  Can I warp this vintage illustration into a proper rectangle?
Posted by: GregL65 - 05-29-2020, 02:00 AM - Forum: General questions - Replies (3)

Hi, I haven't used Gimp but I'm looking for a tool that can help me with this. 

I make Kindle books featuring vintage illustrations from children's books. Many of the illustrations were printed not quite square. They look okay in the books because the margins are very large and they are not very far off from square.

But in my Kindle books I want to make the illustrations full screen. When I do so, the slight slants of some of the borders become obvious. 

In the attached example, see how the bottom border (and the text too), are horizontal, but the other three borders are not square. I don't think the artist made it that way; I think the distortion happened during the book production in 1918. If Gimp can help me warp it back into square, I think that would be closer to the artist's original work.

Any suggestions?

  Trouble installing resynthesizer in Linux
Posted by: petedecember - 05-29-2020, 01:13 AM - Forum: Extending the GIMP - Replies (1)

Greetings, folks--

I am running Linux Mint 19.1 Cinnamon.  I am using an AppImage of GIMP 2.10.19.

I am trying to install Resynthesizer.  I have downloaded the plugin and the gui, copied them to
 /home/peter/.config/GIMP-AppImage/2.10/plug-ins
but they still don't show up in the filters pull down menu.  What am I missing here?

Thanks for your help.


I just saw that there is another thread on installing resynthesizer that I had thanked rich2005 and said that that solved my problem too.  That problem was not resynthesizer, but checking the make executable option on the files did fix whatever I was doing at that time.  I hope that that clears up any confusion as to why I am posting this thread on resynthesizer!

  Auto whitebalance from command line
Posted by: balancedeblancos - 05-28-2020, 01:08 AM - Forum: General questions - Replies (2)

GIMPs Color->Auto->Whitebalance tool does more or less exactly what I want. But I want to run it on a single image from command line but it doesn't seems to be that easy.

There are many SCM scripts out there that does some sort of white balance but not using this menu item directly like this Luca De Alpharo's white balance script linked from this post https://www.gimp-forum.net/Thread-White-...te+balance

In the GIMP source code I can see that histograms are extracted for each RGB channel for Color->Auto->Whitebalance and but in the SCM above there is no histogram extraction and the same applies for a few other white balance scripts I've found.

How can I run GIMP Color->Auto->Whitebalance from the command line (without user interaction) or at least something very similar?
ilar?

  Gimp is distorting imported images
Posted by: mike_o - 05-27-2020, 09:33 PM - Forum: General questions - Replies (6)

I use a program called knobman to create custom knob skins for music software.

The one real limitation to knobman is that it can only do 8 items on a list type graphic, see image.

when I need to make a list graphic that is more than 8 long I will make 2 separate lists and combine them in gimp.

this has always worked fine, until recently I updated to OSX catalina and did a fresh re-install of all my programs, now gimp is causing this issue.

   


the text at the very top that says "Voice To Pitch" is exported directly from knobman and looks exactly as it should.

the text below that which says "Natural, Quantized, Major" etc... has been imported into gimp and stitched together to create a longer list and then exported back out, but it's made the text fat and a little blurry.

does anyone have any idea how to correct this?

Thanks.

  Difference between image and print preview
Posted by: blimpgreen - 05-27-2020, 07:37 PM - Forum: General questions - Replies (4)

I have an image that looks perfectly fine in the normal editing mode in Gimp, but when I go to the printing dialog, the print preview image is significantly different. The image shown in the print preview is overly saturated and darker, and I've tried to change options in the print dialog like "Color Mode" and "Quality" but there's no effect on the print preview image. The print preview image is a more accurate representation on what actually is printed though, so in that respect the print preview works.

What are my options if I want to get the print preview and the printed image closer to what I see in Gimp? Do I have to desaturate and lighten the image before I attempt to print it or is there a smarter way to get the print preview and printed image more in line with what I see in the normal editing mode?

  Resize pattern
Posted by: meetdilip - 05-27-2020, 05:37 AM - Forum: General questions - Replies (7)

Hi, is there any method scale a small piece of semi-transparent noise pattern to use with an HD wallpaper.

I will explain. I had one pattern like this made for a button. I would like the wallpaper to have the same texture. Either I should go through the whole process of remaking the noise or find some way to scale this small image. Any help will be great.

PS : I have Resynthesizer plugin

Photo gradient fill with symbol
Posted by: teespringgig - 05-27-2020, 02:21 AM - Forum: Older Gimp versions (2.8, 2.6....) - Replies (12)

Hello everyone,

I'm new to using gimp 2.8 so I could really use some help. I'm trying to create a gradient pattern, similar to the design attached.

Does anyone know how to recreate this gradient? I've tried using the gradient tool various ways but it only seems to go from gold to white.

If anyone has any ideas please let me know.

  Help: Drop shadow is creating a strange outline in one text
Posted by: aridavid5 - 05-26-2020, 10:38 PM - Forum: General questions - Replies (1)

A bit of background. I have 2 text layers that are a duplicate of one another. However, drop shadow is acting weird on one of them. I even duplicated the one working again to replace the other, and I got the same error.

In the top screenshot you can see how I expect it to work (how it always had before), and in the bottom one you can see that it is creating a weird black outline.

EDIT: After changing the precision, to interger instead of floating point, I stopped getting the error. Now I'm even more confused.

  curved text
Posted by: yann - 05-26-2020, 07:18 AM - Forum: General questions - Replies (2)

Hello,
is there a way to make the letters of a text along a path over a half-moon shape keep their proportions without distorting. Because each time the big letters have the outer part much wider. Thank you
