Can projects that I can with Photoshop done with Gimp?
I learned from another forum.
Someone told me :

" Degrade and GFX ( I don't know what they are really) in Photoshop is not in Gimp and they are important.

Are they really important and Is Gimp good much like Photoshop?

Thank you.

Hey yall,

I recently downloaded GIMP and have just started to learn the software. Through my experimenting, I have noticed a few performance issues.

When I simply try to move an image after selecting it, it lags behind my cursor. In addition, when I use the foreground select tool, it takes around 10 seconds to show the preview. I am surprised about these performance issues because I have a capable system. Ryzen 4900, rtx 2060, 16gb ram. 

When I checked the task manager, the CPU usage never went above 40 percent, and the GPU was at 0 or 1 percent. 

Is there a way I can fix these performance issues?

Thanks!

Hello, 

I had 24 years in the I.T. Industry. I am well versed in Forums. I have looked in my Profile for "Signature" to make a Signature File. To no avail!

I used the "Help" and searched for "Signature File". There are no instructions on how to "effectively" use this Forum Board's functions. 

How do I create a Signature File in Gimp-Forum. 

Thank You!

Hello Ricardo, 

I'm new to Gimp 2.10.22 (2 months).

I'm wondering if the text can be offset from the "text along path" circle, either higher or lower. So the path line of the circle isn't running through the middle of the text.

This from the local newspaper.

   

Inside a small industrial unit. The police raided it after 'suspicious' people seen going in-and-out, drone infrared saw a large heat source, electricity illegally hooked up bypassing any meter.  The police expected to find a cannabis farm, instead found a bitcoin mine.  Looks a bit like the back of my desk

Hi,

I use GIMP 2.10.24 under Ubuntu 20.10 and I would like to improve the speed of my workflow, using my nVidia RTX2070 OpenCL features.

However I did not find any setting in Edit -> Preferences -> System Resources relative to OpenCL or nVidia (screenshot).

Any idea would be welcome.

Thx a lot.

Hi,

I'm making a book cover that has different pictures on different layers. An image I brought in as a layer, that I then enlarged, now extends past the edge of the layer and is getting cut off.

Is there a way to fix it and also to not have this happen again?


The arrows show where it's getting cut off.


Thanks for any assistance!

Can I copy a layer mask I have on a pic into another project? When I do it I end up with the original pic with no layer mask.

I have several layer masks of different faces and it would be convenient if I could. Copy them to another project. The only way I can do it is to open the project with the layer mask and delete all the other layers and drag in a new base pic to go with the face, then rename the file.

Any other way to do this?

Hello,

I work with photogrammetry, am interested to experiment with using separate processes of RAW, the conventional for projecting color to the model and outputting texture maps, the other for scene reconstruction itself. I'm unsure how any SfM engine will deal with an image that hasn't been demosaic'd (or deBayered), but what I stand to gain in improved resolution of the geometry is worth investigating. Can anyone suggest how this might be made to work? Simply the RAW data saved to 16-bit TIFF holds promise. I could then apply sharpening, though I'm unsure if sharpening won't like the Bayer pattern of 2 green pixels for every one red and one blue pixel. I'm reading about pan-sharpening, which accomplishes exactly that, but is part of a commercial package that includes a host of features I don't need, and is a Python scripted thing over cloud-based that probably costs a ton, as it relates to processing global imagery. Many thanks for ideas.

1. I cut some pixels and they were replaced by the background color. Erasing didn't work either. Cutting pixels is supposed to make the next layer visible where I've cut the pixels. I had to use a mask.
2. I pasted the pixels and the pixels were empty. (I pasted and limited visibility to the anchored-to layer.)
3. I used the paintbrush (pencil) and it said it would only do white. I couldn't change it to black. Even as a white brush, I couldn't paint the white into an empty layer

Since I don't know how to change default behavior, I have no idea what is wrong. I could copy the file over to my Mac and use Photoshop, but for a quick edit of a PNG file, I'd rather just use Gimp as I've been able to do for the last couple of decades.
But not anymore.
