Re: [Gimp-user] Select Feather - OR - Select Invert Feather
Hi Elwin, gimpusers: I can't comment for sure on the effect you describe, I think there might be a slight difference. The method I use for feathering selections, I think, offers a bit more control, plus allows one to have increased feathering where indicated. What you do is to make your selection, then turn on quickmask, and then use gaussian blur on the quickmask, one or more times (and perhaps with different settings to sort of smooth things out). This allows one to actually see how much feather you are gonna get before you actually make use of the selection. Once you have a properly blurred quickmask, then you just convert it back to a selection and do whatever you want with it. I've been playing around with your method of making a selection, and I'm afraid I have a newbie question. How do you blur the QuickMask? I use the QuickMask all the time for making a selection with a fuzzy brush. Do you simply activate the QuickMask and then Filters Blur Gaussian Blur? But doesn't this Blur the entire image - selected and not selected? Thanks so much. -- __ DJ ___ Gimp-user mailing list Gimp-user@lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU https://lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU/mailman/listinfo/gimp-user
Re: [Gimp-user] Picking Gray Point in a Photograph and recalling pixel points
Hi laptop, gimpusers, I was following this tutorial. http://digital-photography-school.com/precise-color-cast-correction-with-gray-fill-layers I added a 50% Gray Layer (7f7f7f), Mode: Difference. I picked a point that was black, referencing the Pointer Dialog, and jotted down the x/y coordinate found in the lower left-hand corner or Pointer Dialog. I brought up the Levels Dialog and clicked the middle eye dropper for picking the gray point, and carefully relocated that same x/y coordinate. My question, is there another way to remember or set the gray point, or remember any point for future reference/recall? Have a look at Sample points dialogue. Norman This looks like it might be it :-) First, I was able to select a sample point per the instructions in the documentation (drag a ruler w/the ctrl key down), but the Sample Points Dialog did not come up. The documentation said it might not, and that you had to open it separately. 1) Does anyone know why adding a sample point might not open the Sample Points Dialog automatically? Second, with the sample point selected, I opened the Levels Tool. I want to use this sample point as the gray point. In the Levels Tool, I clicked the Pick gray point eyedropper, and then went to click on the sample points, but the only thing that happened was the cursor changed from an eyedropper to an eyedropper+move_symbol, which means, according to the status message at the bottom of Gimp, I can move the point, but I can't seem to use it. 2) Now that I have a sample point (the gray point), how do I use it in the Levels Dialog? Thank you. -- __ DJ ___ Gimp-user mailing list Gimp-user@lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU https://lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU/mailman/listinfo/gimp-user
[Gimp-user] Setting Keyboard Shortcut for Windows Dockable Dialogs?
Hi Gimp-user, I went to Edit Keyboard Shortcuts and clicked on Disabled next to Dialogs. The text changed to New accelerator I tried a couple of combinations and each time the text would change back to Disabled. It would be nice if the user could click on the title Shortcut and all the items in the list would expand and sort by accelerator key. I'm assuming Gimp will let the user know if a key combination is already used ;-) Thank you. -- __ DJ ___ Gimp-user mailing list Gimp-user@lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU https://lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU/mailman/listinfo/gimp-user

This is normal: shortcuts can only be associated with menu items, not submenus.
