Hey I'm Kate and I am new here,

I have been using gimp for a while.  I was excited when I got my new Samsung Notebook 9 Pro which has been recommended by several artists that I would get pen support for tilt and pressure.  Apparently the guy that reviewed it got support for several of his old WACOM pens without changing anything (here is the review  http://surfaceproartist.com/blog/2017/8/...-contender ) I am using the stylus which comes with it which is basically a mini S-pen. At first no apps recognized the pen & after a couple days of reading & back and forth with Samsung techs I discovered I needed to install the WinTab Driver.  So that solved my problem in Expresii which now gets both tilt and pressure data but gimp still doesn't even recognize my pen.  I have considered just getting a new pen which might solve my problem.  Would love to here about any experiences anyone might have with that.

I have read everything I can and have gone into the configure extended input devices but I just see the core pointer.  Do I need a separate Wacom driver?

From what I have read this is a pretty common problem so I am not terribly surprised, a bit disapointed though.  Anyway I am willing to put some time & effort into trying to get this to work.  I have a bit of programming experience & am a quick learner.  From what I have read this has something to do with the GTK which I assume is part of the communication system between the computer and the program.  I need someone to point me in the right direction though.  What should I read and what exactly is the problem?

Thanks in advance for your suggestions and help.

Kate

Where can I find brushes without attribution?!

" i moved to gimp and open source world!.. and for own reasons , i want to collect brushes from scratch with clear resources! Without the control of any one , excessive restrictions and impossible circumstances . i,mean real royalty brushes !...

Hello there, I'm new to GIMP and it looks like a fab program, once you have mastered all the intricacies, which I havn't yet. My questions will likely need a long answer, so if I could be pointed to any relevant links pertaining to my questions, it would be greatly appreciated

I work with .DDS files (I think they are single layer) to paint cars for a game, and would like to know if the following can be done with GIMP

Can a vehicles bumpers be "painted" with a chrome/shiney/reflective finish?

I see there are Hex/HTML color codes for flat colors. Can a "metallic finish" look be achieved?

If I wanted to paint a 2 tone car, say the roof/pillars as one color and the rest of the body another color (vinyl roof?), I tried using the bucket fill, but it keeps painting the whole car one color. Can you insert some sort of line on the body, so when you use the bucket fill it only fills a new color up to that line?

Sorry if these are simplistically asked questions 

Thanks  Chris

hello,
i am new to the forum so if i do anything incorrectly please feel free to educate me.    thanks

i am trying to learn how to use script-fu with some of the pre-supplied scripts (using spheredesigner as example). my research resulted in an overload of info on how to write and execute scripts.
i would like to know if there is anywhere i can see the actual "using" of a script that already exists. in the case of spheredesigner, i understand that it requires input of a "run mode" an "image" and a "drawable". i am trying to find an example or information on the format of these arguments. for example how is the image name formatted? would it be the whole name includiong path, a image number, a layer name or a million other possibilities?

i guess iam asking were do i find my options/formatting of the input parameters to an existing script?

thanks in advance, dhugg

Hi,

Running GIMP 2.8.10 on Windows 7 for now.  I have been asked to upload pictures of staff in to our email program so that when you send an email, to someone internal to our company, the picture is included so people see who you are.

We are running Exchange 2007 and its requirements for the pictures are 96x96 pixels and under 10KB in size, jpg file.  The pictures I have been given are in the realm of 5000x3864 pixels and 200MB so I need to pare them down.

I tried cropping and then scaling and that seemed to work except when I tried to export it to jpg it said the file size was around 20K.  So I tried to adjust the quality and to get to 10K but that left the subject of the picture unrecognizable.

Any suggestions on how to get there from here?  Is there a better order of operations or some other feature I missed that would help me meet the requirements but keep a reasonable picture?

Thanks in advance,
Linn

Hi everybody 

I'm a new Gimp user, so maybe my question is stupid ... Sorry about it if so 

I have a CorelDraw .cdr file and I would like to import it in Gimp. I also have CorelDraw software (free test edition) so I can export this file in another format if needed. I would like to import the file (more exactly its objects) into Gimp, so I could continue using Gimp to modify the logo. But it seems Gimp can't read .cdr files.

Please could you tell me which filetype I should use to export it from CorelDraw and then import it into Gimp ? Of course, I want to keep most informations about the CorelDraw "objects" (~ like objects and/or layers in Gimp)

If needed, here are the whole list of filetypes that can be used or export with Corel :
         

Thanks a lot for your help !

Does anybody know of a place where you can download all google fonts but sorted by category in folders ?

I made the greedy mistake to download them all, but obviously they are way too many. Even my font manager almost crashes when i try to view them
Im too lazy to sort them all by myself, but maybe somebody else has ?
