  Layers Locked even after uninstall and reinstall gimp
Posted by: TMORT - 07-20-2022, 10:34 PM - Forum: General questions - Replies (6)

I was using gimp earlier today and setting a layer to semi opaque so I could see through it to another earlier picture of the same location. However, I must have changed some setting in the process. I don't use gimp all that much and making a layer semi tramsparent even less. As I was looking around the layer tools I may have accidentally locked something. However, I couldn't find how to unlock it. I tried other photos from other sources and upon opening they were all locked to. I got the icon on screen indicating locked for the cursor. I tried uninstalling gimp and reinstalling it. It still behaves the same. I've made the canvas bigger than the image as well. I can't move it.

The new install is gimp 2.10.32 and I know the previous was a also 2.10. I think the same version.

Any ideas???

  Using GIMP 2.8.22, Repositioned image disappears!
Posted by: Songbird - 07-20-2022, 09:48 PM - Forum: Older Gimp versions (2.8, 2.6....) - Replies (12)

   

What is happening in the circled areas? 

(These images are only for practice. In my real image, I need to add text or a text image under a big circle, and the whole thing will be my company logo. But there's no room at the bottom, and neither moving the layer nor resizing the layer allows me to move the circle up without moving it out of view).

  path-waves-0.2.py not adjusting beyond 50px in circle
Posted by: mahvin - 07-20-2022, 06:00 PM - Forum: General questions - Replies (4)

Periodic wave circle seems to be stuck at 50px (going higher in wavelength and amplitude, going lower works ok). At this time, the other waves seem to work appropriately.

  Uncrop plug-in - resynthesizer
Posted by: david - 07-20-2022, 02:10 PM - Forum: Extending the GIMP - Replies (7)

After using the uncrop plug-in, part of the resynthesizer suite for many years, today I discovered an error! If it used on a layer with an alpha channel it will fail.

So I have modified it to remove the alpha channel. I have also done the same for my variant - uncrop side.

I attach the two modified files. (Linux users will need to make them executable.)

  How to reduce the red color on image ?
Posted by: Stephen Liu - 07-19-2022, 03:07 PM - Forum: General questions - Replies (19)

Hi all,


Please advise which feature of GIMP I need to apply for reducing the red color on the photo.  Please refer to attached image.

It is an old faded photo with yellowish color.  I scanned it on my mobile phone, Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra, macro lens 1x.

The positive photo was then cropped on GIMP and exported as .jpg file without any post-editing done.

Thanks

Regards

  Why did this GIF file get so big?
Posted by: Mark2855 - 07-19-2022, 01:29 AM - Forum: General questions - Replies (1)

A Fiverr guy created a GIF for me, 4.3 MB.
The free GifViewer program broke it down into individual...
612 frames, and a sum total of 61 MB.
Why do the parts add up to so much bigger than the original?

I didn't like the fact that 20 frames were used for some scenes,
instead of just One frame each, with a longer duration.
I deleted some frames, then GIMP adjusted the Duration of some frames.
Ended up with just 123 frames, of various Durations.
Still, the new GIF is 21 MB.  Why so big?

Thanks, people.

  How to add a border caption on Image for print?
Posted by: skylineboy - 07-18-2022, 07:03 PM - Forum: General questions - Replies (1)

new to gimp and image editing in general (aside from basics).

i have discovered a lot of images (cars and sports) which are on slides to be scanned. the slide mounts have some info on the image contents etc.

i would like to add these to the image, when printed probably 8x6, 10x8, 12x10 etc which i understand are common sizes. and for print at 300dpi, the image / document sizes would be 2400x1800 (8x6), 3000x2400 (10x8) and 3600x3000 (12x10) is this correct?

here is an example and would be exactly the thing i'm looking for. https://www.pinterest.co.uk/pin/car-pres...632551001/

i would like to have a banner at the bottom where i can add in caption info eg the car or sports team / dates etc, and my contact info, and this would be probably take up an inch or so of say an 8x6 inch print if the example is anything to go by.. (i do plan to print them like the example too).

my questions are

1. how can i do this, in general, as i say im new to gimp / beyond basics.
2. can it be done so the banner is a template and i then just drag and drop in the main image and change some text on the caption (some info will be constant eg my contact info), and then print, i presume i would need a template for each print size i would like to have.

hope i've explained it well! thanks in advance.

  Thumbnail images for .xcf files in MacOSX Finder
Posted by: SimonH - 07-18-2022, 02:27 PM - Forum: OSX - No Replies

I am a new Gimp 2.10 user (refusing, after getting a new Mac running OSX 12.4 Monterey, to pay Adobe for annual licence fees for a Photoshop program I already own).

I need to save .xcf files with an icon/thumbnail so that I can see what is in them in the Finder.  All I see is the Gimp Fox?+Paintbrush icon.  This does not happen with .pdf, .psd or .tif files saved from any other program, but still happens when I export to .tif from Gimp.

I can find no option within the Gimp Preferences.  And web posts on plugins etc were not clear.

Advice?

  How to use gradient tool to combine two images ?
Posted by: allu - 07-16-2022, 12:07 PM - Forum: General questions - Replies (2)

Hello,
I tried to make a new sky to 360-image according to the instructions of these videos:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1wlq17mAkYU
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AaD_6df2myc

All parts of the videos were clear, but only the final point was unclear to me.
I selected "gradient tool" and then made straight line from the highest point of horizon to black area edge, but it only makes black in the area where I pull the gradient tool line.

Here is image, what kind of settings I used in gradient tool (should be same as in the video):
   

After adding the "layer mask" there is two small images on the same layer in the layer section. I selected the sky image in the layer section, so I do not selected the white small image in the layer section.

Why it makes black and not combine the panorama imge and the sky image together like in the video ?

I tried to do everything as in the video.
I even tried with same Gimp version than in the video, but same problem.

Thanks for answers and I can give more information if needed !
