  How to blend the edges of a steiner chain
Posted by: WoodGoat - 05-08-2021, 07:22 PM - Forum: General questions - Replies (1)

Hello:

  I've been trying to figure out how to blend the edges of a G'mic generated annular steiner chain with round tiles. I've tried feathering by creating a channel selection then inverting it- didn't work.  I then tried a gradient and that didn't work; blurs (gaussian, etc.) affect the whole image and I simply want to blur the edges of the round tiles (circles).

I'm using gimp 2.10 on win 8 64bit. 

Any guidance would be greatly appreciated.

  Need help isolating object against alpha channel
Posted by: sayluv - 05-08-2021, 05:24 PM - Forum: General questions - Replies (2)

Hi-

I am trying to isolate my dog in my project but I forgot to add the alpha channel. I tried creating a new image so I could select and past the dog in but when I do a fuzzy select I cant get it to select the dog or the white so that I can invert it.

Thx

  Mask doesn't leave outline
Posted by: sayluv - 05-07-2021, 03:52 PM - Forum: OSX - Replies (3)

Hi-
When I use any of the masks they no longer leave the little gray dotted mask outline like they used to on Osx. I am running the latest version GIMP 2.10.14 on the latest version of OSx. When I run Gimp on my Surface Pro with windows 10 I do see the mask outline as expected.  

Has anyone experienced this or have a fix?

Thx

  path-waves script to make spikes on circle help.
Posted by: halotaco - 05-06-2021, 10:46 PM - Forum: General questions - Replies (4)

Hi,

I am trying to put some "spikes" on the edge of a circle.  You can see I have tried to do it manually.... and you can see where my skill is at :-)    I got some info and found this, but need a little help to finish this off.

Which of the path-wave effects I should use?  I have tired a bunch of tings and just can't seem to figure it out.  I got close with ellipse 20, 40k, none, 0.  What would be the best effects to achieve this?

Then it should be a simple fill.  Thanks in advance any/all help.

  Text to Path - add fill and stroke. Wrong selection?
Posted by: halotaco - 05-06-2021, 01:30 PM - Forum: General questions - Replies (8)

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!

  Issue W/ Path Quality
Posted by: gi3892564 - 05-06-2021, 04:00 AM - Forum: General questions - Replies (3)

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.
