  rough b/w line smoothing in GIMP?
Posted by: chlyde - 10-16-2019, 03:10 PM - Forum: General questions - Replies (7)

hi,

so, how's the rough/pixelated line smoothing in GIMP?

I just got done trying to use Corel PaintShop - do I have to paint a smooth line?

doesn't seem to work very well on black/white line drawings.

thanks

  Finding duplicate/similar pictures
Posted by: david - 10-16-2019, 11:26 AM - Forum: Watercooler - Replies (2)

Recently I was looking for a means of identifying duplicate and similar photographs. Dupeguru would appear to fit the requirement, but I was unable to find a version to download which was compatible with Ubuntu 18.04.

During my search I came across https://similar.pictures/index.html by Vitali Fedulov. A trial of this very quickly identified similar pictures in a folder of approximately 2,500 images.
I hope that in the future this will be extended to enable use of the results which it finds.

  Genius tablet - minor problem
Posted by: david - 10-16-2019, 11:12 AM - Forum: General questions - Replies (4)

I have a Genius EasyPen i405x. Whenever I open GIMP it is greyed-out in Input Devices. If I go to LibreOfficeDraw it works. Re-opening GIMP shows it in Input Devices and it then works. This is only a minor irritation, but a solution may help others.

GIMP 2.10.12
Ubuntu 18.04

More importantly, I think it is overdue that there be a vote of thanks to Rich, Ofnuts and others who give their unstinting help on this and other websites.

  High Pass filtering 2.8 vs. 2.10
Posted by: Espermaschine - 10-15-2019, 03:08 PM - Forum: General questions - Replies (9)

The manual way of making a High Pass Filter (that is also used in RobA's script) is:

  1. duplicate image
  2. desaturate
  3. invert
  4. reduce opacity to 50%
  5. gaussian blur
  6. merge down

When you do the steps in 2.8, the image becomes 50% gray at step 4.

This is not true for 2.10, unless you set the Blendmodes to Legacy.

I know Gimp 2.10 has a GEGL High Pass Filter, but i want to understand the "wiring under the board".

The only 2.10 procedure i can up with is:
  1. duplicate image
  2. desaturate
  3. invert
  4. set layermode to 'Grain Merge'
  5. gaussian blur
  6. merge down
So what is going on ? What has changed that makes the old way dysfunctional ?

hi,

Maybe you can answer this.

does GIMP export/save to type PDF/A FORMAT?
I can't really find any info on what type of pdf GIMP can save to.

thanks.

  Path isn't going all the way around, intersecting at odd places
Posted by: marigolden - 10-15-2019, 12:00 AM - Forum: General questions - Replies (8)

Basically, it is all a tangled mess and I have no idea where I went wrong. Why didn't it make a neat shape instead of with all these crisscrossed sections?

  Copy paste on specific selection
Posted by: anantdamani - 10-14-2019, 11:42 AM - Forum: General questions - Replies (1)

Hi, 

I am not a graphics designer, but using Gimp for some small fixes. 

Attached is the drape image of bed linen, with pillows covers being of a different design than the bedsheet. 

I need to now change the pillow cover design make it the same as the bedsheet design. Meanwhile, need to retain the shape of the pillow covers. 

Would greatly appreciate if someone can advise how to copy and paste selection from the bedsheet on the pillow covers, and still retain the shape. 

A.
