  Dear God please tell me if this is even possible.
Posted by: malice936 - 10-16-2020, 05:49 AM - Forum: General questions - Replies (7)

I have spent the last 6 HOURS trying to do one simple thing, transform a rectangular image into a right triangle without distorting the pixel placement vertically. I have used EVERY transform tool, looked through every filter, and for the life of me I cannot figure out how to do this. So PLEASE if anyone can tell me if this is possible, and if so how I can do it, it would be greatly appreciated.

  What am I doing wrong with Merge Down?
Posted by: bobcov - 10-15-2020, 03:59 PM - Forum: General questions - Replies (2)

Hi,
    I am adding two signatures from jpg into a pdf document (well no, I changed one of the jpgs to xcf, but this problem occurs with the 2nd sig added, no matter the format).
1. Open pdf as layers
2. open the signature file as layers
3. put the signature file onto the document
4. Select Darken only and position the signature
5. Select "merge down" for the signature layer
6. It saves fine into the PDF

BUT, when I do this for the 2nd signature, as soon as I do "merge down", the signature vanishes. I have a feeling this has something to do with layers getting in each other's way or something, but I have no idea how to fix.

I also put in two text fields near by with the date.  I did not need to use merge down or darken for those fields and they also worked with the single signature as well as the vanished signature. 

What am I doing wrong?

  Finding distance for winding road on map
Posted by: carljong - 10-15-2020, 10:54 AM - Forum: General questions - Replies (6)

I have a map image that has a very winding walking trail.  I wanted to find the distance of the trail. I was imagining using Gimp to capture the graphic of the winding trail, converting it into a line, and then stretching it out straight so I can see the distance of the trail.

What would be the steps to do that in Gimp?

Thanks,

  How do I stop text hyphenation?
Posted by: juliandracos - 10-15-2020, 01:16 AM - Forum: General questions - Replies (3)

I just updated from GIMP 2.8 to 2.10.22.  In this version of GIMP, when it reaches the edge, it adds a hyphen (-) and then goes down to the next line.  While I am sure that is useful for some, it is ruining things for me.  I cannot find any options for text and searches for how to stop hyphenation in GIMP has not found anything?  Is there any way to turn this off?  It seems really weird for it to have been added without the ability to stop it.

  Antialias executes arbitrarily
Posted by: Osmodivs - 10-14-2020, 04:51 AM - Forum: General questions - Replies (2)

Hello.

I have this black and white 225x225 pixels image that I want to print in a Tshirt, for that I need to add a Halftone effect, so I add a Newsprint filter with the Anti-alias oversampling factor of 0 so the Circle pattern (Period 1, Angle 45º) looks sharp enough to be burned in a silk screen, the image looks great (pic_1), I do a Color to alpha operation to remove the white background and then export the image in a .png format, but when I open the image in an image viewer or in this case Inkscape, the image looks with an anti-alias effect (pic_2), wich is no good for my purpose.
How do I retain this sharp (no anti-alias) effect?

I am using Gimp 2.10.18 in Ubuntu-Studio 20.04

  Using gimptool on macOS?
Posted by: ChasBelov - 10-13-2020, 07:08 AM - Forum: Extending the GIMP - Replies (6)

I have an old plug-in script I wrote for an earlier version of GIMP. I want to port it to GIMP 2.10, the current Mac version, and re-code it in C or C++, whichever is used for GIMP plug-ins, to avoid the on-screen flashing it causes when using a scripting language.

I am getting stuck at doing a "Hello world" script as suggested by How to write a GIMP plug-in by Dave Neary https://developer.gimp.org/writing-a-plu...index.html as I can't even get that far.

Specifically, when I try to run gimptool-2.0 in Terminal, I get a message that the command is not found. Additionally, gimptool also gets command not found.

I'm guessing I'm missing a path, but I can't find the appropriate path. If I search my hard drive for files with gimptool in the name, I find gimptool.c and gimptool.h as well as a bunch of gimptool[something].c and gimptool[something].h, but no gimptool or gimptool-2.0 binary file.

Is there a guide somewhere to getting started from a GIMP 2.10 installation to the point where I have an executable gimptool-2.0 binary file, specifically on Mac OS?

I have Xcode installed and expect to relearn C or C++ enough to write the plug-in.

  Help for putting a design on this T-shirt Mockup PSD file
Posted by: abdo_shahba - 10-13-2020, 05:48 AM - Forum: General questions - Replies (6)

Hello gimp users, I'm beginner with gimp. I have a PSD file and want to use gimp to put any design in the future on this T-shirt mockup.

By searching, I found that people will face some obstacles because of Photoshop smart objects. And as a beginner, tried many tutorials, but applying them on this mockup didn't work for me!

Mockup link download: (Download Size 15.2 MB .. After extract will be 53 MB):

Example of a simple weird design  Big Grin   to put on that T-shirt Mockup

Thank you for reading and all of your efforts.

Note: This Mockup is free for personal and commercial use, I just didn't want to link to the source as I'm afraid of linking to external source will break rules or something.

  Crop not working (for me at least)
Posted by: Noteworthy - 10-12-2020, 08:05 PM - Forum: General questions - Replies (3)

I'm at my wit's end![Image: confused.png]

Okay, so I have this image that I have rotated to my satisfaction.
Using the crop tool I have selected to area to retain and thereafter I click on the selected area to effect the crop.
The excluded pixels disappear but the canvas does not get cropped.

I'm sure I've done something wrong somewhere as this has never happened before.

In the crop dialog box nothing is checked except for the highlight at 50%.

Mode is Normal.
Many thanks

Shocked Rotate Canvas not image?
Posted by: EdInBoonies - 10-11-2020, 04:05 PM - Forum: General questions - Replies (9)

Really what I'm trying to do is rotate the canvas without rotating the image.  I do this in my other software, but trying to do it in gimp.

I want to take a horizontal image, rotate the canvas to vertical and then enlarge the original horizontal image to fit the vertical canvas.

I've tried for an hour to figure out how....not so far.

It's easy enough to resize the canvas to vertical format, but then I can't make the image by itself bigger to fit the canvas.

Any help is appreciated.
