Hi,

the attached image shows the difference I see between the photo that I'm editing, and the preview on the print plug-in.

That in the print preview is much closer to what comes out of the printer.

As shown in the attached screenshot, the color management option 'Proof Colors' is enabled.

How could I make the Edit version look the same as that in the print Preview? 

Thanks,
 Rodrigo

Hi, what is the best way to create a splash in GIMP ? Something like this but which we can customise. This one is an image to .gbr conversion. It would be nice to know how to adjust the core size, splash spread and sharpness etc. Thanks

   

Hi

Im trying to blend an image from two sides but cannot figure out how

I have a main background image, and then a smaller one in the center of it which id like to blend from both sides so its not so aburpt.

I can use the blend tool to soften one edge but cannot do the other?

ver2.10.22
From other posts on this subject I have noted that the UI font size can be changed for the theme you use by editing the line
GimpDock::font-scale = 0.8333
in the gtkrc file corresponding to the theme you are using
in my case C:\Program Files\GIMP 2\share\gimp\2.0\themes\Gray\

BUT in WINDOWS 10 I am unable to save the changed file...!!? 
Q can someone please explain how I can save the changed file in the program files folder of Win10..?


cheers for any ideas... CD

apologies for repeating post but not really sure where I am here..

Just downloaded the most recent public offering from Knoppix, version 9.1 And it has Gimp 2.10.22 bundled inside. (thought you might find of interest).

I suppose that I'll get used to the compound tools (see below: partial screenshot)  Is  there any provision to go back to the old default?

Hi,


I'm working on 2D game, and I want to create sprite with cell shading effect or cartoony.

I will use this asset : https://youtu.be/m-WZkOWW_VM

How can I paint my sprite to look as in the asset ?

I'm a beginner with Gimp.[

Thank you.

Hi everyone,

I'm a new user of GIMP so apologies if I have missed something obvious. I am trying to make a texture file (skidmarks on a road). I need only the rubber tyre markings to be visible on an otherwise transparent image so it blends into the base road texture underneath (hope this makes sense). The file type must be DDS for best in-game performance (PNG is hardware intensive to render, DDS is not). The image I have made exports perfectly to PNG, with black tyre marks on a transparent background, however when exporting to DDS format it outputs a completely black image.

I have tried all possible DDS output combinations (compressions and formats) with no improvement. I believe the best output should be using "Alpha Exponent (DXT5)" compression option but happy to be corrected on this. Not using Mipmaps (but should I? If so, how?).

I have tried many different combinations of Alpha layers, image layers, Alpha channels etc.

Screenshots of my latest attempt below (working PNG output, fully black DDS output)

Layers: https://imgur.com/vtzGvEg
PNG output: https://imgur.com/YA85ZeB
DDS output: https://imgur.com/Ze1zYn9

Can anyone point me in the right direction?

Let me know if you need me to provide any more info.

Thanks in advance!

I have had this thing as my screenlocker image for a couple of weeks now (seems to be a standard Windows10 image), and I just noticed how heavily photoshopped it was.

   

Hi all.

tl;dr

Photo edits don't have the desired results. Probably because when I import photos into Gimp, the brightness, contrast, saturation (etc.) change subtly but perceptibly. I think this is due to Color / Colour Profiles(?) What am I doing wrong, and how can I get more predictable results? Thank you in advance.

Apologies for what feel like pretty "noob" questions. (And further apologies if they've been answered 1,000 times already; I searched the forum, but maybe my search fu is lacking).

The problem: 

I take photos with my smartphone, then import the jpegs into Gimp for post-processing. But they look different in Gimp - flatter, greyer, less bold - than they do in the File Browser (Finder; I'm using macOS on a MacBook pro). I think this is due to the Colo(u)r Profile: Finder says "Colour profile: sRGB IEC61966-2.1" but AFAICT Gimp is using sRGB(?)

I've experimented with Image > Colour Management > Assign Colour Profile... and Convert Colour Profile... ...but I can't discern any difference, so I assume I'm using them wrong.

Q1. Am I right in my assumption: is the Colour Profile the problem?
Q2. I want the changes I make in Gimp to accurately reflect what I'll see in Finder; what's the best way to achieve this?

Bonus question (...possibly opening a can of worms?): if my ultimate goal is to post the results online, does it matter which colour profile I use...?

Any help gratefully received  

P.S. macOS, Gimp 2.10
