I use the method with the guides and 2 python scripts.
2 questions:
1. Is it possible to automate layer movement? The images all have the same size. The layer needs to be moved in order to fit the guides of size 150 px. Is there a plugin or script that can let me move a layer to a position by entering x,y values or something?
2. Is is possible for the ofn-export-layers to have {numUp0}.png appear automatically so that I don't need to enter it each time when i run gimp?
I am doing some 3D modelling/rendering and want to create a greyscale bump map from a profile...
The profile is for a scalloped panel, as seen here:
So I want to use that profile to create a grayscale bump map like this (Dark is lower, light is higher), that repeats in the y direction, but follows a path that is the profile I am after.. kind of like this:
I created this one using a feathered Border Selection from a single central line, but it creates, a peak at the top and bottom of the bump which is not what I am after.
I find that using standard gradients are too linear, and I would like to use a Bezier curve path as the source for the gradient. If that makes sense.
Ok, so first - trying to upload the xcf file failed because of file size, so the only file possible to upload correctly is this png export settings.
Here is the file description.
Layer 1 - importet PNG file, file size about 55kB
Layer 2 - same dimension and roughly same size, but not same image.
Layer 3 - New transparent layer.
The layer 3 mainly consists of small spots of non-transparent pixels created with clone tool, so it's just to add/remove some features of a map.
The problem is that after exporting this image file to png format, the resulting file size get over 6MB - that is about 100 times larger, I expected the output png file to be maybe around 70kB at maximum.
Edit : Solved while edit this post
Ok, just figured the solution. The image precision was set to 32 bit floating point, and by converting to 8 bit integer, the exported PNG file became a nice 77kB file.
I post this anyway in case somebody happens to stumble upon same issue.
So I have a receipt that I accidentally dropped on the floor of my car. Didnt notice it and it got stepped on, dirty, wrinkled, and distorted but it turns out I actually really need it to make a return. And it cant be looked up by credit card, it was a cash receipt. So I scanned it, cropped it, converted it to black and white, and did a little bit of manual clean up. Already that did a massive amount of clean up but I would like to go a step further. A lot of the text is cracked and partly unreadable and the bar code has a crease through it. At the very least I would like the lettering especially for the transaction number to be crisp and readable. If possible I would also like to fix up the bar code. I wonder if I can actually get it to scan. So any tips for filling in the cracks in the text and cleaning up the barcode would be greatly appreciated. Thanks
**Note: For the image I uploaded I did block out specific details to keep it anonymous. Besides its only so you can see what Im working with. Not for you to do it for me. Thanks!
Hello all. I'm a beginner to Gimp and photo editing in general. I've attached a photo that I am trying to restore, and though there are many issues that I need to work on, there are two that I think need to be addressed first. The first, is how to correct the "light flare" in the upper and lower left corners. The second issue, is there any way to bring out more detail in the shadow under the trailer?
I am using Gimp 2.10.30 with G'MIC-QT version 3.3.4. My operating system is Linux Mint 21.3.
Currently I'm near completion of the Udemy course titled "GIMP 2.10 Masterclass: From beginner to pro photo editing". Actually I've finished the training modules and am working my way through the tutorials at the end to gain experience with the UI. Seems to be a good course, but it's emphasis is on design and creation. Sadly, I haven't a creative bone in my body and no interest is creating digital designs.
What I do have is several hundred photos from family photo albums taken from the early 1930's to the turn of the century that I want to restore.
Anyway, enough of my rambling, Any suggestions on coping with the bright spots on the left of the photo and the details in the trailer shadow?
Thanks in advance!
I've been working on a comic and for the text I would sometimes bold key words in the dialogue but now the bold feature just isn't working. I've been using the same font since I started and it used to bold but now it doesn't so I think it was an update that messed something up for it. I'm on gimp 2.10.36 and I tried going back to 2.10.0 but that still didn't fix it so I think I'd need to try 2.9 or something even older so if anyone knows where I can download that I'd appreciate that. Also if there's any way for me to fix it in this specific version I'd like to know that too. I read something about faux-bold which doesn't require the font to have a bold version but I don't know if that's a feature but if it is I'd like to know where to enable it. Thanks.
I have two identically-sized .png's that both contain (only) a large, solid circle.
In one image the circle has a few pixels around the perimeter that fade to transparent (barely noticeable at first, and gradually fading more until the last pixels at the very edge of the circle are almost completely transparent).
The other image contains only completely solid pixels (within the circle), and completely empty pixels (outside the perimeter).
Is there a way to apply (just) the alpha values from the first image, to the second one? (so the second one also fades gradually to transparent around the perimeter)
Is there a way in GIMP or a plugin, script, ... to extract all the black squares from this image automatically to separate PNG files?
So I need a folder that has all squares (no matter if the square is empty or not) saved as 1.png, 2.png, 3.png, ... from this image
I need step by step instructions because I'm a beginner
