  Is it possible to get the border around a rectangle selection to disappear?
Posted by: marigolden - 11-18-2019, 01:24 PM - Forum: General questions - Replies (1)

I used the rectangle tool to make a selection like you would the path tool, I figured this was easier, but the border doesn't go away even when I click select>none and have a different tool pressed. Should I just not have used the rectangle tool then? Is the border impossible to get rid of?

  clean-up
Posted by: jappie - 11-17-2019, 09:46 PM - Forum: General questions - Replies (2)

Hello

This is my first post here, I'm a complete newbie to Gimp. I use it sometimes to "posterize" pictures I have taken with my digital camera. That's all  I do.

I was looking at a youtube video last week, the guy is restoring old machinery, and used GIMP to clean up a image he had scan. I would like to know HOW to do the same, can someone help me. I'm more of a garage guy than an artist Smile

You can find his technic at 10:05.  of this video :https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fWikGne44F0
thank you

Jean-Pierre

  package lcms2 was not found in the pkg-config search path
Posted by: jgw0 - 11-17-2019, 08:43 PM - Forum: Linux and other Unixen - Replies (3)

Quote: I am running with ubuntu 18.04.3

I was trying to make beautify which is a plugin for gimp 2.10.16 I got the error: package lcms2 was not found in the pkg-config search path

I then did a search of lcms2 and got:

I found something called "liblcms2.so.2" which may be what I need or do I have to install lcms2?  If what I have is what I need then am I going to have to add something to pkg-config search path?  I, obviously, am clueless so but figured I had better get some advise instead of charging ahead.

Thank you........................

  Bumping text
Posted by: carmen - 11-17-2019, 03:50 PM - Forum: Tutorials and tips - Replies (7)

Well, I was trying for some definite effects on a text layer. Here is what I got:
    --first try
    --second try
    --third try.
The last one gets closer to what I was after--grateful if anybody can suggest a way to improve on it.
All 3 began from a bent text (thanks, Ofnuts!) colored with a blue-to-white linear gradient, to which I applied the follwing bump map (minimun blur):
   
1. default options, depth decreased to 2
2. same, azimuth moved to nearly vertical, plus bottom 2px removed (layer mask), because of too much white
3. is 2, minus the mask and with the bump map repeated, options as in 1.

As I said, the result isn't all I wished for, being quite new to bump maps... 
Any ideas?

  sRGB internal processing and bit depth
Posted by: hajes29a - 11-17-2019, 11:37 AM - Forum: General questions - Replies (2)

from GIMP documentation I understand that GIMP processes internally all in 3x32b floating point no matter what bit depth is used.

What puzzles me most - sRGB is 8bit gamma corrected and if I import 3x16b TIFF, what happens to image originally exported with ProPhoto RGB???

is sRGB just for preview and all available data 3x16b are used for processing anyway, please?

I do not know how to explain it, hopefully you understand.

  Remove eyeglass distortion
Posted by: garce - 11-16-2019, 03:23 PM - Forum: General questions - Replies (6)

I am a newbie with GIMP 2.10.12
I am trying to remove the distortion introduced by glasses
I have come across this tutorial for photoshop
Basically the way I understand it:
1. Load image on layer 1
2. Select area inside eyeglass
3. Paste in new layer 2
4. Add layer mask to layer 2
5. Stretch image on layer 2. Layer mask should "restrict" the visible area to the original glass area

Well I am not getting it to work. Sorry I am pretty sure this is basic
When I stretch the image the layer mask is not covering anything. Appreciate any assistance...

Bug Gimp can not read/display images on the Ubuntu18.04LTS subsystem in Win10
Posted by: xinyuan - 11-15-2019, 01:40 AM - Forum: Older Gimp versions (2.8, 2.6....) - Replies (2)

I have installed Ubuntu18.04LTS subsystem in Win10. Gimp are also installed and updated.


the gimp error messgaes:
(1) when I open gimp with the code: "export DISPALY=:0.0, gimp", an error message will be shown in the Ubuntu terminal, as shown in the below,

Failed to execute child process “dbus-launch” (No such file or directory)
(gimp:1109): GLib-GObject-WARNING **: 10:18:49.757: g_object_set_is_valid_property: object class 'GeglConfig' has no property named 'cache-size'
/usr/bin/dbus-launch terminated abnormally without any error message

(2) when I would like to read a image(gimp can not open .eps, .jpeg, but can open PDF file ) with gimp, a gimp message will appear as the following,
Opening '/home/qixycn/P1structure.eps' failed:
Permission denied

I truely hope someone can help me solve these problems. It has troubles me about a week. I'm so frustrated. Thank you in advance.

  ofn-luminosity-masks
Posted by: Ofnuts - 11-14-2019, 11:19 AM - Forum: Extending the GIMP - Replies (21)

My own take on luminosity masks. While it pays its dues to PatDavid's canonical tutorial on the subject, it creates the same masks using a different and (hopefully) more efficient method that allows:

  • to create a luminosity selection from the current layer in one single click (or one keystroke if you defined shortcuts)
  • in a future version, to define your own masks
As usual the script can be found here.  Restrictions in this version:

* Only PatDavid's masks, no custom masks yet
* Only for Gimp 2.10 (seems to hit a bug in 2.8)

Enjoy.
