  Using GIMP 2.8.22, Making "lossy-ness" around smaller images disappear
Posted by: Songbird - 07-14-2022, 12:21 AM - Forum: General questions - Replies (8)

I have a large base image on which I have placed several smaller images as individual layers. These small images have been obtained by screenshooting them from internet image searches and cropping them to eliminate other images around them, and to create as little layer space as possible. After finally fitting them perfectly on my base image and getting each one to be the right color and brightness, I can see those little wavy flecks and lines around them that happen after an image has been lifted and placed, lifted from there and placed somewhere else, lifted and placed again.... Like the way you can tell that a meme has made its rounds on social media. How can I get rid of those little "lossy pic" marks? The images themselves seem fine, but the area around them starting from the hard edges each has needs to be nice and clean, as the base image is pure white where they're placed.

  Translate selected pixels in layer
Posted by: c_______z______ - 07-13-2022, 08:52 PM - Forum: Scripting questions - No Replies

Hi, I am brand new to gimp scripting and still figuring out the basics. I'd like to find out how to perform a translation on only the pixels of a layer that are within a selection. Basically the equivalent of doing this in the UI: perform selection, hold down Ctrl-Alt, then click and drag.

I can create a selection just fine, but I don't know how to turn the pixels inside the selection into a floating selection. I assume once I do that, I can just use gimp-item-transform-translate on the floating selection?

Thanks!


I figured it out: the procedure to use is gimp-selection-float, which performs the translation as well. Just pass in the desired layer as the drawable

  Problem with a script
Posted by: Luciole - 07-13-2022, 08:20 PM - Forum: General questions - Replies (7)

Hello !

I used to use a script with gimp, a script which doesn't work anymore. It's color-to-alpha All Layers.

In fact, now, when I want to erase a color on all layers, the rest of the image becomes green.

An exemple :

https://zupimages.net/up/22/28/toq5.png

The color I wanted to erase is clear but the rest has become green.

Any idea ?

Thanks for your help !

EDIT : The first time I used this script with that tuto from rich2005 : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EG42e_TP...e=youtu.be
it worked very well but for a moment, it doesn't work anymore.

  Text Box
Posted by: sallyanne - 07-13-2022, 07:42 AM - Forum: General questions - Replies (5)

Are there any significant changes in the text box in the latest version of gimp as to how text comes out? I have looked at everything I can think of. Need to give an answer to a member of another forum who is getting dashes when their words are just too long. I think it might be that the text box is just too small or the font is too large.
Says he cannot do multiple lines in one text box.

A way to make weird graphics with TTI (Text To Image). https://app.wombo.art/
A few examples :
'Gimp' as text and 'Backlight Mode'
   
The program is also working with uploaded photos, a face as photo with prompt 'Never ending flower'

  Making an outfit half and half colors
Posted by: BillG1955 - 07-12-2022, 05:35 PM - Forum: General questions - Replies (5)

I have an image of the front of a dress. I want to make one half of the dress black and one half white. I am guessing I am going to use the Paths tool and outline one half of the dress and do a layer via copy and the do the same with the other half. So now each half of the dress will be on a separate layer. What is my next step? Do I create a layer mask for each layer and fill the mask with the color i want or do I just do a fill with FG or BG?

  Help: Issue with changing image to halftone with transparency backgroung
Posted by: Zodiak1970 - 07-12-2022, 12:04 AM - Forum: General questions - Replies (10)

I was following along with a YouTube tutorial on converting a photo into halftones.
I followed step by step however when I completed the steps I still had a white background (after inverting color for black tshirt) the tutorial showed the exact image as I had however the background was transparent (checkerboard) I'm so frustrated I understand gimp has a learning curve it's just discouraging on what is a fairly simple thing as this to keep finding yourself not accomplishing what seems simple.

Fractals made with Mandelbulber. All editing done with Gimp. REMBG used to remove backgrounds from Creative Commons licensed YouTube clips. Also used Python2 Gimp scripts, G'MIC and GEGL.
