Hello everybody,

I recently tried to set up the XP-Pen Deco 01 Tablet for GIMP. With the setup tool "PenTabletSetting" I can see that drivers are installed correctly and pressure sensitivity works. The pressure sensitivity also works with the app "artRage Lite".

However, when using the tablet with GIMP, the pressure sensitivity does not work. Moving the cursor and drawing lines etc. via the tablet works well. I did some research and tried every solution approach I could find (restart, reinstalling GIMP & tablet driver, different settings for the entry "input devices"). I set the input devices to mode "screen" and tried the dynamic "Pressure Size".

I found a similar problem here:
https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gimp/-/issues/2390
But when using the provided library, I cannot start GIMP anymore (probably because it was developed for an outdated version).

I am using GIMP 2.10.24.

Maybe someone knows another approach I can try?

Thanks in advance!

Hello,

I have tried with what I know, and have searched how to do what should be a fairly simple task yet no success.

I have a panorama image in the middle of the canvas.  I want to fill the lower transparent portion with a solid color.
Could somebody please tell me the tool option settings to do this with something like the bucket tool?  Once I have the solid color below my image I will want to erase the sky portion of my actual image to leave that area transparent.

Appreciate any help!

I've noticed something strange with gimp text layers. If I scale a text layer then it is converted to a raster layer what is normal. When I want to edit this text it is converted to a text layer what is also normal. After the conversion the layer is referred as a text layer (text layer icon in the layer dock). Now I want to change all the font in all the font layers. I have found a few plugins to do the job, in they work fine except that the layers that were converted from scaled layers don't change after using the plugin (both used). Apparently these layers are not recognised as text layers by this plugins. The other layers were converted according to the values entered in the plugin menu. Is a converted layer (text to raster / raster to text) not the same as a normal typed in text layer?
Used plugins :

I used to have the tool options on the left of my screen. It disappeared this afternoon, reasons unknown. I clicked on every plausible menu item and could not find a way to restore. I clicked everyone on the screen and just menu. The problem escalated when I had mutliple pictures I wanted to edit, which used to be at the top of my screen and now are not.

I thought sure that uninstalling GIMP and then reinstalling would fix things, but it did not. Even uninstalling and then downloading the newest version of GIMP did not work.

Eliminated the single screen came close but was too much trouble.

I tried to search the internet for an answer, but I have no idea what the correct key words should be. I tried searching this forum, same problem.

Using GIMP 2.10

I have a colour photo and what to convert the background to greyscale but having trouble doing this. The current process I have followed is:
Duplicate image
Desaturate duplicate
Add layer mask (white opacity)

I am working on the greyscale image and have tried using the paintbrush and the easer to bring the colour of the background image through but it hasn't worked.

TIA

Thanks !

I'm running Mac OS 12.0.1 and gimp 10.2.28 I have been using bevel for many different applications. In past versions, it would appear that bevel stops working, I download a new version and it works again. I spent about 3 hours using this intermittently while creating new designs. No issues. Next day, I open gimp, bevel works twice, then stops. I download 10.2.28 again and it works for 2 images, then stops. I delete gimp from the computer in total, dl the same version again, install it, and nothing. Bevel refuses to work. I really need this to work for the designs I Crete. Any ideas or suggestions?

Hello!

I was trying to use the 360 panorama filter but the result image shows only part of it, I looked at the docs page and it only says to make an image with the actual size of what my panorama will be, but that's it, it doesn't say anything else, if anybody can please help me out with this one.

Thank you all in advance!

I'm making wallpapers for my Kindle 3, and in Photoshop, when I export a PNG using the Kindle palette, the image displays correctly on the Kindle.

But when I export an indexed PNG from GIMP, the colours in the image are all wrong. Opening the resulting PNG in Aseprite shows the palette colours to be in a completely random order than the palette I provided.


I can then correct this in Aseprite by converting to RGB, sorting the pallete in decending luminance, converting back to Indexed mode and then exporting the PNG.

But I was wondering if I could save myself these extra steps in an external program and just have GIMP respect the original palette when saving the PNG?

I'm trying to automate product image creation with a print placed over several templates to achieve same result as this https://www.redbubble.com/i/t-shirt/Visi...6117.EIU9L (and tons of other) sites have.

At the moment everything's being done in Photoshop semi-automatically, but I believe that sites like that have this automated, since there are so many different product images for a single print.

Basically what I'm trying to achieve is to create all those images based on a single print image and multiple template images, ideally also creating a PSD file for each print-template pair so that the designer could manipulate layers by hand if the need arises.

From what I've learned GIMP has pretty powerful automation options, but doesn't have all the functions that are there in Photoshop, for instance smart objects which are used in the current workflow. So I need your advice regarding whether these steps can be somehow reproduced using GIMP's existing functionality to the same effect, and is it actually possible to automate such task completely so it is ran on a server as a part of product creation in CMS. At first I thought OpenCV lib is the way to go, but seems like multiple complex shape transformations for a ton of different templates is something that seems like near-impossible task there, so GIMP is a main option I'm considering right now.

Here are the steps that are taken in Photoshop. I'm translating what designer wrote, sorry in advance if I mess up some terminology since I have rather sketchy knowledge of image manipulation.

1. The initial template, the print will be overlayed on it


2. Here's the separate print image


3. Smart object (white rectangle) which will contain the print, and some layers on top of it that have shadows and effects


4. Smart object is being transformed to match template's product shape -- here's the first tricky part which raises questions. Is it possible to recreate such complex transformation shape in GIMP and is possible to tie it to the template file, so that print takes different shapes when overlayed on different templates?


5. Smart object's modified to contain print image -- here's another thing which is not yet clear how to do in GIMP and if it even possible to achieve the same effect. From what I can get I need to insert print image in different places for each template, it has to be of slightly different sizes and have the aforementioned shape transformation for each template separately.


6. And then other images can be made by changing the contents of smart-object


So, to reiterate my question, can I reproduce the same workflow in GIMP and make it completely automatic?
