  XPM support for Mac?
Posted by: jdc3 - 11-02-2017, 02:06 PM - Forum: General questions - Replies (4)

Hello,

Looks like this may be related to missing native X11 support but does anyone know if there is a plugin that allows images to be saved as xpm files in MacOS Sierra? 

Thanks.

  Stylus button shortcut opening menu box (Help)
Posted by: Vail - 11-02-2017, 01:09 AM - Forum: General questions - Replies (3)

Hello, so I'm going to try and describe what is happening as best as I can. 

I have a Huion 190GT Tablet and I've been using Gimp for quite a few years for art. I have the latest version and latest drivers for my tablet supplied by on Huion's website. 
I shortcut my Undo command (Ctrl Z) to one of the buttons on my Stylus Pen's buttons which has always worked fine. However yesterday it started popping up a menu box instead displaying options (File, edit, select, view etc etc) However if I hover the cursor over the toolbox or layers it will complete the command without popping up the menu box. This has made my work extremely slow and frustrating because I am not used to having to move my cursor off the canvas to undo, and I undo a lot. Does anyone know how I can fix it so that it does not pop up this menu anymore? 

Thanks.

  Enhancing faded receipts
Posted by: toronto070 - 11-01-2017, 08:41 PM - Forum: General questions - Replies (4)

Hi, 

I'm a new GIMP user, and installed it as a recommended "auto fix" for photos, so not necessarily going to be the best at leveraging manual adjustment features.  I've seen videos where a paid software is used to adjust the levels with great success in enhancing faded receipts.  I've played around with this a little bit in GIMP, but have no idea what I'm doing - any help or advice? 

Thanks!

  Transparency Problems
Posted by: jay - 11-01-2017, 07:33 PM - Forum: General questions - Replies (5)

I use gimp primarily for editing textures for game models, and I've been having problems exporting with a transparent background, no matter what i do the background always comes out either black or white. I've followed a bunch of tutorials around the alpha channels and exporting with a transparent background and nothing seems to work. The background shows up in all image viewers I've tried and in vtfedit, the program I need to get the images to work in the source engine.

For my purposes I need everything but a small part of the image file to be completely transparent otherwise you get the problem I've been having where half the model goes either black or white. Any chance someone can tell me exactly how they successfully create images with fully transparent backgrounds? Failing at this has eaten up far to much of my time now, so any help would be much appreciated. Running gimp GIMP 2.8.18 in case that's in any way relevant.

  Can not find Liquid rescale
Posted by: Kevdavey - 11-01-2017, 07:43 AM - Forum: OSX - Replies (9)

Hi everyone,

I started using GIMP a few weeks ago and I'm loving it. I was looking to change an image size and not have it distort. I found that other versions have a liquid rescale tool and my version does not. I was trying to find a way to install the plug in but the main download website says that I should already have it being an OS X user. I am using version 2.8.22. 

I hope someone can help. Big Grin

  Error compiling GIMP on Ubuntu 17.10
Posted by: crazyBaboon - 10-31-2017, 11:33 PM - Forum: Linux and other Unixen - Replies (1)

Hi folks!

I am following this tutorial using Ubuntu 17.10: https://ninedegreesbelow.com/photography...tists.html. When I try to compile GIMP using the following code:

    cd $SRC_DIR/gimp
    ./autogen.sh --prefix=$PREFIX --with-gimpdir=$HOME/code/gimpdefault/install/config --disable-gtk-doc


I get the following error:

    WARNING: GCC 7.2.0 has a serious bug affecting GEGL/GIMP. We advise
             against using this version of the compiler (previous and
             further versions are fine).
             See https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=787222

    Error: GIMP configuration failed.

      - Error: missing dependency libmypaint >= 1.3.0

    See the file 'INSTALL' for more help.

    Configure failed or did not finish!

Any idea what to do solve this problem?

ps: I have used "export GIO_EXTRA_MODULES=/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/gio/modules" since this is a Ubuntu (debian-based) system. I have also installed libmypaint by doing:

    cd $SRC_DIR/libmypaint
    ./autogen.sh --prefix=$PREFIX
    ./configure --prefix=$PREFIX
    make -j3 && make -j3 install

  gimp does something odd on startup
Posted by: gimpysparrow - 10-31-2017, 09:16 PM - Forum: Windows - Replies (6)

Whenever I start my laptop, within a couple minutes gimp automatically starts (not my choice) and loads an image of the HP logo.
Why?

  Strange GUI behaviour.
Posted by: Zero01 - 10-31-2017, 06:51 PM - Forum: General questions - Replies (4)

   

[GIMP 2.8.22]
This happened a month or two ago, just came across the screenshot again.
I had a multiple layered image open and was possibly running a script on all layers. Seem to remember it was affecting my computer as a whole (slow, or non-responsive at times).
Anyway just though I'd post to see if anyone has had anything like this happen to them?

  Any plugin for open multiple image in paint.net
Posted by: shinprog - 10-31-2017, 10:01 AM - Forum: Extending the GIMP - Replies (1)

original thread : http://gimpforums.com/thread-any-plugin-...-paint-net
it is a copy Smile


Hello,
I'm new in this forum !
I'm a french fan-translator and I translate mangas .

I like paint.net but there is not cool stable alternative in ubuntu.
If I open multiple images,gimp opens these images in different window,but in paint.net,there is just one window and you can select your image.
It's a problem if I want to edit 25 pictures...
[Image: 1509443693.png]

Is there a way or a plugin to do the same thing in gimp?

thanks !

  How to make pressed text effect

I love this effect and want to use it for a logo on my photos but this tutorial is so poorly done I can't follow. Is there a better one somewhere? Thanks.
