Hi there, I am working on extending GIMP with AI functions. I ditched Photoshop lately and my pals at the Photo Club keep telling me that I am a fool to have ditched PS with all it's nice AI functions. They shouldn't say that to me...
At this moment I've got AI Remove Background working, using IOPaint that runs locally on my laptop. It still needs some fine tuning, but it works.
Now I am working on 'inpaint' (filling a selection with a generated background). I am struggling now how to make a mask from a selection. The GIMP API has many procedures, but just copying a selection seems not to be easy. Is there anyone who has some experience with this?
P.S. I am new to Gimp Forum, so maybe I missed earlier questions/discussions like this.
Can we expect to see some of your plugins for gimp 3 anytime soon? I know it says on your site that the path plugins were still only for 2.10.
3 must have a plugin folder if it can support GMIC or does it need something else?
I want to use a different font. When I select 'text tool' from the left pane, then the tool options pane for text appears in the right. In the 'Font' field it has a default of 'Sans Serif'. I can start typing with, for example, 'book' and a pull down list of font names is shown. I can click on a name, but the font field is not changed. The text I type does not show the font I want.
Likewise, I can drag a rectangle in the body of the image and small toolbox appears above it. I cannot change the font name here either. Is there a way to do this?
I need help on how to apply to a new layer a 3d transform, mapping it to another layer that has an photo of an object. I want to map the 3d object already present in the older layer and apply my new layer on this perspective, like a stencil painted on a surface
I need something like making a path that matches the corners of the 3d object, and then 3d transform the stencil layer upon the object. Take this for instance: I have a phone case, and the the case will be the 3d surface that I want to map. I have another layer that has numbers on it, on a grid of 5x5, where the first line goes from 1 to 5, the second goes from 6 to 10, and so on. I want to be able to put this grid on the screen of the monitor, and adjust what is shown, move it around (following the guide from the mapped perspective) and apply zoom, like showing the top left corner zoomed in (1, 2, 6 and 7) or the center zoomed out (7, 8, 9, 12, 13, 14, 19, 20 21).
In this attached example I tried my best to guess the image correct transformation, but as you could see they are a little distorted.
Long time ago i created an image on GIMP but it was over 10 years ago (exact date between 2010-11), ever since that time i havent used GIMP once, forgotten all about how to make images and now i want to recreate that original effect.
(tried to insert an image, but it doesnt work for some reason)
Top image is my recreation, bottom is the original effect that im looking for.
As you can see on the original, there is some sort of spiritual/smokey kind of filter that i want to recreate. You can clearly see that violet color isnt flat and there are different shades of it throughout the whole text.
I have no idea how i achieved that in the first place. I was able to recreate the neon effect as it was pretty simple and there was a tutorial for it, but that particular effect im looking for - i have trouble to even accurately describe it.
Another thing is that i have no idea how on the original image the X lines reach B and U. I was looking for the exact font and the best possible match that i could find was Espectro Swash, but i dont know how to recreate that effect.
Its just my educated guess, but i think that the effect im looking for could be some sort of font filter, if something like that exist/existed.
I want to add an eps file (ISBN #) to my gimp document (book cover). I open file>open> choose the eps file >get the dialog box about settings>click import> then I have a dialog box that says gimp cannot interpret post script files. I'm using gimp 2.10.38
Thank you in advance
When I import a pdf image in Gimp, a grid appear even if I don't active the grid view in the toolbar. The grid is still there when I export the pdf from gimp. Do you know how to suppress this grid ?
Thanks for your help
I have just installed GIMP 3.0.8 (64-bit) on three PCs, all of them with Windows 10 (64-bit), v. 22H2, OS Build 19045.6466.
GIMP does not launch on any of the three after double-clicking on its icon. It briefly displays a small blue spinning circle and nothing else happens...
Is there a trick to launching GIMP on PCs that run Windows 10?
Thanks.
