  GIMP Not Exorting JPG Correctly for Web
Posted by: zippity - 01-07-2019, 10:58 PM - Forum: General questions - Replies (1)

OS: Ubuntu 18.04
GIMP: 2.10.8

I'm having a very difficult time getting JPG files exported from GIMP to render correctly in a web browser. I can get them to show up correctly if I open the gimp exported jpg with IrfanView (I have to use Wine to use this) and save the image using the Save for Web option. It would be most helpful if I could use GIMP to correctly save JPG files suitable for the web. Two versions of the same image - 1st GIMP, 2nd Irfanview.

Thanks for reading and maybe offering a suggestion for resolving this.

Cheers

Music Dynamics - Solid Colors vs Gradients
Posted by: darcylewis - 01-06-2019, 09:35 PM - Forum: General questions - Replies (1)

Hey friends Happy New Year,

I'm new to the forum and just have a quick question, for which I'm hoping the answer is staring me in the face. I'm using 2.10.8, have successfully installed a tablet, use no plug-ins, etc. and am playing around with sketching and drawing. I'd like to get to coloring if at all possible, except that every time I try to pick a solid color that isn't grey-scale black and white, if I'm using just a regular Gimp-installed brush, it defaults to using a gradient?  

I really just want a solid color without any kind of fading.  I've played around with the gradient settings.  I can't seem to even set one to a single color.  I'm not seeing anything in the user manual or on the forum, so I'm really, really hoping that I'm not seeing the forest for the trees.

Attaching my current settings.


Anybody know what to click or clack to help me get into

  resizing selection
Posted by: Terry50 - 01-06-2019, 08:23 PM - Forum: General questions - Replies (2)

Hi,  I used to be able to use the transform button and have the selection move coinciding horizontal & vertical at the same time, if I dragged at the right point.  It won't do that anymore.  One side or another.   shift T
 There are white turned squares.
There are squares at the corners.
There are smaller squares centered on each side.

The small squares used to do both sides equally.
Not any more.
Do you know what happened?
Thank you,
Terry.  Smile

  Weighted Blend
Posted by: Animusmontus - 01-05-2019, 05:40 PM - Forum: Older Gimp versions (2.8, 2.6....) - Replies (8)

Is there a plugin or a means to weight a shaped blend to certain predetermined points instead of the normal center of the shape?

  fixing faded picture
Posted by: Running_late - 01-04-2019, 07:37 AM - Forum: General questions - Replies (5)

I have a 50+ year old color photo that has faded badly, now scanned in.   Mainly, the picture is just yellowish.  The greens do not look much green.  The blue does not look much like blue.  There is some red.  

Is there a way to say 'just make the color more vivid'?

  Gimp craashes in LM 19.1
Posted by: Yumi - 01-04-2019, 07:32 AM - Forum: Linux and other Unixen - Replies (3)

Upgraded to Linux Mint 19.1 last week. Now if I want to open a file in Gimp the whole system crashes. Have to restart completely. Am not sure that it has to do with the new version but it looks likely.
Uninstalled Gimp and removed all directories and files. Installed Gimp 2.8 and 2.10 from repositories but the same thing happens in both versions.
Any advice on what else I could do?

  Open a file in Gimp from the command line
Posted by: dataweary - 01-04-2019, 05:07 AM - Forum: General questions - Replies (3)

Hi,

I'd like to open a file in Gimp as part of a shell script on OS X Sierra (I use the Partha Bagchi build).

If Gimp is not launched, it works perfectly with the following command:

open McGimp-2.10.8.app --args ~/Documents/Archive/scanpic.jpg

But I don't know how to open a file with the script when Gimp is already launched. In this case, Gimp comes to the forefront but the file is not opened.

Any idea how to achieve that?

  hatch image
Posted by: denzjos - 01-03-2019, 01:55 PM - Forum: Tutorials and tips - Replies (4)

When I have to hatch a technical drawing, I have to draw a line, copy the layer and move the layer (multiple times). I thought a macro creator would be usefull and I've tried the Pulovers Macro Creator (open source). I've made a macro and it is satisfying. Before starting the macro one have to make sure the copy layer is tranparent and set the thichness of the pencil to 1.Then start with an empty image.The macro draw a new image, draw a 45 degree line, copy the layer and move it to the left. This is done up to 150 times. After the macro is ended, all one have to do is make the backgrond layer invisible and merge the visible layers (Image / Merge Visisble Layers). One can then copy and paste the transparent layer and then move the pasted layer to the right to fill out the empty space. Then it is advisible to crop the layer (Layer / Layer to Image Size). In attachment, the macro and the result. If the macro give a fault result on your computer, then change the sleep times. The macro is made for a keyboard with a keypad. It is possible that this does not work on a portable. Then change the Numpadx to x(where x is a number / press right mouse button to change) . I've made also a macro that draw lines with Pulovers Macro Creator but copy layers is much faster.   

   

I don't know how to post a file here so I'v made an image of the code :
