I have several photographs that were taken of old blueprints where there was poor lighting and various levels of camera shake causing much of the text to be illegible. Many times the text appears as doubled with one set lighter than the other. I've tried playing with levels mostly and am having difficulty coming up with a process to enhance the text enough to be sure of the dimensions written. Mostly the fractions are hardest to pull out.

I really need some help. The original blueprints have been destroyed and these photographs are all that survive. It is very important to extract the information so that new drawings can be created.

Below is two different photograph snips of the same area on the blueprint.

Thanks Sandy

   

   

Trying to learn to manipulate paths better, so I got ofn-bend-paths installed and thought I had set everything up correctly. I have one image (paths) with the two strokes in it. 

   

The second image (bends) shows what I am trying to bend and the error.

   

Am I doing something obvious wrong?

Also it does not affect functionality at all, but "should" is missing an L in the error message.

Cannot get font "X-Files" to work in Gimp, tried:
Re-installing, reloading font, re-installing font.

The font shows up under list but is not the true font, pressing enter when selected does not switch it. Any solution would be appreciated.

As there is no MacOS installed for the current stable version, I thought I'd try Macports as suggested on the downloads page. Everything looked good as the pieces were fetched and then configured, built and installed. But GIMP will not run. Instead I get the following:

Bagheera:MacOS bruce$ ./GIMP
2020-11-24 12:21:50.235 GIMP[61273:512327] Failed to connect (cancelButton) outlet from (ScriptExecController) to (NSButton): missing setter or instance variable

Cannot open display:


Please advise if this is something I can fix, or if this shows a bug I should report. 

FYI...I am running MacOS 10.13.6 and XCode 10.1. Mac Ports version is 2.6.4. Here is what my system profiler reports:

I want to colourise, a photo, but first, it's needs some repair. A lot of the repair, will be easy but there is one area, I'm not sure about. I've attached the photo, showing the problem area. Because of the difference in shades, I'm not sure what to do. I'm sure I've seen, somewhere, where you can select an area, and have it match up to the area next to it, but don't know how to do it.

I am applying quite a few bump maps in my current project (regional map) and get the fatal error about 1 in 6-8 times. The image is kind of large (~86 MB) but most times works fine.

System is Windows 10 Enterprise 64 bit
Gimp 2.10.22. 
25% memory usage with 64 GB Physical ram installed.

Hello,

I want to reverse colors of a lot of images, but I don't know how (if it's possible) to do that in all the images in one time. Currently I do one image by one image and it takes a lot of time.

Same for exporting images, I don't know how to export all the images wich are opened in gimp in one time.

I hope somebody know how to do.

i want to make a painting of this pic.

In advance, the colour palette of this image is quite reduced. I like to hear your good ideas on how I can best represent the image with approx. 10 colours

Dear All,

I have a problem with the use of the eraser. After I tracked a line on a layer or on the original foreground, I can not understand why in some cases the eraser is working well and permit me to delete part of the line or totally, in some other cases this is not possible, and when I use the eraser simply happen absolutely nothing. Or, in other cases the eraser track a line like a pencil. I'm sure it must depend on the settings of the layers, but I have no idea how to solve this problem. It is frustrating to draw a line and not able to delete it.

Thank you.

Hi all,

Gimp-noob here. I have a bunch of high res scans of artwork that were saved as Tiff files, but whenever i try to open them, this message is displayed: 
"Non-conformant TIFF: extra channels without 'ExtraSamples" field. Process extra channel as: 
Non-premultiplied alpha; 
Premultiplied alpha; 
Channel."

Whichever one of those three options i choose, the picture just opens up as entirely green.

All I'm looking to do is open the tiff file, edit the image, keep it/save it as a tiff file, as this is the preference of the local print shop I want to use. How can I do this? How can I get the image to open?

Appreciate any and all help!!
