  middle of text layer to guide
Posted by: denzjos - 07-23-2022, 06:26 PM - Forum: Tutorials and tips - Replies (1)

To align the middle of different text layers on different guides (vertical or/and horizontal), press Ctrl and Alt with 'Text Tool' activated, click in a text layer and drag it to a guide or a point where guides intersect. While pressing Ctrl and Alt a little cross appears in the middle of the text layer. This cross snaps to the guides. If the text box has an odd width, then the cross snaps one pixel left or right of the guide. Helps to make a personal time table for street theatre on different places and times for example.

  What happened to Drop Shadow filter?
Posted by: Lubasha - 07-23-2022, 01:00 AM - Forum: General questions - Replies (2)

I used GIMP years ago very actively and was quite happy with that. But I don't understand the one it turned to be now. Icons became smaller, on a black background impossible to see anything without strong magnifier. But the main concern higher versions of GIMP became very uncomfortable to use. I was trying just to make a drop shadow on text and found it is not working. The help I found says 6.7.4. Using Drop Shadow Filter

This GEGL Drop Shadow filter is surprising: if you apply the filter directly to the image as you do with the legacy filter, you get nothing!

and I have to do from 9 to 19 steps to make it work! You guys, who create updates to this software, are going in wrong direction! 

I wish to donate for those creating GIMP I used to know, but today's one is so out of touch with people! Please, give me the old GIMP back!

  Image scaling question
Posted by: Cosmopsis - 07-22-2022, 08:44 AM - Forum: General questions - Replies (1)

Hi, I'm completely new to photo editing and I'm so confused by this problem. Will be very grateful if anyone can explain what's going on!

I'm trying to make image 2 the same width as image 1. The images each individually measure about 45mm, but image 2 is somehow still smaller?

When I cut and paste image 2 onto image 1, it shows as about 25mm, when it was showing as about 45 mm when it was a separate file.

I assume I'm fundamentally misunderstanding something but I have no idea what.

  Newbie Help with Undoing Gradients
Posted by: ohiojosh78 - 07-21-2022, 11:15 PM - Forum: General questions - Replies (4)

Hi, my wife and I have started a small pressure washing business and had a logo designed for it. I am happy with the logo design itself but when we had them put on t-shirts, it didn't look good because of the gradient coloring. I have tried to fix the issue myself but I am not familiar with photo editing software and when searching for a fix, I have not been able to find any instructions that I could follow for my particular situation.

I have attached the oridinal psd file. I anyone could help me out or instruct me as to how to turn the gradient green and blue shapes back to solid colors I would be grateful.

Thank you!

  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
