  is it me or is it Gimp?
Posted by: Ofnuts - 12-04-2017, 03:36 PM - Forum: General questions - Replies (5)

In the attached XCF (small!: 5x5pixels), there are 4 layers: 1, 2, 3 and the problem layer, "Numpy Ops" (which is identical to "1", with one red and one blue square). For me, this layer:

  • Shows in the Layers list, but behave as a transparent layer in the Image window.
  • Remains invisible if I copy/paste it over itself (Ctrl-C,Ctrl-V,Ctrl-H)
  • Produces a visible copy if I copy it as a new layer (Ctrl-C,Ctrl-V,Ctrl-Shift-N)
  • Can be painted over, but the painting only shows in the Layers list
Is it the same for you?

The layer is produced using the "pixel region" API for Python...

  Possible to replace foreground with background?
Posted by: gimper - 12-04-2017, 10:10 AM - Forum: General questions - Replies (2)

I'm new; this is my first message.

I'm new to GIMP, but I'm learning everyday.

My question is: 

Is it possible to cut out the foreground of an image and replace the cut out area with a continuation of the background in such a way that the new image looks flawless and continuous?

If the background is just one simple color, this would be easy.

Similarly, if the background is a simple repeating pattern, then this would also be easy.

But what if the background is not simple?

Here's a concrete example of what I mean:

Let's say I take a photo of my friend standing in front of a wooded area with trees and the sky in the background and the green grass at his feet and everything else you would expect to see at the woods.

I can easily cut out my friend's image from the photo.

But is it possible to fill in the empty space where my friend's image was with a continuation of the background in such a way that the resulting image looks as if my friend were never there to begin with?

  Making a precise blurry border
Posted by: Espermaschine - 12-03-2017, 08:58 PM - Forum: General questions - Replies (3)

Finished my season's greetings image yesterday and the thing i surprisingly struggled the most with was getting the vignette/blurry outline right.

Lets say i want something like this:

   

and i want perfect control over every detail of my blurry border. I want a certain area to be opaque, the rest blurry and i want to perfectly control how far the blurry region reaches.
How would you do this ?

Shrinking and feathering doesnt give me very predictable results....

I tried to solve the problem by reversing the approach:
shrunk a selection, inverted, activated the quick mask then blurred and manipulated with the curves tool.
Its still not the perfect solution.

   






Stars on transparent background for examples.

  How to export pixel data to excel?
Posted by: Razorclad - 12-02-2017, 08:17 PM - Forum: General questions - Replies (3)

If you use a selection tool to select a perimeter of an object, is there a way to output the pixel locations (x and y) to excel?

  Mug sublimation images.
Posted by: Pal1 - 12-02-2017, 05:24 PM - Forum: General questions - Replies (19)

Hi guy's I'm a newby  Big Grin I've been trying to learn how to use gimp for printing images for mug sublimation. I've looked on youtube etc for tutorials but not found what I need. (I'm not very good at this) Blush I want to open a new page/box A4 size then add two images at 10cm width and 8.5cm high to the top of the A4 page/box. I would want the two images side by side. And then to duplicate them on the same page/box. Any help would be superb. 

Cheers, Pal1

  How to Create Outline Effect with Drop Shadow?
Posted by: TechnicGeek - 12-02-2017, 06:02 AM - Forum: General questions - Replies (12)

Hello,

This screenshot below should demonstrate what I want to do:

   

I used to do it in other software with Drop Shadow but when I tried that effect in GIMP, I was only able to create blurry outline. There is only blur control unlike in other graphic designer.

Would like to know how to do this properly in GIMP, even if it takes other type of effect to achieve desired result.

Thanks.

  ofnuts Addon Manager problem (Fonts only)
Posted by: Espermaschine - 12-02-2017, 03:32 AM - Forum: Extending the GIMP - Replies (2)

Problem: sometimes im unable to deactivate font folder.
It processes, but never finishes.

Deleting the .active file doesnt help.

I always find a copy of the folder in the 'gimp2.8 User/fonts' folder.
Deleting this folder-copy and the .active file solves the problem.

It seems this occurs, when i add a folder with the manager and quit Gimp.
After the restart i cant disable the folder.

But this behaviour is not with every folder.
Some work and some dont as if it depends on the fonts inside the folder.

This never happens with other assets like brushes, pattern, gradients.

Is this perhaps related to the font name or when i have a font installed on my windows7 system and the same font in an active font_storage ?

  Glitch Art-2
Posted by: Espermaschine - 12-01-2017, 04:18 PM - Forum: General questions - Replies (7)

Okay, it took me a while to figure out what this is and that it does not make bathroomfloors (lol).

Was just surfing bandcamp and stumbled over another version of the currently popular glitch effect.

https://whiteforestrecords.bandcamp.com/...-ep-wfr038   (click on the image in the link for bigger version)

Tried it with Lenna.

I filled in the holes with resynthesizer - heal transparency.

Now im wondering: could the script produce random sized strips ? Or strips based on a mask ?

  HELP! My tablet is lagging when I draw new lines!
Posted by: james92498 - 12-01-2017, 11:15 AM - Forum: General questions - Replies (6)

Whenever I start a new line, my tablet has a jump where it doesn't track my pen's movement. It results in really awkward curves and is proving to be very frustrating. It doesn't seem to be a Gimp exclusive problem however, but I don't know where else to turn for help. I have included a video of the occurance: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XVu24-iZuzU
