  Alignment tool layer lock 2.10.10
Posted by: FatAliB - 06-20-2019, 12:25 AM - Forum: General questions - Replies (3)

In GIMP 2.10.10 layer locking works fine with the move tool, ie all locked layers are moved, but has no apparent effect using the Alignment tool, where only the currently set layer is aligned.
Is this a 'feature' or a bug?

  Selection to transparent - unexpected results
Posted by: SevenLime - 06-19-2019, 07:24 PM - Forum: General questions - Replies (2)

Hi guys,

I see this happen sometimes but never bothered to ask before now. Check out the two screenshots I took while editing an image of a phone. Notice the result after I clear a selection made with either fuzzy select or color select. 

Fuzzy select (2nd image):
1) Why is the content around the inside edge of the selection still partially visible?
2) Why is the content around the outside edge of the selection partially cleared? That area is outside the  selection so I imagine it shouldn't be changed. Maybe I have some fade setting enabled?
Confused Confused

Color select (3rd image):
1) Why is there a translucent trail creeping up the edge of the phone? That trail was not shown as part of the color selection (zoom in to see the selection ants). If I turn the threshold way down then try to select and delete, that trail does not form.
Huh  

Thanks a bunch from a new user. Happy to be here Blush

  Using the Crop tool to enlarge the canvas
Posted by: Ofnuts - 06-17-2019, 06:01 PM - Forum: Tutorials and tips - Replies (8)

10 years of Gimp usage, and never noticed the Allow growing setting in the Crop tool. When you set it, you can use the crop tool to make the canvas/layer bigger.

  drag-drop image in layer turned to black and white [solved]
Posted by: gimpmel - 06-15-2019, 05:45 AM - Forum: General questions - Replies (3)

Hi,
I upgraded to GIMP 2.10. 12 yesterday and when I dropped an image into a new layer with white or transparent background, the image (drop buffer) turned to black and white. How can I prevent this from happening?

I'm using PCLOS KDE 5.

  Preferences slow to open
Posted by: ipco - 06-13-2019, 02:55 PM - Forum: Windows - Replies (5)

I am a new GIMP user and just installed ver 2.10.10
GIMP opens very fast - 15 seconds but when I open Edit/Preferences it takes 2 minutes 32 seconds consistently. I've opened/closed this several times and it's always the same,2.32. It appears it may be searching its own folders for each time. Is this normal behaviour or do I need to configure something?

I noticed in Folders there are two locations for everything
C:\Users\MyName\AppData\Roaming\GIMP\2.10\icons
C:\Program Files\GIMP-2.10.10\gimp\share\gimp\2.0\icons

Is this normal?

I am using Windows 10 Professional (x64) 
4 core
8GB ram
NVIDIA GeForce GT 640

Thank you

  How do I get rid of shadows on face photos for 3d models
Posted by: fast_cat - 06-11-2019, 02:00 PM - Forum: General questions - Replies (2)

I am trying to make up for the imperfect lighting conditions in a couple photos I took that I want to turn into textures for 3d models. The lighting on the sides of the nose, face, under the eyebrows, etc, are a slightly darker shade, and I have had trouble experimenting with the tools while being inexperienced with gimp. I would ideally like to have a brush which would lighten only a selected color. Thanks in advance for any help that I might receive.

  Blackest Pixel
Posted by: Dirk - 06-09-2019, 09:13 PM - Forum: Scripting questions - Replies (4)

Hi

I'm writing a python script to cleanup a scan text document. (I'll have to cleanup thousands of pages)
Is there a way to determine what is the darkest pixel in the image?
I want to use "pdb.gimp_image_select_color" using the darkest pixel (which is not always pure black (0, 0, 0))

  Retaining quality with PDF
Posted by: GoGojira - 06-09-2019, 05:17 AM - Forum: General questions - Replies (4)

Hi all,

I need to produce a professional print quality image in PDF from a gimp project. The problem is Gimp 2.10 seems to be  lowering the quality of the image to about a quarter of the original resolution when I export to PDF, with no visible settings (at least to my eye) to change quality. My "print size" settings are correct, I did check that.

I've added an image of the problem below. Note the resolution of the original project, and the resolution of the PDF file in the info at the left.

So please help me. How can I produce a PDF image and retain the original quality of the image? Any input is greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.
