the layer that contains this information, I get an option that says "Edit layer attributes."  This gives me a pop-up box where I can change the layer name.  The name of this layer is: 

2015 75 MINUTES COLOR MONAURAL 2.35:1 ASPECT RATIO

But whatever changes I make to that name just change the name of the layer, not the text that appears in the image.  How can I make changes to those figures so that the text of the image reads what I'd like it to?

Thanks in advance.

  Upgrade GIMP 2.10.34 on Ubuntu 20.04.5
Posted by: PixLab - 02-27-2023, 12:41 AM - Forum: Installation and usage - Replies (5)

Updated today via the software updater on *buntu 20.04.5 to GIMP 2.10.34, I have the PPA Panda Jim (ubuntuhandbook1) and got a tiny problem when starting GIMP just after upgrade.
It says that my GEGL is too old and GIMP refuses to start.

I solved it by opening right away Synaptic package manager, searched for GEGL, selected libgegl and marked it to upgrade,
> synaptic immediately proposed me to upgrade more packages related to gegl,
> yeah, sure I agree
> Apply button for all,
once upgrade was done > GIMP started nicely  Cool

Just sharing in case you got the same tiny problem.

Also first thing I tried first is the text color that flatpaker have problem with, Not problem detected on my side with this PPA  Big Grin (yet)

I'm interested in colorization of old photos. Sometimes I encounter a problem with cobbled roads/streets. For example this photo taken in 1930s. How to automatically colorize it without laborius selecting some stones and makinh them reddish and others bluish? Like in this color photo? https://www.dreamstime.com/ancient-windi...e103076500

Photo How do you increase an images resolution?
Posted by: Power Grown - 02-25-2023, 10:16 PM - Forum: General questions - Replies (6)

I need to increase the resolution of my company logo so when I print it on my product labels and instructions it will be more clear. The image is a small picture and I like to enlarge it for the instructions but it becomes fuzzy when I do. Can someone fix it for me and then tell me how to do it so I will know in the future?

  Venetian blind effect
Posted by: karlkane - 02-24-2023, 10:47 AM - Forum: General questions - Replies (15)

HI everyone,

I am both new to this forum, and new to gimp/photo shop, and am in a bit of a pickle.
I have been asked to edit a couple of pictures in a particular way which has me kind of lost. Essentially I have been asked to serrate the image into vertical strips or columns of a particular pixel width.
There are two pics, L1 and R1. These are to be cut into vertical strips (say 100 strips but this will change) and laid out left pic strip 1, then right picture strip 1, then left picture strip 2, right picture strip 2, L3 then R3, L4 then R4 etc etc. Like a vertical blind.

However, a gap (or black strip - B) of a particular pixel width between each strip is also necessary. So it will run L1 then B then R1, L2 then B then R2, L3 then B then R3 etc etc. 

Apologies if this turns out to be a very simple or idiotic question, but I am very new to this. Steep learning curve I expect.

Something akin to the image below, with the white stripes being replaced with black stripes.

  Remove background with image of the Background
Posted by: Guppy - 02-23-2023, 05:39 PM - Forum: General questions - Replies (2)

Hey everyone! 
I have 2 Screenshots from a game. One is a textured Background. The other is a screenshot of a bear in front of the same background. Now I want to remove the background from the bear-image, so that only the bear remains with a transparent background. So to say, every pixel that is the same in both images should be deleted, but the differences (the bear) should stay. I don't know if the background is exactly the same, so a little bit of Variation might be required. 

Is this possible with Gimp? If yes, how can I do it? 

I already found the "substract" option in layers. This creates a black background, with the bear silhouette visible. but "inside" the bear I can see the textures of the background, not the bear itself.  I want the bear in its original form and the background transprent instead of black. 

Thank you for all your answers!

  Text Effect
Posted by: meetdilip - 02-22-2023, 11:00 PM - Forum: General questions - Replies (4)

Too many screenshots for here, so a combined one: https://i.imgur.com/ei7191w.jpg
(1) Is the text formed in a background image Uses the text layer to make a layer mask.
(2) Is a flat outline layer Uses the text path to stroke a new layer
(3) Is the outline layer with a bumpmap applied
(4) The bumpmap used. Comes from the outline and blurred.

Hi,

Step 1:


Not sure how to do it. I selected the text, then moved to background image layer and " Add a layer mask "


I am able to do step 2. I selected the text, used shrink = 4px

3. I am not sure what info to pass on for the bump map. I tried Filters > Map > Bumpmap

But none of the sliders is causing any effect on the golden outline layer.

Exclamation Random issues occurring
Posted by: TheUser - 02-22-2023, 08:43 PM - Forum: General questions - Replies (4)

Hello, this is my first time posting here so sorry if i didn't post this in the right place, but i am having 2 different issues that seem to occur randomly.
1: This only started happening today, but the gradient tool doesn't let me place a point and drag a second to another spot. Is this something i accidentally changed, or is this an issue? I don't remember changing anything related to it.
2: When typing in a text-box, the font selector does not do anything. Yes, i have selected all text in the text box, and i have re-opened gimp many times and it keeps happening. On random days it will decide to work but the next time i go to use gimp the font selector stops working again.

Any help with these issues is much appreciated, thank you all in advance.

  BIMP Not installing
Posted by: Taggs - 02-22-2023, 01:48 PM - Forum: Extending the GIMP - Replies (4)

I've moved my GIMP 2.10.32 installation from my C drive to D drive due to space issues.  Since then I can't get the BIMP add-on to work.

I've run the installer from here (I'm running Windows 10 64bit) but the option does not appear on the file menu.  I've checked my add-on folder location and it is pointing to the correct place.

Any help to get this working would be much appreciated, as I use the add-on regularly and it saves me a lot time.

Many thanks
