  Photoshop 2018+ Bindings for Gimp 2.10.20
Posted by: migf1 - 07-02-2020, 06:54 AM - Forum: Extending the GIMP - No Replies

Hello everybody,

after almost 10 days working on it, I finally finished yesterday a small project that will hopefully help people switching from Photoshop to Gimp.

I am pasting some basic info from its Readme.txt file below, but you should read the file itself for a lot more details, instructions, etc.

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

Switching from Photoshop to Gimp can be challenging. These bindings convert more than 120 Gimp 2.10.20 keyboard shortcuts to Photoshop CC 2018 (or later) equivalents, or to reasonably close ones. They also change the mouse behavior, though only zooming by scrolling the wheel without needing the Ctrl key matches Ps behavior (however, the mouse bindings will hopefully make your life a little easier regardless).

AFAIK (and as of this writing) these are the most comprehensive and the most up to date Photoshop bindings for Gimp, available anywhere. The Complete Reference is available online as a Google Sheet.

If your favorite Photoshop keyboard-shortcut is missing or works differently, first have a look at the "KEY BINDINGS (INCOMPATIBILITIES RATIONALE)" section, in the included Readme.txt file.

To further customize the bindings yourselves, see the "BINDINGS CUSTOMIZATION" section, in the Readme.txt file.

There is no setup, you only need to replace 2 files (menurc and controllerrc) in Gimp's configuration folder. Keep a backup first, so you can restore your prior customization (if any). By simply deleting those 2 files, Gimp re-creates them the next time you run it, assigning its default settings.

I've created and tested the bindings on Windows, but they should work just fine on any platform, as they should also work fine with any theme (in the ad I'm using my very own Clearlooks Gimp 2.10 Themes).

The included Readme.txt file is quite detailed, so have a look there first if you have questions.

PS. As I said in the gimpchat forum, I am using a FHD 1920x1080 monitor. If anyone is interested, I can also share my sessionrc file which takes care of the screen layout. It is the layout you see in the screen-shots of the Clearlooks themes above, making Gimp look more Photoshop-ish. I am just not sure how it will look on monitors with different resolutions, becsaue I see some hard-coded positions inside the file. Anyway, if anyone wants to try it let me know in this topic.

  Forum signature resolution requirements
Posted by: EternalSlushy - 07-02-2020, 06:26 AM - Forum: General questions - Replies (1)

Hello somewhere on this website either in the control panel or elsewhere I read the maximum signature/banner size. I'm unable to find this again! Does anybody know what the max size is?

  Strong Undo/Redo
Posted by: migf1 - 07-01-2020, 08:37 PM - Forum: General questions - Replies (2)

Hey guys,

is there a comprehensive explanation of those 2 commands anywhere? Are they even still relevant?

Google didn't help me much, neither did the docs page. All I could find was a pretty vague "You can now undo/redo multiple steps at once, useful when experimenting", in some rather old Google results.

Photo Gimp Alpha different from PNG Alpha?
Posted by: Alibasher - 06-30-2020, 12:08 PM - Forum: General questions - Replies (7)

GIMP transparency seems to behave differently from transparency after being exported to a png file.
If you take a look at the attachment. When creating a circle shaped white gradient, and creating a background layer with the left half being grey and the right half being fully transparent.
Then export to a png file and display in front of the same grey background, you get a different result. 
Is there a colour option or setting that can be changed to "fix" this behaviour?
I have also tried in Paint.net and it behaves the same as png alpha.

  Scaling images to fit into Instagram's 4x5 ratio
Posted by: lorie229 - 06-29-2020, 09:52 PM - Forum: General questions - Replies (2)

I would like to know how to resize my photos of my artwork so that their true shape (some are tall and narrow or long and narrow landscapes) fit into the Instagram 4x5 image ratio (I think that's what you call it) I would not mind if there would be white borders on the sides of my images. Without re-scaling my images, Instagram crops or reshapes them. Thank you for any info you can offer me.

  Resurrecting old color slides
Posted by: fredex - 06-29-2020, 07:25 PM - Forum: Tutorials and tips - Replies (5)

I have a large pile of color slides, most taken 45-50 years ago, on either Ektachrome or Fujichrome.

although they've been stored in boxes that keep them in the dark, the colors of many have faded, the amount seems rather variable. (there is also a good bit of dust/dirt, that I'm not going to mess with unless I can also improve the image's colors to something closer to original.)

I'm looking for ways t try to return at least some of the vitality they had when new, but am sufficiently ignorant of complex photo processing that I haven't a clue where to start.

I've tried messing with curves, contrast, hue/ etc but can't get anything I like the looks of.

Can any of you suggest things I could (learn to) do to retain at least some of the original verve?

I'm attaching an example of one of the slides.

  Custom brushes
Posted by: KesonaFyren - 06-28-2020, 11:19 PM - Forum: Extending the GIMP - Replies (1)

Sorry, super basic question here.

I'm trying to make an animated brush. When I export in Grayscale mode, I'm able to change the color, but it fills in the background so I get a bunch of different-sized squares. When I export in RGB mode, I get my images just fine but of course I can't change the brush color.

All the tutorials I can find cover either animated brushes OR color changing but not both, lol. How do I fix this?


Ach, got it. Background has to be white.

  Ghost image remains after selecting by color
Posted by: PosWeyb - 06-28-2020, 11:09 PM - Forum: General questions - Replies (3)

Huh I am not sure what I have done here.  I was attempting to remove some very faint graph marks on an image.  I used the select by color.  I then tried to delete what I had selected.  Instead I got this kind of ghost image.  I tried to move it and indeed it appeared to be a outline of what I was trying to get rid of.  But now it won't go away.   I even shut the program completely down, but it is still there.   I have attached a screen shot and the actual file.
