I always used the installation of my plugins/scripts creating a custom folder (MyPlugins) in C:\Gimp-2.10.32_Portable_32-64bit-Win\Preferences\plug-ins\MyPlugins and inside it I insert the plugins; as the image below: Is there any mandatory way to install plugins / scripts in folders? Inside folders? Names without spaces?
What is the official way to add plugins/scripts to the directory in Preferences?
Note, that the way I've done it (see image above) the plugins/scripts work.
However, I'm having problems with the new version 2.10.32 Samj's Portable, and apparently the problem seems to go away when I remove my folders that contain my plugins and scripts (with all their contents).
I am new to using Gimp, I am trying to take an image and separate the colors for screen printing.
I have tried following different video & online articles that explain the process however I continue to run into issues, perhaps I am not understanding the issue or I am using an image that cant be separated?
I have included a couple of attachments to show what I am trying to separate and I will also show what results I have achieved.
Image 1 - is the image created using a photo then adding text
I tried to separate the first color flesh/skin by :
selecting the color tool
I then clicked on the skin of the image
I copied the selection(ctrl+C)
I pasted the image(ctrl+V)
I clicked on the floating layer and clicked new layer
Image 2 is what appeared ( the black outline of the wrestler)
However when I would repeat this step for the next color ex. the red background behind the wrestler I would get nothing.
Is the problem the image I am using or something I am doing?
I am using 2.10. On the Mac. I have used the Clone tool before and mostly it is working OK. However I can’t get it to clone (sample) from an individual layer. I select a layer to be active and set the source with the command key, I then set the layer on which I want to paint to be active, but it only paints with the overall image from ALL visible layers, including the one I am painting on.
The only way I can restrict the clone to a single static image is to put the image in a separate file as my source for the clone.
I am modifying grass for rendering and using an image of a lawn for my clone source. I can’t use the overall results as this creates a mess with the tool picking up what I just painted for subsequent passes.
I have a 2D picture with relief (see photo), I am trying to select the whole carved out part, no luck.
Tried to enhance the edges (sharpen and High Pass) to bring out the edges, retry ... nothing.
The sharpened picture then, I too though the Photocopy, hoping to get a clean edge around ... no ball.
Black and white, and combinations of the above steps, none succeed.
Been looking in Google for a solution, though, no luck there either.
YouTube?
Nada.
Tried alternative search engines (Yahoo for one), nope no luck.
How to make a good looking group picture from individual photos?
A short story of why and what I need:
1) I'm about to have my graduation ceremony in my university later this week.
2) Our university has a tradition that each year the people who graduate send their photos to one person and that person makes them into a "group picture" or rather a "group collage".
3) This group collage is given as a gift to the university during the ceremony.
And this year, since no one really wanted to be the person, I was tasked with doing this task.
So, after a weeks of bombarding people with emails I have 34 pictures, one from each student (incusing myself). They're all totally different sizes & I have to make this thing fit on either an A4 or A3 paper. (Currently I'm going for A3 size, which is 4961 x 3508 px.)
I want to make something cool looking. Any ideas?
So my current idea is to take a blank A3 page, make a hexagon pattern where each hexagon would potentially be able to fit a person with his / her picture + their name OR just their picture and fit their name + surname on the 2 hexagons directly below. I have no idea how to mathematically make this possible. Like I don't want to use the half-hexagons on the very edges + I probably want to put the universities logo and faculty name somewhere on the "top row" of the hexagons. After that I have an idea, so the background wouldn't be white to put this HD 4000X3000 image of our universities building front as like a 20-30% transparent layer. I think it would look cool. I could also color the half hexagons in our university color pattern.
Like, how do I do any of this? Is there an 'easy' way to make each picture match each hexagon somewhat ok? Like is there simple masking in gimp? Because square images in hexagons would look whack.
I would really appreciate just a short description / clip of how to set up the background and how to mask said images so they'd only show in 1 hexagon at a time. Once I know how to do it once I should be able to repeat it 34 times.
Hi everyone. I have a question about the best way to do color corrections. I have a 1965 pinball machine and the plastics on the playfield have faded, it looks like the red faded out a bit more than everything else, though pure red areas are still red. I tried just making it warmer and playing with the hue a bit but I don't seem to be getting close. Looking at a reference image the face is a lot more pink but the whites are white.
Its a relatively simple colored set of images (originally silkscreened onto the plastic) and I thought I could probably select areas by color and individually adjust, but I have 10 of these graphics to do, is there an easier way?
One week of the year the fair comes to town. Also known as the annual rain-making-ceremony. It has been surprisingly dry for once. I thought I would break out my mobile phone for more or less random photos. Still not mastered the phone, seems to capture / not-capture of its own volition
All very colourful, from the traditional to the higher tech stuff, whatever appeals.
This has been a problem with GIMP for many years now (as long as I've been using it) but it seems like it might be a very minor problem. If so I'd love to be able to print my edited photos using GIMP.
In my case the target printer is Canon Pixma Pro 100. The interface works very much as expected. In that the print dialogue has a Button labeled Preferences. When this is selected the Canon driver setup dialogue is invoked. On this photo printer there are lots of options that can be selected to prepare for printing. This includes many options NOT commonly available on a typical office printer. However, one of the options, which is very standard, is the need to specify the size of paper on which the image is to be printed. As it turns out no matter what size paper is selected GIMP seems to insist on setting it to Letter (8.5x11) inch. Fortunately, this Canon driver has a preview option, that still works, which displays what the driver intends to do. This allows the printing operation to be canceled if something is amiss, which when using GIMP is always very conspicuous.
This raises the question, "might GIMP work correctly when printing on Letter size paper?". While it is technically possible, GIMP still does something to mess up the options selected by the driver. One of those has to do with the border. The Pixma Pro printers are capable of "Borderless" printing. In that, printing all the way to the edge of the paper. Unfortunately, it seems that GIMP does something to negate this capability. Interestingly GIMP does provide a "Page Setup" dialogue which is used to specify both paper and border size separately from the Canon driver. When using the "Page Setup" dialogue it appears as though GIMP does NOT allow the border values to be set to zero.
Since GIMP does invoke the Canon provided printer driver software one might expect that it shouldn't be too hard to stay out of the way and let it operate as it should. Instead GIMP is doing something, presumably unintentional, that essentially prevents me from using it to print photos.
