  Image rotation - newbie question
Posted by: tonmilx - 12-16-2018, 10:33 AM - Forum: General questions - Replies (10)

I am new to GIMP but have worked out how to do most of what I need to do. Using v2.10 on OSX (Mavericks).

Using Tools/Transform/Rotate.

The menu appears and I can rotate by degrees by dragging the slider or using the Angle.
But everything I have seen on other posts suggests I should see the actual image itself rotate.

What I actually see is an outline of the image rotate - but it doesn't show me the picture rotating within it. i.e.., its difficult to see how much rotation I want when I can't see the image itself rotating.

When I press the ROTATE button, the orientation remains as it was but the image has rotated within it (hope this makes sense)


I am stupid I know - but it can't be that hard to rotate an image by degrees and see the results of the rotation on the image before I accept it...


I found this video: https://youtu.be/_-kkXAiKmKo

Its windows I know, but I don't see that behaviour.

If I use Image/Transform/Rotate then I only get the 90 degree presets

Please help a newbie...

  How do I post on GIMP 2.10?

I do not see a link to post a new thread in the GIMP 2.10. How do we post there?

  Gimp 2.10.8 brush paint loads uneven
Posted by: Wood_Goat02 - 12-15-2018, 06:57 PM - Forum: General questions - Replies (5)

I have to admit I'm struggling a bit with Gimp "two ten" as I like to call it; can't seem to get the hang of making and saving my own brushes. Nor am I liking all the new fly-out menus. I'd love to find shortcuts to get past many of them...

My current problem is the way a zero hardness brush loads paint on a canvas. I'm getting these blobs of pure saturation with little to no paint at the edges.  My goal is an even spread of paint with zero hardness. This brush looks more like 80% hardness or something.

I use an old trusty laptop with touchpad- no pen or tablet; 2gb of video ram with an integrated video card.

I'm pretty sure it's either a Gimp bug or more likely, my settings are wrong- would appreciate some correction and guidance.

I do know one thing for certain- Gimp has changed so much since 2.6 I have to relearn it. Well done dev chaps!

cheers

  rounded corners with the Rectangle Select Tool
Posted by: Espermaschine - 12-15-2018, 05:38 PM - Forum: Gimp 2.10 - Replies (8)

This is not working for me.
It creates a selection with sharp corners instead.

Anybody else experiencing this ? Bug ?

  Smooth Palette not working in 2.10
Posted by: Blighty - 12-15-2018, 02:46 PM - Forum: General questions - Replies (2)

Tried using Colors > Info > Smooth Palette, but it is not working correctly in 2.10. The composite image below shows the problem.
(This is the first time I have had to go back to 2.8 to do something - 2.10 has been good so far)

  Alpha Edge Blur
Posted by: FireyDeath4 - 12-15-2018, 01:44 AM - Forum: General questions - Replies (7)

OK so I want to blur a rectangle (or it doen't matter the shape but it's a rectangle) against a transparent background. But every single one of the blurring tools don't care about the alpha at all. Every blurring tool in GIMP will just leave the rectangle's edge solid with all the contents blurred. Specifically I want to use the Motion Blur filter. The preview is always fine with the edges getting blurred and everything but even if I select the dang alpha channel there's always just a big solid rectangle with all the contents in it blurred. Is this a glitch or what? Anyone know what's going on.

Bye!

  Opening RAW file formats in gimp 2.10
Posted by: PurpleArachnid - 12-13-2018, 11:04 PM - Forum: General questions - Replies (1)

I am trying to use gimp to edit NEF (nikon RAW) files, but it gives me this message:   

There is no RAW loader installed to open 'Raw Nikon' files.

GIMP currently supports these RAW loaders:
- darktable (http://www.darktable.org/), at least 1.7
- RawTherapee (http://rawtherapee.com/), at least 5.2

I attempted to add RawTherapee, but must be doing something incorrectly because i am still unable to open the files in Gimp. Huh

Could anyone tell me which of the loaders they recommend, and how to install it so it will properly work with gimp? 

Thank you!!  Big Grin   Heart

  Getting image colors closer together?
Posted by: Acoustic - 12-13-2018, 05:36 PM - Forum: General questions - Replies (2)

If I wanted to take a picture like this (or any other picture for that matter) and make the colors more similar and the brightness of the colors more similar, how would I do that? I've exhausted my methods and have came up short.

  trouble with brush and color intesity.
Posted by: Rafael - 12-13-2018, 03:27 PM - Forum: General questions - Replies (3)

I just started using gimp for painting and drawing. I was drawing some subjects on a red background with a dark hue. As I was using the measuring tool to get the proportions right, suddenly all the dockable dialogues disappeared and the image became full screen. I don't know, maybe I did the wrong click in my stylus. Not knowing how to get the image to leave full screen, I rest gimp to the default settings. I restarted the program and I got the image to go back in a smaller window and the dockable boxes to show. but the drawing is misbehaving. All the colors I use with the brush show muted on the red background. Other files do not this. I think there must be a layer or something that I accidentally activated. I am attaching the file, I hope it works.

  3D cube with images, rounded edges
Posted by: toni9i2 - 12-13-2018, 11:24 AM - Forum: General questions - Replies (1)

Hi,

Is there any solution to create a 3D cube with full-size pictures on each (visible) side, with rounded edges and corners?

Thanks, Toni
