Ask whoever designed the logo to give you the original vector file.

[Gimp-user] Help with GIMP Gif

[pickupthestix16]

Hello All!

This is my first post and I'm a bit familiar with GIMP but am still kind of a
newbie to the program. I particularly got it so that I could create my own
signature for a forum that I participate on regularly.

I recently hit a road block that I can't seem to get around and I'm not sure if
it's possible at all. I wanted to make an animated Gif image and I wanted the
original gif to be transparent. I didn't know any other way to do this, so I
simply separated all 54 frames and edited each photo myself, and then
re-formatted them back into a gif. I then opened as layers each of the frames.

I used the "Lighten Only" effect on the rest of the images on the signature, so
I wanted to keep the gif that way too. This required me to go through each of
the 54 frames and select "Lighten Only". At first, I ran into this problem
http://imgur.com/l5fiKq7. Even though each frame said "replace", it didn't seem
to actually replace the previous frame.

Then I downloaded an animation script called "Animastack". I put [bg] on the
background frame and [fg] on the foreground frame and then "processed animastack
tags" and it grouped together all frames with the foreground and background so I
had 54 separate groups. When I did the "playback" though, it worked! IT FINALLY
WORKED! i was so happy; I had spent so long trying to get it to work.

Then I tried to export the file as a gif and ran into the "indexed or grayscale"
issue. Is there ANY WAY to export this without changing the colors? Anything
other than "gif" that I could export to that would have a similar effect?

Thank you for reading!! I appreciate any feedback/suggestions.

"C:\Program Files\GIMP 2\bin\gimp-2.8.exe" works for me - but it would depend on
where you installed GIMP

When trying this procedure indeed, the ufraw soft is launched but it says

TIFF image error
Unknown field with tag 36867 (0x9003) encountered

So I think it tries to open it as a TIFF image. Eventhough it still
opens the image as thumbnail, very odd.

Hi,

New to Gimp, sorry!
I need to enhance this attached logo for large print. The current quality is

Re: [Gimp-user] Downloaded 2.8.16 & no shortcut was created on desktop. Don't know how to launch?

[Ross Martinek]

You have to locate the actual GIMP application. If I recall my Windows days 
correctly, right clicking or Control-clicking on the application should bring 
up a menu which has a "make shortcut" item, or similarly named. Then just drag 
the shortcut to your desktop.

Same procedure for the GIMP doc.

[Gimp-user] Can't open nef images in gimp 2.9.3

[Alex Vergara Gil]

Hello

One of the greatest things of the new gimp 2.9.3 is the handling of
nef files (raw camera images), they even appear in the file format
list, great! But in my windows 8 x64 bits with Partha's build it just
doesn't open, when trying to do that GIMP says image can't be opened,
but i can open the image even on windows photo software (the one that
is fullscreen) and it is ok. I dont know if this is a bug of GIMP or
something specific to windows so i'll wait until someone else can
duplicate this issue.

Or something specific to the unofficial build that you use on Windows.

Using default GIMP 2.9.3 updated a couple of days ago on Linux, and 
opening a CR2 file, the resulting image is the correct size, and only 
8-bits, so I'm assuming the raw file is being opened by UFRaw, yes?


Opening a NEF file using GIMP, the resulting image is just a 160px by 
120px thumbnail, though the file on disk is 17MB. So NEF doesn't seem to 
be working through the UFRaw plug-in.


I'm using UFRaw version 0.22, compiled with the GIMP plug-in, FWIW, and 
in case the UFRaw version makes a difference.


Some GEGL code suggests that there might be raw file support independent 
of UFRaw (rawload.c). Is this available through GIMP?

Dear Partha

Thank for your reply, and for your daily builds!, I can confirm both ways:
1. open NEF files with automatic detection yiels an error, gimp cant open image
2. selecting nef file in the list yields an image, but only a tiny
little thumbnail, as Elle said before

So this might be a bug, are you handling nef files with some plugin?

Yes Elle, thats a bit different error, but still an error. Is there

The error to which I was actually referring was the fact that when 
opening a NEF file, all I get using default GIMP 2.9.3 on Linux is the 
thumbnail, not the full image.


If you can't open a NEF file using GIMP (on Windows),

and all I get when opening a NEF file using GIMP (on Linux) is a tiny 
little thumbnail,


then it seems to me that these might be related errors. But of course 
they might be two entirely separate errors.

Re: [Gimp-user] Can't open nef images in gimp 2.9.3

[Partha Bagchi]

Hi Alex.

When you select RAW images (with a long list of image formats such as
cr2, nef etc.) from the dropdown list and then click on your NEF, does
it open UFRaw or not? Let me know otherwise and we'll work to get it
fixed for you. You can email me directly or respond there.

Don't rely on the automatic detection since it's a back and forth
between GIMP and UFRaw. NEF is based on the TIFF format and hence the
confusion.

Thanks,
Partha

PS: Another recommendation I would make is to use RawTherapee to
preprocess and then send to GIMP.

Yes, there is only for NEF. If you are using my build then select NEF
image, it should open a 32-bit floating rendition.

Bottom line as I said below, don't use the automatic detection feature.

Unsure if this made it to 0.20+ though. And anyway, there have been no
installers of UFRaw for Windows for a long time (0.19.2 was the last
one, and it was before the aforementiond patch).
