  Problem with G'mic
Posted by: Exi5tence - 05-11-2017, 12:35 PM - Forum: Extending the GIMP - Replies (3)

Hello. I am having trouble with G'mic. The final result isn't the same as what I see in the preview window. It doesn't always happen, but often it does.

How can I correct this? For some reason this wont let me attach a print screen, so I can only type text..

  Cannot Read Contents of Folder error - FIXED!
Posted by: GeneralProductsHull - 05-10-2017, 11:01 PM - Forum: General questions - Replies (7)

Hi all,

When I try to open or save files in GIMP 2.8.20 (and earlier versions) I get a popup that says "Cannot Read Contents of Folder"

I get this trying to open/save from/to different folders and I can't figure out how to fix it. Could someone help me please?

I'm not really new to GIMP, so I'm able to navigate around pretty well. Any help would be a huge boost. Thanks!

Mike
L.A.

  Your Gimp initial settings
Posted by: Ofnuts - 05-09-2017, 06:48 AM - Forum: Tutorials and tips - No Replies

When Gimp starts, it loads settings:

  • Active tool (for each pointing device)
  • Foreground and background colors
  • Pattern
  • Brush
  • Pattern
  • Palette
  • Font
  • Interpolation method
  • Specific settings for each tool
These setting can be either:
  • Some fixed settings you have set once for all
  • The settings at the end of your last session
If you are a beginner, the first solution is usually best, it allows you to remove strange settings you have set by mistake by quitting Gimp and starting it again. The second setting is better for seasoned users who in addition tend to work on a single image for extended periods of time.

To create/update the settings once for all:
  • Set everything as you wish (active tool, colors... use the list above as a starting point). 
  • Open Edit>Preferences-->Tool options
  • Untick Save tool options on exit
  • Click Save tool options now
Instead of checking tools one by one, you can also click Reset saved tool options to default values and then update a few settings before hitting Save tool options now.

There is a more up-to-date (Gimp 2.10) version of this here.

  default foreground/background
Posted by: eingram25 - 05-09-2017, 04:33 AM - Forum: General questions - Replies (4)

I guess this is kinda picky, but is the FG/BG tool supposed to open with white foreground?
When I want a new screen, I always have to click the FG/BG tool or go to advanced options in the file new dialog and say open in foregraund color. 
Is there a way to get it to open with black foreground and white background?
I've looked at all the items in edit preferences and can't find it.

  Foreground Select tool
Posted by: JackOats - 05-08-2017, 06:11 PM - Forum: General questions - Replies (18)

Hi All

I seem to be having quite a lot of trouble with the Foreground Select tool.

The 1st stage works alright - I  draw an area around the part I want to select. The Lasso changes to a brush. I paint a line inside the image to select different 

shades of colour. But when I release the mouse button instead of the 'marching ants' selected area I get the following:


   

It seems to work about once in every 20/30 times.

Is it me?

Many thanks.

  Off the cuff multiple-exposure image of A380 taking off
Posted by: Ofnuts - 05-07-2017, 05:28 PM - Forum: Gallery - Replies (1)

While waiting to board my plane the other day (the one at the bottom right) I spotted an A380 ready to take off. So, phone stuck against the window (avoids parasite reflections and stabilizes it) and push "record". Video not too good, but I had fun extracting the frames and making a reverse time lapse (is there a better name for this)? Some intensive use of my ofn-layer-aligner script to make sure all layers were aligned properly before cropping.

   

PS: This isn't a allegory of tonight's French presidential elections...

  .abr brushes
Posted by: eingram25 - 05-07-2017, 11:12 AM - Forum: Extending the GIMP - Replies (7)

Running 2.8.20 under Windows 10
I've gotten a couple of .abr brushes from deviant art.
I've installed them in: C:/users/ED/Gimp-2.8/brushes.
They don't show up after starting Gimp.
Do I need to put them somewhere else?
