Bonjour,

Je suis bloqué sur un problème de réflexion de flash sur l'insecte que j'ai pris en photo de nuit. Y'a t il un moyen d'adoucir ce reflet ?

J'ai essayer avec l'outil sélection sans pour autant réussir à ne sélectionner uniquement la partie souhaiter. 

Les tutos que j'ai pu chercher ne donne pas la marche à suivre spécifique pour mon problème 

Le premier screenshot vous montre la photo retouché avec les connaissances que j'ai (je n'ai pas pu faire mieux) et le second screenshot montre la photo originale.

J'utilise la version 3.2.4 de GIMP sous windows 10.

Merci pour votre aide

Hello,

I'm stuck on a problem with a flash reflection on the insect I photographed at night. Is there a way to soften this reflection?

I tried using the selection tool but wasn't able to select just the part I wanted. 

The tutorials I’ve found don’t provide specific instructions for my problem.

The first screenshot shows the photo I’ve edited using what I know (I couldn’t do any better), and the second screenshot shows the original photo.

I’m using GIMP version 3.2.4 on Windows 10.

Thank you for your help

   

   

hello and good day dear friends, 


i am currently workin on a step-by-step process on how to make typical changes—such as adjusting the color tone, and getting to know 
how to create certain patterns: see an example. 


   



Shown in the image is a circle with hatching. How can one create such a pattern—how do you achieve that? How would you go about this—using which graphic tools?


hmm - how to achive this - what are your ideas, ways and methods to create such patterns?

look forward to hear from you

greetings

good day 

i am currently musing bout ways methods and procedures to recolor a image - ideas & tipps n tricks

   

btw: can you give me some more general design recommendations for an image—such as alternative color palettes, or lets say some modern layout trends, tips for better readability, or suggestions on how to enhance it (e.g., with a subtle pattern, a gradient, or an abstract illustration).

As much as I enjoy using the Gimp program; version 3.2.4, Windows PC – it has some very strange situations built in that I have never experienced when using other graphics editors.

The first one, I am unsure of how to describe. When creating layers containing fonts – Gimp often assigns them and creates new locked font layers that even affect surrounding (above and below) layers within the image? Gimp locks the layers and does not allow them to be edited or modified beyond font layers? This has drained substantially large amounts of my time; erasing layers and adding new layers trying to correct this issue.

One more recent discovery is when I created a layer with a font. I applied a shadow to that layer. After the shadow is applied – it extended below the desired area. I assumed that the shadow on that layer could be edited – it cannot. Using the free select or the rectangular select tool cannot affect the shadow. Funny thing – I can cut part of the font ONLY on that layer – but not the shadow. Is there a method that Gimp could be set to apply the shadow to a separate/adjacent layer and edited without being directly linked to the font layer?

Another recent more startling development and much more concerning – Gimp (how - I cannot explain) began to apply a pattern to my fonts instead of a color. No matter what I did – I could not terminate this activity. Closed and re-opened the program, created a new image, etc. After trying many unsuccessful internet suggestions - I actually had to uninstall Gimp to correct this issue.

P.S. Is there a reason that Gimp does not include a shapes menu?

For your consideration – I thank you.

I have another  problem with V3, I have used the Free Sellect Tool (Lasso) many times in the past, but now with V3 I am getting the message Cannot subtract from empty selection?
( I just need to remove the background) 
I have had sporadic results, if I do get it working, and pause to move view etc, it will not return or complete the definition path,, I get the above message?
 And The lasso symbol shows it is not enabled?
I am experiencing it on more than one image.

Hi,

Is there a way to view xcf files on Android so that additional layers instead of just the first one can ben seen?

Bonjour,
Nouvel utilisateur de GIMP, j'utilise la version 3.2.4. Mais je n'arrive pas à configurer correctement l'impression des photos. En 10x15 l'impression est tronquée, malgré les differents essias faits
Un petit coup de main serait le bienvenue
Cordialement

Hi everyone,

I've been working on an open source plugin that brings ML powered background removal directly into GIMP 3.
Everything runs locally on your own machine. The plugin talks to a local withoutBG server (Docker or the macOS app), so your images never leave your computer.

Features

• Works with GIMP 3
  
• Fully open source (The model running on your computer is with open weights)
  
• Runs locally
  
• Creates a non destructive layer mask instead of permanently deleting the background
  
• Supports macOS and Linux today (Windows should also work with a local Docker backend)
  
  

1. Open an image.
   
2. Go to Tools > WithoutBG > Remove Background…
   
3. The plugin generates a matte and applies it as a layer mask, so you can continue refining it using normal GIMP tools.

I have the picture of a man with disproportionately long legs (compared to his torso):
https://i.ibb.co/zVzt8HL6/zz-GIMP02-01.jpg

I need to use the GIMP software to lengthen his torso, and shorten his legs without changing his overall head-to-toe height and without touching his head and face.
I asked artificial intelligence (Google Gemini) about this and it suggested the use of the Cage Transform tool:
https://i.ibb.co/ynwDCLv5/zz-GIMP02-02.jpg

However, when I do this, it creates some crack lines or fault lines (or whatever you may call them):
https://i.ibb.co/pB5Zxch6/zz-GIMP02-03.jpg

How can I avoid this problem?

And first of all, is the cage Transform tool even the right tool to use for this?
How can I correct the disproportionate body image of this man?
What tool to use and how?

Please advise.
Thanks.
Nick
