  Schannel Event ID 36887 Error
Posted by: Mr Wolf - 03-31-2021, 03:27 PM - Forum: Windows - Replies (5)

Hi all!
I noticed two errors in my Event Viewer regarding Schannel with Event ID 36887, one with error:
Fatal alert received: 40
and the other one with error:
Fatal alert received: 70

After some investigations, I discovered they seem related to Gimp: I get those errors whenever I start Gimp, but, oddly enough, in the computer in which I noticed them first, I also get them at boot.

I'm running Gimp 2.10.22 on Windows 7 64 bit.

I also tried to install Gimp 2.10.22 on another machine with Windows 7 64 bit and I get the same error, but only with code 40 and only when I start Gimp, but not at boot.

I don't have the same errors on a machine with Windows 10 64 bit.

I made some searches, but I haven't well understood the meaning of those errors. Perhaps Gimp is trying to connect to some server to find updates?

Did anyone notice those errors, too?

Thanks in advance.

  Flip Book
Posted by: meetdilip - 03-31-2021, 01:34 PM - Forum: Other graphics software - Replies (14)

Hi, I am not sure this is the right place to ask. How do you meet your Flipbook needs ? Is there any FOSS software to do it ?

I need it sparingly, 2-3 books at the maximum. If there is any safe and reliable option, do share. Thanks.

  How can I leave a selection as is when I change layer?
Posted by: makois - 03-30-2021, 02:03 PM - Forum: General questions - Replies (4)

I'm a beginner at GIMP living in Japan Smile 

Normally, If you make a selection then change the current layer, the selection remains.
However, If you make a selection of the whole layer(Ctrl+A)(A) then change the current layer(A to B), the selection changes to the changed layer's whole size(B).
How can I leave the selection size as is?
( Please see the attached image. )

Environment:

  • Gimp 2.10.14
  • macOS Catalina

  Merging images, applying color saving in color and in black & white?
Posted by: tudvari - 03-30-2021, 05:12 AM - Forum: Scripting questions - Replies (6)

I'm making achievements for my game, and I would like to make an automated process to save a lot of time instead of doing it manually.

So I'd like to make a GIMP script doing this for me Big Grin But I'm complete noobie with it. Could you help me please?

The inputs of this process would be

  • one rectangular opaque background image (i.e. 200x200 PNG)
  • Color A, (i.e. in hex)
  • Color B, (i.e. in hex)
  • and multiple same sized, rectangular, transparent foreground images. (i.e. 200x200 PNG)

And the process would do this for every foreground image:
  1.  Start with the background image.
  2.  Merge the foreground image with Color A filter applied, and also with an offset from the middle.
  3.  Merge the foreground image with Color B filter applied, in the middle.
  4.  Save the result in a file.
  5.  Apply a black & white filter and save the result in a file.
So the output would be for example multiple 200x200 PNG images, each of it having a colored and a black & white version

Could you help me please? Smile

Posted by: andrew2068 - 03-30-2021, 12:44 AM - Forum: General questions - Replies (1)

I tried printing something i was working on when gimp print window stopped responding.  I restarted gimp and now I cant open any file in gimp  including xcf files. 
 this is what it says when i try to open  any xcf file. 

 Opening 'C:\Users\leeho\OneDrive\Pictures\CATOLOG CONES PAGE.xcf' failed:

GIMP XCF image plug-in could not open image

 jpgs. :
Opening 'C:\Users\leeho\OneDrive\Pictures\catolog vents page.jpg' failed:

JPEG image plug-in could not open image

pdf: 
Opening 'C:\Users\leeho\OneDrive\Pictures\CATOLOG vents PAGE.pdf' failed:

Could not load 'C:\Users\leeho\OneDrive\Pictures\CATOLOG vents PAGE.pdf': PDF document is damaged


it seems every file I worked on  with gimp no mater the format it was saved in will no longer open.  I tried sending to a flash drive so i could open it on another computer  but  I keep getting an error  " cloud file provider not running"     I even tried opening older files built using gimp on a different machine and transferred to this one via flash drive this is the notice  i receive:
Hmmm… can't reach this page
It looks like the webpage at file:///C:/Users/leeho/OneDrive/Pictures/CATOLOG%20CONES%20PAGE.pdf might be having issues, or it may have moved permanently to a new web address.
ERR_FAILED

I tried Updating,  uninstalling and reinstalling  ect.  nothing!   please help

Exif, XMP, IPTC

What are these values which prompt to get added to when exporting a file as PNG ? Is it safe to keep them ticked ? Any private info will be added ? Thanks.

  Automatically converting new tiff to jpg
Posted by: schuttp - 03-27-2021, 04:25 PM - Forum: Extending the GIMP - Replies (1)

Hi Everyone!

I work for a museum, Sharlot Hall Museum, which has a large archive of historical photos stored in tiff format and we want to be able to convert them "on the fly" to .jpg format while at the same time adding a watermark that protects our copyright on the images.  Is it possible to create a script on our Windows Domain Server, or could be on a dedicated PC as well, that would automatically convert a any new new tiff files to a jpg and save it in another folder?  

Thanks for your assistance!

  Reproduce a cover page
Posted by: Missidi971 - 03-27-2021, 04:20 PM - Forum: General questions - Replies (4)

Hello !
 
I am trying to reproduce a cover page, in order to have a clean and crisp effect and replace the one I tore. When printing the copy I own, the image is quite faint with no glow.

Is this feasible or impossible for a beginner?
 
I tried GIMP, but it's quite complicated to understand.
I put you a piece of the cover page in picture, in order to have an idea

Thanks

  Set layer color based on other layers
Posted by: Hellcolik - 03-27-2021, 12:04 PM - Forum: General questions - Replies (3)

Hello, this is my first post here ; I'm wondering what are the limits of Gimp without using external python scripts.

I have two layers in a project:

  • the back layer is a picture on which I applied a Gaussian blur filter ;
  • the front layer in only a text.
I would like the text layer to change depending on where it is above the back layer. For instance, I would like to order it : "to set the color of this pixel of yours, look at the color of the pixels on the layer behind you, centered at the same location, take the negative of that color and apply it to yourself".

What are the tools/menus I need to be familiar with in order to perform such a task? I would be able to do this with a python script however, I only want to use Gimp.

Thanks in advance, I'm looking forward to reading your answers.
