Hi-

Is there a way to change the alpha channel gray checker background to white or another color in the settings?

Thx

Hi,  I am learning how to bend text and manipulate it.  I want to be able to fill it with color and outline it.

I have cannot figure out how to fill and stroke it.  I think this is missing something basic.  It works but only parts that are within the original text box.  Why is it not doing it to all the letters along the path?

I was following a youtube video and I read this comment.  I think this is what I want but am doing to wrong....

:To be noted (in GIMP 2.10.2):
1) when using the pen tool to modify the resulting path of the letters, the tool menu offers the possibilities of both filling inside and stroking around the letters with either a solid colour or a pattern, saving the need of doing a path to selection and then using the filler tool."

Any other tips for working/bending text appreciated.  Thank you!

   

Hey All --

I am trying to take a vector .svg and make a simple .gif animation (with a transparent background) out of it in Gimp (attached). As you can see, the lines are quite jagged. I'm not sure why this is as the original .svg is quite smooth when viewed in an illustrator program. My process is as follows:

The attached gif is 4 frames, with each frame associated with a layer in Gimp. I imported each .svg as a set of paths to an active layer using the path dialogue box. For instance, frame 1 of the gif is the first layer with the paths imported into Gimp and then filled with white (using the "edit path" tool). Frame 2 is the second layer, with paths imported into Gimp, duplicative paths deleted, and the remaining path (the first light beam in this case) filled with white. Etc.

I only have a very surface-level understanding of this stuff, so I'm probably making a mistake somewhere along the way. But since this image is made up of paths that are quite smooth, I'm not sure why the final product is displaying as so jagged.

Any thoughts or help would be much appreciated! Thank you.

Anyone can help me to find this plugin for gimp 2.10.24 : http://sites.inka.de/sites/bunsen/alex/e...ic.99.html
Thanks in advance.
PS: I know there is such a thing in Qt-Gmic, but that's not satisfying.

Hello,
Is there anyone willing to improove a old photo for me. I am in the process of doing a family album which i am going to call the living album as i have converted my old family photos to animation. I have a slight problem with my dads photo in that when i animate it his forehead as got a white patch on the left hand side of his head, the photo in general is slightly washed out. Im not experienced enough to improove this photo without making it look like its false. i realise i need to keep it as original as possible but im sure it could do with some very delicate work in the right hands. anyone willing to help me i will send a few pounds for drink.

I am wanting to post images on Instagram, which has the (in my opinion) ridiculous constraint that all images have to be square. The images I am posting cannot be cropped. Therefore, what I am wanting to do is make them square, with a coloured margin top and bottom, with the original image centered vertically and horizontally on the new canvas.

I have read load of guides about resizing canvases and adding borders but don't seem to be able to find any easy way to do this.

I would be extremely grateful of someone could explain how I might go about doing this, please.

Kind wishes - Patrick

Very few sensible people on reddit, except Ofnuts and a couple of others. There was a post about the various versions of Gimp. One is for people who think "Gimp" name is offensive.

All in the mind. This probably the original (and only) definition, from my Concise Oxford Dictionary (concise being one volume 1550 pages)

   

If you want to use other definitions, by all means, but as usual a nice old word hijacked for other uses.
