  can't change colours on gimp
Posted by: loolaeel - 03-09-2021, 09:03 PM - Forum: General questions - Replies (5)

Hi everyone, I am a new gimp user. Im trying to change the colours but cannot do so. It says the items have been transformed and cannot be changed. I have a few layers of texts, a few shape vectors(paths) and a few lines. I've made every individual item on their own layers. Please help. I wanna change the colours from black to different colours.

  Carbon Vs Default themes - Search question
Posted by: Krikor - 03-09-2021, 03:30 PM - Forum: Gimp-Forum.net - Replies (2)

Hello Gentlemen,

Recently I have been using the Carbon version (theme) in this forum. Although I prefer the Default version, browsing the forum with this The white background with gray gradients tires my eyes a lot, especially at night.  Cool

But in the Carbon version, using the Search option is not very intuitive or practical, so I choose to temporarily return to the Default mode to use this option which is much more functional in this Theme.

If I can make a suggestion, it would be:

Make the Default mode available in a Dark Theme version.

Or if the above suggestion is not possible / or interesting, at least make the Search tool more accessible in Carbon mode.

Thank you for allowing suggestions.

  is big sur issue rsolved?
Posted by: chris64 - 03-08-2021, 11:32 PM - Forum: OSX - Replies (6)

Has Gimp sorted out the compatibility problems with Big Sur? Some of the issues are


1. Selection not showing on Mac OS Big Sur though "Show Selection" is enabled
2. GIMP uses 40-90% of CPU while idle after migrating to Big Sur if there is an active selection
3. Very poor performance when painting.
4. Slow / laggy eraser


Last I heard the OSX programmer for Gimp is MIA and has been so for several months. Is that still the case? Huh


Although this is annoying, it's also a wake up call for us to be more appreciative for their work. No wonder why programmers leave. People LOVE to complain but send little or no praise.

  Selective shading
Posted by: rickk - 03-08-2021, 10:47 PM - Forum: General questions - Replies (7)

In the attached picture of wire ribbon matting, there is a shading effect that I guess was intended to simulate texture by the original artist. (the diagonal banding)

Is there a process in gimp to selectively darken the light spots while selectively lightening the dark areas, with the ultimate goal of achieving a uniform appearance? I've been playing around with alternate "dodge and burn"  processes from a brush set larger than the overall image, with mixed success.

My gut feeling is that if I keep at it over and over long enough, I will eventually luck into an acceptable result. But knowing you folks are far more skilled than I, got me to wondering if there might be a better way, less depended upon random chance, that is repeatable,  which  one of you might share?

Here is the likely original used to make the above composite.

  colourise black and white photo
Posted by: denzjos - 03-08-2021, 08:40 AM - Forum: Other graphics software - No Replies

What was in the early days a time consuming job, now colourise a black and white photo is a piece of cake. Just upload a photo and it will be colourised instantly. You can colourise a few photos for free and then you have to pay for it.

There are a few other possibilities with your photos on this site like make a face alive or optimise a photo

  Problem with writing script that uses Colours->Colourize tool
Posted by: dworack - 03-07-2021, 09:13 PM - Forum: Scripting questions - Replies (2)

I've got a xcf file where I've created around 400 paths. I'm using it to change a color of the clothes of audience,
and now I would like to colorize each path with the same color. As far as I understood correctly there is no way to select multiple paths and apply color using Colours->Colourize tool, so I have to do it manually what is very tedious and log process (I need to do it for at leas 10 colors - 400 paths for each of them)..

I went into direction of writing a a script that does a job like Colours->Colourize tool instead

Current script looks like this:

def plugin_main(image, layer):
    for p in image.vectors:
        pdb.gimp_image_select_item(image,CHANNEL_OP_REPLACE,p)
        pdb.gimp_edit_fill(layer, FOREGROUND_FILL) 

it iterates over paths fine but instead of pdb.gimp_edit_fill I need to execute something like  Colours->Colourize  does. 

Is there any way to do it?

thanks in advance Smile ,

  Eydropper/color picker doesn't work outside Gimp
Posted by: Bill H - 03-07-2021, 03:20 PM - Forum: General questions - Replies (1)

In GIMP 1.x, and supposedly still in 2.10, the "monitor" icon in the color picker window enables an eyedropper tool which collects color info from anywhere on the screen, not just in GIMP.  This is VERY useful!  But in 2.10 it doesn't seem to work, unless I'm doing something wrong: as soon as the cursor leaves the GIMP window it reverts to Windows' generic arrowhead, and clicking anywhere outside the GIMP window just brings the new window to the front, like with any other cursor.

Or is there a step I'm missing?

  2D video software
Posted by: meetdilip - 03-07-2021, 07:24 AM - Forum: Other graphics software - Replies (2)

Hi, can someone suggest a good 2D intro video maker ? I thought of SynfigStudio, but the interface looks so dated. I can use Windows 10 if needed. It will be nice to have some pre-made actions like zoom in, zoom out, fade in fade out, flying in etc

Thanks Smile

  Launch Gimp Flatpak from terminal?
Posted by: mholder - 03-06-2021, 11:46 PM - Forum: Linux and other Unixen - Replies (11)

I recently installed the LXDE desktop environment over my MINT 19.3 XFCE version.  I prefer LXDE and almost everything works, but I only have Gimp 2.8.  I do not know how to access Gimp 2.10.  The terminal command 'gimp' runs 2.8.

Is there any way I can start 2.10 from a terminal, or really is there any way at all?

Lightbulb Blur to Blob Animation Issue
Posted by: awolf - 03-06-2021, 05:05 PM - Forum: General questions - Replies (3)

I am not remarkable at doing animations,  but I have not seen this problem in other years.

I am making a neon light sign, and just wanting the blur layers to go on and off.  Seems simple?  The problem is that the blur layer
   


 turns into a filled in blob 

   

I tried saving as a Gif, but even the gif when opened shows the blob.

(Windows 10 GIMP 2.10.22)

Now it has been many many many versions since I last animated, so maybe I am missing a few steps? 

Can someone assist me?


I will edit and update as I learn about the issue for any future readers.
