Hello,

  Please forgive this newbie..probably silly...question, but is there a way to simulate a 30x optical zoom in Gimp?  I have an image shot on my Nikon D3300 at 18-mm of the entrance of the sanctuary of my church.  I need to zoom into the picture as though the image was shot from a 30x optical PTZ camera at its tightest shot.  Do I just zoom into the picture with "30 times magnification?" Thanks for the help.

Hi. I am a novice GIMP user. I have 2.10.8 and G'MIC. Retired, I look at GIMP as a way to stay "mentally challenged". One thing I like to work on are old family pictures, with some having the coherent noise patterns that I thought Fourier Transform could improve. I have watched youtube videos on G'MIC Fourier Transform, but the tutorial directions I've found don't align with what I see in G'MIC - Frequencies - Fourier Transform. Could someone direct me to tutorials or instructions that align with the Fourier Transform I see in 2.10.8?  THANKS for any information or suggestions!!!

Is there a feature in GIMP that can quickly complete/fill in patchy, incomplete line-work like in the image attached? The image is part of a scanned inked-in drawing that has been converted to indexed colors using a black and white (1-bit) palette. No other modifications were made to the scanned image.

Has something changed between 2.10.12 and 2.10.14 that would cause the Saul-Goode Luminosity Masks script to not work properly?

   

The attached .png is a shot of my channels window after running the script. The LL and LLL are completely black, while the D is totally white. I would expect the normal graduation from one step to the next.

I have downloaded a fresh copy of the script, run it through Tim's Constantize Filter and get exactly the same results.

Any help and advice much appreciated.

I have a lenovo ideapad flex. It comes with a touchscreen. I also have a lenovo active pen. I can draw with it on GIMP, but I can't get it to register pressure. Also, I tried to change my input devices settings, but I can't find an active pen in the menu. I think GIMP might think it's just the core pointer.

Does GIMP have support for this kind of device? It works with some other drawing applications that I've tried.

Hi,

I've read a dozen of forum answers about how to suppress "a color" but I can't find how to change a color range. Yet, the "rotate colors" tool enables me to beautifully target the desired range, but I can only change it to another color (not including white unfortunately). I can't change it to transparent.

I have many methods (including by moving sensitivity or selection type (composite, saturation, Hue, etc) oh each tool) to no avail, mainly because the zone has different shades of green and has hair accross it:
o select by color
o select with magic wand
o Color to alpha
o and several other methods I don't even remember now, probably all tools that can be found in "Colors".


What is frustrating is that I know from "rotate colors" that GIMP can identify this range.

Any ideas welcome!

Thanks a lot,

So, I'm trying to use this autosave plugin. I downloaded the file and unzipped it and put the .py file into the GIMP 2\lib\gimp\2.0\python folder. But when I opened GIMP, I can't find anything that says "auto-save" or something like it. According to the author, it should be in the "menu-image-bar under '<Image>/Extensions/Plugins-Python/File'". I don't know where this is and I can't find it. Please help, I don't know much about coding, GIMP or anything relevant in general.

On his web site Partha says he has not succeeded in building a stable, Mac-usable 2.10.12 version of GIMP. Since his builds are the only way I know to integrate nufraw into GIMP for the Mac, and since 2.10.8 crashes on my systems rather often*, I wonder if any macOS people are working on 2.10.12 for Mac?

Does anyone know?

Many Thanks,

Glen

Every time I open Gimp 2.10.14 the histogram defaults to the range 0,-0.  In fact, every time I open a new image this happens.  Is there any way to set it to default 0,255?  Also, am I the only one with this issue?

Hello,

First time here, glad I found this forum because I really need your help. I'm not a graphic artist or anything like that, is just that I was looking for a tool that allows me to create "paper marbling" on the computer. I'm working with a book that I would like to send to be bind by hand and you use paper marbling for the guard pages and covers as part of the binding process. There are many to chose from but I would like to make one by myself. First I found this site called, Marbelizer. Here is the creator's web site . But it is very limited. Then I remembered that I used Gimp in the past to do very basic photo editing and wonder if it was capable to do such a thing. Well I did try, I found the warp tool to be very handy and learn the basics with layers, and filters and the end result was pure and utterly crap... awful. I will show you them, not to boast on what I did but to show you my level of incompetence. I don't even know if I'm using the right tool. I heard about other program called Krita and took a look at it, but if I'm a noobie with Gimp, with Krita I will be a zero to the left. Do you know if there are Gimp filters that provides that sort of effect when you are spreading/splashing acrylic paint over water? What about the combs? For example a warp tool that have multiple "pointers" instead of one. Do you know of any tutorial to create "Gimpaper" marbling?

First examples of beautiful, professional, paper marbling on books:

Example 1, Example 2, Example 3


And now here is what I did

Paper Marbling Attempt

Best regards.
