  Font not found
Posted by: Balbo193 - 01-12-2021, 02:15 PM - Forum: General questions - Replies (12)

Hello everybody,
i have an old .xcf file with some text using a font which is not currently installed on my OS, so as soon as i try to correct the text, the font changes and i can't go back to the old font in any way. Fact is that the old one is correctly shown in the file as i open it, but i can't remember or find in any way its name. Is there any way to recover it in the file informations or anywhere else?

  Scale tool giving me hell
Posted by: Oona Mistwalker - 01-11-2021, 05:03 PM - Forum: General questions - Replies (2)

Hi. I am trying to scale a selection of a layer so parts of it align with guide dots in another layer. Most of the first layer is transparent. A small area in the center has color data and the layer is in legacy Dodge mode.

I select my layer, then get the Fuzzy Select Tool and put it in the "replace current selection" mode. I click in a transparent part of the layer, then invert the selection. Now, all pixels with color data are selected and the selection is near the center of the image.

Then I choose the Scale tool. I make sure it is in Selection mode and click in my selection. At this point one of a handful of weird things happens. Either the Scale Frame starts at the top of the selection, hugs either side of it, then drops down to the bottom of the image; or the Scale frame starts at the top of the selection, extends to either side of the whole image and down to the bottom; or it starts at the right edge of the selection, extends to the top and bottom of the image and then out to the left edge of the image. The selection is far too large to scale the detail I need!
[Image: Scale-2.png]

Either way, if I grab one of the handles of the frame and move it, the "marching ants" resize themselves,

but when I click the Scale button, the colored pixels themselves do not move, though the dancing ants do.

Changing the layer mode from Dodge (legacy) to Normal (legacy) shows all the pixels with color data. It looks like no color data has moved.

To confirm this, I take the Fuzzy Select Tool again, in "replace current selection" mode, and click an area outside the new marching ants. Only the colored pixels are selected so the Scale Tool has truly moved no color data to new pixels.

What gives? I've looked everywhere for something I have done to cause this but I can't find anything. I sure would be grateful for any help.

  Gimp 2.10 plugin and lost controls on left dock
Posted by: Bipolar - 01-11-2021, 03:18 PM - Forum: General questions - Replies (4)

I recently installed Linux Mint 64bit with the Mate desktop. I also installed Gimp 2.10.
With the previous version of gimp the install would create a hidden folder in my home 
folder named .gimp-2.8. There was a sub-folder called scripts or something like that 
where I put the Pandora plugin. There is no Gimp folder in my home folder with Gimp 2.10.
I looked in Edit/Preferences/folders/ and the folders appear as swap folder and temporary folder.

When I did the Mint install I did not create a swap file. I have lots of ram installed so no need for one.

I also removed some of the items on the left dock and I'm not sure how to get them back.
I messed up something on a previous version of Gimp, I don't remember what but I deleted 
the .gimp-2.** file in my home folder and when I restarted Gimp it recreated the folder and 
went back to all the default settings. I just had to reinstall the Pandora script.
Does Gimp 2.10 have a place to put scripts? How do I install them?

Thanks!!

I'm used to seeing marching ants around what I select. Now I don't see anything even though it's selected. Show selection is ticked.

  Looking to change comic pencils to black linework...or close to it to work with it!
Posted by: cobrafirefly - 01-11-2021, 12:44 AM - Forum: General questions - Replies (3)

Hi all, first post here nice to meet you all, have a question for you.

I received some comic book pencils back from an artist and they are detailed and super complete looking. My question is can someone point me in the direction of a parameter to adjust to turn the pencils to black linework!?? I know this wouldn't be perfect as traditional comic inking by any shot, but is there something someone can think of, probably within the colors section? to adjust to darken the pencil linework to black? 
I am screentoning the daylights out of the artwork afterwards but the pencil work is so complete and detailed that I think it would be a shame to traditionally ink over all the details, so hoping someone can aim me in the direction to darken the pencils to black, thanks!!!!

  Disable anti-aliasing on eraser tool
Posted by: Domarius - 01-10-2021, 04:10 AM - Forum: General questions - Replies (2)

If I draw with the pencil tool, and the hardest brush setting (100), I get no anti-aliasing, and the fill bucket leaves no halos, perfect.

If I erase part of that drawing with the eraser, even with the hardest brush setting, the edge is always anti-aliased, and the fill bucket will leave halos behind when filling in those erased areas.

How can I turn off anti-aliasing for the eraser?
