  change everything NOT black to another color
Posted by: styler001 - 11-09-2018, 01:05 PM - Forum: General questions - Replies (1)

Hello,

I've got an image with a black background, and the rest of the image is a variety of colors.

Is it possible (and how, if so) to change everything NOT black to another color...say, white...automatically?

Thanks.

  New User - Adding snow to a scene ???
Posted by: Aswell - 11-09-2018, 11:12 AM - Forum: General questions - Replies (4)

Hi, I am a new user to Gimp because my wife spoke to someone in her art group who said Gimp 2 could be used to add snow to a photo or scanned artwork.


I have looked around Gimp (there's a lot in it!) and cannot find any suggestion to do what she suggests. I have done some tutorials, all very interesting but not addresses what she wants to do.

Is she barking up the wrong tree?
Many thanks, Brian

  Photo to silhouette
Posted by: adryan_g78 - 11-09-2018, 09:21 AM - Forum: General questions - Replies (3)

Hi!
Below I'm attaching two pictures: the first one is a silhouette-like portrait of Marilyn Monroe, the other one is a regular photo.
I've tried to convert that photo to silhouette using treshold or photocopy filter, but I'm not satisfied with the results.
Could anyone give me a hand about this? I'm quite new with Gimp. I'm using 2.10.
Thanks in advance!

  Can't Open GIMP
Posted by: Peter B - 11-08-2018, 09:31 PM - Forum: General questions - Replies (1)

I just downloaded GAIP and GIMP help and have done the install thing for both.  No matter what I do I am unable to open them.  All it wants to do is the set up thing again.
Any help is appreciated.

  "Uncrop" a drawing to restore part of a person?
Posted by: randomystick - 11-08-2018, 04:17 PM - Forum: General questions - Replies (2)

I have a digital drawing of a person whose top part of her hair + left shoulder is partially cut off, as shown:
https://imgur.com/a/5LIqPyc

How do I "uncrop" the image by making gimp restore the parts that got seemingly "cropped" off the picture?

I tried brute-forcing it by using the clone tool + heal tool, with limited success:
https://imgur.com/a/GeWlK0Q


Notes:
Heal Selection (from Synthesiser) doesn't work well, probably because it has nothing to sample from the top of the part I need restoring
Uncrop (from Synthesiser) doesn't work at all, it just adds a transparent border around my image

  A few basic quick fire questions...
Posted by: enginestar - 11-08-2018, 12:11 AM - Forum: Gimp 2.10 - Replies (3)

I've been using Gimp for sometime now.
I think I am doing some things wrong.

I have a few quick fire questions I was hoping you expert guys could help with...

- Where is the hand tool?
A tool to move the screen around - not the image.
In Photoshop it's called the hand tool

- Cutting out background of objects: Use paths tool, select from path, invert, add alpha channel, delete.
Works a treat.
But... are there any other tools that help quicken this?

- I make a path around an object. How can I hide the path but bring it up later? If that's not possible, how do I just get rid of it?

- Similarly, how do I get rid of ants around a picture?

- What's the best way to copy 2 layers from one picture to another?

- Opening more images after first.
You can't just drag in. You have to drag into the toolbar.
Even though I know I have to do - it still gets on my nerves having to do!
I JUST want to drag in!
Is this something I have to live with?

- How do I get rid of ants around text?

Thanks!

I'm assuming the above are quick fire questions.
Happy to get just a pointer to somewhere where I can learn.

  Fonts loading too long
Posted by: SpringSeabastial - 11-07-2018, 08:12 PM - Forum: Gimp 2.10 - Replies (6)

I'm having an issue with fonts. Unlike most other posts I've found, my GIMP starts up just fine. It when I actually try and use the text tool that the program takes too long to load fonts. I've already been waiting for about an hour it feels like. Can someone help me?

  How to batch open multiple PDF files and batch export them again as PDF files
Posted by: kasioumis - 11-07-2018, 07:35 PM - Forum: Scripting questions - Replies (4)

Hello!

I've been reading a bit about the gimp batch mode and gimp scripts but I'm not sure what I'm trying to do is possible and I was looking for some guidance.

I have multiple PDF files (let's say 100). I want to batch open them with GIMP (specifying the resolution - DPI) and maybe even more options (Anti-aliasing, the layer etc). Then I want to directly export them as PDF again (specifying the export options - apply layer masks, convert bitmaps and omit hidden layers).

Is this possible in the first place? And if yes, could you please give me some pointers as to how I can achieve that?

Thank you very much in advance!

Shocked Bucket fill is tinting my entire image
Posted by: HavingTooMuchFun - 11-07-2018, 06:06 PM - Forum: General questions - Replies (21)

[Image: 5f02e79b-f984-4e92-be63-c2c36057c012-ori...fit=bounds]
The upper image is the original; the bottom image is my attempt to bucket-fill with tan replacing the gray. This is very close to the minimum threshold to eliminate all of the dark gray, and as you can see, the tan that I bucket filled with is overlaying the white as well… not REPLACING the white, but mixing with it. This has happened recently with a variety of different images, with a variety of different colors both in the images and with the attempted bucket-fills; the result is as if I was looking at the image through tinted glasses, rather than the bucket fill just working on the selected color. I must have accidentally changed some sort of setting… does anyone have any idea what it might be?
