Trying a new technique. Works essentially like my luminosity-tiler script, but instead of using layers filled with patterns, it uses layers filled with the same path rendered with increasing line widths.

  How do I make a Star Scape background?
Posted by: Steve_Gesn - 03-23-2019, 10:48 PM - Forum: General questions - Replies (3)

Gimp 2.10

I used to do this in 2.8 but I'm coming up with an error message now. 
Click file --> Create --> Render --> Star Scape. 
In 2.8 this procedure would create a starscape background and I could adjust the color, cloud number and more.
Now I get an error message. Please see attached photo.
Any suggestions will be appreciated. 
Thanks.

  indexing into 8-bit
Posted by: griddx - 03-22-2019, 01:45 PM - Forum: General questions - Replies (4)

When i try to index a 24-bit image with less than 16 colors (with the default indexing settings), gimp reduces the bit depth to 4-bit, but i need it to be 8-bit. Is there any way i can stop gimp from reducing the bit depth too much?

  Text Along Path - Cannot Move Text With Move Tool
Posted by: AceMcHammer - 03-21-2019, 01:05 AM - Forum: Older Gimp versions (2.8, 2.6....) - Replies (5)

So I went to this Youtube video to see how to create text along a path:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6nHyKrJwsaE

The trouble is that after making the text along the path, by some glitch or misstep, sometime the text is not centered in the middle of the path. When it does this I figure I could just move the text and reorient the text to fix the placement issue. I cannot figure out how to move the text that has been fixed to a path. Here's an example of what I'm talking about. The top text came out centered for some reason. Good. But the bottom text was off center. When I right click on the bottom text layer, I chose "Add To Selection" and it looks like my path text is selected but I still cannot move the text with the move tool:


[Image: gimp%20text%20along%20path.png]

See how the word leather seems to be selected but there seems to be no way to move the text around the art space. Aside from moving the text left, right, up and down I would also want to free orient the text too to get it placed just right.

I have been looking for a way to learn this effect without even knowing how to describe it.
Can this type of thing be done on gimp or do I need vector graphics or 3d modeling software?

  gap doesn't works in GIMP 2.10
Posted by: Pep - 03-20-2019, 01:26 PM - Forum: Extending the GIMP - Replies (1)

Hi,

Last year, I worked with gap in gimp 2.8 version and works ok in my PC with W10 OS.
But, Now I install gimp 2.10 and when I try to use Master VideoEncoder Menu, and there are a bug. The program shows a window with a warning "the babl installation seems broken, no extensions found in queried babl path". After, open another window and shows a scrolling error messages 

This is a part of the message

babl-extension.c:354 babl_extension_load_dir_list()

WARNING: the babl installation seems broken, no extensions found in queried
BABL_PATH (C:\Program Files\GIMP 2\32\lib\babl-0.1) this means no SIMD/instructions/special case fast paths and
only slow reference conversions are available, applications might still
run but software relying on babl for conversions will be slow

Please, could you help me?

Thank you in advance

Posted by: Lasse - 03-19-2019, 08:25 PM - Forum: General questions - Replies (1)

Hi everyone!

I'm using Gimp 2.10.8. and I'm very confused. Seems like I've lost the Brushes Toolbox and can not resize brushes at all.

Please, help to figure out this problem.

  Plug ins and scripts
Posted by: kjacobs4242 - 03-19-2019, 06:40 PM - Forum: Extending the GIMP - Replies (4)

Been using GIMP 2.8 for a long time, but have switched to windows 10 and GIMP 2.10. Over the years I had discovered some favorite plugins and scripts, and would like to get them installed on the new set up. Nothing seems simple on W10, and I can't seem to find where to download my old favorites. I still have the W7 and GIMP 2.8, can I just copy scripts from those folders and move to new computer and W-10 GIMP 2.10? Is there a site where the best scripts are located? Searching the net these days seems more difficult, one gets so many hits that are irrelevant to a specific search. 2 of my old favorites were smart sharpening and Lasm's Lab wow color script. Help!

  Dumb question: How do I open an image
Posted by: enginestar - 03-19-2019, 03:16 AM - Forum: General questions - Replies (2)

I can't remember if I asked this before...
How do I open an image from Gimp?

Ctrl O.
But now I have to navigate to exactly where my image is - a painful lengthy navigation of clicking through folders.

I have a habit of:

- Copy the folder path in explorer
- Ctrl O
- Paste folder path and press enter
- I can now select the image

I do this in EVERY single program I use - apart from Gimp!

Love Gimp. It's been many years since I used Photoshop.
I wish this annoying feature could be fixed.

Someone is probably going to come along and defend the way it's setout and the way it works + tell me off for complaining! ?
