  Finding a better scanner
Posted by: Ofnuts - 02-11-2021, 04:02 PM - Forum: Watercooler - Replies (2)

I just revived an Epson V200 scanner (could be about 10 years old?). Made it to work under Linux. Output looks fine.

But it's a bit slow. So I wonder if a new scanner would be significantly faster? Epson has a V39 (€100) and a V600 (€450).

Any inputs from those who have a scanner?

Exclamation unbound variable: FG-IMAGE-FILL
Posted by: Krikor - 02-11-2021, 12:29 PM - Forum: Extending the GIMP - Replies (11)

Hi,
I'm getting the following error:

Error: eval: unbound variable: FG-IMAGE-FILL

I believe it is due to an outdated command that should be changed.
But even consulting the Procedure Browser I don't know how to solve this problem.
   
I tried to replace gimp-edit-fill with gimp-drawable-edit-fill but it was more complicated than I thought and I ended up giving up.

Could someone help me with this?

///// Gimp 2.10.21 Samj's Portable - Win10 /////

Thx.

  QR
Posted by: denzjos - 02-11-2021, 11:00 AM - Forum: Other graphics software - Replies (5)

It's always funny to insert messages in a drawing. A QR code can do the job. Make one and import it as a svg in gimp. One can find many QR code generators on the internet and this is one of them :
https://online-barcode-generator.net
   

Find the message (or is Wilber behind a Shoji ?)

  is format jpg safe?
Posted by: kenny1999 - 02-10-2021, 09:23 PM - Forum: General questions - Replies (4)

what I mean is 
I know that if a picture (for example which contains personal information that I have 
hidden) is saved as xcf it is possible that it can be reversed and hidden information could '
be revealed. 

I know the answer is yes but I'm not tech geek so just wish to make sure

If I hide something and save it as jpg or jpeg or bmp is it final? and just totally 
Impossible to reverse the hidden part right??

One can generate something like a flower with the Floral Diagram Generator. The result can be saved as a svg file and import it in Inkscape. If one import the file in gimp, but not all the items can be seen (or not everything is imported / converted... I don't know)

  Tablet setup help and best practices.
Posted by: halotaco - 02-10-2021, 02:25 PM - Forum: General questions - Replies (2)

Hi,

I am a newbie to Gimp and graphics programs in general.  I am taking a high school image design class using GIMP.  I am learning a lot and enjoy it.  My dad got me a XP-Pen Deco Pro small drawing tablet to use with GIMP.  I am having a hard time getting it going that way I think it should work.  

I have it connected and the right drivers in place.  I am trying to get the wheel to move change brushes and the touchpad to zoom in/out and pan.  If anyone has one, can that offer any help to make that work?

Also - best practices using tablets with GIMP?  Is there any settings that would be the most efficient?  There are some shortcut buttons I am tying to decide what is he best as well.  I want to get the most out of these two together so if you have any advice please let me know!

Thank you 
G

  True white in old black and white photos
Posted by: barth90 - 02-09-2021, 11:22 PM - Forum: General questions - Replies (3)

I’m using Gimp 2.10 to  colorize old photos. I have no problem with differents hues. My question is about true white. For example, I have a photo whith snow. On the original, the snow is greyish. If I select white from the palette and using a brush to color the snow, it remains grey. Is it possible to have true white?

Thank you
