No.


Can you provide the relevant features of the image - its size, for example?

[Gimp-user] Unable to open saved psd files

Thank you Michael for your quick reply.  My Gimp is ver. 2.8.20 I think I
have found the answer. When I came to send you a file as requested, it failed
due to the file size being too big. I imported an original file into Gimp and
reduced the size somewhat and then exported to .psd and I could open it in my
other programmes with no problem. It's the very first time I have come across
this. Is it a known fact that large original camera files must be reduced in
size before exporting to .psd - or is this a general thing???

My project was correcting perspective on some building shots that a needed as
large as possible

Thanks again.
Stedders

Describe the goal, not a step.

There is a reason for what you want to do, please tell us.

Tell us about the reasoning that led you to modify this file, and
describe what you want to achieve.

Can you tell us what version of GIMP this was, what you did, and can you
make one of the files you have exported to PSD available for download?

With a small image (credits on the image) plucked from the internet flipping an
image is straightforward

see: http://i.imgur.com/q1NHxFx.jpg

1. Use the flip tool

2. Make sure you are on the active layer with **No** active selection.

3. Need to be on the layer mode and select either Horizontal or vertical

4. Probably the bit you are missing, click on the canvas to implement. 

gives this http://i.imgur.com/sB48eLV.jpg
 
Just a caveat, I use linux so I cannot demo anything 'Mac' However I can do a
little research and the McGimp 2.8.14 from www.partha.com does include many
extras including the liquid-rescale plugin. Worth trying because it also
includes other scripts and plugins such as heal-selection.

In my linux Gimp using liquid rescale might go something like this

http://i.imgur.com/th7NuUv.jpg giving this http://i.imgur.com/qC2Qr3T.jpg

It all depends on the image and the amount of re-sizing. For small-ish amounts,
sometimes possible to re-size the canvas, copy and paste a strip back in and a
bit touching up.

quick try: http://i.imgur.com/8g5qbzz.jpg Again, no hard and fast rules, all
depends on the image/requirements.

[Gimp-user] invert not working

2017-06-22 Thread remadepreacher

Thanks for answering, Rich. I very much realize I have much to learn to use
Gimp. I have used Photoshop a bit, by getting the free trial a couple of times.
Inverts basic meaning, to turn in, is actually very similar to flip, the
movement can be horizontal or vertical, e.g. to invert a series of numbers is to
put them in the opposite order. If there had been any visual difference when I
applied invert, I would have seen I needed something else (why it seems to do
nothing still puzzles me). I do indeed mean to mirror the image. I looked up
flip, saw the next step to take and had success, thanks.

The image I want to extend the background on is complicated — a blacksmith in
front of a large forge. For the image to work, the fire needs to stay the size
it is, while extending everything else. This would enable type to be more easily
read —  around the fire, instead of across it. It looked do-able using LqR.
Thanks for a possible other source. I gathered there is another, more
complicated way to accomplish the feat but LqR appeared pretty simple to use for
this.

[Gimp-user] invert not working

2017-06-22 Thread remadepreacher
New to Gimp. I have 2.8.22. I have two projects. 1. I simply want to invert a
photo. I was given it by a book designer for my book cover. I had no problem
cropping an edge for the spine in Photos and now want to invert it to match the
front cover. I tried selecting all and then 3 different ways to invert. None
have any effect, except to add "remove invert" to edit. I exported the  photo,
just to be sure — not inverted. Next, I tried adding a layer, then invert — no
effect.
2. I wanted to try Liquid rescale to extend a background. As I'm using OS X,
Wikidots says it should be already in my layer menu — it's not.

Closing gimp, opening and trying again for either — no effect.

>invert a photo.

You need to define 'invert' I think of inverting the colours, but you might mean
rotating 180 degrees or 'flipping' ie mirroring the image, all different tools.

>2. I wanted to try Liquid rescale to extend a background. As I'm using
>OS X, Wikidots says it should be already in my layer menu — it's not.

For OSX  (not the best of operating systems for Gimp) it depends on the Gimp
package you installed. Liquid Rescale is normally a separate plugin, that you
might compile/install yourself. I think the OSX version from www.partha.com
might include it.

The are various ways of 'extending' a background. It all depends on the image.
Plain colour background? Very complicated background? Lots of colours? Greyscale
image? You need to give details of the 'photo'

>Closing gimp, opening and trying again for either — no effect.

It is not Gimp, it is user inexperience. Gimp is a complicated application with
a steep learning curve. You are not going to become an expert overnight.

Difficult to give advice at a distance. It could be some other application - AV
etc is the problem. Nothing reported recently on that front.

I would be tempted to go back to square one. Remove everything, including the
Gimp profiles for both Gimp 2.8 and 2.95

Which Gimp 2.9.5 are you using - The Partha version? Install that first. All I
can say is, once installed it starts quickly in a basic  Win7 VM.

[Gimp-user] adjust eyedropper shortcut to Wacom

2017-06-22 Thread Pieterfalun
Hi all

I recently bought a Wacom table (intuous Art) and I wanted to link the
eyedropper function (I mean the function that is normally: CTRL + left mouse) to
one of my Wacom buttons. I just can't find how to do that.

If it turns out not to be possible to link the eyedropper to my Wacom tablet, is
it possible to link it to my keyboard. As I draw with my left hand, I want to
link it to a button on the right hand side of my keyboard (instead of CTRL).

Thanks for the help

Pieter

Using GIMP 2.8.10 on Windows, Python 2.7.1.

Making changes to function _query() seems to have no effect. Changes to other
functions in the module do take effect.

Is _query() called at all?

Also where is _run(proc_name, params) called from? I wish to know where the
params argument is created.

[Gimp-user] Gimp 2.9.5 rechecking files every time when I launch it

2017-06-22 Thread rich2005
>Causing incredible long loading time, 2.8 works fine and launching
>almost immediately

Best guess:

Gimp 2.9.5 will migrate the Gimp 2.8.x resources from the Gimp 2.8 profile to
the Gimp 2.9.5 profile.

The Windows Gimp 2.9.5 profile is well and truly hidden from regular Win users.

Go to C:\Users\your-name\AppData\Roaming\GIMP\2.9\... which has sub-folders for
resources + Gimp configuration files. see: example attachment, brushes migrated
from Gimp 2.8

Probably some plugins / scripts / fonts in there that do not agree with Gimp
2.9.5

Start with a clean sheet.

1. Delete the Gimp 2.9.5 profile folder
C:\Users\your-name\AppData\Roaming\GIMP\2.9\

2. Temporarily rename your Gimp 2.8 profile C:\Users\your-name\.gimp-2.8 to
disable it and prevent migration. say C:\Users\your-name\.gimp-2.8-bak

3. Start Gimp 2.9.5 to create a new basic Gimp profile.

4. Rename your 2.8 profile back to original name.

Does it make any difference?
