  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.

  Remove background
Posted by: meetdilip - 03-05-2021, 03:15 PM - Forum: General questions - Replies (13)

While I see many one-click remove background tools online, which works great too. I am a bit sceptic about my photos leaving my computer.

I always loved how GIMP helped do a lot of things and preserve our privacy at the same time. I wonder what are our options for background removal in GIMP 2.10.22. Is there any safe script or a reliable addon that we can use to make background removal easier ? Thanks.

  How to Center Text on Path?
Posted by: TheHolyTerrah - 03-05-2021, 02:27 PM - Forum: General questions - Replies (8)

My question is pretty self explanatory IMHO.  Angel

The path tool is quite painful concerning text. It's very difficult to use to get things just right, and doesn't seem to ever do things perfectly the first time when applying "Text along Path". Neither is it intuitive or easy to edit.

It squishes. Distorts. etc. Strange thing is there's little to zero on the interwebs on the topic.

I cannot possibly be the only one wanting to do this. Either that, or it's actually so elementary no one actually cares to document it.  Wink  I'd very much love to see this as a future feature. As a software developer, though the task may be a difficult one to code, my humble unsolicited opinion is justification of text along a path should've been there from the beginning.  Tongue

So, is there a simpler way to assign justification attributes to text being applied to a path, with a focus specifically on centering?

TIA!  Heart

  Can't draw lines.
Posted by: ranchdressing - 03-04-2021, 11:00 PM - Forum: General questions - Replies (3)

Running 2.10.22 on OSX Big Sur 11.3. Whenever I click and drag to draw a line, it just creates a dot where I start and every time I stop. Happens with every drag and click tool. Changing size, color, etc does not help. Any advice would be appreciated.

  Drop shadow filter not available :(
Posted by: tamaarr91 - 03-04-2021, 10:48 PM - Forum: General questions - Replies (2)

Hi! 

I hope someone can help me. I'm trying to use the drop shadow filters, but unfortunatly the button is not available in my GIMP. I thought, perhaps it is because of my language settings, but i've also tried to change them via preferences, which did not help. 

Please see attached print screen! 

Thanks Smile

  GIMP 2.10 Not responding on Mac??
Posted by: TheHPGuy - 03-04-2021, 06:48 PM - Forum: General questions - No Replies

I just downloaded GIMP 2.10 on my new mac. I changed the security settings so it should be opening, yet it's not responding. GIMP was working on my old pc with the same settings. It's been stuck on "Verifying" for 1-2 hours now in the background. Is there anything I can do to fix it?
