[Gimp-user] Creating a 16:9 anamorphic image in Gimp
Dear Friends, Hello, this is my post on Gimp user mailing list. I have been using Gimp for several years, without the need to post a help message. Why ? Probably because Gimp is so EASY to learn. Never say never, here is my first question related to video: I would like to creata PAL 16:9 anamorphic title in Gimp. What resolution and settings should I choose? My display is an LCD monitor. I did not find how to set up PAL 16:9 anamorphic resolution in Gimp. Any idea? Kind regards, Jean-Michel Debian SID ___ Gimp-user mailing list Gimp-user@lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU https://lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU/mailman/listinfo/gimp-user

Most wide screen laptops use 16:10. For example, my desktop monitor is 1920x1200, which is 16:10 format. Normal 16:9 format for HDTV is 1920x1080.

Re: [Gimp-user] Creating a 16:9 anamorphic image in Gimp
I just always create a 1024x576 image and then scale to 720x576 when I export for video. Sounds good. But Kdenlive will probably soon support XCF files directly. What if I open and have to export. I would prefer an automatic solution. You can create a 720x576 image and set the X and Y resolutions to 9 and 16 and then disable dot for dot in the view menu. However GIMP only transforms the view, so that round brushes for example will look like they are squashed, since they are drawn on the 5:4 image. Okay. Thanks. My idea was: * PAL resolution is 520x576: 1.25 ratio * 4:3 resolution: 1.33 ratio * 16:9 resolution: 1.78 ratio In Gimp, I create a 16:9 PAL image, with the following custom settings: X = 520 pixels Y = 576 x 1.25 / 1.78 = 404 pixels X dpi = 72 dpi Y dpi = 72 x 1.78 / 1.25 = 102 dpi It works quite well for large text, but not for small images, which are very slightly distored in Kdenlive. Any suitable alternative settings? Kind regards, Jean-Michel ___ Gimp-user mailing list Gimp-user@lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU https://lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU/mailman/listinfo/gimp-user

[Gimp-user] reverse loop question
I've created an animated gif which I want to perform what I think is a reverse loop. In explanation, I'll use a three-layer example. I want the animation to proceed from frame 1 to frame 2 to frame 3, then back to frame 2 to frame 1 and repeat. An analogy would be a ball continually rolling between two hills. I see only the loop forever option when saving the gif. I've gotten around that problem by saving as layers frame 1, frame 2, frame 3, frame 2, and frame 1. Savings those frames with the loop forever option does what I want but is a larger file than I think necessary. I've done some research and see the reverse loop option with gimp-gap. I compiled gimp-gap and used frames 1-3 only once. I used the move path option and tried reverse loop and reverse frame loop. However, neither option seems to take. It loops only, no reverse. Animated gifs and The Gimp are quite new to me. Can the gimp-gap reverse loop do what I want with just three frames? ___ Gimp-user mailing list Gimp-user@lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU https://lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU/mailman/listinfo/gimp-user
[Gimp-user] reverse loop question
Yes, I basically want Gimp-Gap ping-pong. I was unclear in that three frames was only an example. My animation uses 17 frames. I use the replace option and pause 1 second between frames. Both are fine for my animation but I want ping-pong. If I understand your post correctly, the simple answer is that it can't be done with Gimp-Gap. If that's correct, what does the reverse loop option do? ___ Gimp-user mailing list Gimp-user@lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU https://lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU/mailman/listinfo/gimp-user

One of the options in the Step mode drop-down box of the Move Path dialog is Ping Pong. It does exactly what you want. The reverse loop option plays an animation sequence in reverse and loops over the sequence repeatedly. -- Scott ___ Gimp-user mailing list Gimp-user@lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU https://lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU/mailman/listinfo/gimp-user

Thank you, now I see what you mean. I thought you were using ping-pong descriptively. I didn't realize it's an option. ___ Gimp-user mailing list Gimp-user@lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU https://lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU/mailman/listinfo/gimp-user

Re: [Gimp-user] Re: Running script-fu-round-corners from gimp command line
I think it is just a matter of you having to flatten the image before calling 'script-fu-round-corners' (which does not accept images with an alpha channel).
