  GMic-Qt error during gimp startup
Posted by: denzjos - 09-24-2021, 02:14 PM - Forum: General questions - Replies (2)

After installing gimp 2.10.28 I get an error with GMic-Qt (see image). Is a clean install from gimp and GMic-Qt the only way to solve the problem? I have already done a clean install from GMic-Qt but the problem still exist.  
   
Translated (my windows10 OS is Dutch) : Entrypoint from procedure _ZdaPv not found in DLL-file D:\GMic_gimp_qt\Qt5Gui.dll.
I have done a clean install in the folder that GMic_Qt initially suggested (C: drive) but I get the same error.

  Use mouse scroll to change tool size by 50% only
Posted by: einstein - 09-23-2021, 07:01 PM - Forum: General questions - Replies (12)

Hello,

In GIMP preferences I always set my mouse scroll to change brush size relative (by percent).
When I go to:
Preferences > Input Devices > Input Controllers > Mouse Wheel > Main Mouse Wheel > Configure Input Controller > Scroll Up > Select Controller Event Action,
I set it to:
Tool's Size: Increase Relative.

Analogously, I do with Scroll Down, to decrease tool size.

Thing is, it changes the tool size twice, so 100%. I'd love to be able to change my tool's size only by 50%.
Is it possible?

  Nothing works after upgrading to Gimp 2.10.28
Posted by: alain.roger - 09-23-2021, 05:53 PM - Forum: General questions - Replies (4)

Hi,

on ubuntu 21.04 I just got an update of GIMP to v 2.10.28.
Since them it's like my tools (whatever crop, selection, fill with color, etc..) nothing is working on current unlock and visible layer.

I tried to create another new layer and to crop it... nothing
I create another document with a new layer and tried to fill with foreground color...nothing ...

I uninstalled it and reinstall it...
nothing changed


Any idea what it could be ?
It's weird as before with 2.10.26 It worked well Sad

thx

  Padding Color Shortcuts
Posted by: akovia - 09-23-2021, 02:49 PM - Forum: General questions - Replies (9)

Would it be possible to have shortcuts to set the padding to a specific color with or without a plugin?

I am constantly checking for flaws by viewing images against both black and white padding and would like a quicker way to do so. I already have shortcuts to set custom color and return to theme default, but it is still plenty of clicks and mouse drags to set the custom colors.

Just checking if this is something really involved, or easily doable.

Thanks!

  Moving face
Posted by: denzjos - 09-23-2021, 02:05 PM - Forum: Tutorials and tips - Replies (2)

Just a little exercise to see how the displacement map is working. I've used a photo from a wooden sculpture. Made a new transparent layer and color some grey tones areas (select and fill the selection), blurred the layer (Filters / Blur / Gaussian Blur) and used the 'Filters / Map / Displace' to make some transformations. Then export (File / Export as...) the converted layers and the original photo layer is a gif file.

  Can't open as layers
Posted by: mandybb - 09-23-2021, 10:57 AM - Forum: General questions - Replies (1)

hi, ok i'm new here. but i just started using gimp to make gifs and when I was initially making my gifs using open as layers for my frames it was working but suddenly it doesn't work anymore and whenever i try to open my images as layers it looks like this instead. 
and i have no idea what it is I'm doing wrong, so if anyone knows that'd be a great help (to clarify the images I'm using are all png files)

  Meta Data comparison
Posted by: Foxbat25 - 09-22-2021, 08:53 AM - Forum: General questions - Replies (2)

Hi:
I take a few hundred photos at various sporting events.
I was wondering if there was a way to compare some of the items in the meta data
I'd like to know lets say the avg focal length of the lens
Can I view maybe the meta data from 10 photos uploaded to an excel spread sheet and do a sort?
Thanks

  2.10.28
Posted by: meetdilip - 09-21-2021, 11:08 AM - Forum: Windows - Replies (3)

Hi, do you think I should update my 2.10.24  (setup from GIMP.org) to 2.10.28 ? If yes, how to do that ?

I am not sure whether I should. Because everything (including plugins) is working perfectly right now.

  Colors changing ... by themselves?
Posted by: Gimpy. - 09-21-2021, 09:39 AM - Forum: General questions - Replies (3)

I'm selecting a color using the eye dropper. Then changing the color of a small area to the picked color. This was working fine until recently! However now it isn't working. Guessing that I may have changed a setting inadvertently while adjusting the image with the options given in the 'colors' tab of the menu? So, now, when the eye dropper picks #ecb377, the 'fill the foreground' command is painting #f5bb7c! I haven't been able to find out what the issue is and would appreciate ideas for solving this. The picture has several levels (variants of same image) and currently am not able to ensure the same colors are being used on all the levels.

  Cropping tool
Posted by: Marscaleb - 09-21-2021, 03:23 AM - Forum: General questions - Replies (4)

There are a dozen and a half things with GIMP 2.10 that are driving me up the wall, but to be reasonable here I'm just going to have to bring them up separately as they come up.

Okay, I was using the crop tool, I dragged out a box, decided that I shouldn't crop this, and thus clicked a different tool.
And GIMP cropped my image.

WHAT IN THE HOLY HELL IS GOING ON HERE?!
At what point EVER is it a reasonable idea to have a tool impact an image WHEN I EXPLICTLY TELL IT TO NOT USE THAT TOOL?!?!
What kind of backwards design is this?
If I select a paint brush tool and then select a different tool would it be reasonable to expect the paintbrush to suddenly draw all over my image?  Of course not.  So why is the crop tool cropping my image when I EXPLICITLY TAKE ACTION TO NOT HAVE MY IMAGE BE CROPPED?!

This is the most asinine design I have ever seen in a program, and I use Microsoft products.

How exactly am I supposed to NOT have my image crop if I ever select this tool?
I mean for f***'s sake, not even counting just when I change my mind once I actually can see a box at a specified aspect ratio, what if I selected that tool by mistake and drew out a box over a tiny section of my image?  I would be able to clearly see the mistake, but yet it is utterly IMPOSSIBLE to simply cancel the action?  I HAVE to actually crop my image and un-do?  What kind of sense does that make?  Even if there was some one person out there who managed to find this useful, why can't I disable this backwards design?
