  muted colors after PSD conversion
Posted by: LyalC52 - 06-15-2021, 10:40 PM - Forum: General questions - Replies (3)

Hello,
Its been a few months since I've used GIMP (I have the latest version) and never had this problem before.
when I convert a PSD file then try to add color with the bucket or brush the colors are muted.
I can open a previous file and the colors are correct.

pic 2 is supposed to be pure white, pic three the blue is muddy and lighter

  Moving text to a new page

I am trying to add text on top of a pdf, the text keeps moving to its own page when I export. How do I fix? (does this even when text is in a layer group with the background)

  Fore-/Background Color tool very small
Posted by: Ced_ - 06-15-2021, 09:28 PM - Forum: General questions - Replies (1)

Hello, newbie here,

I was setting up Gimp and noticed that the Foreground- and Background Color tool (beneath the toolbox icons) is incredibly small for me.
Is there any way to increase it's size? I found nothing on google about that, just about the size of the toolbox icons.

I use an 1440p monitor. Could it have anything to do with that resolution? Altough, on my second monitor (1080p) the tool is even smaller.

  Layers being moved when exporting to PDF
Posted by: Deanna - 06-14-2021, 03:46 PM - Forum: Older Gimp versions (2.8, 2.6....) - Replies (2)

Hello,

This word is 3 layers. Brownish on top, white for a bit of a 'shadow' (low opacity) and black to set off the white.

I haven't had this mess up like this before and don't know what to do to fix it and export it as I would like it.

Suggestions?  Ideas?   

Thanks!
Deanna

  How to adjust filling pattern
Posted by: snowforest - 06-14-2021, 11:50 AM - Forum: General questions - Replies (2)

If I want to apply gradient filling, it automatically starts from black and goes to white. But I do not want it to start from that dark. How can I adjust the start and finish colors of gradient fill? I see the box but it looks very complex and nothing happens no matter what I do and first of all the escape button doesnt work in gimp.

Once I am done with filling how do I get rid of dashed lines around the selected area? Escape button doesnt work

  Some XCF and PNG exports are bloated
Posted by: GMP - 06-14-2021, 01:47 AM - Forum: General questions - Replies (4)

I'm using 2.10.24 Yesterday after importing 73 meg PNG file into GIMP the XCF file became really bloated -  698 meg and the PNG I exported from this was 397 meg. I think the reason this is occurring is sometimes some pics are too small so I need to scale the layer much higher, sometimes over 100,000 px. Does scaling increase the file size quite a bit? 

When this occurs GIMP is super slow at saving the file or exporting a file.  Recently when this happened I noticed that most of the files I've been creating lately, which are all similar faces swaps, are fairly small XCF files (5-100 meg) and small PNG's (1-35 meg)  are created from the export.

I use Photo Gallery to view my pics and want them to be about the same size for a slide show. After I make changes in GIMP I always open the pic in PhotoWorks, which is a program with some time saving photo correction and altering tools. I then save as a PNG and I open it again in GIMP for final fixes.

As a temporary fix I used the Snipping Tool to create a new PNG file from the  397 meg and it's a small 682 KB PNG file - 500x smaller

I think the PNG file somehow got corrupted. Is there a way to fix a file that opens in GIMP but is corrupted in some way?  or do I just need to use the Snipping Tool? Or can the export the scale the pic larger?

  After typing text, i cannot unselect
Posted by: snowforest - 06-13-2021, 04:50 PM - Forum: General questions - Replies (1)

Lets say I have an image and I type a text on it. After I am done, Its box keeps appearing on the screen with dashed lines. How can I deselect it? Because after that when I draw a line on the image, I cannot, and I can only draw inside the text box, well I am done with the text box but I cannot deselect it. This is very counterintuitive. I even tried to select all with the hope that I will select everything but the text box still keep appearing with its nice dashed lines, and now in addition I cannot deselect what I selected. And escape button seems to do nothing in GIMP. I just started to use gimp and so far it is counterintuitive. All I want is to type a text, deselect it, and draw a line on the other part of the image.

  How to make comic strips in GIMP
Posted by: Brightlightning 85 - 06-13-2021, 08:28 AM - Forum: General questions - Replies (3)

My son and I are keen to try and make a comic strip. The only problem is that neither he nor I are very good at drawing (even though he is better than I am).

I thought that maybe we could use a filter of the type seen in Snapchat to turn photos into cartoons, then to use those images to create a comic strip using GIMP.

Has anyone tried to do anything similar or have any tips as to how it can be done?
