  Understanding Colors
Posted by: bcripps - 02-12-2022, 04:14 PM - Forum: General questions - Replies (3)

   
I've been Gimping along for a few years now, but never got my head around the Colors drop down selections. Experimenting has just added to my confusion... all those choices, separately or combined, and I never seem to obtain the desired results, particularly with skin tones.
Here's an (extreme), example of a head swap with the complication of skin tone mismatch. The face is light and reddish in complexion. While the shoulders are dark and quite brown. I tried Curves but it would appear I need to adjust the coloring first so they more closely match. How do I get rid of the red? Add brown? Or vice-versa...
I would appreciate any suggestions that will help me better understand Colors.
Much thanks...

  How to manipulate the text to have half gradient or half pattern?
Posted by: shorte85 - 02-10-2022, 10:21 PM - Forum: General questions - Replies (7)

I wasn't really sure where to ask this. So I figured post it in this thread, and go from there.

I tried searching google, but wasn't sure how to go about searching it to get a tutorial on how to achieve this...

But was hoping someone could help me in how I can achieve this, using a gradient or pattern? I tried doing the gradient, but couldn't figure out how to make it apply to the text itself rather than a rectangle overtop of the text. I know I am probably missing a step someplace, but wasn't sure where. And I'm looking to do it horizontally and not veritcally.

Thanks! Smile

  Line art pixelated in GIMP but not in Windows Photos viewer
Posted by: slowdownthere - 02-10-2022, 08:04 PM - Forum: General questions - Replies (2)

Hi Everyone! I'm going crazy figuring out why my seemingly high-res 300dpi images are appearing pixelated in GIMP but sharp in Windows Photos viewer. The pixelation carries through in printing, resulting in a print that is fuzzy and not crisp like the print from Windows Photos.

Attached is an example. The PNG image I'm working on was downloaded from web, 2000x2000 pixels. I've zoomed in to show the dramatic differences from just importing the same image into GIMP. GIMP image size is 2000x2000, 300 ppi, and print size is 8.5x11in. The PNG exported version from GIMP is equally pixelated and is apparent in Windows Photos from the start. 

If Windows Photos was sufficient to print as is, I wouldn't be here. But I want to make changes to the image in GIMP. Can anyone help identify the issue? I'd really appreciate any expertise since I work with black line art mainly and the right image is just not acceptable.

Question When writing text, and hitting enter to go to next line it goes above previous line..
Posted by: shorte85 - 02-10-2022, 07:27 PM - Forum: General questions - Replies (2)

Hello, I was hoping someone could help me? This is something silly and I can't seem to figure it out as to why it keeps happening?

But when I do text in gimp, and I hit enter to go to the next line it goes above the first line of text in the text box. I hope that makes sense? The only way I have figured out how to solve this problem, is making each line a separate text box by itself. But was wondering if maybe I am doing something wrong, and that's what it is causing the text to do this or maybe a setting somewhere I missed in gimp.

I attached a screen shot of what it is doing in gimp. In the picture you'll see that you have to read the text all same text box from the bottom to the top for it to make sense. Otherwise it's backwards in a sense.

Thanks for any help. Much appreciated.

  Turn photo negative to positive image.
Posted by: RealGomer - 02-10-2022, 01:03 AM - Forum: Tutorials and tips - Replies (4)

I've been cleaning out my deceased mother's things and I found some old film negatives. How old? They were taken with a Kodak Brownie camera and the negatives are 2.5" x 3.75", one per picture. It is black & white film. Is there software that will capture these negatives so I can "print" the pictures digitally to share with my brothers? I already have a Canon CanoScan flat bed scanner and GIMP 2.10.30. BTW - Canoscan treats the negative as a negative strip and doesn't capture part of the image. Loverly.

Thank you.

  Changing caracteristics of a filter per default
Posted by: Gypsie38 - 02-09-2022, 03:16 PM - Forum: General questions - Replies (4)

Hi, I use the High pass filter. I wish to change what it proposes per default : Dev Std 7 instead of 4 and contrast 1.1 instead of 1. I suppose it needs to modify "something" but I don't know what neither where.
Thanks for your help
An other question: Using this filter needs several steps. I'd like to have it all with only one click (so a script). But I know absolutly nothing about programing. Could someone help me?
Thanks, Jean Pierre
