Starting with a .jpg taken by a cousin with an iPhone of a painting done by a relative.
Properties of the original .jpg I was sent per Gimp are:
42" x 56"
72 ppi
3.7 mb
RGB
It's a pic in sharp focus of the painting in a frame. The plan is to crop out just the painting, straighten it and bring it down to the original size of 23.5" x 29.25" and have it printed with some border around it for framing.
What do you recommend as the optimal workflow to go from the original to a format to have a print made of it and what method of printing do you recommend? Office Depot does prints that size as posters but they use a variety of inkjet printer and I wonder if there's something better that an actual print shop might use. The goal is to retain as much of the sharpness and detail as possible.
What DPI should I use for best results? I gather most places like .pdf as a file to print from? Is there a particular stock you recommend?
Out of curiosity, I made a graph to see the effect of the "blending function" in a gradient, and how it behaves if the midpoint is changed.
The "50" gradients have the default midpoint position, and the "75" one have the midpoint dragged to 75% of the range.
To replicate, adapt and run this code in the Python console, and copy/paste the result to a CSV that you feed to your favorite spreadsheet application.
This is in 2.10.18.
Since this version was installed. Some functions are behaving unexpectedly.
At the moment I am looking at "Pencil" and it occupies the whole screen.
How can I reduce it?
Hello,
For months now various tools and functions have not been working properly or at all in Gimp. The select by colour often makes a selection, but, for example, I can't invert it and delete or change the background, or the selection itself. Once I've made a selection by colour, I have tried the manual command as well as clicking the option in the EDIT tab to fill with forground colour, but nothing happens. There are other tools and functions not working either. I'm stuck. Can anyone help? I have Gimp GIMP 2.10.32 currently. I use a Mac Monteray. 12.6.1
I see the measure tool defaults to pixels, I don't find a setting to change that to any other unit of measure. Is there such a setting and if so how do I access it?
Hello everyone, Merry Christmas. When i use the g'mic filters they all work great except the dream smoothing filter. when i apply the filter my image turns white?? Any suggestions??
I hoping to find out if it's possible to take an image used for a background and create a curve in it. The ideas is to create a rotunda-like appearance with the background being the walls and another object being placed central to the rest.
I could be up in the night on this. Most definitely it's above my current GIMP abilities. I don't even know what to search for in tutorials or in this forum to find where to begin. I did find the warp tool, and it has possibilities I think but it's not working to create the desired effect. It looks more like a mess as if I was stirring in one paint color into another. It just got sort of swirled around. I found my cursor and fingers wouldn't cooperate to result in an even warp.
