  My text size default is massive
Posted by: al.da.drone - 09-02-2018, 07:10 PM - Forum: General questions - Replies (3)

Hi there Gimp Forum I have a new issue that I hope somebody on here can solve. My text size default is 2164 and its doing my nut in. Is this a bug in Gimp or can it be rectified in the setting.I've had a look and I see no option for this. I've added an attachment.

Thanks

Question How to stroke a path using clone tool ?
Posted by: le.snake - 09-02-2018, 04:26 PM - Forum: General questions - Replies (9)

I know how to use the clone tool : ctrl + clic to select source image, then clic.

Now to remove a wire in the sky, I create a path then I want to use the clone tool when stroking that path.

Then I get a dialog telling me to select a source image. Which I already did previously.
Steps are

  • open image
  • create path
  • select clone tool
  • ctrl + clic to define source
  • select path
  • stroke path
  • select "use paint tool" (I translate, 'cause I use french HMI)
  • select clone
  • click stroke
Get a dialog saying to select source image.
  • close that dialog
while the stroke path dialog open:
  • ctrl + clic to define source
  • click stroke
Get a dialog saying to select source image.

I tested that on both windows and linux.

Gimp 2.10.6

Did any body succeed in using clone when stroking a path ?

Btw, if you got a better trick to remove wires in pictures, I get it !

  image size
Posted by: al.da.drone - 09-01-2018, 04:02 PM - Forum: General questions - Replies (4)

This is probably a stupid question even for my standards. If i find a image on Google that is 341 x 337 is it possible using some form of program on Gimp or a stand alone app to magic the image size to make it so it doesnt lose quality when scaling it.
Think this isn't possible.
Thanks

  Using text from other software
Posted by: al.da.drone - 09-01-2018, 02:25 PM - Forum: General questions - Replies (3)

I have been finding it dfficult to get to grips with Gimp regarding text. Anyway I have been having a go on Inkscape and the text option is a lot easier to be honest. Is it possible to import the text as a PNG file or JPEG into Gimp.

  Gimp 2.10, Monoprice tablet and G'mic...
Posted by: btraven - 09-01-2018, 02:48 AM - Forum: General questions - Replies (1)

When 2.10 came out, I downloaded it and deleted my all other Gimp stuff. It worked great. Then I got a Monoprice 10x6.25 inch drawing tablet. I couldn't get it to work with 2.10 so I deleted 2.10 and downloaded the latest version of 2.8. Once I figured out the right driver, the tablet worked okay with 2.8 but...   now I didn't have G'mic anymore. I tried to download G'mic for 2.8 but couldn't get it to work. There's a video that shows how to get G'mic to work with 2.8 but it's done by one of those assholes that wants to show how fast they can do stuff not how or why it's done. When, after stopping the video a bunch of times, I more-or-less figured it out, I found that, following the steps in the video, my results don't match his. 

Does anyone know how I can get a Monoprice tablet to work with 2.10 with G'mic installed. It seems I can have 2.10 with G'mic but no tablet or 2.8 with the tablet but no G'mic.

HELP!

  Additional distortion filters?
Posted by: OurJud - 08-31-2018, 10:39 PM - Forum: Extending the GIMP - Replies (2)

I love to play around distressing images in Gimp, but find the filters somewhat lacking.

Is there any plugins available that specifically provide filters and effects for this kind of manipulation?

  Flood Light?
Posted by: Howitser - 08-31-2018, 06:06 PM - Forum: Extending the GIMP - Replies (1)

Is there a setting or plug in that can add flood light effects?  I've been through the filters & can add the spot lights & such, but would like to be able to find a way to add a much wider beam lighting effect.

Thanks!

  Beauty and the Beast
Posted by: Paul E. Lehmann - 08-30-2018, 11:34 PM - Forum: Gallery - No Replies

Picture of a friend of ours here in Central Maryland that was removed from the original background using layer masks and substituted the background from a picture we took in New Zealand on a holding farm.  Chose Alpaca to look big to give it the "Beast" look - ha ha.

Having fun playing with the GIMP

  Weird font previews in text tools?
Posted by: OurJud - 08-30-2018, 08:40 PM - Forum: General questions - Replies (5)

Can anyone explain why the little square font previews alongside each font when you scroll through the list in text tools, bear no resemblance to the actual font? Most of them look like Arabic or Chinese - which renders them pretty useless becuase they tell you nothing about the font.
