  Any idea why GIMP has a custom menu for opening and saving files?
Posted by: THX 1138 4EB - 04-11-2021, 01:16 AM - Forum: General questions - Replies (2)

Most or maybe even all other software I use on Windows has a familar window for opening or saving files whilst GIMP seems to use something custom which lacks the features the standard window has like the pinned quick access shortcuts or the view options which let me preview images of each file simultaneously. It sure would be nice if GIMP would drop its custom effort and use whatever it that I presume Microsoft has provided for programs to use to access files and folders. Does anyone know why GIMP uses this custom-coded window? It makes selecting the right images to open slow and error-prone.

  change a layer while keeping another
Posted by: Chris - 04-10-2021, 02:39 PM - Forum: General questions - Replies (8)

I have a photo (of a big sunflower head) and a mathematical figure (many big red dots). The photo is somewhat distorted and needs transforming by trial and error, to have the dots fit on top of it. Making one layer transparant is no solution because fuzzy views won't do. Nothing I tried so far with GIMP allows to manually adapt the photo (Perspective, say) while the layer on top of it remains unchanged as if on a glass plate.

  How do I darken lines, text in a map and dim/white out the grey block stuff for print
Posted by: veek - 04-10-2021, 02:14 PM - Forum: General questions - Replies (2)

[Image: JgLrHfp.png]
So I want the red squiggle areas to be whitened/dimmed to save on toner and I want the text and lines/roads highlighted/black/darkened. It's to be printed on a laser Black and White/Grayscale printer.


I tried converting to grayscale and printing but the gray block areas don't print all that great and the text and lines look subdued because 'Yellow Road' looks slightly grey and merges with the block areas.

What should I do? I tried https://np.reddit.com/r/GIMP/comments/e8...n_old_map/ but it didn't do what I wanted - it darkens the whole image/fiddling with the Levels/Curves

  sharpen up a pdf ?
Posted by: abrogard - 04-09-2021, 10:02 AM - Forum: General questions - Replies (8)

I just downloaded a sewing machine manual pdf and it is very faint.

 Is there some smart little app which will enable gimp to run through all 35 pages of it and automatically raise the contrast or darken up the lines, somehow make it more legible?

I'll attach a sample page

  Export paths similar to ofn-export-layers.py
Posted by: Krikor - 04-08-2021, 04:18 PM - Forum: Extending the GIMP - Replies (8)

Hi,

Is there a plug-in similar to ofn-export-layers.py but that unlike this would export the paths instead of the layers?

I want to export the customs fonts paths to use with fontForge.
The only way I know is to export each path one by one.

Thx.

  Use Gimp Online to edit an image in Google Photos
Posted by: dcarbonell - 04-08-2021, 06:53 AM - Forum: General questions - Replies (2)

Hi, I was wondering if it is possible to use Gimp Online to edit online, on the fly, a photo in Google Photos, so you don't need to download it in order to work with it.

If I use the right-click context menu in Chrome Gimp Onlime, I can indeed edit a copy of the photo, but I can't find the way to actually update the copy stored in Google Photos. 

Thanks in advance!

  Semi-transparent background with a gradient.
Posted by: Mixxer - 04-07-2021, 08:35 AM - Forum: General questions - Replies (17)

Hi

I have a semi-transparent background with a black gradient circle in the middle. The circle is solid in the middle and gets more transparent as it goes towards the edges. How do I make the background totally transparent without loosing the gradient soft edges? Cutting around won't work. I tried the magic wander but it for some reason selects the whole image. Thanks
