 Hi,
 i need some help to find the correct effect.
 I have an image on top layer and a background gradient on bottom layer, i
 would like to shade the image (smaller than background) to the background to
 melt image into background without a clear edge.
 Is this possible? How?
 Many thanks guys :)

[Gimp-user] GIMP won't load LARGE TIF file

2010-03-07 Thread lkraemer
I had some plans scanned at Zephyr Printing.  They scanned
the Large drawings at 600DPI, 1 Bit Black, and saved the files.  The pixel
sizes of the drawings are 21600 x 33184.
The files also have the Fax Group 4 designation.

I can't load these drawings into Gimp 2.6, or view them with
any Ubuntu Software.  I have used Irfanview to view them,
so at least I can rename each file according to what is
located inside the file.

Has anyone had trouble using with such a large sized file?

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks.

Can you upload somewhere such a file?
Which operating system do you use?
Which exact Gimp version do you use?
Are there any warnings or errors?

Regards,
Tobias

IIRC GIMP uses 5 bytes minimum per canvas pixel: 1 selection + 4 RGBA
projection. So 21600 * 33184 * 5 = 3583872000, over 3GB just to show
the image.

This is without counting the real pixel data, I do not rememember
which happens with paletized or grey images, they could use 1 byte per
pixel of the single layer or require expansion to 3-4, so the real
number could be 5GB (if someone uses this formula for other images,
in multilayer case, add the pixels each one use, obviously).

Which means you need a 64 bit computer and OS, a lot of memory and a
really fast memory bus... and based in comments of a person than
regularly works with 1 pixel images, a lot of patience too (6
patiences, as your case is 6 times bigger). Maybe GIMP is not the
tool you need.

[Gimp-user] getting text into a gimp photo?

2010-03-07 Thread Helen
I have a document in OO (a poem), and I'd like to get it into a gimp
picture.

I can't think of any way to do that.  I can take a screen shot but the
document
is longer than will fit on a screen (it's about a screen and a half) and I
want it to
look like it's part of the picture (background is the picture of an open,
blank book).

I could retype it into a Gimp layer, but, aside from the time involved, Gimp
doesn't have the typeface I want.

Any other ways I might get this text to look as though it's a page in a
book?
