[Gimp-user] black canvas extension
I am applying on Zapplication for juried shows for my jewelry . I am a newbie to Gimp but have mastered most thru trial and error. I really need help at this point . Pics must be 1920 x1440. I have resized but they also require the canvas size to be 1920x1920 with black borders. The end result would be that there is black extension borders filling in the shorter sides. All I keep getting is the little squares. I have a deadline for this application and I'm hoping someone could give me some clues on this issue. A BIG Thanks for any suggestions or help :) -- EGoldman (via www.gimpusers.com/forums) ___ gimp-user-list mailing list List address:gimp-user-list@gnome.org List membership: https://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gimp-user-list
[Gimp-user] black canvas extension
You probably already did Image/Canvas Size with width and height equal to 1920, and clicking Center, which produces the litte squares on either side of the original image. The next step is to create a new layer filled with black, and move the new layer below the original layer. Then flatten the image (Image/Flatten Image). I think I answered your question, but my apologies if I'm answering the wrong question!

Thank you so very much for responding. It isn't working for me. I am still looking at my image and the canvas with squares. Should I be opening new layer and if so how do I get it black? I'm so close yet so far ...lol -- EGoldman (via www.gimpusers.com/forums) ___ gimp-user-list mailing list List address:gimp-user-list@gnome.org List membership: https://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gimp-user-list

It doesn't matter what color you make the new layer because you can use the paint bucket to change the color to black. But if you change the Foreground/Background colors to black and white, then you can choose one to be the color of the new layer. ___ gimp-user-list mailing list List address:gimp-user-list@gnome.org List membership: https://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gimp-user-list

Hi,
to get a black layer:
1. Set the foreground color to black by pressing the 'd' key (not
Shift+d, but only the lowercase 'd').
2. Add a new layer: in the layers dialog press the left most button
('New layer') and choose 'Layer fill type: Foreground color'. Instead
of the layers dialog you can also use the Layers menu, item 'New layer...'.
3. In the layers dialog drag the new layer and drop it below the
layer with your original image.
Greetings,
Sven

A solution is to paste the full object to a new layer, add a layer mask, fill the shape with a shaped gradient (which is a function of the distance to the outline) and then use the Brightess/Contrast (2 sliders), Levels (5 sliders), or Curves (256 sliders) to adjust the blend. On a tangent, you just pointed out the biggest flaw with shaped gradients: You can't specify a gradient length. What's the point of even having it without that functionality? I'd get faster (more precise, controllable, etc.) results by brushing the edges by hand. Note that on the script, I could walk around this by performing gaussian-blur + levels on the pasted layer's mask, instead of using gradients. But indeed,you have a point there. I even went to check if the offset parameter of the gradient-tool could give one the control missing for shaped gradients, but it has no effect at all. -- Stratadrake strata_ran...@hotmail.com Numbers may not lie, but neither do they tell the whole truth. ___ gimp-user-list mailing list List address:gimp-user-list@gnome.org List membership: https://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gimp-user-list ___ gimp-user-list mailing list List address:gimp-user-list@gnome.org List membership: https://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gimp-user-list

Re: [Gimp-user] Looking back at 2013
However, this did not solve the problem for those of us who simply want to continue save as to .ping, .jpg, or .whatever we choose. That feature was arbitrarily removed for no good reason. My wish for 2014 is that this feature will be returned.

[Gimp-user] 'Underlying layers''
Hey guys, So i've been wrecking my head all day trying to figure out how where to modify my ''Underlying layers'' for an image I am working on. The overall project/design is for a t-shirt mock-up template. The whole idea is to make it as realistic looking as possible (photorealistic) I found a great tutorial (which unfortunately was made for photoshop... ) I was to follow it and pretty much apply the instruction to Gimp. However, there is part where the ''Underlying layers'' are being tweeked. I'm stuck at this point and hoping someone can point me in the right direction from here. I am able to follow everything up to (4:32) www.layersmagazine.com/designing-a-layers-t-shirt-in-photoshop.html By the way,this is my first post, so if it's not in the correct area of the forum mods please correct me and thanks in advance.
