  jpeg image error
Posted by: lori17 - 01-05-2018, 07:07 PM - Forum: General questions - Replies (3)

I have scanned several pages to my MBP. 
when I open a file in GIMP I get pop up message:
JPEG Image Message:  Corrupt JPEG data:240 extraneous bytes before marker 0xd9
I just click okay, carry on with my edits and save file to jpg in another location.

1. what does this error mean?
2. and do I really need to be concerned about it.
3. the edited files I will save as a group and pass on to others. 

thnx

  Why are lower layers cropping higher layers?
Posted by: gib65 - 01-04-2018, 04:33 PM - Forum: General questions - Replies (3)

Please watch the video at this site:

http://www.shahspace.com/gimp anomoly.mp4

What it shows is a new layer being created by a copy of a section of another layer. The new layer is then dragged to the bottom border of the lower layer and is cropped off. Why is it cropped off?

The new layer is on top. It shouldn't be cropped by anything.

In the video, I toggle the visibility of each layer to show the boundaries. It would be understandable if the middle layer acted as a viewport to all layers below it, thus cropping off any layers below it that aren't in the viewport. But this new layer is on top. So why is it being cropped?

  How do I view .xcf files or convert them to something usable?
Posted by: trow2 - 01-04-2018, 03:21 PM - Forum: General questions - Replies (1)

Hi,

Just downloaded GIMP, just about managed to import and edit a pic, but can't save it in any other format than .xcf which seems only to be viewable via GIMP? How do I save to a format that I can view in other programs? (My original image was RAW).

Thanks,

Matt.

  Split image into layers and edit
Posted by: Seeker - 01-04-2018, 01:04 PM - Forum: General questions - Replies (3)

Hi
I have a scanned image with some text at the top , a picture in the middle, and some text at the bottom.
I would like to make the picture smaller, while retaining the text so that the whole can make a CD box label 138mm wide x 117mm tall.
I have made duplicate layers, but I find that when I start editing one layer it edits the original layer as well.
Is there a tutorial which shows how to do this correctly?
I have tried Googling but most results are long and I haven't found one which covers what I am trying to do.

  Striped Brush
Posted by: Keyring - 01-04-2018, 11:39 AM - Forum: General questions - Replies (6)

Hello, (first post)


I've recently started using GIMP. I'd consider myself a newbie but not completely stupid.

I would like to be able to draw striped lines. There seems to be quite a few tutorials etc on doing striped backgounds etc but I was wondering if it is possible to create a "striped" brush. I know a pattern could achieve what I want but these use fixed colours (I believe). A normal brush paints the foreground colour where it is black and nothing where it is white. Can I make a simple brush that puts the background colour where the white is instead?

The reason is to be able to draw striped lines in ANY colour (by choosing them with the fore/back colour selector. I think to do this with a pattern would require a pattern for every colour combination.

I want to draw wiring diagrams in colour using multiple coloured wires (lines) some having a stripe. e.g. RED with a YELLOW stripe

Any thoughts? [Image: confused.gif]

Thanks

  How to Feather Edge of Graphic in a Circle?
Posted by: TechnicGeek - 01-03-2018, 01:15 PM - Forum: General questions - Replies (2)

Hello,

I have a graphic in a circle and I want to have it's edge feathered in order to fit it inside mockup.
it must look as if it is not just laid over it but kind of part of mockup.

To give a better idea of what I am looking for, here is an image of a cellphone laying on the ground
where ground has sort of vignette effect. The farther it goes from center, the less it is visible:

   

I don't know whether it's vignette or blue that I need but I hope picture shows it.
I need it on a transparent background and not white since I want to integrate it
inside a mockup.

Actually vignette would make my image dark I think so maybe it's some kind of
special blur that I need?

Thanks.

  Designing game boards
Posted by: SamusDrake - 01-01-2018, 11:50 PM - Forum: General questions - Replies (3)

Hello, this is my first post and I've been using Gimp over the years for small tasks such as creating alphas for images and exporting.

I've recently got back into tabletop gaming with games such as Castle Ravenloft, Frostgrave and Horizon Wars.  I've started on a project to essentially recreate two MB games from the early 1990s called Hero Quest and Space Crusade, and have been using MS Paint and Gimp to knock up simple grid print outs of game boards to match the sizes of miniature bases.  Sadly my 2D artskills are lacking(compared to my 3D skills and miniature painting), and although the boards I have made so far are good enough for gaming, I would really like to take it further and produce better looking board art.  I could just print the originals, but I actually enjoy doing it from scratch.

Would anyone know of any videos or books on this subject?

For some reason my png images are coming out with a black background as displayed in image provided. I simply add an image, then a layer mask. After removing the background layer, saving, and then exporting. I send the image, but it comes up with black edges whenever sending through messenger or facebook. Please help!
