  removing / fixing dots from scanned photo
Posted by: IAvsCA - 02-17-2019, 06:17 PM - Forum: General questions - Replies (4)

Hello All,

    I tried looking through the forum for this, but the answers I've found don't seem to quite cover my situation, or are for older versions of gimp to which I couldn't get the mentioned plugin.

    I've Scanned an older small photo of my mother for her obituary, and we'd like to re-print it to a larger poster board for the funeral service.  The problem I have is that the scanned photo has a grid of small dots which I'd like to blend out of the picture so they're not so visible on a larger print.

Attached is an example.

    I would be much appreciative if this could be answered sooner rather than later.  

    A point in the right direction should help.

TIA,
Mark

  Grey base layer effecting green 2nd layer
Posted by: jaca44 - 02-16-2019, 05:34 PM - Forum: General questions - Replies (3)

So I have a base grey layer and a quite strong green 2nd layer when taken on its own. When the grey layer is also visible it dulls down the green.

  Menu fonts turn black
Posted by: Bucic - 02-16-2019, 04:41 PM - Forum: General questions - No Replies

Hi!
I'm using Dark general theme and Symbolic icon theme. I've noticed that menu fonts turn black, probably even during the times GIMP is actually running. Restarting GIMP brings back the normal light grey fonts. It's annoying because sometimes I have to close GIMP with 10 unsaved images.

GIMP 2.10.8
Windows 7 x64
AMD FX 3.5 GHz
nVidia GF 660 Ti, latest drivers

PS. Is there a way to generate a troubleshooting log with general information about GIMP components?
PS2. Gimp doesn't offer changing the menu font color in Preferences, which is weird as hell.

  Antialias effect intensity
Posted by: Hackerman - 02-16-2019, 12:35 AM - Forum: General questions - Replies (20)

Please help! 

I need to import an image from an EPS file without antialiasing so I can achieve better editing results. I want to apply antialiasing afterwards. The thing is that the antialias filter is just too weak (it adds only 1 pixel near the borders!?) and I need a much stronger antialiasing effect (at least 3 pixels). How? I don't think there's an option to choose the intensity of the antialiasing filter. Please don't suggest the following :

1)Any types of blur 
2)Scaling the image back and forth with cubic interpolation. 

We both know they don't have the same effect. I tried Adobe Photoshop and Illustrator (useless pieces of software) only to find out they don't offer antialiasing at all! I tried everything. And I made a lot of research but no one seemed to have those same complaints. Is 1 pixel aa enough for you?

  Why can't I post in Gimp 1.10 section?

I have a question about Gimp 1.10, but the forum section for Gimp 1.10 doesn't show a button for posting a new thread. Could the admin check this out, and let me know what's going on?

  VERY noobie question
Posted by: pixelbean - 02-15-2019, 04:08 AM - Forum: General questions - Replies (2)

Downloaded 2.10.8 GIMP started GIMPTRICKS first lesson - halfway through exercise i was looking for DELETE button
but there is none except EXIT or Close ?  

This exercise (my first) is not finished and not saved, so how to start afresh without bringing back the remnants
that was left in the first trial exercise that shows up even though i clik on  Close or clear history ?

Sorry to waste your time over a nooby question.

  Script-fu.exe not work in 2.10
Posted by: Pat625 - 02-14-2019, 07:32 PM - Forum: Extending the GIMP - Replies (1)

I have Samj ver.2 of Gimp 2.10.8.  The script-fu.exe for scrolling long .scm dialog boxes is included in the system plug in file and works.

Apparently it is not included in the regular  2.10 versions.  Many are having trouble using BRL and many other .scm  scripts because of this.

Is there any one or any way to fix the script-fu.exe to work in the regular Gimp.  I had tried using the one from Samj and putting it into the regular versions but it does not work.

Appreciate any help available to solve this problem.

Photo Trying Gimp after Photoshop Elements
Posted by: dougsmit - 02-13-2019, 11:58 PM - Forum: General questions - Replies (2)

I just downloaded Gimp 2.10 after years of working with Photoshop, Elements and Paint Shop Pro.  Is there a resource that I can read that will point out the primary differences that might keep me from working in Gimp because I am assuming something that is completely different?  So far I have failed miserably with the first task I want to do.  I collect ancient coins.  I want to assemble a single image made from two or more photos of coins - usually just the two sides but sometimes quite a few.  In other programs you can click on images and drag them around the canvas but I have not figured out how to do this on Gimp.  Below is a sample assembled image of one coin on a plain black background.  I know Gimp can do this but I can not.  

Thanks,

  Help, how to resize brushes?
Posted by: StylinLP38 - 02-13-2019, 10:44 PM - Forum: General questions - Replies (8)

   
Every time I stamp down a brush and then select the resize tool it wants me to resize the entire layer. I know I must be doing something wrong but can't figure it out.

These are Photoshop .ABR  brushes. I just simply dragged and dropped them into the GIMP2.0/Brush folder.
