  making blur work
Posted by: RobertFrick - 09-10-2022, 10:41 PM - Forum: General questions - Replies (6)

earlier today, I clicked on the blur tool, clicked on my picture, and it blurred that part of my picture. (size depending on size)

I would like to do that again, but it doesn't work -- no blurring occurs. (I do get a "convolve" added to the left of my screen.) I have tried, well, starting with a no picture with no layers, adding layers, using picture select, using other pictures, google, the search engine here, turning Gimp off and then back on, holding the shift key, getting to blur from the menu and reducing opacity at the top. I guess I could try pushing all the keys at once and turning my whole computer on and off, but I will send this first.

  Getting the Tool options back, once for all
Posted by: Ofnuts - 09-10-2022, 05:08 PM - Forum: Tutorials and tips - Replies (9)

So, you have lost the Tool options dialog which is the part of the UI where you can set parameters from the current tool (brush size in the PaintBrush, font in the Text tool, fill type in the bucket...). We are talking about this, the dialog with an easel/chalkboard icon in the tab:

   

This happens because some unfortunate mouse moves over it detach it from the UI, and when this happens most people just close the dialog instead of re-docking it. The result is, no more Tool options:

     

You can re-open the dialog with Windows ➤ Dockable dialogs ➤ Tool options. However this opens a "detached" dialog and you have to re-dock it, but there is a simpler way to get it back at the right place. Click the |<| icon on the right of the tab line:

   

And select Add tab ➤ Tool options

   

And you are done:

   

Well, almost, because the Tool options dialog is at the end of the line instead of being at the beginning. If that bothers you, just drag its tab index over the first tab index in the line to move the Tool options tab to the first position.

  Saving Workspace Layout
Posted by: Ritergeek - 09-09-2022, 02:37 PM - Forum: General questions - Replies (4)

I just installed GIMP 2.10 on a new computer. I fiddled around and got my workspace set up the way I want with the toolbox in a column down the left, etc. The computer arbitrarily restarted overnight and everything went back to the default layout. I know there's a way to save the workspace, but I've looked everywhere and can't find that "save workspace" option I'm sure I've previously used. 

What am I missing?

  Every Drawing acting weird
Posted by: ItsOnlyBread - 09-08-2022, 06:55 PM - Forum: General questions - Replies (1)

Every time I try to use the paint tool or any other tool for drawing with my mouse, it draws all scattered. I've linked a video i recorded of it because I don't know the solution.

  adjust identical image to match tone
Posted by: applor - 09-07-2022, 10:35 PM - Forum: General questions - Replies (9)

Hello everyone,

I've been using Gimp for a while and I am fairly confident in its usage but find myself struggling to do a colour/tone match.
I have tried the methods used in youtube videos but the technique doesn't really work for what I need.
Those videos involve adding an image to a background and matching the tone, rather than getting 2 identical images to match.

I have two images (attached) which are of the same thing and I need to match new.jpg so it looks the same as old.jpg
Whether it be done using a new layer or not doesn't matter, as long as it is reproduceable.

Is anyone able to assist in how to do it, or can do it for me?  It's a one off project.

Thanks.

  Batch conversion
Posted by: allo - 09-06-2022, 01:08 PM - Forum: General questions - Replies (4)

I installed the BIMP plugin for batch conversion (I have 1500 files to convert!!), but I'm having trouble doing what I want to do.

I need three changes:
1) A change to the value curve with two points added to the curve:
  - Input 5 and Output 40
  - Input 220 and Output 235
2) Saturation increased to 1.200
3) Contrast increased to 10


It's easy to do the contrast change, as that is quite easy to access through the BIMP plugin, but I have no idea how to do the other two changes! Can anyone help me? Thanks in advance!

  UFO landing on my camera!
Posted by: PixLab - 09-06-2022, 07:20 AM - Forum: Watercooler - Replies (3)

Yeah... it's a click-bait Big Grin

More seriously, it's just a nice optical effect, those 2 islands are at 15 kilometers (8 nautical miles) away and today they looked like they were hovering the sea  Cool
I just wanted to share  Wink

   

   

   

Those 2 islands are called "Caubian Island" and are part of the Danajon Bank double-barrier reef one of the only 6 double-barrier reef in the world.
