  How to blend image in to background color
Posted by: getsignups - 11-06-2019, 07:19 PM - Forum: General questions - Replies (7)

Hi,
I want to know how to blend the bottom of this image into the color of a black background.

It looks too abrupt at the bottom. I want to make it so that you cant tell where it actual begins and play on the silhouette theme.

Thanks!

  Dockable dialogs not docking
Posted by: firestone1 - 11-05-2019, 07:00 PM - Forum: General questions - Replies (2)

I'm trying to move a dialog box onto the area that says, you can drop dockable dialogs here, but it just moves the box over that text.

I'm dragging the index tabs and not the box itself, but when I drag the tab over an area that it should be able to dock to the white border never shows up.

If anyone has an idea of whats going on I would appreciate it very much.

Thanks.

  2.10.12 slow
Posted by: sl60 - 11-04-2019, 12:09 AM - Forum: General questions - Replies (4)

I just changed from 2.8 to 2.10.12. I'm making montages from various photos and when I open them in layers they are quite jerky to move around and position and th zoom in and out is jerky as well. I never had this problem in 2.8, even with very large templates.

Any idea what the problem is?

  removing fold shadow / highlight from a scan
Posted by: tommik128 - 11-03-2019, 01:56 PM - Forum: General questions - Replies (12)

Hi guys. I am new to GIMP. Today I was trying to balance the background of a scanned audio CD cover that had slightly different color tones (highlighted) on a folded side of a scan. Pretty much something like this issue presented on this scanned page:

http://i.imgur.com/aIU3zCH.jpg

What I used was the Select by color tool and then filled the area with Bucket fill tool with just one of the colours from the rest of the background using Color picker tool to sort of balance the overall background to get rid of that fold.

But I am wondering if you could actually fill the area with a portion of an image itself (something like cloning / healing). I can't see this option in Bucket fill tool. The reason is that I think it might look better being filled with actual scanned pattern rather than one strick colour all over.

Or is there a better way to get rid of fold shadows / highlights?


Thank you very much for your answers.

  Rendering water in a pool in a few easy steps

1) Filters>Render>Noise>Solid noise and increase the Y size to stretch the shapes horizontally

   

2) With the Curves tool, apply a curve made of 4 to 6 sines

   

   

3) Color>Map>Gradient map and map with a Dark blue to light blue gradient

  Is there a way to undo a curved path and make it straight again?
Posted by: marigolden - 11-01-2019, 10:40 PM - Forum: General questions - Replies (1)

Between nodes I'd accidentally make the line slightly curved. When I try to shape it to be as straight as possible those annoying 2 extra squares show up at either side. Is there any way to undo it entirely to make it a normal line (while not having to redo the entire path of course)
