Hello my fellows,
I don't know if this is the right place to ask this kind of question. If it isn't, I apologize, but I'm feeling extremely stupid and I really need your help: I produced an image about 30 days ago and now I can't repeat the steps to get the same effect. Both images, the source image (DM Logo Work) and the final result (DM Logo - Edge_3), are attached.
The only clue I have is that I used neon and sobel edge detection types, and maybe color curve, color equalization and color desaturation on the attached logo. Unfortunately, I can't remember anything else. My initial intention was to get a Sketch effect, but I ended up accidentally getting this effect, which I really liked, but unfortunately I don't know how to reproduce it. Five days today trying various alternatives with no success.
I'm sorry to bother you with this stupid question, but at 70 years old my reasoning ability is decreasing and my anxiety is increasing tremendously. Be patient with me, please.
For some time now, when downloading images from the web, I have come across images of the .jtif and .avif types.
For me, these are new formats; I don't remember having seen them before.
Fortunately, GIMP had no problems opening them and allowing me to edit/use these images.
Do these types of .jtif and .avif images have any advantages over those we already use routinely, such as .png, .jpeg, .gif, .tif, etc.?
Is there any place/entity that provides this type of information in layman's terms?
I'm planning to massively troll scammers, and part of my thing will be having a wallpaper of the Global Map with the countries filled in each with their own image (bacon for Canada, NY Fries for the United States, etc). I know how to do the masking. I just need the Global Map with individually selectable countries. If desirable, I can post the finished product, so you can enjoy it.
I'm trying to scale a piece of text. I've created it, found out it's not quite the size I want, and used the Scale tool to change it.
To begin with, I clicked the Text button, typed out a piece of text, then clicked Alpha to Selection, then used the Move tool, then clicked Alpha to Selection again to reselect, then used the Scale tool. When I finish scaling, a ghost image of the text's original position remains, and will not go away - I have to delete the layer to get rid of it every time (and by the way, it's still there on export too).
I am a GIMP newbie after 20+ years of PaintShop Pro. I am using GIMP 2.10.38 on Windows 11. I did the default GIMP installation without any changes.
I am following a YouTube GIMP how-to for fixing too dark pics with the following sequence: Colors > Exposure > Presets. The YouTube how-to shows a list presets, but when I click on Presets, there are no presets to choose from. In PSP, I would get a list of installed presets to choose from and then an option to save my own.
Where are the presets?
Did I not install them using the default installation?
I've recently installed GIMP 2.10 onto a new laptop, as well as the device driver for my Wacom graphics tablet.
By default, GIMP treated input from my mouse and my tablet separately. After changing the settings as per some instructions online, it was working... well, not perfectly, but well enough for my purposes. Transitioning between tablet and mouse isn't seamless like it was on my old laptop.
I've launched GIMP today and while I can select tools using my tablet, I can't actually do anything with those tool unless I switch to my mouse. I need to be able to draw freely, so this isn't ideal.
I hadn't changed my input settings, so I'm not sure what the problem is. In Preferences > Input Devices, I'm set to share tool and tool options between input devices; then, all of my input devices in Configure Input Devices is set to Screen mode.
I'm experiencing some issues with the GIMP interface, specifically related to the size of certain icons and the font selection window. Despite adjusting the themes and icon size settings, some icons remain very small and difficult to see. The most problematic area is when I try to change the font; the font selection window appears too small, making it impossible to fully view the names of the fonts.
Has anyone else encountered this issue? If so, are there any solutions or workarounds that you could recommend? Any help would be greatly appreciated!
