Photo Polaroid Effect
Posted by: richiie - 02-14-2022, 02:47 PM - Forum: General questions - Replies (3)

Hey Gimp fam,

Hope yall are doing great. I am working on adding a polaroid effect to a set of pictures I took similar to the one below.

https://drive.google.com/file/d/1eSYQC8N6tACs9zQjs44Gsx2EPMuUqQbT/view?usp=sharing

However, I would like to change the text on the side of the borders "KODAK PORTRA..." to my artist handle "VISUALS BY RICH" while still maintaining the font, glow, etc.

Can y'all please give me the steps on how to do this.

Thanks and happy Vday, my heart goes out to all of you Smile

  35mm negative scanning
Posted by: nova - 02-13-2022, 03:30 PM - Forum: General questions - Replies (12)

Newbie here.

Just started using Gimp after loosing use of old PS program and am trying to enlarge a 35mm B/W negative that was scanned in from a 600 dpi Canon.  I know, it's a cheapie but that's all I have.

Have not been able (so far) to figure out the 'canvas size' and 'image size' in order to enlarge it to at least 4" x 6", 5" x 7" or 8" x 10".

Also having trouble adjusting levels/curves/etc. to get the image looking better.

Thank you in advance and I feel sure I'll be back with more questions.

  How To Mark Trails... ?
Posted by: abrogard - 02-12-2022, 09:33 PM - Forum: General questions - Replies (4)

I want to mark these trails.   Doing it via the mouse is very tedious and awful result.

Don't have one of those pen boards right now but I did have they were pretty useless, too. Mainly because the picture was on the screen but the stylus is on the board.

Do they make one now that is touch screen like a smartphone,  so's the stylus is actually on the picture?
If they do that would be wonderful, as long as it doesn't cost an arm and a leg.

Or is it now a smartphone app?

Failing all of the above can anyone suggest a best method for me to mark these traiils? When I say 'mark' them I mean trace the whole trail, effectively making a map on that layer.

  Is it possible to deliverately bring discolored tone color to image ?
Posted by: ldd2 - 02-12-2022, 06:43 PM - Forum: General questions - Replies (2)

Greetings guys.

I have an image fan art that I have previously printed with glossy photo paper. This image was kept in a locker for about 2 years in overall 10-20° C and didn't even touch it. The fact is this print got discolored over time and now has this very interesting color looking for me... I would really appreciate to know if there's some way to bring this same or similar color looking from the physical printed image but with it's digital version through GIMP or image editor tools.


https://imgur.com/a/Soqt0yI  
(First image is the digital original version VS the other 3 that have it's current looking after being 2 years in a relatively closed up furniture and it was affected by air/ambient humidity)

I have attempted to do some testings through color image tools from GIMP v2.10 but got no luck in getting something remotely close. I may really appreciate the help. Thanks.

  Scanning directly into GIMP 2.10.24
Posted by: sonnystarks - 02-12-2022, 06:27 PM - Forum: General questions - Replies (8)

Ok folks, I'm a noobie so please go easy on me??? Know that I would not be posting this question without first doing the research first, as you will see below.I am using the Brother MFC-J491DW Wi-FI printer/scanner.

I have Ubuntu 21.10 Impish distro and to accomplish my task, reading told me to download and install XSane (ver. 0.999) and quiteinsaneplugin-0.3. All the pages I read tell me to merely "copy the (plugin) files" to GIMP's plug-ins folder and it should work now.

Firstly, which files? quiteinsanegimpplugin comes with three different layers of files (Admin/quiteinsanegimpplugin and 19 loose files not in a folder. One of those files in the README file which says "Please see quiteinsanegimpplugin/docs/en/index.html" which no longer exists.)

Secondly, copy them to where? GIMP 2.10.24 has no obvious Plug-ins folder that I can find after much research online (Why doesn't the GIMP User Manual have a "Search" function? Obviously, it's just not practical to have to wade through hundreds of pages to find a simple search term.).

Okay, back to the net where I find http://www.fifi.org/doc/xsane/html/sane-...p-doc.html which seems to be uselessly outdated as it is assuming I am using gimp-1.2.x: with the commands to: 

Quote:ln -s /usr/local/bin/xsane ~/.gimp-1.2/plug-ins/
You can start xsane from the GIMP menu File/Acquire.

It talks about "creating a symbolic link" to a USR/local/bin/xsane ~/. .gimp/plug-ins/ which, though I haven't yet learned how to do but can look it up if absolutely necessary to accomplish the task. However...
Folks, I am a photographer and graphic artist. Do I really need to be a computer programmer too to accomplish what should be a simple task? Is there truly any easier way to just get GIMP to see my scanner. XSane does.

  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...
Bry
