  Changing skin tone
Posted by: meetdilip - 12-08-2019, 01:24 AM - Forum: General questions - Replies (2)

Is there any method to change the skin fairness of a person from dark to fair and vice versa ? Since there was a method which very easy to emboss one face over another, I was wondering whether something like that is available for the skin tone as well.

  Deselect for fuzzy tool not working
Posted by: marigolden - 12-07-2019, 09:28 PM - Forum: General questions - Replies (6)

I'm trying to select this frog with the fuzzy tool at 100 to put an outline on it, but I don't want an outline on the enclosed arm area on the left frog. I tried pressing control and clicking on the area which usually works but it doesn't here. I even played around with the threshold but it didn't make any difference, at a normal 15 it still has this problem. Not sure what I'm doing wrong since deselecting area usually works.

  NEW USER - overwhelmed by options - How do I...
Posted by: Colt - 12-07-2019, 09:26 PM - Forum: General questions - Replies (3)

I drew a simple line drawing with a marker on a transparency sheet.
Then I scanned it to create a digital image of the drawing on my computer.
Now I would like to do 2 things with the image:

1) Make the image solid black on a white background... Removing shade and color variance while retaining image sharpness
2) Make the program show all the little vector points so I can smooth out the line imperfections 1 by 1.

I'll include the drawing in case it helps.

  Brushes and Dynamics
Posted by: Rabbitsintheattic - 12-07-2019, 04:03 PM - Forum: General questions - Replies (3)

Hello Everyone,

I've switched over to Gimp from Photoshop and the process here just seems insanely bulky. Am I missing something? I've created several custom brushes and dynamics, but each needs to be selected separately every time I switch to a different brush, and every time I switch between the Pencil, Paintbrush, and Eraser tools. Is it possible to link custom brushes to the Pencil, Paintbrush, and Eraser tool? Is it possible to link custom dynamics to custom brushes? If not, how do you guys handle your workflow???

Thanks,
RITA

  Hue-Saturiation tool missing and closing file with X problem
Posted by: ZeroX4 - 12-07-2019, 12:06 AM - Forum: General questions - Replies (4)

so i just switched from 2.8 to 2.10 from https://portableapps.com/apps/graphics_p...p_portable



1st thing
i miss hue-saturation tool from toolbox (edit > preferences > toolbox) if any 1 know folder location of tools i believe i could just copy and paste it from older version
since that exact same thing worked with theme and language folder
or maybe its gone forever?

2nd thing
on 2.8 pressing X (the one in upper right corner of whole window) while i had any image open (or multiple images) did just close last active image and then when all images are closed X was well closing gimp itself
but now X brings window that warns me there are images with unsaved changes and do i want to discard them
then just closes if i chose to discard
my question here is is there a way/option to revert it back to as it was in 2.8 like i described above?

  Change color of a smiley face
Posted by: johnorion - 12-06-2019, 09:39 PM - Forum: General questions - Replies (2)

Brand new to this.  This is basic, but I've been through several tutorials and can't seem to figure this out, everything involves manually tracing the image which seems impossible to me by mouse.  

How do I change the color from white to something else?

Thanks so much!


Color select -> bucket does this:

What's the way to get this correct??

  Trying to Open png file.
Posted by: Phantom54 - 12-06-2019, 09:33 AM - Forum: General questions - Replies (6)

I am using GIMP 2.10.14 in Windows 10 64bit.  For whatever reason, GIMP will not open any png files.  This includes those I have created by exporting as png and then trying to open them back into GIMP.  Other packages seem to have no trouble opening them.  If I use other packages to convert png files to jpg, GIMP will open them.

I have tried completely uninstalling and reinstalling GIMP and I have tried to bring png files into GIMP with - Windows 'open with', and GIMP open file.  Nothing works.  It appears to be a permission problem.  See below.

Please help.

  How do I make the boundary fit the item?
Posted by: marigolden - 12-05-2019, 08:51 PM - Forum: General questions - Replies (2)

I made a new layer to trace part of the image with the path tool and fill it in with color to solve the blur on a simple cartoon eye as the wonderful akovia showed me in a message. Then I copy pasted (for the 2nd eye) I realized the boundary was as big as the image itself, meaning the dash-lined square around the item, is all the way out so it's harder to move around and resize. How do I bring it in to fit the item?
