I startd with a 200px x 200px canvas to try something out.
All of a sudden the canvas is over 2000 square. When I typed the numbers in for the first 200 it went down to 199.x so the other did the same. Not sure why.
I am trying out a recursive transform on something - Why has the canvas gone almost 10 times the size?
Just noticed it is showing mm at the bottom. could that be it?

Have fun with this silly filter that is glossy and balloonish. You are expected to rasterize text then apply this filter.

https://github.com/LinuxBeaver/GEGL-Effe...using-GEGL

This is a full layer Effects engine that rivals Adobe CC in text styling. It ships with two bonus filters called "bevel" and "inner glow" that are useful as stand alone.

Users are expected to apply GEGL Effects to raster copies of the text layers.










The user must install the binaries (inner glow, bevel and layereffects) for this to work.  All included in the "release section".

OS specific location to put GEGL Filter binaries

Enjoy!

https://github.com/LinuxBeaver/GEGL-Custom-Bevel/

Custom Bevel is a new filter that can do all sorts of unique bevel and bump text effects. Six blending options for the bevel exist -- "multiply, hardlight, colordodge, plus, darken, lighten. This is NOT the same as the final/master blend mode that uses Gimp blend modes for every GEGL filter. What Custom Bevel does is changes the blend mode of the emboss filter to one of six blend modes. This can create all kinds of interesting results.

This filter can also change the internal median shape (which doesn't do much) and choose between an internal box blur and gaussian blur which will radically change the way the bevel looks.

Check out what you can do with it and Enjoy !

Using ofn-gradient-along-path on a particular RGB image takes about 30 minutes.  Using it on the same image converted to Greyscale takes about 90 minutes.  I would like to figure out a way to speed up the script.
Is there a way to profile the script and find out what calls are taking the most time?
Perhaps the image or aspects of it are being converted back and forth between RGB and Greyscale.  Is there some sort of specific Greyscale library or functions which can avoid thrashing like that?
Any suggestions on how I might be able to approach this problem?

Hi Guys
I'm desperate for some help for what should be a simple operation. I'm creating a cover for a book with Amazon KDP. I've done this before with GIMP 2.8, but now have 2.10. When I try to insert the image I want into the book cover template it appears very small and I can't change it to fit the template. I've tried everything. I open the template in GIMP then open the image as well. I've tried copy and paste with the image, but a tiny image appears and I can't drag it to fit the template area required. I'm obviously missing something obvious. I'd be so grateful for any help.

Many thanks

Jude

Hello 

I'm just an idiot - please help me

Does someone know of a tutorial to explain how I would add 'depth' to a flat image?
In this image below, you can see the shadowing.

I can create a rectangle, and add a wave effect, which will look like a flag, but there's no depth internally


Thanks!!

First off I can not change the font! I have attached a screen shot to describe the problem

So any advice please?

Thanks

I thought it would be nice to have it to "help" people seeing things in the stack, so I made few tries and got some strange behaviors.

First, one the try did not like much the Ctrl+F after adjusting a node, GIMP got in a loop, until I needed to kill it

Then at one point from an image of 1920x1080 pixels, I got an image... take a seat... attach your seatbelt... of a whopping 11 GB new image with 33 217x 23 434 pixels and completely deformed

Before:
   

After:
   

I did save the XCF to keep the last path when I saw this huge image, if you want to try, it's reproducible every time.

I don't know if it's a good file transfer website, I was surprised that G-F accept only 1MB as files, thus searching something quick (file is 1.8MB)
