[Gimp-user] Change the UI size?

[whitneyland]

What would it take to be able to improve font readability in the UI?  The image
url below gives a few examples of what's possible.  Please understand, for many
people Gimp would only start to be usable with the large option shown.

Wow, that simple?

I'm a little embarrassed, but thank you very much for your time. I'll try this
out tonight.

Thank you but I've never used GIMP. Is there a tutorial or a walk-through of
sorts showing how to do this?

There are a few ways you can do this. Your preferred size 16"x20" fits in quite
well with US letter 8.5"x11" - gives 4 images with some margins.

Make a new canvas 16"x20" @ 100 ppi This is assuming that you do not need high
quality for your crib sheet.

Use Image -> Guides -> New Guide (by percent) one Vertical 50% and repeat for
one horizontal at 50%

That should get something like this without the gray patch which is equivalent
to a sheet of US Paper. screenshot: http://i.imgur.com/yThs1Hg.jpg

Example gimp .xcf attached Using 20x16?You will need to rotate it 90 deg.

Open your photo as a new layer: File -> Open As Layers 

Scale it up or down to fit: Layer -> Scale Layer  screenshot:
http://i.imgur.com/sJhL0su.jpg

Once happy with the scaling use: Image -> Transform -> Guillotine This creates 4
new images cut along the guides. screenshot: http://i.imgur.com/JIHTIqh.jpg

Printing in Windows from Gimp is often fraught with problems. This was linux
which has a better interface. My advice export your 4 images (png or jpg) then
open in some other application and print from there.

Well, the tutorial is;

1. File menu -> Open Image

2. Filters menu -> click on Enhance -> click on Sharpen

3. Move the Sharpness slider in the Sharpen dialogue to a suitable value. (maybe
60 for your image)

4. Click on ok.

5. File menu -> click on Export 

Use new name to preserve the existing file in case you ever need it again.

As a beginner why not use the Gimp documents, for example:

https://docs.gimp.org/en/plug-in-sharpen.html

Gimp comes with tools for sharpening images. Look in Filters -> Enhance ->
sharpen (and unsharp mask)

For that little image try a plain, sharpen with a value of about 60

[Gimp-user] image channel question

[Otro]

I would appreciate some advice on how to solve a channels problem. Each time I
open a new image and then open the channels dialog window it shows three layers;
red, blue and green, all in B How do I return to the base layer in color so I
can duplicate layers. This now happens with every image I open. And any idea
what I did to create this problem.
Thanks

You can add directories to the file chooser:

Go to the parent of the directory you would like to add to the file chooser.

Select the directory.

Right click on the left pane and select add.

There is an edit option so you can change the name that is displayed.

[Gimp-user] Watercolor with Gimp

Found that the "Smoke" brush used with varied opacity (usually very
low) and as a smudge tool does pretty decent watercolor effects.
