I use a few different forums and notice they are set-up into 2 main types. On a forum like Gimp Chat any post or comment on a post goes to the top of the landing page. On Gimp-Forum the landing page shows a list of sections and sub-forums and the most recent sub-forum activity goes to the top of that sub-form. 

I think forum design affects users and their behavior. On 'the most recent first' forums people are encouraged to form alliances in order to promote content. At times it looks like promoting content is more important that the content itself. Recently the landing page was mostly posts by one author.
On the 'list of sections' forums people can ignore sub-forums they are not interested in. Having one author appear in every sub-forum would appear ridiculous.
So I think Gimp-Forum is the better design even if it does not appear so frantic most of the time

I've got a whole document that looks like this; the text is faded, and there's this pale gray… CLOUD... around it. Anything I do to try to fade or remove the cloud makes the text worse; the light areas of text are just too close to the color of the cloud. Darkening the text also darkens the cloud for the same reason. There's got to be a way, though, right…?

Hi
Absolutely new to gimp.
0% experience, never used, mot even installed.
Want to use it if one thing is possible.

Is it possible to deform, distort, wrap, do not know right word a photo, usually rectangular shape, but lets say any shape, to a different shape, in this case I would like an ellipse, so the entire photo is deformed, something like stretching a rubber?

So in short any shape photo transform to any other shape deforming the whole photo, not short enough, sorry.

Thank you

Here comes ofn-path-to-cylinder, hopefully a faster and easier way to map a path (text/logo) over a cylinder.

   

This is the same as content found on the page https://github.com/LinuxBeaver/

It is the source code to over thirty GEGL Plugins I have made.  I recommend going to Github to get them but having all the code in one place is also a good idea. 

Instruction here to compile for both Linux and Windows.

How do I avoid having a line where I combined 2 scanned photos?
LynneR

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".

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 !
