I saw this in this book called mastering filters for photography. I am guessing it is from photoshop. Here is the image below.
I am curious if gimp has anything like this or ufraw does maybe? I tried looking for it but wasn't able to find it as why I am asking here in this forum.

Hi there,

I'm a little struggling with layer boundaries in gimp.
Maybe it's because I'm more used to photoshop...

If I move a layer, the layer boundary does not contain the whole canvas any more. This seems very odd to me, because I can't fill or draw at the whole canvas anymore. First, I have to resize the boundary manually.

Is there a way to resize the layer boundary automatically after moving the layer? Basically I want the layer boundary allways fit at least the canvas... is this possible?

I'm using gimp 2.8 on windows

Thanks,
Micha

How to make shapes appear without  angle tilt  and without  overlap ?

Hello,

I have been designing for not long time and I still feel that I don't connect some dots properly.

I am mainly interested in knowing how to make final design file print compatible.
I want to make sure it will 300 DPI and be in high resolution to be printable.

Here's my workflow:

1. I download free clipart/vector and immediately open it in GIMP
2. I do adjustments, add other elements from other files, add text
3. Before finishing and exporting graphic I set print size to 300 DPI in "Image" > "Print Size"
4. I flatten everything and export into .PNG ready to print

- Do you see any mistake in this process that would make final design not print-ready?
I am concerned about opening .JPG/.PNG graphic elements. Must they be 300 DPI before I even start working with them?

- Does it matter when I set "Print Size" to 300 DPI? Must it be done in the beginning or as long as it's done before
exporting project to final design, it does not matter?

- I often would create new page where I would modify graphic elements and I would not set DPI before I do that.
Is it bad?

Thanks!

I get half picture, look at example, when i try printing from Gimp 2.9.6 on windows 10. Anyone who has an idea what to do?

   

I have often yellow selection appearing that I want to get rid of because I can't seem to work outside of that selection. So far it appeared when I pasted new later and had to anchor it. The selection still stayed there after anchoring. Another time it appeared was when I resized canvas. New canvas was alpha color and I could not paint it white because I could not work outside of that selection. This is a selection that I am talking about:

   

Why do I need this selection and how to deselect it?

Thanks.

Hello,


I created the image below in Gimp:




What I did was I typed out "nuclear powered engine" and then selected the text and stroked it with red.

Now I'm wondering if it's possible to make this into a customized font--that is, a yellow font that is automatically stroked in red (1 pixel thick). Is this possible?


Thanks.

I am not familiar with script-fu and I really have the urgent need for a script that converts a PDF to a PNG without the anti-aliasing. (raw). I want to do this with the Gimp because of the perfect result but till this moment I am not able to write a script that does also set the anti-aliasing off. 

Please can somebody help me??? 

Thanks in advance!!!

Hello,

I want to learn how to turn raster image into black and white with outline like this raster:

   

Into styles like these, while giving preference to first figure because it is more detailed:

   

Must vectorization be as part of the entire process or it can be done without conversion to vector?

Thanks.
