Hi All,

I am trying to trace around this vette.  I have watched the video on how to many times, I have everything right until I go to the part where you select from path, then Invert, then delete and it should show checked background?  My keeps coming up white???  Could someone let me know what it is that I am not doing right?  I have a cnc wood carving machine and want to make a sign for my neighbors z06 Vette.  I would greatly appreciate any help you can send my way.

Thank you

Do you have a tutorial for this or can someone explain to me how I can move a picture to a distorted view. ie into the shape you want it and then anchor to  another layer
iwarp only shows the active layer and I don't understand Warp

Edit:- Looks like it may be the cage transform...just saw a video about it on YouTube.

AnMal did a nice effect explaining how she did this effect. I have wanted to remember it on this photo.

I'm using GIMP 2.8.18 on Ubuntu 16.04 LTS. I've been using GIMP for years and have never had a glitch. Today, I can't use the select tools. I click on one of the select tools and, instead, I get the move tool. I rebooted my machine. I tried resetting the tools to the default settings. I removed GIMP and reinstalled it but nothing has worked. Any suggestions?

While our friends from GimpChat are waiting for it's return, here's a couple of photos for you to play with.

I have no particular requirements, just see what you are inspired to do with them.

   
   

There is a Gimp 2.8.20 described here

https://git.gnome.org/browse/gimp/plain/NEWS?h=gimp-2-8

and via gimpusers (Alexandre Prokoudine)

"...We expect to ship v2.10 later this year with 16/32-bit per color channel precision, basic OpenEXR support, new and updated tools, UI updates, and many more changes..."

Maybe, providing they get their layer modes sorted.

Hi everybody,

I'm using GIMP 2.8.18 and when I have an image selected and I open the Color/Levels view it does NOT include a histogram.  In my Internet searches there is always a histogram produced.  Is there away to turn this property on?

Your assistance is greatly appreciated.

Hello there,

I use calculations when, for example, I'm feathering a selection (e.g., 1800/3). And that works great.

But I'm wondering is there a variable that gives me the height or width of the image so that I don't have to enter that it's 1800, 5100, etc.  I'd like to be able to put in the feather selection input widget something like - HEIGHT/3 or WIDTH/3 or MAX_DIMENSION/3.  Is this possible?

Are there variables that you can use in the maths in entry widgets?

Many thanks,
Jules

I work in a small retail shop and take a lot of photos that involve "clear" packaging, and scans that have a natural gradient behind or through the product. There is a visual difference in the grays to the eye, but all manner of auto selects fail. Is there a decent way to get a hold of these backgrounds so I can white out or at the least normalize them? My goal is to utilize a "faster" method, because I can't spend too long on any given item. I am aware of limited masking and contrast tricks, but not seeming to find a good solution. Attached is one of the raw images I start with.
