  All of Text changes
Posted by: Mgmator - 11-20-2020, 08:42 PM - Forum: Older Gimp versions (2.8, 2.6....) - Replies (1)

Sometimes when I use the program, I can edit just single letter/word within a text box, other times the entire text box will change. This means if I want some words/letters one font and others not, I have to make space for that word in one text box and then create a separate text box for the font that's different -- making something that should take a few seconds take 10, 20, 30 minutes or more depending.

Is there some sort of setting I can change so that the entire text doesn't change?

  24 Bit Bitmap
Posted by: bucrepus - 11-20-2020, 04:03 PM - Forum: General questions - Replies (4)

I am having an issue loading 24 bit bmps I export from GIMP. I load a BMP and export it as a 32 bit BMP and 24 bit BMP. Once I export the 24 bit BMP, I can no longer open it in GIMP (Unrecognized format or compression error). I have tried this on several machines with v2.10. No luck. I can open the 24 bit BMPs in MS Paint with no problem. Any ideas?
I have attached one of the many I cannot open.
Thanks for your time

  Gimp 2.10 stalling while rescaling image
Posted by: Ritergeek - 11-20-2020, 04:53 AM - Forum: General questions - Replies (7)

I'm working on some old photos and scaling several up for printing. About half the time, GIMP stalls out in the process and when it does complete, it takes anywhere from several seconds to a few minutes. I do not know if this is a problem with GIMP or my computer. I'm using a fully updated (10.0.19401 Build 19041) installation of Windows 10 Home on a 2017 HP Pavilion with an Intel i7-8700 processor, 5.81 GB available physical memory and 23.8 GB of Available Virtual memory. I have no problems with anything else, and the images that stall out GIMP rescale instantly in IrfanView. 

I've begun saving and copying my initial crop and whatever small amount of work I may have done before I begin scaling in GIMP, then if necessary, paste the copied image into IrfanView for scaling, pasting it back into GIMP. 

My most recent stalled image entered GIMP at 1321 x 942 pixels (4.40 x 3.14 in). It stalled when I attempted to scale it to 2100 x 1500 pixels (5 x 7 in). As I said, it scaled instantly in IrfanView with perfectly acceptable results, but I'd prefer to stay in GIMP. 

Any explanations or suggestions?

  Cursor dead zone when using a tablet
Posted by: Plisek - 11-19-2020, 03:52 PM - Forum: General questions - No Replies

I've experienced a slight dead zone when using my tablet in GIMP. It's only slight, but it gets really annoying when doing anything precise. 

Here is a video of the issue: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dMf1bY6eCR4

OBS doesn't pick up the cursor movement either, so I'll quickly explain. The first stroke is to show what kind of movement I'm doing. The next ones have the same movement but on a smaller scale. The ones where the cursor is stationary for a while are me doing small circles around the impact point until I get out of the dead zone. 

The issue is specific to GIMP, everything works fine in other software (although my sample size is small). 
No problem when using a mouse.
GIMP version is 2.10.14
I'm still a beginner at using GIMP, so it might be something easy to solve.

  Paste an image into specific shape
Posted by: Giffin - 11-18-2020, 06:02 PM - Forum: General questions - Replies (2)

Hi Everyone,

I'm looking to take a picture of a flag and paste it into a specific area of another photo.

So I have two pictures:  One of the flag and the second one of a tractor in a field.  The tractor has two large wheels.

I'm trying to take the entire flag and paste it into each whee seamlessly.  The flag will be a bit distorted as it takes the shape of the wheels, but that's okay.

Is there an easy way to do this?  

Can anyone provide the steps?

Thank you

Giffin

  macOS Colors messed up.
Posted by: UHDbits - 11-18-2020, 03:07 AM - Forum: General questions - Replies (2)

Hey everyone! I've been using GIMP for a couple of years now, and on macOS I have never had any issues. I know macOS Gimp isn't getting updated yet, and hopefully when GIMP 3 comes out the issue will be fixed, but still think I should report it here. I've been using Photoshop for extra things, but Gimp is still my main. But, recently, a major problem has been occurring. When I usually open GIMP, the colors are fine, but after I open a image (not create), they usually look like this.
[Image: moR0hM9.png]
I can change the color, but the pink stays. The original image imports fine, but after that, anything to do with colors goes downhill. Here's a image technically filled with bright red.
[Image: XzDBJHJ.png]
This is really annoying, and I can't find any fix yet. I work with importing multiple images, and working with a lot of layers. This is where it gets even harder.[Image: zifdXIl.png]
Here's the original image, everything appears fine.
[Image: RMVfO63.png]
Here's the image after imported into GIMP. It loses basically all of it's color, but isn't completely black and white. This issue has occured over multiple macOS High Sierra installations and multiple GIMP installations. If anyone knows a temporary fix to this, PLEASE, let me know. Hopefully this will be fixed when the next version of GIMP gets released for macOS.

  Loading .jxr with HDR colors
Posted by: Good_Punk - 11-17-2020, 01:52 PM - Forum: General questions - Replies (3)

Hi,
I've taken a few HDR screenshots with Windows Game Bar. They are in the .jxr file format. I can load them in Gimp but there's a message that the HDR colors will be flattened. Is there some way or something planned to load them with HDR support?

I'm looking all over the internet to find a way to convert .jxr to .avif format with HDR colors but so far I've found no (free) way to do that. Sad

  Set up resources manager plug-in (showing brushes)
Posted by: rich2005 - 11-17-2020, 09:54 AM - Forum: Tutorials and tips - Replies (3)

A very short basic description of Ofnuts   addonCollectionManager  for managing resources brushes, dynamics, gradients, palettes, patterns, scripts (.scm not plug-ins), and fonts although fonts are problematic in Windows.

Download from here see: http://sourceforge.net/projects/gimp-too...s/scripts/

addonCollectionManager-3.0.py down the list look for date 2013-05-26

There is a description of the setup here: http://gimp-tools.sourceforge.net/managementtools.shtml

Concentrating on a  brush collection setup. (others are similar except fonts)

Make collections of similar brush themes as a zip file. Use any recognized brush types. Single .abr brushes can be zipped or included with other types.

The zipped 'themes' go in a folder  
Windows: C:\Users\"yourname"\AppData\Roaming\GIMP\2.10\brushes_storage
Linux:  ~/.config/GIMP/2.10/brushes_storage

The addonCollectionManager plugin is enabled from a right-click in the brushes dock.
Choose the set(s) Click on OK. the sets are added to the brushes dock. They can be filtered using the zip-file name.
Either leave the  addonCollectionManager  dialogue open, it will be hidden behind Gimp or close it.
Removing / adding more brush sets: Open the  addonCollectionManager  dialogue, untick / tick  any changes and OK.

   

....and a short animation: resourcemanager.mp4
