  Antialiasing filter having no effect
Posted by: nekivud - 02-12-2019, 02:21 PM - Forum: General questions - Replies (6)

I have an image and am trying to apply the antialiasing filter.  I have followed the instructions here, and have gotten the filter to work correctly using the same sample image as in the instructions.  However, when I try to use my own image the filter has no effect, i.e. nothing visibly changes.  The image originally had a transparent background, which I thought might be the issue, so I converted the image to be only black pixels on a white background (exactly like the sample image), but the filter still has no effect.

I'm brand new to GIMP, and I'd appreciate any help with this, thanks!

  What happened to the old palettes (.gpl files)
Posted by: M.V. - 02-10-2019, 11:30 PM - Forum: General questions - Replies (7)

Hi

I start by saying that I'm kinda a newbie with (gimp) palettes

When I created palettes until 2.8 version the colors were stored in gimp 2.8 ->palettes, it was useful as I could copy them for back-up purposes or migrate them in another machine like a laptop, but since version 2.10, I can't find the new palettes I created with the latest gimp anywhere, I used search function many times and only the old ones are still there. What when I have to change my PC soon and I want to import the colors from 2.10 to the new machine?

I tried export option: working only .txt and .css extensions, with the other formats gimp says error during the process

Import: nothing of the two remaining above is working, gimp says there isn't any color to import...

I tried to export an indexed .png and import colors from there (so I can use pngs as backup and for migration) but gimp says that the palette is unknown...

  Lost trancparency when pasting PNG from browser?
Posted by: Karl2345 - 02-10-2019, 12:17 PM - Forum: General questions - Replies (1)

Hi guys,
I'm having a quit annoying problem for a few days now. If i want to paste a transparent image from my browser (Firefox) into Gimp, the transparency gets lost and what used to be transparent is filled with black. I've tried to copy and paste another transparent PNG from a different browser, but still the same problem. Is there a simple way to solve this problem?

Greetings Karl

Big Grin How to create goose pimples/pores on skin?
Posted by: cramlow - 02-09-2019, 04:31 PM - Forum: General questions - Replies (3)

Hi forum -

I play a game where we can create avatar skin and some creators are probably using some expensive software to emulate realistic skin features and I'd like to get some advice on how I can mimic goose pimples and pores on skin realistically in Gimp. I know if can be done in Gimp and I've had some success, but it's not great.

Any pro tips on how this can be done is vastly appreciated.


Links provide examples of what I'm referring to:

  Resizing images into squares
Posted by: IAmFrenk - 02-09-2019, 03:28 PM - Forum: Scripting questions - Replies (7)

Hello everyone,

I was fiddling around with BIMP (Batch Image Manipulation Plugin) and I ran into a problem I couldn't solve.
I have a large amount of images that I want to make square.
Example: if an image is 500x700, it should be resized to 700x700, without stretching the image, and while keeping the image centered.

Anyone any idea how I can fix my problem?

Thanks in advance!

Cheers,
Frenk

  Surface Pen on Surface Go
Posted by: ObsidianGeek - 02-08-2019, 03:49 PM - Forum: General questions - No Replies

If this is answered already, please share the thread with me.  I have tried different keywords in the search and the threads that popped up haven't been my issue or didn't help.

I am trying to get my surface pen to show up as an input device in Gimp on my Surface Go.  So far it's not even listed in the list of input controllers let alone devices.  It works fine in sketchbook and everything else, just not Gimp.

I changed the dynamics on my brush to pressure opacity, nothing.  I updated all drivers and windows and still nothing. I am at a loss.  My only alternative I can think of is Photoshop, which I don't care for at all.  Either that or go and purchase a Wacom Bamboo Ink stylus specifically for Gimp (as I have seen people saying that works well). 

Has anyone had this issue and found the solution?  I need pressure sensitivity to work in Gimp.  Please help if you can.  Thanks.
