  GIMP for shapes
Posted by: Green Pig - 10-08-2019, 02:43 PM - Forum: General questions - Replies (3)

Hello folks,

I have been using GIMP on and off mainly for photo editing. My next task is to explore creating designs using mainly shapes such as directional arrows similar to below image.

Having experimented with pasting into a blank canvas, the options available seems fairly limited "the selection has no editable parameters" is often encountered, really what I would like to know is this a good tool to use or would I be better learning say a vector based program and go from there?

Thank you

  Padding Selection
Posted by: akovia - 10-07-2019, 01:02 AM - Forum: General questions - Replies (2)

Something I have always been curious about is why selection tools can reach out into the padding past the canvas. The adjustment handles land past the canvas edges and I can't think of a reason why that would be useful. I'm sure someone has an answer though.

I believe an option to Constrain to Canvas Edges would be useful. Then you could over-select with a tool and grab the adjustment handles right where you want to make the adjustment. It's a small thing but seems much more intuitive to me. 

Anyone else ever thought this too?

  Subtract From Selection. Bucket-Fill-Tool outside shape
Posted by: datalars@mail.com - 10-05-2019, 01:25 PM - Forum: Older Gimp versions (2.8, 2.6....) - Replies (6)

I'm a total gimp-newbie and this is probably an easy thing to do but I'm failing. I have three layers. 

Layer 1. An image
Layer 2. A color(I chose foreground) which I have made a bit transparent.
Layer 3. A shape that does not totally cover layer two.

This shape I filled with a color with Bucket-Fill-Tool. That was no problem. But I want to fill the area outside the shape instead. I tried to do
Layer -> Transparency -> Subtract From Selection
but it didn't work. Any help is appreciated.

I just realized I posted in the wrong Forum. Sorry about that. This can be deleted.

  ofn-interleave-layers
Posted by: Ofnuts - 10-04-2019, 10:24 PM - Forum: Extending the GIMP - Replies (1)

This is the successor of interleave-layers:

  • Support for the Gimp 2.10 layer modes (but should still work in Gimp 2.8)
  • Better handling of the layer names
  • Repackaged as .ZIP with self-contained documentation
At the usual place. Enjoy.

  selection tool frustration
Posted by: Eazy314 - 10-04-2019, 02:52 PM - Forum: General questions - Replies (5)

Does anybody know how to select an angle to fill without it "smart selecting" the angle?
all I want to do is overlay a polygon angle selection over the image I uploaded here and fill it with black
I tried the free selection tool and the paths tool and no success. I just want a clean edge instead of a pixelated edge and there is no reason the selection tool shouldn't be able to do this in my mind.
Thank you for any help!

  Solid background
Posted by: GeorgeG - 10-04-2019, 01:45 AM - Forum: General questions - Replies (17)

I  have a project that I am printing to transparent adhesive stickers. My text and images are various solid opaque colors as desired. The rest of the image background has been transparent so the color of the surface that I am applying the stickers too shows through. Now I need a version where there is a solid off white background color in the bottom most layer so that the underlying object color is completely obscured. So far all I can produce is a translucent background color. 

I need some guidance.

Thanks,

George

  gimp-forum Imagus sieve
Posted by: akovia - 10-03-2019, 10:45 PM - Forum: Gimp-Forum.net - No Replies

I created a simple Imagus "sieve" filter for use on Gimp-Forum.net and thought I'd share it. I'm sure it could be improved upon as I'm not a coder, but it works fine so far.

If you haven't tried it, Imagus is a fantastic extension for quickly showing full size web images. I made a little video showing it in action.





edit: The instructions on how to import a rule is on the Imagus reddit site
Just wanted to apologize for the audio hum. Didn't hear it till I played it back on headphones. :\
