  clone tool in xubuntu 16.04
Posted by: petter5 - 10-04-2017, 02:49 PM - Forum: General questions - Replies (2)

clone tool in xubuntu 16.04

Hi ! My first post to this forum. When using windows, the clone tool works as expected. Using Xubuntu 16.04 - the clone tool does not perform any clone operation after pressing ctrl+click as usual and start to clone - you can see the +is following, but the area to clone does not fill up with the cloned area.

According to google search "xubuntu show mouse position on Control" there could be due to a mouse pointer setting, but really - I have been unable to find any solution to get this to work. Since I prefer Linux 99% over windows, I would appreciate help to get this to work also under Ubuntu.

  Cropping - Custom Crop Guides
Posted by: SpiDeeWebb - 10-04-2017, 07:33 AM - Forum: General questions - Replies (5)

Hello All,

Bottom Line Up Front: I want to create a new cropping guide for passports.

I'm having a little trouble with terminology. 

I can't figure out what the heck developers refer to these as.

I'm seeing under the presets they're just referred to simply as 'guide center-line' 'guide rule-of-thirds.'
I thought it'd be a simple matter of loading it up in GCC searching the right term, and playing around with it.

I just can't for the life of me find them to begin with.

Sad Strange Filter Behaviour - Filter GUI not interacting
Posted by: SamPat - 10-03-2017, 07:37 PM - Forum: Installation and usage - Replies (4)

Hey Guys and Gals,

I've got a strange problem I couldn't find the answer to on the internet.

I have a new layer with some text and select that text to treat it with a gaussian blur. But when I select the filter in the filter dropdown menu I cannot interact with the filter GUI. I can't check or uncheck the preview box and interact with the parameters. I even cannot exit the window via the "cancel" button, only by pressing escape.

Restarting my mac or reinstalling GIMP didn't work so now I'm stranded. 

Somebody knows anything?

Kind Regards

  Dark GIMP Theme (Based on Advaita Dark desktop theme)
Posted by: justusr846 - 10-03-2017, 04:05 PM - Forum: Extending the GIMP - Replies (1)

Hey guys,

This is a dark theme based on the Advaita Dark theme for GNOME. I modified the gtkrc file (with a lot of trial and error) and merged files from Advaita and the default 'Dark' theme to get this. It was made with GIMP 2.97, so I'm not sure it works with older versions.

   



It was made as a standalone because using Advaita Dark as the system theme interferes with other applications, like the browser etc.

Download the theme file here:
.zip   Advaita Dark GIMP Theme.zip (Size: 160.29 KB / Downloads: 2047)



How to install (for newbies),

Extract the file to the 'themes' folder within GIMP.

Then open GIMP, Go to Edit --> Preferences --> Themes --> Advaita Dark





There are still a couple of things I noticed that needed fixing, but I haven't figured out how to solve them yet. Like...



This outline that comes around the recently accessed button.
   



The system theme based outline color around the panels (which I think would be better if it was something dark)
   



...and to match the color of the ruler to the tab.
   


Also I don't know if any better dark themes are available.... and all this might be irrelevant.  ^_^



Updates:

4/10/2017 - Theme file replaced. (Updated the scrollbar)

  How to introduce Title and description to a Photo?
Posted by: silc - 10-03-2017, 03:30 PM - Forum: General questions - Replies (1)

Hi experts,

I'm new in the forum and also in Gimp. I've been following several tutorials and I made some changes to a photo and I think the photo is now better.

I would like to ask how can I give a title, description, keywords and copyright to my photo in Gimp (Metadata)?
I would like to upload my photo to a Stock Photography website, but I'm not seing where I can introduce all these necessary data in Gimp.

Thanks for your help.

Cheers.

  Arc an image
Posted by: johna1954 - 10-03-2017, 11:41 AM - Forum: General questions - Replies (4)

Hi,
Looking to see if there is an easy way or a plugin  that will allow me to take an image and warp in the shape of an Arc similar to the 'Warp' Arc feature in our well known rival. I have tried various 'Warp' options that GIMP offers, 'Curve Bend', 'iWarp' and 'Polar Co-ordinates'.
I am trying to take a photographic image and shape to fit on a Latte shaped mug. I can create a template of the overall required shape but unable to get the image to fit correctly.
All searches on Google point to Photoshop. I run Linux and quite happy with GIMP. Is there possibly a plugin? I have searched for one but came up empty.
TIA for any help, hints etc.
John

  Scheme: reading Extended ASCII files
Posted by: nbeaudet - 10-03-2017, 11:15 AM - Forum: Extending the GIMP - Replies (2)

Hello to all!

I am attempting to read Ascii files into Scheme. For some reason unknown to me, accented letters (ExtendedASCII) are ignored.

I am using the following statements:


Code:
(define inFile (open-input-file "E:/SomeFile.txt"))
(read inFile)
(read inFile) will properly read words with punctuation.

But lines like :

Lods: redevance féodale
Tourer: préparer pâte feuilletée 

will be read in as :

Lods: redevance fodale
Tourer: prparer pte feuillete 

Labelling of layers/channels/LayerGroups, in stand-alone scripts I have programmed, have shown no difficulties with accented letters.

What is missing from my code above?

Thanks in advance,

Nicolas Beaudet

P.S.
Gimp.2.8.22 / Windows 10 64-bit / Notepad++ as Script editor.

  print business card
Posted by: Wrenchman - 10-02-2017, 01:55 PM - Forum: General questions - Replies (4)

Hi there, I'm new to Gimp and to this forum, I've been doing Gimp for about a month now and although I didn't understand it in the beginning it's really quite user friendly, BTW. I use 2.8 

anyway I ran into a problem making mine own homemade business-cards, and that is that the front and the back do not perfectly overlap when printed.

I'm trying to push everything a little bit by chance and then hoping for the best, using a lot of draft paper, but it's still off by about 2 mm on the print.

I see one solution would be to make a larger bleeding area, as of now I have zero bleeding area, but I would rather like to understand how to make a perfect overlap.

more specifically: Horizontally the overlap seems perfect; Vertically it's off by 2 mm 

also I discovered that when you print the front and then turn the paper around and put it back in the printer everything turns opposite so that what was printed on the left side of the paper is now printed on the right side.

Thanks,
