  Creating B&W images
Posted by: godek - 12-30-2017, 08:53 PM - Forum: General questions - Replies (18)

I don't remember how or what it was. I learned this in a photography class in college and since have forgotten it. I think it was toning or maybe split toning or perhaps it was adjusting the contract but it had to do with using the eye dropper. I think the eye dropper was for finding the darkest(shadows) and lightest(highlights) areas and using that to get the perfect black and white for that particular image. I think this was done after the channel mixer with the contract tool then you used the eye dropper to get the measurements.

How do I do this in gimp? I am using gimp development version 2.9.8. Is there a tutorial somewhere?

  Surface Pen now writing funky
Posted by: GraphiteGuru - 12-30-2017, 05:20 PM - Forum: General questions - Replies (2)

I have been working with Gimp and other similar shareware on my relatively new Surface Pro 4. The Surface Pen I have is an older version, since the store I bought it from was out of the newest and I wanted to get started right away. Overall it has been working fine, but just in the last day it started writing funky, starting out light and gradually darkening, this happening with each new stroke. What is odd is that it is happening across platform in other programs the same way, no matter what tool/options I've selected. It's undoubtedly due to some unintentional tinkering I've done, but I don't know where to go to fix it. I used to be able to select for a solid black stroke and actually get that, but not now. It's not good when you want to define a space with a solid outline in order to fill it with a color.

  Tool options not docking with Tool Box
Posted by: GraphiteGuru - 12-30-2017, 05:03 PM - Forum: General questions - Replies (3)

Hello, my first post/question (ever) to this group. I have been using Gimp on and off for several years but am only moderately knowledgeable about it. 

Recently my tool options became detached from my tool box (probably from some tinkering on my part), and nothing I can find or do is allowing it to "dock" again, although it plainly says below the tools that I can dock it there. Dragging it there by the top tab (as I understand suggestions I found on-line) only puts it there, floating above the tools. What miniscule step(s) am I missing?

By the way, I am working with the Surface Pro 4 and the version of the Surface Pen that has the clip (would that be the Surface Pen 3?)

  Gimp 2.9 color blending problem
Posted by: mholder - 12-30-2017, 02:08 PM - Forum: Gimp 2.10 - Replies (2)

Perhaps it is best to watch this video first (if you haven't seen it yet) to understand what I am having an issue with.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LKnqECcg6Gw

In Gimp 2.9 I did a test with an image in 32 bit float and linear color space, although the same problem exists in 8 bit.
I start with a simple image:
   
In a new layer using the 2.9 'normal' default layer mode, painting new colors lines has this effect:
   
This is correct.  If you look around the edges of the colors, they blend correctly.
But if I paint directly in the same layer, I get the dark outlines:
   
In other words, the new layer modes work correctly, but if colors are painted on the same layer, the colors do not blend correctly.

Anyone know what I can do to fix this?  Should I download a different color space, or is this just a hard-coded flaw?

  Win 10 Won't Let Me Set GIMP as Default for JPG's
Posted by: Sabia - 12-29-2017, 08:50 PM - Forum: Windows - Replies (4)

Greetings,

Windows 10 doesn't give me the option to choose GIMP as the default program for opening jpeg's.

It gives specific programs I can choose but doesn't allow me to search in my program files to find GIMP and set it as the default. 

Any suggestions?

Thanks,

Sabia

  compressed .gif issues
Posted by: Kairu - 12-29-2017, 06:54 PM - Forum: General questions - Replies (2)

I'm trying to make an animated .gif and it looks great when I save it uncompressed. When I compress it and save it it looks like this, with black flashing on and off once more moving parts are added.  Any idea of what is going wrong? Thanks for any help. 

EDIT: Was black when I open the .gif, transparent here.

  Can't move layers
Posted by: Netherzapdos - 12-29-2017, 11:41 AM - Forum: General questions - Replies (2)

Hey, i'm new to Gimp so i sorry if i sound like a noob right now.

Anyways, i can't seem to move layers, and no i'm not talking about using the move tool, i'm talking about the layers on the right side, the layer WINDOW.

Is this a normal feature in Gimp? I had a feeling programs like this would allow to move your layers up and down, but i have to use the buttons instead which is kinda annoying

Thankss

(im uploading a picture, that's the window i'm talking about and i can't move layers up and down)

Gimp-Forum is no longer WIP, so it's time for a logo/banner change. Fortunately, Espermaschine had plenty of good ideas to replace our logo while keeping it clean and simple. So, which one do you prefer?

   
(click for larger view)

You can also compare them by toggling the visibility of layers in the attached XCFGZ (one logo per layer).

You can vote for up to three logos.

  32 bit floats that do not clip
Posted by: mholder - 12-28-2017, 11:44 PM - Forum: Gimp 2.10 - No Replies

I just started seriously looking at this with the 32 bit float and linear stuff.  One person that seems to understand this is here:
https://ninedegreesbelow.com/photography...ed-editing

In particular, part C:
"GIMP 2.9 does provide a number of "unclamped" editing operations from which the clipping code in the equivalent GIMP 2.8 operation has been removed. For example, at floating point precision, the Levels upper and lower sliders, Unsharp Mask, Channel Mixer and "Colors/Desaturate/Luminance" do not clip out of gamut RGB channel values (however, Curves does clip). Also the Normal, Lightness, Chroma, and Hue blend modes do not clip out of gamut channel values."

What blows my mind is that some operations do not clip the rgb values at 100%.  In other words, I can go brighter than white and darker than black and still recover the information.  So it looks like some of the color operations allow this.

For example the exposure, HCL color changer, brightness and contrast, and a few others I think, allow me to blow out the colors and still recover them.


Quick example:  Start point
   
I darken it too much
   
Normally I would lose that info, but the color picker shows values below 0%
   

I can get it back!!!
   

Look at those values!
   
Recovered
   
I'm sorry if this has already been discussed, but it really excited me to discover it

  Need Help URGENT (Editing Videos on GIMP)
Posted by: Vigilance - 12-28-2017, 05:41 PM - Forum: General questions - Replies (2)

So I'm trying to make a farewell video but I am having a ton of trouble doing it. I have 5 hours before I have to give it to this person. Can someone please help me? 

I will link you to the youtube video. It is a short 1:30 second clip. There are two parts that I need help with. First, there are 3 characters throughout the clip. I need to add 3 different square images over their face for the entire video. Then, there is a dub running through the video in which I need certain word edits that I will detail below. 

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9RsecyBQaMs

Pictures

[Image: aqZcb69.png] on the kids face (the kid who has slicked back black hair/isn't on the ship/steals the wallet)

Then, I need this square image 

[Image: latest?cb=20140329042325]
to be over the dude in the back's face (dude holding a baby/wearing that long white coat)

Finally, this square image
[Image: 6122.jpg?1514057267] 
over the old dude with a beard's face (he gets his wallet stolen and is talking to the kid while he's on the ship)

Now for the text edits:

-the way i've set it out is I've given the time and the sentence that is on the screen at the time. Just edit in the words in the '[ ]' in their place.

So at 0:08, it goes:
"Now then...I guess I should say goodbye to the son I am so proud of"
 the edit needed:
"now then... i guess i should say goodbye to the [Satix] i'm so proud of."
So 'son' was replaced with 'satix.'

Here is the full list of text edits with the timing:
now then... i guess i should say goodbye to the [Satix] i'm so proud of. (0:08)
the picture of (LV) that i just gave you (0:11)
yes. i put it in my [account] just as you asked (0:16)
i'm leaving without seeing your [theme] but i wish [it] nothing but happiness. (0:23)
ah... so you put it in your [account] (0:26)
a [ben] should give his [OC] his [pokepoints], right? (0:42)
your [urge to work on lv's] gonna get [itching again] (0:49)


Please please please if someone could help me that would be wonderful. I am even willing to learn how to do it if someone can make it super easy to understand.

Not sure if this is against rules but I might even be able to pay you like $5 I am really desperate
