  T-Shirt Design and best ways to approach projects using applications
Posted by: getsignups - 10-17-2019, 05:17 PM - Forum: General questions - Replies (10)

So I have some experience in Gimp and have designed over (100 ) designs, mainly simple text, although I am still very much so a beginner.
I have very little experience with designing in Inkscape but it appears pretty straight forward.

Here's the situation:
I have a design that was designed in Gimp, which contains a high resolution full color image as well as a text font I used from Gimp.
My dilemma is I want vector quality text but i dont want to vectorize the entire design, as that will change the aesthetic of the image which I want to remain realistic looking.

I am not certain how to go about using Gimp and Inkscape in combination in this case with one another.  Should the text from Inkscape be imported into Gimp or vice versa?


Also, if I take a vectorized image and output it to .png wouldn't the quality be compromised?

When its finalized I need to produce a .png file for use with Merch by Amazon.

Again, the goal is to get the crisp vector text and maintain the image quality and design I currently have in Gimp.

Sorry for the long post.

Question HP Pen?
Posted by: leautp - 10-17-2019, 02:06 PM - Forum: General questions - No Replies

Hello there,

I'm new to gimp and wanted to know if I could draw with pressure using my hp pen.
I have an HP x360 ENVY with a touchscreen. On OneNote, (not really a drawing software), the pressure is detected.
But after having followed a few tutorials for setting up a Wacom tablet (not my case), it appears to me that to set up (if possible) Gimp with my pen, I would have to use a method not listed in any previous forums.

Hope somebody will find a solution.  Big Grin

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 ?

Maybe you can answer this.
