  Output positioning options used by Gimp when printing to CUPS
Posted by: raccarva - 01-18-2022, 12:38 PM - Forum: General questions - Replies (3)

I am trying to figure out what CUPS (or would it be lpd/lpr?) printing options Gimp uses to set the output position when you print an image.
When you set the Left/Top fields in the "Position" print dialog tab, I guess Gimp uses some job printing options through CUPS/lpd/lpr to adjust the output image on the media. 
I need this information so that I can try to print images (outside Gimp) in the same position regardless of the printer being used.

Does anyone have this information?

Thanks.

Bug Single Dose - Glossy stroke 3d.py
Posted by: Krikor - 01-18-2022, 10:54 AM - Forum: Extending the GIMP - Replies (22)

Hello everyone!

Plugin: glossy_stroke_3d.py; (I don't remember where I got it)
Author Eric Leroy;
Date: 2010;

Problem:
The plugin only works once for every Gimp restart.

After a single use, the plugin stops responding. Requiring the Gimp to be restarted so that in just one more instance the plugin will run again.

The plugin can be found in <Image>/Filters/Light and Shadow

Would it be possible to detect the cause of this problem and somehow fix it?

  How to move text?
Posted by: nothing - 01-18-2022, 05:54 AM - Forum: General questions - Replies (2)

There are two layers. One is a background image and another one is text. The text is above the image. Every time I move the text with the move tool, the image is moved mostly. 
It works sometimes, but not mostly. Why does it happen and how do I figure it out?

Wink Width of the boundary area
Posted by: saitoib - 01-18-2022, 12:53 AM - Forum: General questions - Replies (2)

Hi all.

I am trying to use the Gimp to create icons for CAD.
Icns for CAD are very  small, 16 or 32 pix, and often linear.
First, I drew the desired shape in CAD, reproduced this as a png shape of about 500 pix, and
then reduced the layer to 32 pix in Gimp.
However, it doesn't work because the color boundaries are blurred.
Is there any way to ajust the width of the boundary when shrinking the layer?

Thank you

Question GIMP 2.10.30 none of tools work anymore
Posted by: alain.roger - 01-17-2022, 03:05 PM - Forum: General questions - No Replies

Hi,

I have a weird situation.
I just discovered that under my ubuntu 21.10, none of GIMP tools (select, gradient, etc..) work anymore.
It's like all of them are here (not greyed) but do nothing on canvas or image.

Any idea what it could be ?

thx


I had to remove .conf/GIMP and .cache/gimp and reinstall gimp to make it works again

Question gimprc not working
Posted by: pago159 - 01-17-2022, 12:55 PM - Forum: General questions - Replies (1)

Hello,
I am currently trying to package Gimp 2.10.30. One of the defaults is that no automatic updates are allowed. In the process I have the file gimprc under the following path:
C:\Program Files\GIMP 2\etc\gimp\2.0\gimprc
came to mind. However, in the user context all the settings I made are ignored. Why does this file have no effect? According to the introductory description, settings can be specified centrally in this file.

  Transparency when resize.
Posted by: nothing - 01-17-2022, 08:02 AM - Forum: General questions - Replies (2)

Every time I resize a layer, I can't see the bottom layer. 
For instance: There are Layer 1 and Layer 2. The Layer 2 is over the Layer 1. I resize the Layer 2 and can't see the Layer 1, so I can't resize the Layer 2 whatever I want. 
Is there a way to make the upper layer transparent?

  Size/Opacity
Posted by: snowhawk - 01-16-2022, 10:50 PM - Forum: General questions - Replies (1)

Hey, I am on version 20.10.30. I need to know how to adjust pen pressure for size/opacity at the same time, like Photoshop. How do I adjust the new brush dynamic? I don't see any way to edit brushes (new ones) .. I can change thing in the mapping matrix for a new brush, but it didnt change anything, even when I adjusted the curve.

So basically, how do you adjust pen pressure for size/opacity at the same time.

Thanks.

  Overlaying image with brand colour
Posted by: beau_mash - 01-16-2022, 09:37 PM - Forum: General questions - Replies (1)

Hi there, please help!

I run a charity and our branding centres around a distinctive coral colour we used in all our images. Previously we've used Photoshop / InDesign for this, making a photo greyscale, then turning up the contrast, and finally layering it with that coral (see photo attached for an example).

I love the ethos of GIMP and would like us to move to it, but I can't quite achieve the same effect. I can do the greyscale and contrast steps just fine (I think), but when I've created a layer in our coral colour and made it part opaque the outcome is different. I'm sure there will be a way to do it, but I'm not sure what layer / mask effect I should be using.

Any help is gratefully received! Many thanks
