  resizing in GIMP 2.10.14
Posted by: haq81 - 12-12-2019, 10:15 PM - Forum: General questions - Replies (6)

Hi there folks,

I am terrible with computers and its driving me off the wall. I just downloaded GIMP 2.10.14 mostly just to re-size my drawings that i get printed to sell them. This is my first time using GIMP or any proper photo software for that matter.

My artwork is all scanned at 600dpi and they are mostly A4 images. I need to change their sizes to A5, A6 and A3. So i go into Image>Scale, look up measurements of A3 in inches and change them. It always says my image would be more than 650MB, why is that? Maybe I need to lower the dpi? But i dont want to lower it too much incase i lose the quality of the print. Because selling my art-work, its quite important for me to have a crisp print of my work. Also another thing i notice is when i look into dimensions of my scanned A4 image, it shows at 51.344 inches height and 71.042 inches width. That cant be right?

One of the ways, I think i have got around it after speaking to someone is to open a new document, set its measurements to A3 or the size i want and then upload the image into it. 

Now I thought i might look into a way if i can change the image size of a batch which would save me going through every image. I downloaded Batch Image Manipulation Plugin, but it doesnt seem to allow me to change dimensions in inchs, mm, cm etc. It only seem to show me the option of resizing in %. 

Is there a way to change resize load of images to A3, A4, A5 measurements in a batch?

Thanks a million

  Text to OCR - offline
Posted by: Krikor - 12-12-2019, 10:14 PM - Forum: Watercooler - Replies (5)

Hi,

Could anyone indicate software that converts offline text (txt, pdf, etc) to OCR, free to Windows?

I found options for online or mobile platform use.

Any compatible with Gimp?

Thank you.

  Select tools and layers
Posted by: jimindt - 12-12-2019, 05:32 PM - Forum: General questions - Replies (7)

I open the picture and Add An Alpha Layer.

Then I outlined the image using the foreground selection tool. When I Add Layer Mask etc., everything disappears, not just the background. The model AND the background. All I get is a checkerboard displayed.

This happens regardless of which selection tool I'm using. I'm obviously doing something/not doing something to cause that. I've followed a couple of online descriptions of how to do this and just can't make only the background disappear.

How do I keep the model visible and have the background disappear?

Using Gimp 2.10.14

Question Noob desperately needs help!
Posted by: Comixfana - 12-12-2019, 05:03 AM - Forum: General questions - Replies (1)

Odd, my post didn't post? 

Anyway, trying to create my own Superhero emblems for my Daz characters, got limited success using iRay decals and the LIE editor...I'm looking to do something like this:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8CR0ssZAdiM&t=3s

He uses Photoshop, I use Gimp...and he kinda glosses over the multiple layers he uses for the Superman emblem, how would I do this in Gimp (keeping in mind I'm a noob who doesn't know what he's doing)?

Many thanks!

  help trying to make something more 'readable'
Posted by: step88 - 12-11-2019, 01:49 AM - Forum: General questions - Replies (5)

hi all, im so far only experienced with the basics of gfx editing in general

im trying to make the attached example image you see more readable, i was just wondering if anyone has any ideas as to what effects they would apply in order to make that more readable  ---  so for example, is there a way to reduce empty space between the dots of the letters? (would that be the right approach to the problem?)   or, instead should the goal be to make the letters darker?  or thicker?

(im new to gimp so if you have some recommended effects to try for this issue please let me know)

thanks for any tips  Smile

  How to achieve texture gradient?
Posted by: marigolden - 12-10-2019, 09:26 PM - Forum: General questions - Replies (1)

How do I get a similar stippling effect that is on the lighter parts of the blue & white gradient of these trees? I have a different tree that’s colored solid white aside from its brown trunk so it didn’t stand out of the background I wanted to put it on. So this is the sort of effect I want. I fuzzy selected the top of my white tree, picked 2 color swatches, then stretched the gradient tool in a vertical line. So the coloring’s good to go but I just I don’t know how to get a texture effect that’s concentrated at the top and evenly transitions down like this.. How would you go about it?
Attached file + here is link to the same picture. You have to zoom in to really see it because it's subtle.

  gimp selection mask plugin
Posted by: denzjos - 12-10-2019, 10:46 AM - Forum: Tutorials and tips - Replies (9)

To manipulate part of a photo with multiple masks : https://github.com/edoardogiacomello/gimp-mask

- load a photo
- make a selection
- start the plugin (filters / Light and Shadow / Mask)
- set Number of steps, Desaturation Mode and Apply mask to
- wait for the build of masks
- click on the layers (a white frame appears arround the layer you clicked on) to use curves, levels, hue saturation, etc... (not on the masks !)

  How to get rid of color splash on color table?
Posted by: marigolden - 12-10-2019, 01:29 AM - Forum: General questions - Replies (3)

I went to darken the foreground color and see it is bathed over in pink paint...very weird. Anyone know how this happened/how to get rid of it? It doesn't seem to affect the functionality of changing the color, just makes looking at the previewed options messed up.
