[Gimp-user] Re: Removing unwanted objects in photos

Where can I go to find information to remove unwanted objects from pictures. Hope someone can help. Thanks. Hi Dan, There are several techniques to remove objects, mostly depending of the amount of work required and the quality desired. 1- The clone tool. It give some very good results, but requires some experience. An example (in French, sorry) can be seen at http://jlhamel.club.fr/GIMP2/index.html#Retouche (scroll down a little until you reach a section called: Elimination de détails génants au moyen de l'outil clone and you will see a traffic sign erased just with the clone tool). 2- The resynthesizer plugin. I never used it for object removal, but all I know is it requires some CPU power. However, it can do really extraordinary things: http://www.logarithmic.net/pfh/resynthesizer Some articles and blogs about it: http://software.newsforge.com/article.pl?sid=06/03/15/1722200 http://www.rfc1149.net/blog/2005/10/28/the-resynthesizer-miracle/ http://slacy.com/blog/index.php/2005/04/22/cool-image-processing/ A tutorial http://www.schwarzvogel.de/resynth-tut-en.shtml A page from the old website to demonstrate the object removal with a little details: http://www.csse.monash.edu.au/~pfh/resynthesizer/features.html 3- From small stuff, this thing may work: http://www.geocities.com/lode_leroy/gimp/ Well, choose what suits you best ... :) Best regards, Olivier. ___ Gimp-user mailing list Gimp-user@lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU https://lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU/mailman/listinfo/gimp-user
[Gimp-user] Re: Font size
Paul Bloch wrote: So I've noticed that although there are different palettes for when you're placing text (text field, font selector) I can't find anyway to edit the size of the text! The help file also doesn't even seem to mention any real methods for altering your text except in the text field. Can someone give me a hint? This is total newbie stuff but I'm a seasoned photoshop user and this is starting to feel a bit ridiculous. Hi Paul, The fact that you are a seasoned Photoshop user does not make you less a newbie with Gimp, so there is no shame to have not to find the way to do this. To change the font size of an existing text: 1- select you text layer in the layer, channels ... dock (*). the Gimp text editor will pop up. 2- double clic the text tool in the toolbox, the text tool options dialogue should appear (usually, in the main dock, under the toolbox). 3- change the numeric value in the Size field, the text will change in the image. I hope this help. Often, the obvious way for one software is not the one for another. By the way, I is often a good idea to give your software version when asking for help (not only for gimp). The platform may also be an important info. Best regards, Olivier (*) we call this a dock, not a palette. A palette is a collection of colour (or a wooden piece with a hole for the thumb, on top of which (the piece, not the thumb) you put some paint). I guess the use of palette for a dialogue is a very bad wording in the context of an image processing/editing software. ___ Gimp-user mailing list Gimp-user@lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU https://lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU/mailman/listinfo/gimp-user
[Gimp-user] Startup layout
When Gimp starts, it displays the main menu panel and the Layers, Channels, ... panel. Is there anyway that I can get it to automatically display the File-Layer-Colors menu also? I can pin it to the desktop for a session, but it'd be a lot less tedious if I didn't have to do that every time I started Gimp.

[Gimp-user] How to animate a transition effect?
Can I do this in Gimp: I have a simple transition effect in mind for a presentation. There are four images, portraits of four different people. I'll be talking about each one in turn. I'd like to have a transition that starts with the four images in a line, then the one being discussed zooms larger and the others zoom smaller. Obviously, the final image of the transition has to freeze indefinitely--looping or going back to the start would not be helpful ;-) Seems simple enough, I could do the end points with Gimp in 5', but to make all the intermediates to get a smooth transition is not happening. Besides, an animated GIF in OOo or PPT seems to simply loop, which is no good. Any suggestions? Pointers to something helpful?

There's a tutorial that jimmac did at http://www.gimp.org/tutorials/Advanced_Animations/ - in particular, the Move path tool is particularly useful for the scale move type operations you'd like to do.
