  gimp window off screen
Posted by: gm40 - 02-28-2022, 03:13 PM - Forum: General questions - Replies (2)

Hi,
I'm running gimp 2.10.12 within opensuse leap 15.3. I do use a two-sreen mode on and off. When I open gimp now its window is not matching any of the two screens. I'm also not able to resize the window to match the screen. The handle for pulling down the top shows up but doesn't do anything. So the bottom margin of the window is somewhere below the screen(s). Any picture that I open in gimp is only partially visible. I've searched the configuration files to find a parameter I could adjust and then open gimp again but haven't had any luck so far. I suspect this is a bug as I can't remember having experienced the same problem with gimp 2.8.
Thanks for any hint!

  How Did I Create This Border?
Posted by: kandesbunzler - 02-28-2022, 12:28 PM - Forum: General questions - Replies (4)

Simple question: I made this border over a year ago and I can't figure out how I did it. How did I create this?

I did it without importing a grunge texture. If I remember correctly it started like: Select All, Shrink, Distort maybe?

  moving a layer ?
Posted by: abrogard - 02-28-2022, 07:35 AM - Forum: General questions - Replies (3)

I'm a bit lost here.  gimp 2.10

I opened an image file.
I made a copy layer.
then I made another layer.
then I hid the first layer. the image file.
then I made active the top layer.
then I traced with the bush tool some feature from the underlying copy layer onto the top layer.
then I found with the move tool I could move the underlying layer all around the canvas, so that it was right off it if I liked.
But I can't move the top layer that I drew on at all.
what am I doing wrong?

  Too good a camera
Posted by: meetdilip - 02-27-2022, 11:46 AM - Forum: General questions - Replies (3)

Hi, I took some pictures using a good camera ( mobile ). The camera is good enough to highlight all marks and skin texture. How do we touch up such a photo, mostly selfies using GIMP? Which tool to soften the skin a bit and possibly brighten too? Thanks.

  Delete works different with different tools
Posted by: biuro74 - 02-27-2022, 01:50 AM - Forum: General questions - Replies (2)

Hi,

1. I've noticed something annoying - or maybe it's a special feature and it works as supposed ?

When I select some shape using a lasso tool, and use "Delete" key on that area, which is "edit-clear" function as I think, it erases an area with very nice edge antialiasing.
But when I select the same shape using a Magic Wand tool, and erase that area with "Delete" ley as well, edges are harsh, like in an old graphic editor which simply clears selected pixels.

This makes me very sick, as I do two-stage editing in majority of pictures: first stage is a shape select, reverse and background removal, then layer is being moved into another file... and I repeat that for few pictures. Second stage is detailing of all layers in new file, and here my problems begin - because what I have selected previously wasting many minutes, is not repeat-able as I don't want to double the time spent already for selecting area with lasso -> so I simply click MagicWand at background & select inverse. So easy, but erasing details give me sharp edges this time.

Do you know, how to make antialiased edges again ? I don't even think about feather, blur or similar options. How to clear selected area the same way, no matter with tool I use ? In both tools properties I've got "antialiasing" ticked on, I've got transparency (alpha channel).

2. Sometimes when I select some shape with lasso tool (usually when selecting comes over physical picture size - but Gimp shrinks selection automatically to picture size), click Layers->Transpareny->colour to alpha and use "Delete" key, some part of picture disappears. I've found a workaround to insert an alpha channel first, and then it all works fine. It's a bug for sure, where can I report it ?

Any clues appreciated.
Cheers

  Perspective too lossy
Posted by: Bohoho - 02-26-2022, 07:59 PM - Forum: General questions - Replies (2)

I'm a pure beginner. I just wanted to change perspective of part of bitmap image. I did, then I took a screenshot of the image and pasted it where I wanted it (in a different editor). I think it came out smaller dimensionally than it should have. Parts of it, that were supposed to be smooth curves or pretty straight lines were way too jagged. Any tips? Does Gimp use a lossier than necessary algorithm? Do I have to be sure to use the minimum number of perspective adjustments or are things calculated from the original image rather than the most recent lossy adjusted images?

  Please help me out, I cannot get the brush back that can add/remove background
Posted by: dust92 - 02-26-2022, 04:36 AM - Forum: General questions - Replies (4)

I need help with re-creating the situation where I can use a brush to add/remove/refine the background pixels after a foreground selection. When I choose brush, I can only brush colors. When I (re-)choose foreground selection, I can see this lasso and can make a selection but I cannot get the magical brush back that can feather the edges and add/remove background. What am I doing wrong. Three hours, I am sorry for this stupid questions, totally stuck.

  Half image, half transparent?
Posted by: shorte85 - 02-25-2022, 12:26 AM - Forum: General questions - Replies (1)

How would I go about getting my image to be half transparent instead of half image and half white?

I tried applying layer mask to the image layer, and then using the gradient tool but it does half image half white... Where I'd like to to be half glitter and half transparent...

When I applied the layer mask, I chose the black (full transparency) option...

What am I doing wrong to achieve what I'm trying to do?

Thanks for any help. Smile


Never mind, I'm just a bonehead... I didn't realize it was working, but the background layer was white which is why I was seeing "white" instead of transparent... lol I'm all good now... I apologize!

Note to self: Make sure the background layer is either transparent to start with or not white... Ha!

  Rich, I'd like to have an old smoothing plugin
Posted by: Ottia Tuota - 02-24-2022, 08:20 AM - Forum: Extending the GIMP - Replies (9)

Rich, in

https://www.gimp-forum.net/Thread-Roundi...6#pid23626

you mention an old compiled plugin "smooth-path". It may be the same you mention in

http://gimpchat.com/viewtopic.php?f=9&t=17335#p238015

but that link gave me "File not found". Could you please attach it here or give a working link? I am making a plugin of my own and would just want to do some comparison, so if it is difficult please just forget this.
