  Perspective with BIMP
Posted by: Boppy - 06-05-2022, 02:33 PM - Forum: General questions - Replies (4)

Hi guys,  I'm trying to use BIMP to mass edit images to create 3D box arts and am having trouble with it.

What I'm trying to get is all the images like this 

   

When I choose the item-transform-perspective no matter what I put in the boxes below the images come out black and the file sizes are in Kb's when the files were 1-2MB previously.

   
 
Is there something else i should be doing as well?  I had a search and saw this  

"This procedure is affected by the following context setters: gimp_context_set_interpolation(), gimp_context_set_transform_direction(), gimp_context_set_transform_resize(), gimp_context_set_transform_recursion()"

So I added them also and set them to match what the perspective tool is set at and still no joy.  Ill be honest i am new to this and have no idea what I'm doing so any help will be greatly appreciated.

  Help in placing object behind trees
Posted by: Deusvult1990 - 06-03-2022, 02:38 AM - Forum: General questions - Replies (6)

Hi!
I am very VERY new to GIMP, so I apologize ahead for dumb questions.
I tried looking for youtube guides on my problem, but couldn't find anything useful.

Here's image of the forest I have:

https://ibb.co/DDMFP2X


I want to place this object behind the trees, on the far side, so it's barely visible (blur it with the foggy lightning too)

https://ibb.co/JkSVY5m


However, I encountered problems immediately as I have problems getting the "object" behind the trees - magic wand doesn't help as it the fog messes up tree silhouettes to select them and the copypaste above the "object".

Should I use a mask? If yes, what kind of and how? (I know how to create masks, but don't understand how to use this function in this case if it is even applicable at all)

Please, point me in a direction of a guide on how this is done or explain yourself - I appreciate ANY help
Thank you!

  Rearranging the dialog boxes
Posted by: HavingTooMuchFun - 06-02-2022, 09:56 PM - Forum: General questions - Replies (6)

I HATE single-window mode, is there any way to make deactivating that PERMANENT, or am I stuck changing that setting every time I bring up Gimp? 

Having the Brushes-Layers dialog box with the rarely-used Brushes and patterns on top and the constantly-used Layers on the bottom is such a nightmare that I'm still using 2.82 for every possible thing. Please tell me there's a way to rearrange it the way it is in 2.82, with the layers/channels/paths half on TOP... and ideally KEEP it that way?

  AI to remove unwanted things from images in seconds
Posted by: Krikor - 06-02-2022, 05:05 PM - Forum: Other graphics software - Replies (1)

An option when it comes to removing parts of the image.

Did not ask for any application, etc.
I just uploaded the image and edited it very simply.

The result positively surprised me.

Editing is done in the browser at https://www.magiceraser.io/

  Nitroshare alternative
Posted by: PixLab - 06-02-2022, 06:08 AM - Forum: Watercooler - Replies (6)

I'm using nitroshare for many years tto transfer files and directories directly between our computers on the same wifi and it was working perfectly, just drag and drop chose the computer in the list and ➤ done but I recently upgraded my kids computer to MX 21.1 and nitroshare seems to not detect the other computer on the same wifi, as well as not maintained any more (although if it works i'm ok with that, but it does not work)...

Do you know an alternative?

Bug Issues installing GIMP-fanim
Posted by: chatchatchat - 06-01-2022, 07:03 PM - Forum: Extending the GIMP - Replies (4)

So, i'm running gimp 2.10.30 on WIN7 (64bit), and i've noticed everytime i try to install a python plugin, it doesn't show up, and if i put it into the GIMP python console to see what's wrong, i get a load of indentation errors, among other things. 

Really, i just want to install GIMP-fanim. i've heard people using the same OS and version have successfully installed it, so i'm just not sure what i'm doing wrong.

The plugin's code can be viewed here, and i've posted the output of the GIMP python console here. Any help would be appreciated.  Shy

  border around layer using stroke selection
Posted by: boardgamemonkey - 06-01-2022, 06:45 PM - Forum: General questions - Replies (2)

I want to create a border around a picture (which is positioned inside a larger picture). I am trying to use stroke selection for this.

What i do, select the background as the active layer (the picture is a separate layer on top of this). Next use the select tool to select around the picture. Then [Edit]->[Stroke Selection] to draw a border around the image. The problem is, that the border is not only around the image. But also inside the image. Now that is not a problem if the image layer is 100% opaque. Because the image layer is blocking the stroke border underneath it. But if you make the image a little bit transparant, you will see the stroke selection border is also drawn inside the image.

So how do i fix this?

In other words: I want to draw a border fully around a layer (3mm wide), but not inside of it.

Thanks Smile

  Automatically write filename on a set of images
Posted by: GiacomoDB - 06-01-2022, 08:49 AM - Forum: Scripting questions - Replies (2)

Dear All,

I am new in this forum. I write a topic because I would ask if it is available a Script-Fu (of Python-Fu) which generates a specific set of operation made automatically.

I have a lot of images, with specific filename.jpg (or filename.png, or any extension).
I would like to:

- Open them one by one;
- Write on a specific position (which is always the same for every image) the filename without the extension ("filename"), with a specific size/color, font, etc;
- Save it and close;

Is there any Script-Fu able to doing this?
Is there an official repository of ready to use
Script-fu (or Python-Fu) scripts?

Thank you in advance for every reply!

Sad Brand an image with a deep set icon
Posted by: CtrlAltDel - 06-01-2022, 02:02 AM - Forum: General questions - Replies (3)

Hello everyone.  I always know that whatever problem I'm having with Gimp or whatever I need help with, it can be solved here.  I have lately started creating Linux Mint wallpapers and have so far created about 100 of them over a period of a year or so.  

One I have never been able to create though is one that looks like the LM icon is set deeply in, let's say, a colorful fence.  Sorry for not knowing the proper term for this or not having an example.  I would like to take the icon and make it look like it is about to burst through the fence, or whatever else I may use as a background.  Not from behind but, from the front.  You know, sunk deep into it, almost like a horse being branded and with it having some depth? is the best example I can think of at this moment.  Sad

The image below is kind of blah.  I was hoping for something more than just changing the mode also, which is okay but not what I was looking to do.

  bizarre pixel brush - how to recreate?
Posted by: wrongwarp - 05-30-2022, 07:30 PM - Forum: General questions - Replies (2)

hello! i use gimp as my primary drawing tool, and while trying to make a lazy 2 pixel large square brush using the clipboard (drawing a two pixel large square, copying it to my clipboard, and just using it as a brush like that) i ended up getting some incredibly bizarre brush behavior out of it.

the brush i created acts something like a weird in-between of 1px and 2px, but only when i'm using the version directly from the clipboard - if i select clipboard mask, the brush acts the way i had expected it to in the first place.

[Image: brush%20weirdness.png]
now, i actually rather like this bizarre and crunchy looking brush, but there's a bit of a problem: i can't change its color until after it's on the canvas (i could also, of course, change the color of the 2px square on the clipboard and copy that, but that's a few extra steps that can add up to a LOT of extra time spent...). i can change the color of the clipboard mask version of the brush, but that looks completely different!

i don't really entirely understand how brushes on gimp work, so perhaps i'm missing something obvious here, but - is it possible to get the look of the brush on the LEFT side of the image but still have the ability to pick its color?
