Hey GIMP community, I am fairly new to GIMP but I might already have a rare question. Trying to process my photos from different countries and I'd like to add a text (name of the particular place and country) to the bottom right corner of all pictures. As much as I can I'd like to have this text in exact same spot with pretty much same settings (font, size, location) that I'd always need just to type the name of the place.
I've wondered if there are some sort 'presets' or profiles available in GIMP as they are, let's say, in RawTherapee for example?
Second solution, if I am not mistaken, could be creating a text "layer" with a text box and transparent background which I'd save as a project and could always add later on?
Or is there any other way I am not aware, yet? Thanks a lot for any advice.
When I click a filter the dialog pops up at the bottom of the screen so that for all but the smallest dialogs the bottom is off the screen. I can drag the dialog so everything ius visible but the parts originally off screen can still not be reached. For example, with the mosaic filter I can not click OK
I have a drawing with many text layers. I want to change the height of the font and want to use another font style for all the text layers. How can I do that in gimp?
Hi, I have a machine with Ubuntu 20.04, there are not many customisations. When I use GIMP 2.10.22 as App Image, it shows an icon in the Dock, but when I right-click, it has no option to add as Favourite . Is there any way to have an icon in Dock and make it available clicking on which will start the App Image ?
If possible, an icon of our choice would be great. Thanks.
Okay, so here's what I'm doing: I'm trying to take a picture I have of myself, isolate myself from my room, and insert myself into all kinds of wacky other scenarios. Using Foreground Select, I got a great cut of myself from the original image, and pasted it into a new blank image with a transparent background so that I can paste it into any image I want. However, if I paste that cut of myself into another image, I look like a paper cutout placed onto a background; it doesn't look like I'm really there. Doing some research on the ol' interwebs, "feathering" the image of myself seems to be the most popular way to do this.
Here's where I'm having trouble: if I feather myself against the transparent background, it... does nothing, because it's both transparent and only a single color anyway (I'm using bright green since it doesn't show up anywhere in the cut of myself). So, obviously, I thought to paste myself into the new image first, then feather the cut of myself. And indeed, when I'm pasted inside of an image, the cut of myself is still selected (until I anchor it). However, at this point, I am not allowed to feather that unanchored image of myself when its pasted to the new image. I can anchor it, sure, but then my selection is immediately lost, and any attempt at re-selecting myself with the foreground tool just results in an inaccurate cut, making the feathering go wonky.
So... how can I feather an image that has been pasted to a different image, but not anchored? Or, does someone have an entirely different way for me to achieve what I'm trying to do?
Befuddled for sure. Just learning (?) Gimp.
I have a simple 1000x1000 px image with a ring in it touching each edge.
The background is transparent. This is great. I use this as a basis for making icons by putting an image inside the ring and saving it as a png.
I also change the color of the icon with a simple flood fill.
Currently the entire background is transparent, which works, but what it want is for the 4 corner "pies" to be 100% transparent so it appears as a circle, but I want the area inside the ring to be 30%, so when I use it in a web page it shows some of the background through it, but the corners are completely invisible.
I have tried watching videos, reading, etc. but I have to say the whole layer thing stumps me. If there is a video, website, or actual instructions that someone can recommend, I would really appreciate it!
I've been using gimp for a few years, most of my prior experience was with Windows 7. I managed to install Python and several plug-ins dependent upon it,..with good results. One of those was resynthesizer.
None of that is part of the problem now.
About a year ago I started using a live distribution of Debian called "knoppix", installed it onto a flashdrive .....really have liked it, I got the DVD version which includes a generous software bundle, with one of those items being gimp 2.10.8 .
Recently I decided to try and add a few plugins to the gimp that I use under knoppix. So, in reading here I saw where rich2005 had put up for download for someone else a directrory named resynth-linux containing two *.py files, and two other files named resynthesizer and resynthesizer_gui
So, I down loaded those files, found the directories specified in gimp edit/preferences/folders/plug-ins and made sure that the specified locations had those files copied into them.
When I started Gimp, there was no change in either of the Filters/Enhance or the Filters/Map menus
Wondering if I had Python support installed, I ran python --version and got "Python 2.7.16" and when running python3 --version I got back "Python 3.7.3"
So far as you know, should that support the plugins that I am trying to use?
Out of curiosity, I went digging and noticed in the directory usr/lib/ were subdirectories "python2.5", "python2.6", python2.7", "Python3", "Python3.7"
Out of those,the contents of "3.7" and "2.7" had many common elements, such as sub directories with common names.....while the other "python*.*" directories differed somewhat. The " python3 and python2.6 directories both had subdirectories named "dist-packages"(only that one subdirectory in either), but the contents of each differed significantly from the other .... while the remaining "python2.5" directory had almost nothing in it. I'm guessing the oddballs contain legacy support for the generous software bundle that came along with the OS?
I appreciate that the last 2 paragraphs might amount to nothing, but just wanted to include them out of an abundance of caution that I might otherwise be leaving out info you might have a use for in determining where I went wrong.
On the attached image, how do I introduce a gradual transition from left to right from BW to colour? I don't know GIMP very well...
I have v 2.10 on Win10.
Thanks!
