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.

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

   

   

   

   

Hello,
I've  updated today  Mac to Catalina 10.15.1 but my GIMP stopped working....I could not open any files..
Error printed on GIMP:

Could not read the contents of Desktop

I've resetted  GIMP but no result.
How to fix error and be able to get images?

thanks.
Tatyana.

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)

Hi,
I have a photo of test paper.When taking this picture, the paper was not laid flat. Now I'd like to flatten the curved part. How to do it? thank a lot.

hello

I've scanned in an old family wedding photograph.

Unfortunately the image seems to have gotten damaged by mould, which make it look as though the participants were wearing mouldy clothes !

I can get around the smaller smudges by using the clone tool.

can anyone advise a better approach, especially for the larger sections ?

I am using Gimp 2.10.12

many thanks,

Tawe

Good day

I would like to ask you to edit this photo. On the left, people are quite blurred. And I would like to center the whole picture. I can't work in
graphic programs. And I don't even know English very well, so I apologize. Meeting from elementary school 45 years. Or adjust to print a little bit better.

Thank you very much for any help.

Sincerely

Jan Smigura

hello,

have been using gimp 2.8.22 for a while on xp3 (32-bit) platform.  wanted to move to vista sp1 (64-bit) platform.  i used the same install for both machines since i cant find a specific vista 64 bit install (gimp-2.8.22-setup)?  research suggested that gimp checks if 32 or 64 bit and installs accordingly (is that correct?)?

everything is working the same on both machines except "python-fu" is not loading/being displayed.   i have verified the folders setup and i have used the plugin browser which does not show the plugins (ex. fog, heal selection).

i have attached shots of user library, program library, gimp shot, and computer details..

i am not sure how to tell or when python is "installed" on this machine?

any help or direction would be appreciated..

thanks dhugg

Hello to all,

I want to work on a picture that I took with my samsung. I wanted to add stuff on  a part of the picture and manually put some black on it (you can do it with any phone I guess). I registered the pic on my onedrive, but I now want to remove the part that I previously add to get the picture back to its oirginal look. Do you know if there is a way to do it with gimp?
