Hi everyone, I used Gimp many years ago but am now quite rusty. So if someone could explain how I can remove a white background that would be great. I have tried but the image loses quality...TYIA

  Pattern import
Posted by: Buff - 01-20-2021, 03:08 PM - Forum: Extending the GIMP - Replies (1)

Good day I am a newbie to Gimp attempting to import a .pat file using a Zorin platform with 2.10, having tried a number of the tutorials I come unstuck pasting the .pat file into the share folder. It appears that I do not have permission to make that addition.
Any help appreciated I have trawled to forum but found nothing relating to this issue.
Thanks Huh

  Scaling without quality loss
Posted by: Jens - 01-20-2021, 11:59 AM - Forum: General questions - Replies (6)

Dear all,



I have a pixelart image that I try to scale in gimp. This is probably just a button I need to toggle, but I have searched for more than an hour (also on this forum and on Google) but I have yet to find the answer.

When I try to scale the image everything goes well, but when I click enter it suddenly loses a huge amount of quality.


I added the unscaled image, scaled image before clicking enter and scaled image after clicking enter.



Many, many thanks in advance!!!

Photo Découper et recomposer
Posted by: alain Guégan - 01-19-2021, 06:40 PM - Forum: General questions - Replies (4)

Bonjour [Image: smile.png]

et merci.


J'avais déjà sollicité votre aide à ce sujet
Voila mon problème: 
J'ai créé une «NOUVELLE IMAGE » en A4, blanche, sur laquelle, je voudrais disposer des lignes( ici, de musique)
Ensuite, je vais chercher ma "partition":
  • Pour ce faire ,Je fais FICHIER>OUVRIR en tant qu'image( 1 page de musique dans le cas présent); il s'agit d'une page jpeg en A4 comme la NOUVELLE IMAGE.
je la laisse au même format
  • je découpe une ligne, je la garde telle qu'elle( au même format)Je fais un copier-coller sur ma NOUVELLE IMAGE en A4...dans l'intention de mettre d'autres lignes aprèsEt voilà, la ligne fraîchement déposée disparaît comme par enchantement sur ma page blanche...Elle n'est visiblement plus au même format( 297,..mm de largeur)
****Ceci est le cas pour des lignes de musique, , mais ce serait pareil pour des images


Que puis je faire pour éviter ça ?
*La dernière fois, ça s'est arrangé tout seul
***je peux trouver « des trucs » pour y remédier,  sans doute, mais ce n'est pas une solution!


Je suis désolé, je n'arrive pas à joindre des images! c'est en Anglais
*****Vous avez bien compris: je ne veux pas que ma pièce découpée change de format en cours de roure

Merci à vous

  GIMP bombs on apply bump map
Posted by: eepjr24 - 01-18-2021, 04:34 PM - Forum: General questions - Replies (6)

Okay, including memory profile, bump image, and original images as jpg. Swap file is on C:, which has about 90 GB free. GIMP says the bump maps and image are both at 57 MB. When I click AUX and select the BUMP map to apply to the image, memory usage jumps from about 25% to about 75% then slowly climbs to 100%. The disk starts swapping for 10-15 seconds then GIMP crashes and werfault crashes as it attempts to recover the error. Am I asking too much of the machine or is there maybe a memory leak or something else?

  Reduce the stars size
Posted by: Duende - 01-18-2021, 02:51 PM - Forum: General questions - Replies (2)

Hi, I think this is the right place to post.

I have this image and I want to reduce the size of the stars, but without the small ones disappearing. I mean, there are stars that are very big and those are the ones that I want to be smaller.

I have been trying several things and the only solution left is to go star by star manually, but before doing that maybe someone knows how to achieve this in a faster way than doing it manually.

Thanks a lot, I hope you can help me.

  Change Amount Channels In Pic
Posted by: Winston - 01-18-2021, 11:34 AM - Forum: General questions - Replies (15)

I was trying to convert a picture to 2 channels, Stereo-chrome, only 2 colors like blue-yellow, red-cyan or green-magenta (similar to color-blindness, inbetween black-and-white and color,) but only had Gray/Alpha. I also tried to use 4 channels for IR-R-G-B, but I don't know how to convert to that from R-G-B-A. All I want to do is make a picture with any amount of channels, any amount of color. Yes, I tried duplicating the channels to the custom channels, but that isn't doing what I want, and won't make yellow-blue or so. Yes, I could mix the channels R with G and have B unchanged, but it still remembers 3 colors, wastes extra space. Yes, I could take the channel number for the picture in HEX and change it, but I tried and it didn't work. And yes, I googled how to do it, but could not find what I want. I'm using GIMP 2.10.8, and Windows 10. Any help would make me happy, or even adding a feature to do that. Do I need to write 'These colors' in HEX when set to 2 channels? Could I set the colors from R-G-B to Y-B? How to hide some invisible channels (like IR)? Is there already a similar format that has only 2-pixels of color? Note: I'm not colorblind, but it is a useful idea if you want to save space but have some color, as it uses less data, or another idea, convert the 2 pixels to audio-spectrum (TFFT stereo audio file), and back.

The attachment is an example of "Blue-And-Yellow" pixels.

Thank you if you don't ban this question.

WARNING: If you do ban this question, you will get 1 star rated. What is wrong with help?

  Creating seamless patterns with beveled or raised edge components
Posted by: eepjr24 - 01-17-2021, 04:45 PM - Forum: General questions - Replies (4)

So I am playing with making some seamless patterns for flooring. I have the base pattern done, and now I am moving on to coloring and texturing the pattern. I have a variety of colors and textures I want to use, and I would like to use bevels on the cobbles to give a more realistic feel. In doing so, the bevels are of course added to all edges of the cobbles, even those that are at the edges and should join to their counterpart on the opposite edge. I think I have an idea for how to make this work but the number of steps and manual work involved will be higher than I hoped given that I want to use this template to provide several different color options. Does anyone know of a simple way to achieve this effect?

Example of a pattern with the bevels in the wrong place.
