Photo Why is "Channel to Selection" brighter than same extracted channel?
Posted by: ChameleonScales - 07-12-2020, 04:53 PM - Forum: General questions - Replies (5)

As shown below, an extracted channel (here blue) gives a brighter result when using the "Channel to Selection" context menu item and creating a mask from that selection compared to using Colors>Components>Decompose or Color>Components>Extract Component (which both give the correct result):

Original:

Extracted blue channel:

Channel to Selection (on blue):

Is this intended and what is the reason?

Big Grin Corel PaintShop Pro 2020 Shortcuts for Gimp 2.10.20
Posted by: migf1 - 07-11-2020, 09:47 PM - Forum: Extending the GIMP - Replies (2)

A little while ago I posted Photoshop 2018 bindings for Gimp 2.10.20, and I justy had to do it for Corel Paintshop Pro too (PSP for short)...

Homepage (on DeviantArt)
Alternative (on gnome-look, for non-DA members)

PaintShop Pro rivals Photoshop since the beginning of time, but it only runs on Windows. If you've moved to Linux or macOS (or use them on the side) you are probably using Gimp as a PSP alternative. These keyboard & mouse bindings will hopefully get your life a little easier, until you fully adopt to Gimp's native way of doing things.

As far as I know and as of this writing, these are the most up to date, and frankly the only PaintShop Pro bindings for Gimp, available anywhere (there is also an on-line reference, as a Google Sheet).

Have a look at the included Readme.txt file for full details & instructions.

  Brush/Gradient/Swatch sets vs singles?
Posted by: Mithalogica - 07-11-2020, 12:24 AM - Forum: Extending the GIMP - Replies (5)

New switcher from PS here (CS.5), running on MacOSX 10.13 (I know, and old version, it has to do with my Windows BootCamp - long story). Point is, I'm a bit confused and want to be sure I'm understanding correctly. 

In PS, things like brushes, gradients, patterns, etc. are stored as sets. So a brush file (.abr) or gradient file (.grd) might hold a dozen or more brushes, or elated gradients and so on. These can also be loaded dynamically, from any folder, from within PS. 

From what I"m seeing, in order to use these kinds of add-ons in GIMP, I need to add them as single items? And they all get dumped in the application package itself? That seems....unwieldy at best? 

I have roughly 3.5 GB of brushes, 250 MB of patterns, a hundred or so gradeint sets with as many as 10, 20, or more gradients each. Imagining trying to find what I'm looking for with everything individually sounds hellish, and I suspect it would slow things to a crawl.

I also keep these in my Dropbox Folder so they get updated as I add new things, and I can load them into Photoshop on any machine I'm working on. I'm guessing having GIMP itself reside on DB and be run from different machines would play havoc with the app, so how could I keep my resources up to date on multiple machines?

Am I just vastly misunderstanding how GIMP handles these resources? Halp! Thank you all!

Sad Fonts or visual problem???
Posted by: rtrenado - 07-10-2020, 10:03 AM - Forum: Windows - Replies (5)

Hello!

I've just recently installed Gimp 2.10.20 at Windows 10 and when it opens the GUI some text/fonts shows wrong. Maybe a language conversion problem?  Huh 

Please see attachments...

I can no longer export to psd. Everytime I try this message box pops up. 
What can I do?

Picture not working

"Calling error for procedure 'gimp-item-get-image':
Procedure 'gimp-item-get-image' has been called with value '3' for arument item (#1, type GimpitemID) This value is out of range[Image: a6anJnf]


I uninstalled GIMP .10 completely and reinstalled it. Fixed the problem. What if it happens again? Or what caused it?

  Font doesn't appear after adding it
Posted by: SonEfAdam - 07-08-2020, 01:27 PM - Forum: General questions - Replies (2)

Hello. I added a font and refreshed the font list. It didn't appear. I restarted GIMP. It still didn't appear. So I just gave up and used Pixlr. The next day I opened GIMP and the font was there. Any help would be appreciated.

Thank you!

Exclamation Gimp won't reopen a saved xcf file!
Posted by: godmoney - 07-07-2020, 10:10 PM - Forum: General questions - Replies (6)

Hello!

I've encountered a really weird issue with Gimp and saved xcf files. After doing some work and saving as an xcf, nothing displays when I return to that work if I have closed Gimp entirely. My layers will display in the Layers dialog to my right, but all I see is a transparent layer. Everything is "visible" according to the eyes next to each layer. I also noticed that I cannot click on ANYTHING within Gimp - it just won't work. Does anyone have a clue to this? I'm using 2.10 on a fully updated MacBook Pro.

Bug Old-photo-bakumatu incompatible with 2.10.21
Posted by: Krikor - 07-07-2020, 06:45 PM - Forum: Extending the GIMP - Replies (6)

Hi,
Win10, Gimp 2.10.21 Sam's Portable, Script old-photo-bakumatu.scm.

I got this script from a link provided by @Nidhogg at http://gimpchat.com/viewtopic.php?f=9&t=...10#p237580, and I really like it, both the results it produces directly and the possibilities it allows to be added manually after its execution.

It has always worked in the previous 2.10 versions I have used of Gimp, but in this current version (2.10.21 Sam's Portable) unfortunately it does not seem to be compatible and has errors and does not run completely.

The error messages are always as shown below, with the exception of the value called for the Plasma plugin (plug-in-plasma), these values always change, even for the same image.
   

I wish someone could fix this script, make it functional again.

Thanks in advance!

Question Create partially removed old sticker
Posted by: BEYSTE - 07-06-2020, 01:44 PM - Forum: General questions - Replies (2)

Hi,

I know it's a bad habit, that the first post of someone mostly is a question, but here I am searching the complete web for an answer without finding one.
Here is what I am trying to achieve: I want to create a top view picture of a wooden board, where are a lot of stickers are attached. But I want them to look old, like somebody tried to clean the board, so the stickers are partially removed and they should look old.
I did not find any tutorial showing this specific task. (I have to say I am nothing near a designer, so my knowledge is very basic, that's why I need tutorials.)
Until now I made the stickers look old by duplicating the original sticker layer. The original layer is set to "Multiply" and opacity to 50%. The duplicated layer is set to "Burn" and opacity to 70%. As the last step I added and old paper texture at the bottom layer.  (Tutorial for creating old maps/paper)
I also tried to play around a bit with the layer mask to create this "ripped off"-effect. I did not get these white marks, which are present when a sticker is ripped off.
I also created a script to do the steps (without the layer mask). And I wrote a small C# app, to randomly positioning and rotating all the stickers on my background. (I am a C# developer, so it was easier for me to do it in C#)
Here are two samples of what I want to achieve:
[Image: partially-removed-political-stickers-con...R7T5F3.jpg] 
[Image: img-20150719-wa0001.jpg]

The second is 100% what I want the stickers to look like.
Does anyone here have an idea how I can create such a look? The best would be if there were any scripts/filters, because I want to have at least 100 stickers on the board. But any advice would help.

Thanks in advance!
