New one. Purpose: showing a stack of things. Gimp layers, but this script was written to help me make drawings for a presentation on Docker images and their union/overlay file systems.

Assume you have an image with several layers like this:

   

You define a perspective shape as path:

   

And you call the script to create a new image:

Good day

I've created an artwork in Gimp and exported it as a .psd file. When I open the file in Photoshop I can't edit the text. 
How can I fix this? 

Kind Regards

  Problem with color — or maybe brightness, or contrast...
Posted by: extra skater - 07-15-2018, 04:38 AM - Forum: Gimp 2.10 - Replies (3)

Hello,
Once I'm new here I'm not quite sure if it's the right place to post.
Well, I'm using Gimp 2.10.4 for Windows 10 and today I needed to fix a little detail on a file — I draw very simple comic strips and use GIMP to edit them, put fonts, screentone dots and lines and all that jazz. They're mostly black and white.
I did it and after that I noticed my comic seem to be with lighter colors, like brighter. The tone given by the dots, that should feel like dark gray were seeming to be light gray and the outline, typically black, was thinner.

You can see the comparison here:
[Image: ru3F74V.png]
To the right, the original image. To the left, the new one.
Notice the lines (like in the left shoulder and in the jersey of the character on the first panel) and less bold and the dots on the new one seem to make the image lighter than on the original one.

And they were both done with GIMP 2.10.4, in the same computer they have the same size, they have the same all. The original one was made on Tuesday. I opened it today to make some fixes and it was already like that. And I didn't make any changes or updates on my computer these days.
And although the .PNG images are enough to show it's not any visualization problem on my computer, I tried opening it on another computer (also Windows 10, GIMP 2.10.4) and it was the same.
I opened other files, I opened even the screentone dots files and all of them seem to have their profile changed.

This is so curious I'm even asking myself if a very illogical and unlikely thing would have something to do with it: I opened the files in different cities. The original one, I made back in my hometown where I'm living during the week for a temp job. The fix I made in the current town where I live and spend the weekends.

Can anyone guess the problem and help me?

  AddonCollection Manager Problems
Posted by: Pat625 - 07-15-2018, 01:59 AM - Forum: Extending the GIMP - Replies (25)

I had Ofnuts Add on file for a couple years without problems.  My computer got messed up and I could not get the collections manager.  I even downloaded the Gimp 2.8.22 version.  That made no difference.  The program only puts Scripts  in the manager.  No matter what I do I can't make it work.  New scripts of the add on does not have the .ini
file that should go with the Manager  Suggestions   Please!!!!

  adding texture to apha channel
Posted by: bntheman - 07-14-2018, 11:35 PM - Forum: Gimp 2.10 - Replies (1)

Hi, I am trying out Gimp 2.10, and I am having a hard time editing my image's alpha channel. In Photoshop, adding textures or painting a texture in the alpha channel is really simple. Basically, for adding a texture, you would copy an image from another image and simply paste it in the alpha channel. With the other method, you can paint in the alpha channel directly. Here is an example...

  brand new and completely clueless
Posted by: Sky - 07-14-2018, 10:31 PM - Forum: OSX - Replies (2)

Hey there.  I just downloaded GIMP.....at least I think I did.  Something appears to be very wrong and I an struggling.  I did not see a "new users who ask stupid questions" thread so please, if there is somewhere else I should be, by all means tell me!

I have to say also that I have absolutely no idea about anything graphic design related and a friend said this was an excellent program to cut my teeth on.  Plans are to start with the tutorials as soon as I can.

I am running Mac OS 10.13.5 and it took me nearly all day to figure out how to install this!  All of the suggestions are over a year old and none of them seemed to be right on point.

I think I actually have it on my laptop now, but when it opens everything is grey/black.  There are not lovely color graphics or images as shown in the tutorials.  Is this normal for Mac users?  The only image that has any color is the GIMP "about" image.

Help please.......and thank you!!

  Tiff image display wrong (tiff tags not interpreted)
Posted by: andife - 07-12-2018, 11:41 AM - Forum: General questions - Replies (5)

Hello,

I created a tiff images in which there is a central "white line" (gimp_question3.tif).
Everything works fine with irfanview, imagej, the line of the color is display correctly.

Opening the file with gimp I got a black line, although the value is "0" and 
the Exif.Image.PhotometricInterpretation is "White is zero".

Is there no interpretation of this tag?

   

What could be the problem? Some gimp autoconfiguration?
Default values for ICC profile?

Or is something wrong with the original tiff image?

Thank you

Andi

  How to change icon theme 2.10
Posted by: karacandraw - 07-10-2018, 09:46 AM - Forum: Gimp 2.10 - Replies (10)

Hello, I'm a newbie with GIMP and I'm trying to set it up so that it looks more like Photoshop.



I downloaded the 2.8 photoshop tweak by Doctormo on DeviantArt and was able to make some changes so that it loads correctly on 2.10



But with the new icon theme folder on 2.10, there's obviously an incompatibility issue. The photoshop theme is loading, but not the icons.



I moved the icons to C:\Program Files\GIMP 2\share\gimp\2.0\icons but they are not loading, I'm assuming because they are PNG files and not SVG.

Knowing I have the PNG icons is there a way for me to implement them in the theme?

Thanks.

  bump mapping
Posted by: jaca44 - 07-09-2018, 09:36 PM - Forum: General questions - Replies (18)

I am trying to bump map an aircraft skin which is on 2 dds files (can convert to png or whatever) which has obviously quite a few colors and occupies most of a non white/single color background. It also only has the one layer available. So far all the tutorials I have looked at including http://www.tankedup-imaging.com/gimp/bumpmap2.html haven't helped; or I am not that good at understanding!
 I need a step by step tutorial if possible.

  Gimplensfun for 2.10 crashes during launch of Gimp
Posted by: i5963c - 07-09-2018, 03:09 PM - Forum: Gimp 2.10 - Replies (2)

Hello,
Since I performed the upgrade to Gimp 2.10 (Win10, 64bit), I'm no longer able to apply lens corrections with the Lensfun plugin. It worked perfectly with the various 2.8 versions.
As soon as the gimplensfun plugin is installed, it's even no longer possible to launch Gimp, the application throws an error message during the launch process ('The application was unable to start correctly (0xc000007b). Click OK to close the application').
I'm aware that (a long time ago) there was also a problem with gimplensfun for Windows with the Gimp 2.8 version. The solution for that problem was to install a special version of libstdc++-6.dll, but that solution doesn't solve the issue with the 2.10 release of Gimp.
Lens correction is quite important in my use cases since I do a lot of architecture photography. It strikes me that I can't find anything on the internet about this issue. It's hard to believe that I would be the only person who uses this plugin, and who encounters this problem since the 2.10 version.
PS: I've tried with all 2.10 versions (initial release, 2.10.2 and recently 2.10.4) and the issue still persists. I've also tried already clean installs, but it doesn't help.
Any suggestions or solutions are highly appreciated.
