  Smudge Tool question
Posted by: JuanMena - 09-01-2017, 09:57 PM - Forum: General questions - Replies (3)

Hi everyone.
I have a question regarding the Smudge Tool in GIMP 2.8.22 and GIMP Paint Suit by Ramon Miranda.

So, as may be guessing, I use GIMP to paint, and for basic picture editing.
And, I saw in one video by Ramon Miranda, that, he has a diferent version of the Smudge Tool.

He has this "behaviour" in which, if you have two colors next to each other, using the Smudge Tool would blend them and actually mix their tones togrther. For instance, if you have Yellow next to Blue, using Smudge Tool in both would bring a Green tone.
More precisely:
[Image: 4138_mixbrush.png]
Notice how each colour blends together to create new colors.

Now: I use GIMP 2.8.22 and the latest GIMP Paint Suite. But my Smudge tool doesn't work like that.
So, WHAT DO I HAVE TO DO in order to have this behaviour with the Smudge Tool?

Thanks in advance!
PS: New in the forums.

  Help with base template shape
Posted by: bassman6805 - 09-01-2017, 07:12 PM - Forum: General questions - Replies (2)

Please excude my ignorance but I am new to Gimp and graphic design.  I am working on a project and have some basic questions.  I am wanting to know how I can can create a shape cutout and be able to overlay pictures within the shape like the youtube video.  This is the type of project I am doing.  I have the shape drawn and an eps for it.  I am hoping someone might be able to give me a few pointers on how to do this.  Once again, sorry for my lack of knowledge.  I am sure there are proper terms for what I am trying to do but I'm new.

  Hiding image/tab bar on single window mode, when only one image open
Posted by: serola - 09-01-2017, 06:53 AM - Forum: Installation and usage - Replies (2)

I have tried to find out if I can hide so called image/tab bar on single window mode and when there is only one image open.

The example image (Figure 1.1) at docs.gimp.org shows that the image bar should not be displayed when there is only one image opened: https://docs.gimp.org/2.8/en/gimp-introd...s-new.html

This also seems to be the case on Gimp version 2.8.8 that I have on my Windows 7 PC.

But when I have installed a later stable Gimp 2.8 on my Ubuntu Linux 16.04 laptop, the image/tab bar becomes displayed always, even when only one image is open.

So, was this an option only on version 2.8.8?

Or is there a way to hide the image/tab bar when only one image is open?

Or is there at least way to move the image/tab bar to some other location (e.g. to left of image window)?

  Can someone help me with this tutorial? (gradient effect to text on different layer)
Posted by: EricSigh - 08-31-2017, 05:24 PM - Forum: General questions - Replies (2)

https://graphicdesign.stackexchange.com/questions/77527/how-to-make-retro-80s-chrome-text-in-gimp

This is the tutorial I'm trying to use. On the "Text Shading" step, he creates layers above the text layer, and puts them in value mode. He then applies the gradient/blur tool to this layer, and it affects the text layer underneath it. I haven't been able to recreate this for some reason. I noticed that in the picture the layer mode is actually set to multiply, but even by doing this, I can't get the gradient applied to the text. When I make the layer, it defaults to transparent, could this be why?

Thanks, any help is appreciated.

  Script-fu: How to create new, addressable layer using gimp-floating-sel-to-layer
Posted by: Bertholomäus - 08-31-2017, 02:32 PM - Forum: Extending the GIMP - Replies (2)

Hi!

I'm working for the first time with script-fu. I have an image from which I want to cut several parts and past them subsequently as new layers. Afterwards I'd like to manipulate those newly pasted layers but I cannot address them. I tried it in the  following way

Code:
(gimp-rect-select IMAGE 360 0 730 145 2 0 0)
(gimp-edit-cut LAYER1)
(set! VARIABLE1 (car ( gimp-edit-paste LAYER1 0 ) ) )
(set! VARIABLE2 ( car (gimp-floating-sel-to-layer VARIABLE1 ) ) )

 I expected VARIABLE2 to be a new layer that I can refer to as "VARIABLE2" but when I call a function like
Code:
(gimp-layer-scale VARIABLE2 1245 1113 0 )

I get an error message saying that  VARIABLE2 is not a valid input parameter.

Another strange thing that's happening, is that upon repeating the code block above, say 4 times to cut and paste different regions off LAYER1, the creation of the new layers works well up to the 3rd one. On the contrary the creation of the last layer gives just an empty layer instead of the area that should be cut from LAYER1. If I add an additional dummy layer the 4th layer is fine since now the dummy layer became the weird one,.

Can somebody explain to me what's going on and what I'm doing wrong?

You can find the original and complete code in the attachment.

Using Gimp on apple Mac, loaded new canvas,  and when drawing a line, the line doesn't show, although the pencil logo shows. 

Anybody got any idea what I am doing wrong?

Is it the software or the soft user?

Photo Cleaning scanned magazine pages
Posted by: MrNiceButDim - 08-31-2017, 05:19 AM - Forum: General questions - Replies (16)

I'm totally inexperienced with GIMP but I chanced upon this recipe that would meet my needs for a rather big project I'm currently doing. It's about cleaning scanned magazine pages where the print on the back side shines through the thin paper making the reading less enjoyable.

GIMP Recipe:

  1. Open a file.
  2. Convert your document to grayscale: Image - Mode - Grayscale.
  3. Select the background color: Select - By Color, click with mouse pointer on the color of the background.
  4. Invert the selected color: Select - Invert.
  5. Copy the selection: Edit - Copy.
  6. Create a new file: File - New.
  7. In the dialog of a new file, in field: Advanced Options choose: Fill with: White, hit Ok.
  8. Click anywhere in the window of the new opened document, just to choose it.
  9. Paste the content of a clipboard: Edit - Paste.
  10. Add a new layer to enhance the black text: Layer - New from Visible, in the layer's palette, in field: Mode: choose Multiply.
  11. Combine two layers: Layer - Merge Down.
  12. Save the result as a JPEG file: File - Export As, choose jpeg and set the quality at least 60.

I have a couple of questions.
  •  When getting to "Combine two layers: Layer - Merge Down." the Merge Down option is grayed out so I can't apply that step.
What could be the reason? And why does it say "Combine two layers" when there is three?

1.Floated selection (Pasted Layer)
2.Visible
3.Background
  •  When selecting a background color to be - erased/turned to white - what would be the best way to pick a wider range of grayness than the rather sparse instruction the recipe suggests "By Color, click with mouse pointer on the color of the background."

  red/blue swap (Gimp 2.9)
Posted by: E_T - 08-28-2017, 01:33 PM - Forum: General questions - Replies (2)

I'm trying our IR photography and use Lightroom, but I've been using Gimp to swap the red and blue channels.  Works great, but I noticed that it doesn't seem to work right if I export the image from LR in Adobe Pro RGB colorspace.  When I do this, and swap the colors in Gimp, they look off.  The sky should be blue, but it looks more blue/green.

If I export the image in sRGB, the swap works as it should.  Any idea why this happens?

  Tool Preset Tagging Problem
Posted by: JackAttack - 08-27-2017, 09:46 PM - Forum: General questions - Replies (8)

Hi!
I am having a problem with tagging tool preset. Let's say I have two brushes (Sketch Pencil, and Oil Brush) that are not related or even next to another in the tool preset window. Now, let's say I want to tag Oil Brush with a new tag, painting. I click on the Oil Brush Preset, and type painting into the tag window, then press Enter. Now that tag appears in the tag box. Then, if I filter my presets by "painting", instead of Oil Brush showing up, Sketch Pencil shows up. If I click on sketch pencil, "painting" does not show up in the tag box, but it does show up in the Oil Brush tag box. What is going on? 
Thanks for all your help in advance!
