Photo Add padding to image spliced with guides
Posted by: malcom_p - 09-23-2017, 10:39 PM - Forum: General questions - Replies (2)

Hi, I found a script that automates adding grids (guides) to an image, but I am having problems adding padding to the image for every grid border. I had added guides every 8 pixels by 8 pixels and I would like to split this image up for every grid by adding 1 pixel padding to create empty space around each grid. I can split the image fine into other images using guillotine and splice, but this creates hundreds of separate images whereas I want to keep the image as one image. 

I have added a small example image to the post to help further explain what I am after. The image was at first one solid black block, but I have added padding to separate each 8x8 tile in the same image.

Question Help interpreting a histogram in Gimp
Posted by: linux_matt - 09-23-2017, 07:55 PM - Forum: General questions - Replies (2)

There is a certain type of histogram which shows a very flat graph with few pixels for any tone (light, mid or dark). This type of histogram (shown below) relates to photos with pale/washed-out colours. I have often wondered why this histogram appears to indicate that the photo actually has less pixels than another photo with the same resolution. Shouldn't the histogram show the same number of pixels for any image? I think I am interpreting the information incorrectly and would be grateful for advice on this

  Removing a back ground
Posted by: error718 - 09-22-2017, 08:20 PM - Forum: General questions - Replies (5)

hi

I want to make a back ground white (or transparent).

What i have are some warhammer 40k decals from forge world and need to make more of certain types off it.

However once i have scanned it into GIMP it retains the blue back ground with the decals on.

I will need this removing so when i print it on my clear decal paper it comes off 'clear' and not have the blue.

bit hard for me to explain , would be easier if i could post the sheet here but i don't know how too.

kind regards

E

  Can't send to printer in high quality mode
Posted by: BobSundquist - 09-22-2017, 12:04 PM - Forum: General questions - Replies (1)

I am trying to print from gimp.  When I open my printer driver (Brother MFC-J480DW) and select quality = Best then try to print it prints in Normal mode.  When I open the printer driver again it shows that it has reverted to Normal mode.  I don't have this issue with the printer driver when accessed from other programs.

  Floating Shadow On Top of My Pasted Object
Posted by: jda757 - 09-21-2017, 05:15 PM - Forum: General questions - Replies (5)

I am attempting to cut an object out of one picture, paste it onto the background of another picture, and add a drop shadow to make it look more realistic.

The problem is, the drop shadow is not only visible on the edges of the object, the shadow is visible over the object too.

I can't figure out how to move the pasted object forward, over the shadow. When I go Layer>Stack>Raise Layer....Raise Layer is greyed out. 

Right now the object is a "Floating Selection (Pasted Layer)". I tried anchoring it, but "Raise Layer" is still greyed out.

How do I get the drop shadow behind the object Ive pasted onto my picture?

PDF attached (GIMP file wouldnt fit)

Wink New here :)
Posted by: Tonko - 09-21-2017, 03:37 PM - Forum: Watercooler - Replies (1)

Hello there! Even if I have been using GIMP for a long time, I am totally new to this forum.

I will introduce myself.

I am a boy from Argentina who loves using GNU/Linux and GIMP. I also love animals (Specially cats) and photography.

I started using GIMP for very easy tasks, such as cropping a picture, or making it black/white. But now I have been learning new skills, and I am finally able to make cool pictures.

Before GIMP, I used (Please do not laugh here) Microsoft Powerpoint for editing pictures. But due to its limitations, I searched for an alternative.

Well, I don't know what else to say, other that Hello Smile

Brick How to virtually draw on a wall?
Posted by: Tonko - 09-21-2017, 03:27 PM - Forum: General questions - Replies (2)

Hello there. I am a new member, and I was wondering if it was possible to make a drawing on a wall using GIMP. I searched on Google, but I haven't found any useful answers. Below there is a reference of what I want to do (But virtually, and in a wall):

[Image: 1400956589341.jpeg]
PLEASE NOTE: The picture is NOT mine, I just found it in Google Images

The reason because I want to do it virtually is because I do not have the materials to draw in the wall in real life.

Any ideas?

Thanks.

  Install the MathMap plug-in for Windows
Posted by: rich2005 - 09-20-2017, 11:12 AM - Forum: Extending the GIMP - Replies (2)

The old MathMap plugin has largely been superseded by say, gimp-gmic but is still interesting.

The Windows installer download is here: http://www.complang.tuwien.ac.at/schani/mathmap/

One problem with the installer is its age, comes from 2009 and expects Gimp 2.6 not Gimp 2.8

There are various ways for getting MathMap working, here is mine, a short three minute video demo
