An action in photoshop is great to sharpen photos. It is concerning the following action, Russell Brown's detailing action that one can found on: https://www.photoshop.com/spotlights/russell-brown. I tried to make the same thing in gimp, but I think I missed something because the result is a more colorful photo, but it is not sharpen. It use a negative curve preset in photoshop. I don't know how to do that in gimp. Anyone? Thanks in advance.

Hi. 
Im edit iracing template. I have one question about gradient tool from black to white:
Import to GIMP: psd
Edit: .xcf
Export in to tga
There are you can see a few purple mistakes:


Is there eny idea, what Im doing wrong?

I have always used GIMP with no issues on Mac OS for 10 years now but have recently had to switch to Windows 10 and am finding the user interface well pretty useless as everything is tiny and I can’t see how to increase their size?

All the icons on the tool windows are tiny, the menu options overlap so basically it not usable at all.

How come GIMP is a peach on Mac but sucks on Windows?

Can anyone advise on how to rectify?

Thanks

So, I have taught myself a lot of gimp, but I am not an artist and sometimes lack the basic vocabulary to even know how to search for what I want to learn how to do.  I want to make a gif where the background is static and have a very slight "glow" or "pulse" effect in a particular spot or along an outline or even more simply, along a line.  I dont even know what to call it or how to search for it.  Ive made a lot of gifs and understand layers ok enough, but this simple thing seems to be escaping me.

Two examples.  They are more advanced than what I need to do but show it well.:

https://us.v-cdn.net/6025736/uploads/edi...ak8zl3.gif - the glowing pulse, top right under his name.

https://us.v-cdn.net/6025736/uploads/edi...wsiv8q.gif - the glowing propagating yellow line that reaches out to each portrait.



Maybe I think it should be too simple, but along a line it seems like I should be able to do some motion blur along a line over 4-5 layers but I feel like I am doing it the hard way.  Its also possible that the linked images are not possible with gimp, and that is fine too.  I just dont know how to describe it well enough to search for it myself.  Thanks in advance.

What I’m trying to do is make an entire image SHEER, in other words see-through, but with all the colors maintained. Using the opacity control on the layers palette it looks like I’m doing that, the gray checkerboard appears underlying the image, but when I try to copy or clone that image onto another one, it goes on completely opaque, no matter how low I take the opacity! BUT, if I save the image as a PNG, and re-import it, then it can be copied or cloned and it IS sheer.

Clearly, I’m making some sort of stupid error here; could somebody please tell me what it is, lol?

Also: I’ve tried copying the sheer image into the clipboard of the brush pallete, but the result is also always opaque; is that fixable?

For bonus points: Is there a way to make only PART of an image see-through? Not colorless, just SHEER. Taking a color to alpha sometimes creates exactly that effect, by accident as far as I can tell, because I can’t make it do that deliberately…?!

Hi all, I am trying to get my head around Gimp and graphic software as a whole and clearly I am a bit thick on the subject so I appologise in advance for my question.   I have an image that is 226 x 223 pixels, a website says that is an option in Gimp that will up the quality when I scale it. Low and behold the option isnt available in the Gimp I'm using. I have attached a picture. Is it somewhere else in Gimp?

Thanks

Hi all,

Very new user of GIMP here. I have been learning bits from youtube videos and some tutorials from here https://www.gimp.org/tutorials/

The reason I started learning GIMP was because of pictures I take from my telescope, that I wanted to enhance. For example I took a picture of the Pillars of Creation (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pillars_of_Creation) but I'm struggling to bring out the 3 nebula columns here - https://imgur.com/xSEib3D. 

Is there a way to increase the contrast between just the 3 'pillars' and the rest of the image?

Thanks in advance

Im confused in GIMP the difference between adding an ALPHA channel to a layer or choosing the ADD Transparent Layer to a layer.
Also, when you create a new Layer you have a choice between creating it with WHITE or Transparent. 
Im trying to grasp how to create many layers with a different over land textures so I can create fields, grass, woods, hills, gravel, roads. Its really confusing. 
Why would I choose ADD an ALPHA channel to an existing texture layer vs creating a new transparent layer?
