  working with png graphics creates unwanted colors
Posted by: Drachenbauer - 12-04-2022, 06:05 PM - Forum: General questions - Replies (3)

Hello

I like to create exact pixelarts for my self coded games.
I use 4-8 special choosen colors to build my graphics from to make them resemble a classic old videogame style.
So i sometimes use the indexed mode to check the used palette of my graphic.
For edition my graphics i only use pencil, color-fill and copy/paste selections.
But in the late time i noticed, that often extra colors appear, thar are just slightly different from one of my choosen colors.
How can this happen?

  Need assistance for "simple" copy and paste
Posted by: bat_dude - 12-04-2022, 12:24 PM - Forum: General questions - Replies (6)

Hi all,

I have a "master" image that will be used as a background and 4 separate images cropped from the same scale (size) image I need to combine these by pasting and aligning them into one image.  Followed by 2 others I need to crop and paste into the main image to show comparisons of the Y scale (blue lines). Every time I copy the cropped images and try pasting them onto the main image the size is changed on the cropped image and no longer correctly aligns with the main image.  This is a task I need to master,  as I need to repeat it hundreds of times.  Any suggestions are welcomed. Two examples are below.

Tnx Bruce
Example of "Main" image: [Image: Dicalb-SP.png][Image: Main.png] [Image: Dicing-SP.png]


I can do a version of this in a clunky way by pasting the images into a PowerPoint slide (or MS Word Doc) and using overlapping images then exporting as a PNG but seems the power of GIMP would be much better.

Perhaps if there is a way to only select the Black section of each cropped image and paste those onto the master background might work, but do not know how to do this in GIMP.  Eons ago with Photoshop, this task was easy.  Alas the old Win7 OS and version of PS I had not longer works int eh 64 bit Win 10 Pro OS.

  How to Get a Custom Avatar
Posted by: flauapaua - 12-04-2022, 08:37 AM - Forum: Gimp-Forum.net - Replies (9)

I tried to get one by going to User CP -> Change Avatar, chose a file from my computer i.e. the name of the file appeared beside the browse button. There is no upload button, so I clicked "Change Avatar". Didn't work however? Where did I go wrong?

  How to display a message to the user from script-fu
Posted by: flauapaua - 12-03-2022, 08:33 PM - Forum: Scripting questions - Replies (6)

I have a very basic question.

in the script-fu console writing


Code:
(gimp-message "Hello World")


and pressing return gives me this


Code:
> (gimp-message "Hello World")

(#t)


in the output box of the console. And this is it.

Shouldn't I get some dialog pop up or something? If not how else can one do this?

  batch joining many jpgs - possible?
Posted by: abrogard - 12-03-2022, 03:50 AM - Forum: General questions - Replies (3)

I have a large number of jpg of exactly the same format.

 the are maps.

 the inside areas of each match the inside areas of others, meet  up, coincide

 The thing is to get the borders off and join them into one large map that I can then select different areas and shapes from.

 Is there a way to do this quiickly, easily in gimp, even by batch perhaps?

here's a couple of samples:

  what is the recommended hardware configuration for GIMP?
Posted by: kenny1999 - 12-02-2022, 07:39 AM - Forum: General questions - Replies (2)

I do not mean the lowest hardware requirement for GIMP because we usually have better than that.

I'd like to know what the recommended hardware/system requirement for GIMP is.
I am buying a new computer soon and GIMP will be part of an important consideration because I don't plan on buying expensive and high-end one but at the same time I'd like to get something good enough for GIMP so that it is not going to lag, freeze or crash.

  TOOL Options
Posted by: gaystan - 12-01-2022, 08:45 PM - Forum: General questions - Replies (5)

Hi everybody :

      I have version 2.10
      I accidentally deleted then TOOL options (on the right side).  I searched the internet
for answers.  Couldn't find the correct solutions.  Example : when I click on FREE SELECT,
I get the tool options on the right side ( showing SIZE, FORCE,etc....). How do I get them 
back ?

  Processing XCF files in batch
Posted by: Mate de Vita - 12-01-2022, 03:38 PM - Forum: Scripting questions - Replies (14)

I have a large number (~3500) of .xcf GIMP projects. I would like to perform some simple operation on all of them. Specifically, the images all contain one layer that's all green and one layer that's all red, and I would like to flip those two colours (i.e. I would like to turn RGB (0, 255, 0) to (255, 0, 0) and vice versa).

Is there a way to do this automatically without manually opening each file in GIMP and recolouring it by hand?
