  Resize pattern
Posted by: meetdilip - 05-27-2020, 05:37 AM - Forum: General questions - Replies (7)

Hi, is there any method scale a small piece of semi-transparent noise pattern to use with an HD wallpaper.

I will explain. I had one pattern like this made for a button. I would like the wallpaper to have the same texture. Either I should go through the whole process of remaking the noise or find some way to scale this small image. Any help will be great.

PS : I have Resynthesizer plugin

Photo gradient fill with symbol
Posted by: teespringgig - 05-27-2020, 02:21 AM - Forum: Older Gimp versions (2.8, 2.6....) - Replies (12)

Hello everyone,

I'm new to using gimp 2.8 so I could really use some help. I'm trying to create a gradient pattern, similar to the design attached.

Does anyone know how to recreate this gradient? I've tried using the gradient tool various ways but it only seems to go from gold to white.

If anyone has any ideas please let me know.

  Help: Drop shadow is creating a strange outline in one text
Posted by: aridavid5 - 05-26-2020, 10:38 PM - Forum: General questions - Replies (1)

A bit of background. I have 2 text layers that are a duplicate of one another. However, drop shadow is acting weird on one of them. I even duplicated the one working again to replace the other, and I got the same error.

In the top screenshot you can see how I expect it to work (how it always had before), and in the bottom one you can see that it is creating a weird black outline.

EDIT: After changing the precision, to interger instead of floating point, I stopped getting the error. Now I'm even more confused.

  curved text
Posted by: yann - 05-26-2020, 07:18 AM - Forum: General questions - Replies (2)

Hello,
is there a way to make the letters of a text along a path over a half-moon shape keep their proportions without distorting. Because each time the big letters have the outer part much wider. Thank you

  Image distortion for historical comparisons
Posted by: Piblo - 05-25-2020, 11:34 PM - Forum: Extending the GIMP - Replies (2)

Hello,

I would like to take photos of places photographed in the past (old postcards), to show the changes. The problem is that, even if we have found the place from which the old photo was taken and a roughly equivalent field width, distortions appear and make the photos noticeably different.

I wonder wheter Gimp transformation tools are suitable for this purpose. I tried most of them - most especially the unified one - but, even if they give some interesting results, I am not fully satisfied. Please, could you advice me ?

I imagine a tool which would consist in defining pairs of dots (one on the old photo, the other one on the recent photo) as done with Hugin when assembling photos to make a panoramic views. Then the distortion f the new photo would be computed. Do you know if such software exist ?

I hope having asked my question in the right section.

Thank you in advance for your help.

Regards,
Piblo

  How to know what Auto Input Level does?
Posted by: ajax - 05-25-2020, 03:53 PM - Forum: General questions - Replies (9)

Maybe I posted this question in the wrong forum.

My assumption is that "Auto" means to algorithmically do what the user could have done by manually exercising the various controls.  If so it would be most helpful to display the results in the dialogue window in the various display areas that get updated when the controls are exercised individually be the user.  Might it make sense to be able to save a good result as a preset?

Also, while good, sometimes the algorithm "over does it" just a bit and the user ought to be able to tweak it just a bit.  The way I'm doing it produces no clue about what was done that may have been a pretty darn good place to start.

  My thumbnails have turned black?
Posted by: Risk - 05-24-2020, 06:22 PM - Forum: General questions - Replies (1)

When I export a transparent png file the background of the thumbnail is black. When I open the image it's white. I've made 100's of images and in the past, they show the thumbnails with a white background. Only new images have changed to black. The older ones are still white. I check the file in gimp and it is indeed transparent. What has changed?>
