  Is it possible to smooth the edges of a font?
Posted by: jbeezy - 07-13-2021, 05:44 AM - Forum: General questions - Replies (1)

I love this font but I do not love the wavy edges. Is there a way to sharpen it up in gimp?

  Import CR3 using rawtherapee plugin
Posted by: stosh - 07-13-2021, 03:33 AM - Forum: General questions - Replies (1)

I am trying to import Canon R5 CR3 files into GIMP - my understanding is I needed to install the newest Rawtherapee 5.8 plugin (which I did).

When I try the import into GIMP all I get is a giant white square with no picture.

So I tried opening Rawtherapee directly - the preview thumbnails look great - but when I click on one it also becomes just a white rectangle.

Am I doing something wrong? Is there a setting I have to set?

Also - what is the best method - directly pulling into GIMP using the Rawtherapee plugin or using Rawtherapee itself as a stand-alone and exporting it as a TIFF and then importing that into GIMP? I want to retain as much data from the RAW file as I can.

Thanks in advance

  Gimp Font & Mode and Opacity Box size.
Posted by: daiappy - 07-12-2021, 09:37 PM - Forum: General questions - Replies (2)

   
    Hi - can anyone help? I don't know what the names of these Gimp parts of the toolbox are called that I've circled in red.  Does anyone know how to make the Font and the Mode & Opacity boxes larger, like you can enlarge the tool icon sizes and the interface themes found in preferences. I use them a lot and they are so small I keep adjusting them the wrong way with the mouse. I read somewhere a thread on this subject from five years ago but it didn't seem to have a clear answer. Has someone found how to make them larger since then, please?                Charles.

  Batch Crop Folder
Posted by: Poorman65 - 07-11-2021, 07:56 PM - Forum: Installation and usage - Replies (5)

I have a collection of png images that are rendered for an animation. I need to crop them down to 1920x1080, and need to be able to do it as a command that gets automatically executed when my image rendering is completed.

I'm not sure if there is a straight-forward way to simply run Gimp with options to take advantage of the built-in cropping, or if there is some reason that a separate script is required. 

I have been searching for the solution to this, but haven't been able to find something that works. It is difficult to know if the things I am finding are outdated or not. I did find a batch-crop scm that apparently should do it, but I get an error trying to run it. I've never used a Gimp script, so I may just be using it incorrectly.

  pencial sketch printing as blue instead of grey
Posted by: her24gl - 07-10-2021, 06:31 PM - Forum: General questions - Replies (6)

I had an artist make me a drawing in pencil. She scanned it in and created a png file of it in photoshop. I opened it in Gimp and accepted the default conversion.  When it opens, it looks like it should on the screen.  But when i print it out, it prints in shades of blue instead of grey.  When i open it in windows picture manager and print it on the same printer, it prints properly (shades of grey).  Is there something else i need to do to get Gimp to print it appropriately?  My apologies, as I am very new to Gimp.

TIA!

  Pasting an object onto a background
Posted by: rosm2004 - 07-09-2021, 08:49 PM - Forum: General questions - Replies (5)

Hi,

First time user here and pretty new to Gimp.

I have a bit of a perplexing problem.
I have created an object with a transparent background, which I want to paste against other backgrounds.

When I paste him as a new layer over a solid color, such as magenta, he looks fine.

But when I paste him over a complex background, such as a park, he looks semi-transparent! In other words, the background is showing through the pasted object.
The opacity of the pasted layer is at 100%.

I had made a similar cutout  of a different pose and pasted him on another background without this problem.

Can anybody tell me what I'm doing wrong?


Please help! I need to get this done today!

  Help aditing a picture.
Posted by: TeckyWalla - 07-09-2021, 06:05 PM - Forum: General questions - Replies (3)

New to Gimp and have search for, including a Youtube that will solve my dilemma for the easiest way to do it.
I have gone through the process of removing a background of a picture using Gimp Workshop and saved as a .PNG file.
There are a couple of items missing that were covered by a another object, but I have the said objects in another picture file that is exactly what I need.
Could someone steer me to the best tutorial, or youtube vid. that explains the way to remove from one and paste into the first.
I can't seem to find a decent description or preferred way of removing the object from one file and placing in another.
I have the copy of the Ultimate GIMP Guide 2.10.
Sorry for the newbie question. Sad

  How to make a solid black bar fade out?
Posted by: R3XXY - 07-09-2021, 01:22 PM - Forum: General questions - Replies (7)

HI everyone, I'm trying to make a solid black bar at the bottom of a layer to use as a backgrond for text. I'd like the black bar to fade out vertically, but I can't find a way to make a nice smooth fade. I've tried using the Graident tool but the fade out is much too sudden, not a nice gradual fade.

I want to then save that as a project so I can just add in new images and text.

Can anyone help?

TIA

I got a message saying that I already reached the upload limit ( ~ 5MB ). I am not sure this is something that can be adjusted. Thought of asking here. Thanks.
