  Cylinder
Posted by: rita - 12-13-2024, 12:18 PM - Forum: General questions - Replies (3)

Hello,
When I use a map on a cylinder object, the image stretches or expands (even though I didn't scale it). How can I avoid this?

Additionally, I adjusted the layer to match the image size so the entire image would be visible.(Layer-> layer to image size)

  Help With Making a Splash Effect
Posted by: Tygra - 12-13-2024, 11:46 AM - Forum: General questions - Replies (14)

Hi there,

I am working on the following image.

I am trying to make a water splash effect around the tiger. To do this I am using the turbulent water image that is also attached. What I have done is I have used the clone tool using a water splash brush on the turbulent water image, and then brushed around the tiger to create the water splash effect. But it doesn't look that realistic. It's better than when I first started but it doesn't go with the image. Hence, I am wondering if someone could help me make this splash effect look realistic?

Many thanks in advance.

PS: I can't upload the xcf because it says the file is too large. So, I am not sure what I can do.

this image seems to me to have more punch than the original photo; the height and width of voltage are clearly visible  Wink!

  Krita 'float' selection
Posted by: Zero01 - 12-12-2024, 07:39 PM - Forum: Other graphics software - Replies (5)

Does anyone know if Krita has a feature akin to GIMP's float selection, or should that be selection float... 
Anyway you know what I mean Big Grin 
Even if there is, as I'm using Krita on my Android phone, it might be the case that I cannot use it anyway as this version of Krita is optimized for tablets.

  Gimp 3.0 rc1 is landed in Debian SID, but alone.
Posted by: vitforlinux - 12-12-2024, 02:47 PM - Forum: Gimp 2.99 & Gimp 3.0 - No Replies

[Image: gimp-3.0-rc1-debian-sid.jpg]

gimp-plugin-registry is not updated and not works, G'MIC is old release.

Only gimp-data-extras works, but are brushes, patterns and gradients.

Let's give Debian time... Debian 13 isn't even scheduled for release.

  Map to object (cylinder)
Posted by: rita - 12-12-2024, 01:16 PM - Forum: General questions - Replies (1)

Hello,
I tried applying an image using the "Map to Object" tool with a cylinder, but I encountered two issues:
1- Border Shape: Can I change the shape of the border? For instance, if the arc of the upper border curves upwards, how can I make it curve downwards without using the curve bend tool?
   
2-Image Scaling: When I scale the image larger than the mug using only the "Map to Object" tool, it ends up sitting above the mug instead of curving inward as intended.
           
I want the result to look like this example:
     
Here's the original image for reference:

  Gimp 3 Wrappers for Python Plug-ins
Posted by: Tas_mania - 12-12-2024, 09:04 AM - Forum: Gimp 2.99 & Gimp 3.0 - Replies (1)

I found this some time ago and just re-found it
It's a GitHub project that 'provides a simplified interface to call procedures and plug-ins from the GIMP procedural database (PDB) - the same style used in Python plug-ins for GIMP 2.10 and lower:

Ofnuts could be interested in the way this works.

  Display of Multipage PDF Layers
Posted by: Im_trying - 12-12-2024, 04:37 AM - Forum: General questions - Replies (4)

Hello All,

I'm a fairly new user of GIMP, running v2.10.38 on Windows 10 64-bit. I'm trying to solve an export probllem that might be related to the following behavior:

I import a multipage PDF and each page appears as a layer. In the main editing window the last page of the PDF is displayed. Even if I select another layer (page) in the Layers Dock, the last page is still displayed. The only way to display anything other than the last  page is to start turning layers off. If it's a 5-page PDF, I make layer 5 invisible and layer 4 (page 4) is displayed. Again, selecting layers 3 or 2 or 1 doesn't change the main window display, it stays at layer 4 (page 4).

I searched the forum, didn't find anything. I skimmed through the online manual 16 - 7 The "Layers" Menu and didn't see anything relevant. I looked through Edit > Preferences and didn't see anything relevant.

I'd think that logically the selected layer (page) would be displayed in the main window, but it's not. Is this normal behavior for GIMP? If it's not, any ideas for fixing it?

  24H2 update and gimp
Posted by: federico - 12-11-2024, 05:23 PM - Forum: General questions - Replies (1)

Ever since the  win 11 24h2 update gimp 2.10.38 freezes the computer after I use the Foreground Select. I can make the selection and do Enter but when I click Select on the FG popup the computer freezes. The few times it hasn't frozen when I click Select it actually unselects.
Is it the update or what else could be going on?

  gimp curve bend
Posted by: rita - 12-11-2024, 12:45 PM - Forum: General questions - Replies (11)

Hello everyone,

I’m new to GIMP and currently learning how to use the Curve Bend feature.
I’m working on an image of a mug and trying to apply a logo or other designs onto it. However, sometimes the curve is applied successfully, and other times it isn’t, and I’m not sure why.
Could the issue be related to the angle of rotation I’m using? Or perhaps the shape of the curve itself? Or is there another problem with my process?

Here are the steps I’m following:
1-Load the mug image
2-Open the logo/image as a new layer.
3-Scale the logo/image if necessary.
4-Filters->Distorts->Curve bend .
5-Change the layer mode to Multiply.
6-Merge the layers

Here are 2 examples where the result failed and 1 example where it worked:
