  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

Can GIMP work with Video Files?

  Or would I need to put a video on the timeline of Video Editing Program, in this case KDenlive, extract a frame as PNG image and use that.

I was over on Videomaker.com and read this

Photoshop will Soon Employ an AI Masking Tool

Would we see this employed on GIMP Platform in the near future?

Hi all, 
I've only been using Gimp for a few weeks so I'm a newbie. Smile Anybody has an idea how to make this effect/colouring/look?

Tried to play with Desaturate, Hue-Saturation but I haven't been able to recreate this for some reason. What I’m doing wrong here? 

TIA

  Change transparent color to white

So basically I have a couple images that show up as black rather than white on sites that can't handle transparency, was just wondering if there's any easy way to change that

  Shower-inspired of the day
Posted by: Ofnuts - 11-28-2017, 03:24 PM - Forum: Gallery - Replies (13)

How hard would it be to emulate the tiling in the shower (small tiles all of roughly, but not exactly, the same color)? It turned out it also required a script Smile

Without the script, not bad, but the tiles are uniformly colored (layer with base color, and 40x40 pixellated plasma over it, in "soft light" mode):

   

With a script to shuffle tiles, instead of pixellating the plasma, I blur it and shuffle it:
