  GIMP seems too dark to me
Posted by: WGz - 07-03-2021, 01:58 PM - Forum: Linux and other Unixen - Replies (2)

Hello,

I previously had a GIMP that seemed quite bright to me and I saw everything more
clearly. After the update from openSUSE_Leap_15.2 to now 15.3, the GIMP appears
much darker, so that I have trouble seeing details.

How/where can I change that?

Thanks for hints.

Greetings, WGz

  Paint Brush stroke with depth
Posted by: meetdilip - 07-03-2021, 12:24 AM - Forum: General questions - Replies (4)

Hi, is it possible to create a brush stroke like this ? The interesting part is that it gives a feel of depth that imitates a real-life brush stroke. Thanks.

[Image: images?q=tbn:ANd9GcT8wDVSRStOpXdxxY9uwox...Q&usqp=CAU]

If possible, something like this, but a multi colour stroke will be great.

  Import Resolution?
Posted by: BringOutTheGIMP - 07-02-2021, 08:55 PM - Forum: General questions - Replies (12)

Hello! I've found my images look better when I import an images resolution higher than 100 pix/in. 

What is an optimal setting for importing an image to not lose quality?

thank you!

  Combine layers
Posted by: didier - 07-02-2021, 09:54 AM - Forum: General questions - Replies (3)

Hi everybody,

I'm quite totally newbie with Gimp.

As a result, I need some trivial help.

I would like to add a texture to an image.
So, I have my image on a layer and a bump (it is something like that, 3D designers call this) in a second layer.

I've selected Addition for layers mode. It results something not so bad, but, naturally, to much colors of the image saturate to white like expected.

In my mind, bump's range should be [ -128, 127 ] to render as wanted.
Unfortunately, I don't see how to do that.

Perhaps, it's not the right method. Don't know.

Thanks to enlighten me.

Have a nice day and enjoy.

Didier.

  Scanner support
Posted by: Ofnuts - 07-01-2021, 10:11 AM - Forum: Linux and other Unixen - Replies (5)

It seems that scanner support in Gimp (ie File ➤ Create ➤ Scan...) just requires the proper scanner software in one of the plugins directory.

On my Ubuntu, for "distro" Gimp, I find that there is a link in /usr/lib/gimp/2.0/plugins to /usr/bin/iscan and that's enough (I can add scanner support to my self- compiled version by adding that same link at the right place).

However iscan looks and functionality leave much to be desired, so is there another app that can act as a Sane scanner for Gimp? I assume it should do the right thing when Gimp calls it for registration?

  Help with a tattoo please.
Posted by: qqqboi person - 06-30-2021, 09:44 PM - Forum: General questions - Replies (2)

[Image: g9YE4DK.png]
I would like to turn this image into an IRAY decal node to place as a tattoo on the back of one of my models, so what I need to do is have like a little bit of black gradient come out from the skull but also end preety close to the skull, like a 100 pixel gradient from the skull out that would turn from black to white to simulate something like a black canvas on the characters skin. That's all.

  Selection and canvas bounds?
Posted by: Ottia Tuota - 06-27-2021, 09:47 AM - Forum: General questions - Replies (10)

Is it possible to have the selection extend outside of the canvas?

In some of my plugins I have the following situation: The plugin works on a path. I want to restrict the effect to some part of the path. For this I use a selection. But a path can go outside of the canvas. Does this mean that anchors outside of the canvas cannot be chosen using a selection?

  Some plugins not working
Posted by: meetdilip - 06-26-2021, 03:35 AM - Forum: General questions - Replies (31)

Hi, I heavily depend on Filters > Edge Detect > Difference of Gaussians (legacy ) to convert images into line art. During the last couple of days ( perhaps a week ), whenever I use this option, the output is a blank canvas.

Then I tried to use bede plugin which worked fine for Artistic > Comic Book for 2.10. Sadly, I am getting this error now

I am using a very early 2.10.25 AppImage and have changed almost nothing in the last 30 - 40 days. I am using the GMIC-QT plugin provided by @rich2005

It would be nice to know how to fix these. Thanks.

Edit : Looks like I have set GMIC to auto update " Weekly ". Is that what is causing the current issue ?

Edit 2 : I replaced the GMIC QT plugin (gmic_gimp_qt-298) which I got from this website to .config > gmic and turned off the GMIC auto updates. But even then both the filters are not working.

  Black and white squares remain after layer is hidden.
Posted by: Sarthak Ghule - 06-25-2021, 09:04 AM - Forum: General questions - Replies (1)

Hi,

I'm a novice in Gimp, so, sorry if the question is too dumb.

I added a layer in Gimp. After I clicked the hide layer button, the layer is vanished but what remains is something with black and white squares as shown in the image below. I want it to vanish, too i.e I want a complete blank background.

Thank you.
