  Reusing a Save Mask to edit an image
Posted by: gazza - 08-20-2021, 04:50 AM - Forum: Older Gimp versions (2.8, 2.6....) - Replies (1)

Hi
I created a mask on an image that I was working on some time back. I want to use the mask again to rework that image. I exported and save the mask as a .jpeg file and I still have the original image. 
However, when I endeavour to open them, I cannot get the "Mask" to display next to the original image on the same layer as it did when I first created it. 
I read somewhere that holding Ctrl / Shift keys down at the same time would open them together but I cannot make this work. 
I can open them both as stand alone images, or as layers, but not as an Image / Mask.
Could someone please suggest a tutorial that could explain this process or perhaps give me a description of what I need to do and attach to this thread. 
Many Thanks
Gazza

  how do I widen the tool palette on the left?
Posted by: mchahn - 08-19-2021, 12:49 AM - Forum: General questions - Replies (4)

I'm new to gimp.  I can't find out how to widen the tool pane/palette on the left side of the screen.  I hovered over the usual places with no luck.  I need to do this because things are cramped and chopped off.

windows
gimp 2.10.24

  clean document
Posted by: gimptime - 08-18-2021, 09:46 PM - Forum: General questions - Replies (1)

I have old documents which have yellowed and have what appears
to be dirt in different areas which is blotchy.  I have tried using copy
tools, selecting an area which is just yellow and cleaning the darker
areas until they are yellow, it works but it is very time consuming.

Is there a way to remove a layer of dirt like this over the entire
document?

Thanks

Hi,
I have an image I would like to print in big format.
This image is not sharp and shows pixels.
Which tool can I use to sharpen this image so that it looks good on a 61 x 91 cm.
Any help would be appreciated.
Kind regards,

  how to transfer one shape onto another
Posted by: liamlars - 08-17-2021, 04:35 PM - Forum: Older Gimp versions (2.8, 2.6....) - Replies (3)

I need to be able to edit digital images, in following way: original image depicts some object which is not flat. It could be for example a curtain that is hanging disorderly down the window, or a wrinkled tablecloth, or somebody's discarded jeans (mostly, fabrics, hanging loosely or being discarded in a heap). I have another image, of an object which is flat, two dimensional. For example, a drawing of a rose. Or a butterfly. Stuff like that. And I need to transfer this image to the first object in a way that will make it look like it was always there. That is, the otherwise white curtain needs to look like it has roses all over it, jeans need to look like they have various butterflies on them, etc. So, I need the way to capture the shape of the first object, and then to apply the same curvature on my new objects before or during placement. I understand how to do basic image manipulations in Gimp, but the above is really above my pay grade. Could somebody please tell me which tutorial and which part of it deals with that kind of issue? Or point me in the right direction in some other way? Thanks  Smile

  Change cursor size?
Posted by: Chellrose - 08-17-2021, 05:57 AM - Forum: General questions - Replies (2)

I'm running GIMP 2.10 on Ubuntu 21.04 with Cinnamon desktop.  The tool cursor is absolutely huge, though my ordinary cursor is regular-sized.  This seems to be specific to the Cinnamon desktop.  I tried GIMP under the default Ubuntu desktop (Unity?) and the tool cursor was normal size.

Is there a way to adjust cursor size?  I didn't see anything in Preferences.  FWIW, I do not have any special cursor settings/sizes active in Cinnamon itself.

Thanks!

Photo Clone Tool Issues
Posted by: AaronJQL - 08-17-2021, 03:53 AM - Forum: General questions - Replies (4)

Hi,

First-time poster.

I am creating a backdrop for my model layout and have imported the image into GIMP. I am trying to remove certain objects like power poles, lines etc. For some reason when I choose a brush for the tool it does not show up before or during pressing ctrl while holding down my left mouse button. Is there a way to correct this? Normally there would be a dotted circle surrounding the cursor, but it doesn't show it.

Cheers

Aaron

  Drive order in Open/Save dialogs
Posted by: rperlberg - 08-16-2021, 11:44 AM - Forum: General questions - Replies (2)

Under Windows, the "Places" list in the Open/Save dialogs displays the drives in seemingly arbitrary order.  Is there a way to get it to display the drives in drive letter order?
