Hello,
I use GIMP in a fairly limited way, but one item that I use all the time and would like to code into a few macros is the "Path from text" option.  I can't seem to find anywhere in GIMP where there is a shortcut for this, and am having difficulty creating my own.  

I tried creating a shortcut by enabling dynamic keyboard shortcuts in the interface section of the preferences and using ctrl + alt + p while hovering over the option, but it doesn't seem to allow creating shortcuts this way for items in the right click menu.  I also can't find the "path from text" option in the "configure keyboard shortcuts" menu.

Is this just not an option, or am I missing something ridiculously simple?

I'm trying to take an image of straight roadway and place a 90 curve in it. I figured out how to get any other curve but 90 deg doesn't look right. Any suggestions? The image will be part of a diorama layout.

Looking for the best way to resize an avatar for a website that won't result in any loss of quality (if possible). 

So far from playing around I've found 3 ways to do this.

a.) Drag and drop the image into GIMP > Image > Scale Image > Set Width & Height. (This makes the image look blurry even though I'm only reducing it by 50 pixels wide and 100 pixels tall. 

b.) Drag and drop the image into GIMP > Image > Canvas Size > Set Width & Height > Use the move tool in the canvas size window to move the image around until I've found the right spot > Click Resize. This looks much better than a.)

c.) New > Set Width & Height > Drag & Drop Image > Use Move Tool To Reposition Image. Looks clearer than a.) as well. 

So is option b.) and c.) the best way to do this absent loosing any image detail? 

Thanks.

Maybe some kinda sharpen filter will make images look cleaner / sharper afterward?

Hi There,

After having scanned despairately the net to find a simple solution (and found out this place from 
http://gimp-tools.sourceforge.net/index.shtml and previously https://sourceforge.net/projects/gimp-tools/)

I am asking help for this problem I have: a solution to remove the background of 300 dresses. 

Here are the specs
- in jpg 
- the background is not evenly white unfortunaltely

I did not find any script doing it even roughly on the net (did I miss something after 4h of search ???)

I have implemented Bimp but am blocked by not being able in Bimp to create a alpha channel from a jpg photo.

➤ Has anybody the procedure on Bimp ?
➤ or a beautiful script?

Thanks for your help !

Chris

Hi I have two questions here

1. Is there any plugins in which I can batch remove EXIF, resize, and watermark the images?

2. If there isn't one for everything, is there any plugin in which I can at least, batch remove EXIF ?

Yes I know there are third party programs but I just wish to be done inside GIMP to be more 
convenient.

Any advice?

I made an earlier post on how my templates were disappearing.

After hours of frustration and copying and pasting I have come to a dead end. I copied and pasted a template arc's contents with all the old resolutions into the new one however it says this.



I installed gimp onto another laptop and it works fine

Hi,

I have a tower and a laptop. Both on Win10, Gimp 2.10.10, and with a Frequency separation script (SS-Split-Components_v1-0.scm by Mike Ochtman)
On the laptop the script stops at the gaussian blur to let choosing the blur level.,But on the tower the script don't stop.

As I understand from that line, it's supposed to show the blur display.

I’d like to adjust the colour tone of all the aquamarine green armour plates in the top photo to the more luminous yellow-green colour in the second bottom photo. I’d like to preserve the light to dark shading in the green areas in the top photo and to leave the other colours as is. Is it possible to do this with Gimp on Windows and how please?

They’re model wargaming models and I’m thinking of painting up my collection using the nicer new models from the top photo (they come in grey plastic) but the original 1980s yellowy-green colour the faction had. I’d like to test how it might look before deciding which to go for I as could spend £20 or so on specific paints for either green. Thanks!

   

   

I'm having an issue with having a layer force transparency to a below layer. For example, I'm trying to fix the edges on a Pokemon card to have transparency. But the card has a range of colors so how would I fix this issue? https://imgur.com/E2LCp9y  

Hi there.

I have a PNG with transparent background.

I want to upload iinto GIMP.

I want to then overlay a speech bubble.

I want to then cut out whatever is in that speech bubble, and export that ... so that l have nothing that was outside of the speech bubble in the exported image.

Best l've been able to do so far merely cuts out a silhouette of whatever was in the speech bubble, minus any colours or anything like that.

All l want is a speech bubble containing a picture, that l can then paste into other larger pictures.



Seriously considering a physical paper and scissors solution right now. GIMP seems able to do anything but this. FWIW l don't for a moment think it'd be straightforward on any other art program made after 1999, when the world got unnecessarily complex for no reason!
