  Using Brightness-Contrast color tool in grayscale mode image
Posted by: Ambulation - 02-07-2018, 05:02 AM - Forum: General questions - Replies (2)

I've been working in an image set to grayscale mode. It's in preparation for a publication that will only accept images that are naturally grayscale in this mode (these are from a scanning electron microscope-all pixels assigned grey values only). I'm working in the most up to date version of GIMP-2.8.22 in Win7.

There are some layers in which I wish to make minor edits to the brightness and contrast, but the tool makes no visible change to the layer (which is in a layer group) I have selected. There are no changes in the preview mode or when i press OK. Is it possible this feature is not usuable in greyscale, but only RGB mode?

  Converting path/selection to single stroke?
Posted by: ringo.r81 - 02-06-2018, 10:44 PM - Forum: General questions - Replies (5)

Hi, I'm looking for a way to convert a path to a single line:
I have a scanned image. I used the "select by color" tool to select the outline. I then convert selection to path. Is there any tool or script that will change the path to a single line, rather than the outlines that the selection followed?

This whole thing is an attempt to get an image file that will allow me to DRAW/WRITE my own images with a Cricut machine, rather than print & cut or simply cutting the images out. I was told that I'll need to find a way to save a file as a "single stroke" vector image. If anybody knows another way to go about this, please let me know! I feel like I'm being pretty dense about this...  Huh

  Coolest things on earth...
Posted by: Ofnuts - 02-06-2018, 10:15 PM - Forum: Watercooler - Replies (4)

... was the simultaneous landing of the two Falcon Heavy boosters. I reckon some people at SpaceX must have had an engineergasm today. Too bad they lost the core.

The astronaut dummy in the Tesla (with the HHGTTG reference) was also a nice touch.

Special thanks for delaying the launch until after dinner Smile

  Fresh start. Tmp & Swap folder.
Posted by: suduliu7 - 02-06-2018, 07:22 PM - Forum: General questions - Replies (3)

Just installed GIMP! Excited to use this program.

Going through all of the preferences I noticed there is the option to select a temporary file location and swap folder. I understand it's never good to take up space and write in the same hard disk as your OS.

ExclamationAre the default locations for tmp files and swap folder for the best or should they be located elsewhere? I, as well as many others out there have multiple hard drives and I don't mind designating these files to another disk as long as it keeps everything running smoothly.

Thanks! Appreciate any advice and tips.

  Image on contours
Posted by: Rob1955 - 02-06-2018, 01:19 PM - Forum: General questions - Replies (10)

Hope I explain this correctly. I want to put an image onto an image of a bus, so it follows the contours of the bus. Just as the cinema ads do on buses.

  Animated Gif simultaneously in two different location of large background
Posted by: 2083389396 - 02-05-2018, 09:36 PM - Forum: General questions - Replies (13)

Hi guys, 

the concrete links and stuff are only an example to explain the task. Cool

For an animated Gif, I would like to use this zoo image as background, which must be visible in the background for the whole time the animation plays.
https://img.schnaeppchenfuchs.com/img/51/79/f0/zoo.jpg

I want to run the smiley 2 animation (s2) near the lion and the smiley 4 animation (s2) near the elephants head.
http://www.goodlightscraps.com/content/s...iley-2.gif

http://www.goodlightscraps.com/content/s...iley-4.gif


So when you play the animation, s2 and s4 starting their movement SIMULTANEOUSLY.

Now, the only way to achieve this known to me is manually:

Have the zoo image as background layer.
Paste s2, its 7 layers will be visible in the layers pattern dock above zoo layer and named frame 1 (1ms) replace, frame 2 (1ms) replace...
Move every layer manually near the proper XY position near lion.
Duplicate background layer 7 times, move each duplicate below one of the frames, merge frames down to background.
Rename all the background, background copy1,... into frame 1 with lion smiley (1ms) replace, frame 2 (with lion smiley 1ms) replace...

I do hope this descirption does not confuse!!! Heart

For the other animated smiley:
Paste s4, its 7 layers (named frame 1 (1ms) replace, frame 2 (1ms) replace...) will be visible in the layers pattern dock above frame 1 with lion smiley (1ms) replace, frame 2 (with lion smiley 1ms) replace,...
Move every layer of the s4 animtion manually near the proper XY position near the elephant. Merge down frame 1 (1ms) replace onto frame 1 with lion smiley (1ms) , merge down frame 2 (1ms) replace onto frame 2 with lion smiley (1ms)  and so on.

Sounds like A LOT OF MANUAL WORK Angry , and this is only for describing, the actual project might use animations with 40 frames.

I was also looking for some online gif software, but did not any helpful for my task. 
1.Is there a magic gimp script / way or other software to help with the whole problem?Also very helpful to know: 
2. After loading the background png, how to paste the animated gif and its 7 layers NOT IN THE CENTER, but at a certain XY position, so all the 7 frames are automatically pasted at that XY position.
3. How to AUTOMATICALLY merge 7 frames down to the background image, so they are still 7 frames and the background image is dispayed in every frame.
 
I really do hope you understand what I want to say, let me rephrase if not! 

Thanks in advance for any effort! Wink

  Help/suggest how to make the images more similar
Posted by: chrisj - 02-05-2018, 05:56 PM - Forum: General questions - Replies (5)

Help/suggestion how to make these images more similar

I'm looking for help/suggestion on how to make these two images appear more similar.
The arrow(click) image seems to be thicker and brighter than the finger(touch) image.
What do you suggest? And what would be the easiest way to accomplish your suggestion, please.

(- and maybe also turn the finger so it is diagonal like the arrow?)
