  [SOLVED] How to redock an undockable dialogue?
Posted by: gnuimpcub - 03-22-2018, 07:35 PM - Forum: General questions - Replies (4)

Hi,

I am using Gimp 2.8.18 on Debian GNU/Linux 9 (stretch) 64-bit Gnome 3.22.2.

My problem:

occasionally I loose the Tool Options dialogue, can retrieve it via Windows > Dockable Dialogues, but try as I might I cannot manage to redock it, see screenshot. Of course I can move it more to the left, but did not find nor could google a way to refix it, let alone that "you can drop dockable dialogue here" worked" Sad

It just refuses to be fixed like the dialogue in "Layers/Brushes" on the right.

How can I do it, please?

Thanks, gnuimpcub

P.S. My awkward workaroung so far is to close gimp, delete the ".gimp-2.8" folder and restart gimp again; and loose the previous settings Sad

  Cuting out someone
Posted by: SolidSnake2003 - 03-22-2018, 05:27 PM - Forum: General questions - Replies (44)

Is it possible to cut Jackson out of this image for me:

https://instagram.fsea1-1.fna.fbcdn.net/...0800_n.jpg

I've tried doing this myself, but I can't get the hang of the path/pen tool, and I don't clean it very well with the eraser.


Another question I've got, don't know if this is possible with the cage transform tool or not.

Is it possible to warp a rain coat around him in that image?

Exclamation Instaling Beautify plug-ins.
Posted by: Viesenna - 03-22-2018, 05:22 PM - Forum: Extending the GIMP - Replies (3)

Hi,

so I've decided to install this old mod for GIMP, but i am not sure how to do it. I can't find any .py, .scm or .exe files that would allow me to install it. I've found this site https://github.com/hejiann/beautify, but there are only source codes and i don't understand these instructions provided by readme.  Can someone help me install this?

There is also mentioned "gimp-devel-tools". I've also found this 
https://rpmfind.net/linux/rpm2html/searc...ls(x86-64)
site, but it contains files for Linux. So here is second question: What are these "gimp-devel-tools", and how can I install them?

OFC, if there are other, newer filters for GIMP, i would love to check them out!

Edit1: Found this topic, which solves issue of plug-in, but still there is no mention of devel-tools. https://www.gimp-forum.net/Thread-beauti...install-it

  Not deleting my scissor path
Posted by: daynis - 03-22-2018, 12:34 AM - Forum: General questions - Replies (2)

using gimp 2.8.22
It's not allowing me to use the Invert and then clear option within my scissor path.  Also...why does it keep deleting my scissor path when I save?

My apologies for posting perhaps a noob question but I'm so frustrated right now.  I did a halfass search with keywords 'scissor path not deleting' and nothing came up. 
Everything has been working fine until last night.  I uninstalled 2.8.1 and just installed 2822. I waited 24 hours to receive confirmation email from gimper.net, not realizing the site was down, and then went to another gimp forum to only realize after signing up that that was ghosted.  I'm about to shitbricks. I've done 4 separate scissor paths that take 8 minutes each and nothing happens. Add alpha channel to the layer. Use scissor paths. Connect scissor path. Click Invert. Click delete. Deleted the entire picture leaving only white background.

  Stroke, paint draw with solid color, no fade
Posted by: hotsprings - 03-21-2018, 05:41 PM - Forum: General questions - Replies (6)

Man, I just cannot figure out how to get rid of the fade.
I just want to stroke, paintbrush or pencil with a solid color, no fade. No Gradient, No nothing.
Just a hard-edged, color. One solid color without Gimp applying the fade.
What should I set my settings to?
Does what I'm asking for make sense?

  floating selection / copy from other layer
Posted by: i3i - 03-20-2018, 11:36 AM - Forum: General questions - Replies (7)

Hi, my first post here. Coming from years of paintshop pro, fighting the limited file size it can handle. Stuck on a relatively simple problem.

I am creating a selection from one layer but with to copy the contents of the layer underneath, however it just copies the entire image when I paste as a new image. I have two rendered layers, one is a png with no background (top layer) the other is a full colour render including background. I duplicate the bottom layer, turn it to grey scale and then want to steal the shape without the background, using this method I have used for many years. 

please help and thanks if you can.

  Sort list in script-fu
Posted by: Vnicent - 03-20-2018, 10:04 AM - Forum: Scripting questions - Replies (2)

Hello, I am trying to make a relatively simple script to aggregate images together using file-glob to browse files.

The problem is that the files are loaded in a seemingly random order and I would need to load the files by alphabetical order.

Is there a way to sort the list returned by the file-glob function? I suppose I could implement my own sorting function in script-fu it should be possible but if something already exists I'd rather just use it.

  Preserving magenta exporting to .gif
Posted by: Whiteshadowzo - 03-20-2018, 12:51 AM - Forum: General questions - Replies (3)

Hello forum

Just created an account to ask this question. 

Have the most up-to-date version of Gimp.

Trying to create a graphic for a map-maker software for a boardgame. Software designer states graphics must be .gif on a true magenta background which the program will read as transparent. 287x287px

Here is a pre-programmed graphic on the default map background

   

And here is the file in the program's graphics folder

   

So I figure I would try my hand at making some add'l tree graphics for variety sake. Now, disregarding the anti-aliasing around the tree image I add which gives a magenta-ish outline the background does not stay true magenta when exported as a gif. Therefore the software adds the magenta-ish color.

   

 Saving the file as a gimp file and reopening the color reads 255,0,255 per the color picker. But exporting to .gif and reopening the color reads 253,5,255. In fact after writing this post I can confirm .pngs after reopening will also read 253,5,255.

So, is there something I can do to make sure the color stays? 

-Is this simply a matter of fact when exporting to .gif/.png that colors get altered? Well, then how did the software creator manage it?
-Is Gimp doing some magic I'm unaware of? Can someone direct me to some settings to change?
-And what about that anti-aliasing giving those undesired pinks. When I show and hide the magenta layer behind the tree I can see the fringe pixels change from different greens to pinkish-different greens. Anyway to keep that from happening?


Any help or further reading would be much appreciated.
