  Gradient Tool
Posted by: Stephen_A - 12-15-2020, 05:02 AM - Forum: General questions - Replies (3)

Sorry if I'm missing anything obvious. The gradient tool appears to be missing from the toolbox. Was able to open a gradient dialogue box on the right (using ctrl G / Windows / Dockable Dialogs/ gradients) but am unable to make it work. Thanks.

  Tool Box Settings Help
Posted by: aesdiopod - 12-14-2020, 06:55 AM - Forum: Older Gimp versions (2.8, 2.6....) - Replies (1)

Hi everyone,
Somehow my tool box settings got totally messed up, and I can't look at the color pallet with the paint bucket and it's brought my work on a time sensitive job to a halt. I've tried to reset them but I am STUCK. Please help. I would love to meet some GIMP buddies. Thank you.

  Index mode + custom palette
Posted by: barrubba - 12-13-2020, 11:44 PM - Forum: General questions - Replies (2)

Hi.
I have to convert using a 46-colour palette. For example, as you can see, I would expect the shades of browns to be converted to the closest shades of browns in the palette but instead everything is flattened into a couple of colours.

I have also attached the rgb values, which although they are very close, the indexing method does not take them into account. Can you explain why the algorithm is not very precise? Or is it possible to set the colour tolerance so that the index is hooked to the closest colour?

  Extruded text with outlines?
Posted by: carmen - 12-13-2020, 10:16 PM - Forum: Extending the GIMP - Replies (6)

Well, I wanted this format for text:
   
so:

  1. I tried first in Gimp, with 'TUF'. The result is there, but even with much help from plugins, the procedure was some trial--as this site lacks a 'spoiler' feature, I am attaching a .txt file with the 10 steps it took me get the upper part of the text above. It called for some patience!
  2. Thus, I tried plan B, and exported the two paths for 'VOYAGING'--path from text and moved copy--to Inkscape. Unfortunately, although the last version includes 2 'text extrusion' (in Extensions and as an experimental LPE) neither worked for me... Therefore, a new exercise in patience--path difference + too many hand deletions and additions, to get here and import to Gimp:
       
The image above isn't all I could wish: I should try again with the extruded paths moved slightly up and right. 
But, before I undertake it, please:
Does some kind person have some tips on procedure? 
I am really interested--SF fans can think of the AMAZING  logo  to understand...

  Are we able to control scale of pattern fill?
Posted by: Ritergeek - 12-12-2020, 08:50 PM - Forum: General questions - Replies (3)

I know how to select a pattern for use with bucket fill, but I cannot find a way to make the tiles larger. The GIMP user manual just mentions it's available, but that's about it. I am unable to find anything addressing this. Is it even possible? 

I did scale the entire layer as a workaround, but surely there's a better way. Is there a plug-in for this?

  how can I combine a lot of pictures into one perfectly?
Posted by: kenny1999 - 12-12-2020, 10:40 AM - Forum: General questions - Replies (1)

for example
four images to be combined into one image, at the moment, I do it through 
checking their pixels' dimension, and then creating a big new image, and
then copy and paste onto the new image

It is okay but it is hard to align them nicely with a mouse and 
calculating pixels dimension isn't enjoyable, especially when there are a lot of images to create

is there any wiser way to have a lot of images to be combined into one image?

should be done through GIMP

  Gimp 2.10, question about brushes size
Posted by: postpunk - 12-11-2020, 11:28 PM - Forum: General questions - Replies (2)

Hi, i used an old version of Gimp for many many years. I've bought a new pc and i've installed the new version, Gimp 2.10.
I've a question about brushes size. In old version was easy, i took one brush and then resize it with the bar. Now i have to create a new brush for all the sizes i need, it's dramatic. Is there a way to make it faster and simple? Thank you for your time!
