  Making a watch face
Posted by: rich2005 - 08-17-2020, 01:10 PM - Forum: Tutorials and tips - Replies (2)

Just a bit of fun.
There have been a couple of posts about adding text around a watch face. The last comment was, "too complicated, will do it manually". That is always an option, good option at that, however for a bit of fun, a font twenty-four-hours.ttf  with the essentials mapped to key rows. Not all that complicated Wink

   

Something for everyone.
24 hours for those travelers who turn up at 3 pm for a 1pm flight / Minutes for those who do not understand '20-to-12' / Military type option for joggers.

Using an script Pathrotator2.scm  and ofnuts plugin ofn-text-along-path.py. Pathrotator is in the attachment along with the font. Ofnuts plugin, get from http://sourceforge.net/projects/gimp-pat...s/scripts/   

A couple of short videos that might help. 
https://youtu.be/iDPWaL9pXIo  demo using Pathrotator (and its quirks)  duration 3 minutes
https://youtu.be/fsoba37vcEE  demo using of-text-along-path-multi duration 5 minutes.

When using the twenty-four-hour.ttf font with 'Keep upright - Yes' also select 'Height Reference - Middle of Box' otherwise unpredicable results. (you have been warned)

  Multi colour icons
Posted by: meetdilip - 08-17-2020, 06:45 AM - Forum: Other graphics software - Replies (2)

While Inkscape 1.0 supports multicolour icons, it is not accepting mine which I created as per

https://wiki.inkscape.org/wiki/index.php...icon_theme

It is all black even though the icon has 2 colours


   

I think it needs


Quote:Add a color class to all paths, or unset the fill. If no class is set, the default class .base will be used.

I could be wrong. I am puzzled. Any idea on how to proceed will be great.

  making a 'spokes on a wheel' design
Posted by: Hikaru - 08-16-2020, 11:58 AM - Forum: General questions - Replies (6)

EDIT - after posting, I realized I posted to the wrong forum.  I'll try to contact the Admins to get it moved/removed.

Hi all, I'm using GIMP 2.10.8  on  Mac 0S Sierra 10.12.2.  

How can I create a series of lines that radiate from the canvas center, and mark out equal segments of a circle? (I've put in place a horizontal and vertical guide, with the snap to guides turned on)

I've drawn two line segments, one that crosses the center of the canvas, and one that begins in the center of the canvas.  But the rotate tool is based on a point in the center of my line segment.  

ps - there is a video that shows how to do something like this, but there is no sound (!) and my eyes aren't good enough to see what s/he is actually doing. (I hope in this case it's ok I'm posting a link, I think it's the best way to explain)

Thank you very much
Hikaru


(I have some experience using photoshop, and I've made a flyer and a business card so far with GIMP.)

  Sharpen by Synthesis error
Posted by: meetdilip - 08-16-2020, 07:20 AM - Forum: General questions - Replies (1)

I have 2 images. One big and one small. I had to use them together. So I have to resize the small one. Everything is fine. The only problem is the scaled image looks a bit out of focus. So I tried Sharpen (unmask ). It didn't go well. The image become distorted with hue.

Now I tried to sharpen with synthesis. But it is giving me this error continuously


   

I tried with all other layers off, but the same error. Is there any method to fix this issue ? Thanks.

  Inverting a brush
Posted by: Brushcow - 08-16-2020, 01:20 AM - Forum: General questions - Replies (2)

Hey, I have a quick question concerning the regular brushes, specifically those with hardness 25, 50, 75. Is it possible to invert them? As in instead of them going from their colour to fading radially, having them go from transparent to their colour?

I tried the reverse option in the tool options/dynamic options and to reverse the gradient but it did nothing.

   

Picture is of the kind of brush I'm talking about for clarity, I'd like to have it go from say transparent to black, as opposed to the normal colour into fading.

Thanks!

  individual canvas size for layers?
Posted by: s1wurm - 08-15-2020, 06:33 AM - Forum: General questions - Replies (4)

I'm working on a huge (14'x8') image that I'm slicing down into individual standard US Letter size fragments. I need to export the layers created this way to a PDF with each layer as a page. When I do this, the individual pages it creates seem to keep the main canvas size of the huge image as the page size, rather than the boundary of each layer. Is there anything I can do to make each layer's boundary the size of its page in the PDF? I'd like to avoid having to manually crop each page, since there are 224 of them.

Thank you in advance!

  Is there a way to automate file exports to make anim frames?
Posted by: rgbellotti - 08-14-2020, 08:36 PM - Forum: Scripting questions - Replies (2)

Rather than creating multiple layers within GIMP to build animations with, I would like to be able to export multiple images with a naming system like sample_001.jpg, sample_002.jpg, sample_003.jpg etc.  The idea being, that each one will be the same image with the same filter applied, but each export will slightly modify one (or more) of the filters attributes.  For example, started with a normal image, and then on each export, applying a blur filter so that the first image is crystal clear, and the last image is max blur.  To do this manually, I can apply the blur filter -> export -> undo blur -> re-apply blur with a more intense setting -> export -> undo blur -> and so on.  Eventually having a folder of images with a "gradient" of blur applied to them collectively, which I can then import into a video editor to chain together.

I'm thinking I can use python for this, but haven't been able to find an example showing how that would be possible


I'm new to python-fu (and scheme, but I know python so I was hoping I could use it instead of scheme). Anyways, I was thinking it could have something to do with the process of selecting the "pdb.file_jpeg_save" plugin in the python-fu console, and creating a for loop or while loop so that I can save a file in each iteration using the string filename = "image" + increment_variable, and then also applying a filter and incrementing or decrementing a filter parameter too.

Are there any good tutorials that cover these types of specifics? Thanks in advance!

  Heal Transparency

I saw the option " Heal Transparency " under the " Enhance " menu just near to " Heal selection ". I have used " Heal selection " option but not sure what is the use of " Heal Transparency " ? Any tips will be great. Thanks.
