  No Option in 2.10 to Export as jpg/jpeg, png,...
Posted by: SPIRITWH60 - 05-03-2018, 02:12 AM - Forum: Gimp 2.10 - Replies (8)

Gimp 2.10 gives me no options to save or export in any other file type except xhtml, ora and xcf. I need to save my image in png or at least jpeg/jpg.
I tried saving in Open Raster (.ora), and got these error messages:

Calling error for procedure 'gimp-procedural-db-proc-info': Procedure 'file-png-save' not found

Saving 'C:\Users\Debby\Desktop\HairLock.ora' failed:OpenRaster plug-in could not save image

Does anyone know what I can do? Please Help!

  file browser
Posted by: gimp-artist - 05-03-2018, 12:47 AM - Forum: General questions - Replies (1)

I have several favorite folders in system file browser, but gimp application is not showing up all of the favorite folders in the left pane when I opened the file browser in gimp for saving files. Even I only may add the last sub folder of some files not the parent folders. It is weird to explain like this. How do you guys manage to add favorite folders for gimp application to save and open files?

It seems that the system file browser is capable of adding any folder as a favorite folder, but the gimp file browser won't adding the root folder of mounted disk as a favorite folder. Anyone know about this? Am I the first one who find out this?

  Gimp 2.10.0 icon size
Posted by: dmcentee - 05-02-2018, 09:15 PM - Forum: Installation and usage - Replies (4)

I just installed Gimp 2.10.0 and I find that the size of the icons on my 4K screen are too tiny to use.

(As an example, on my 15" diag. screen, the brush icons are approximately 0.10 inches wide, tool icons are approx. 0.15 inches
When using Gimp 2.8 on my older 1K screen, these icons are 0.3 inches wide)

Is there a way to increase the size of everything ?

Thanks in advance

  Error opening tif file created by GIMP
Posted by: ajax - 05-02-2018, 08:27 PM - Forum: General questions - Replies (8)

When using GIMP 2.10 and trying to open an image in the form of a tif file that was created by GIMP 2.8 the error shown in the attached file occurred.  Result is that that GIMP 2.10 cannot be used to process this file.  It might also be worth noting that some other programs are able to open the subject file.  This includes Picasa, XnViewMP, Paint, Canon DPP4, and Rawtherapee.  Notably Windows Photo Viewer is unable to open the subject file.

  Unable to export images
Posted by: Zero01 - 05-02-2018, 07:33 PM - Forum: General questions - Replies (10)

Hello - I've updated Windows (more fool me, I know...) and now GIMP (2.8.22) won't export images jpg or png and I'm guessing anything else too but I've only tried those thus far, saving to xcf is no problem though.

The error I get is "Saving "C:\Users\me\Documents\no_sleep.png" failed:
Could not open  "C:\Users\me\Documents\no_sleep.png" for writing.
No such file or directory"

Not sure if this a Windows or GIMP-specific bug. Can anyone suggest a solution please, many thanks.

EDIT: It seems like it's fine exporting any format image to my User specific folder (the same folder that includes ".gimp-2.8"), but not anywhere else.. pretty sure it is actually a Windows fault, as I now also don't seem to be able to export to png in Inkscape, and OBS Studio won't record, maybe other software is up the creek too, my "sleep" function no longer works.
Hmm, must complain to someone...

  Error received when trying to Add Border
Posted by: ajax - 05-02-2018, 03:38 PM - Forum: General questions - Replies (1)

When I try to add a border (Filter>Decor>Add Border) using GIMP 2.10 the errors shown in the attached file appear.  While it leaves the expected border un-drawn it does seem to leave the added border area selected in such a state that simply using menu item "Edit>Fill with FG color" seems to have the effect of finishing the job.

  Graphic tablet configuration
Posted by: PeterH - 05-02-2018, 03:34 PM - Forum: Gimp 2.10 - No Replies

I have been using Gimp 2.8 (on Windows 8) with a Wacom Bamboo tablet for years now.  Providing I start Gimp using the tablet pen and not the mouse, when I press the upper button on the pen, I can move the Gimp image around on the screen, rather then use the scroll bars at the bottom and side of the screen.  If I start Gimp with the mouse this button gives me a drop down menu, the same as the right button on a mouse.

I have just installed Gimp 2.10.  Now, even after starting Gimp with the tablet pen, the upper button gives me the drop down menu.

I have found the ability to move the image around on the screen without using the scroll bars incredibly convenient.  Is there some preference I can set to get the 2.8 behaviour back?

  The Playground
Posted by: rich2005 - 05-02-2018, 08:59 AM - Forum: Gimp 2.10 - No Replies

For those who went straight from Gimp 2.8 to Gimp 2.10 two experimental tools seem to be missing. Note the experimental These are a n-point deformation tool and a seamless clone tool

These can still be enabled using the switch --show-playground In Windows it would be

Code:
C:\Program Files\GIMP 2\bin\gimp-2.10.exe --show-playground

The switch can be added to the launcher or a one-time use to enable either of the tools

This gives a new entry Playground in Edit -> Preferences Restart Gimp for these to show in the ToolBox.

[Image: QIjm4sb.jpg]

These are experimental, not much use on any larger images, ok up to about 1500 x 1500 pix then become very-very slow (or crash).

The n-point deformation looks like this: https://i.imgur.com/WQioWAp.jpg click and drag nodes around to deform the layer.

The seamless clone takes a copied selection and merges with a layer taking into account the colours in the layer: https://i.imgur.com/Fmdd3C6.jpg The point being you can move this around before fixing in position the merge changing when moved.

  color values
Posted by: gimp-artist - 05-02-2018, 03:23 AM - Forum: General questions - Replies (3)

I'm checking equation for the layer mode. I know white is 255, and black is 0. These values are useful for calculation for layer equations like multiply and divide.

How do I know color values? Do you know color values for major colors?

  Need Help Manipulating a Lock of Hair
Posted by: SPIRITWH60 - 05-02-2018, 02:01 AM - Forum: General questions - Replies (3)

Hi. I am using Wonderful Gimp 2.10 in Windows 10. I have an image of a lock of hair that I need to manipulate into a spiral curl. Does anyone know how I could do that using the new warp feature, the other warp plugin, or some other tool I can use to do that? I am looking to create hair out of real images of straight locks of hair. The result would look much like the hair in the photo below. Thanks a bunch! Debby
