"7z" is a compression program like Win Zip.
Google "7z" to get a free copy so you can access the theme files mentioned 
by Alexandre, below.

There you are. At 2736 x 1824 resolution you _will_ run into problems with 
GIMP.


A partial solution is to install a new theme from
https://bitbucket.org/paynekj/paynekj-gimp-scripts/src/2e8e87faf5eaaf6036e0d8b68ff9f6f37a3f0421/themes/?at=default.
Either Color-32.7z or Color-48.7z should do.

[Gimp-user] Self-Made Animated Brushes (.gih)

2016-11-09 Thread BlazingFirebug
Hello all of you beautiful people! I have been searching all day for the
information I need, but I can't find it. I have made some leaf silhouettes that
I want to use in a couple different ways as animated brushes (image pipes) in
gimp. I watched tutorials about how to save the brushes correctly. I know I have
to set ranks to the number of layers, as well as the cell count. Far as I can
tell, I've been doing it correctly. I got 3 of my brushes to work and gimp seems
to like them. However, any others I try to make and put into gimp just causes
gimp to crash. I take them out, and gimp works just fine. I'm so frustrated! I
just want to make some autumn art with a specific effect that I can only achieve
a certain way! :( I hope someone out there can help me here.

Thanks for your time and efforts!

[Gimp-user] Glitch: display is too small

2016-11-09 Thread Mikari
I've been trying to fix this for a while now, Gimp displays everything too
small. I've tried switching the theme in the preferences, changing the
resolution, magnifying the display and reinstalling, but nothing works. I'm
using a Surface Pro 4. When I move the mouse over a Gimp window it gets smaller
too, but it's normal if it's on the desktop area, even with Gimp open. The
program works fine on my Asus but I can't use it on the SP4 with such a tiny
size for the tool and mouse.

Re: [Gimp-user] to much shine!!!

2016-11-09 Thread Ofnuts
This is fine for landscape photography (even if using the camera in 
"raw" mode makes that somewhat less useful than it used to be), but here 
we are talking about taking picture of moving subjects

Re: what "Steve Kinney ad...@pilobilus.net" said:

"In some instances it is possible to take multiple photos at different
exposures, and combine them so that the over- and underexposed parts are
discarded, leaving one natural looking image. "

This technique is exposure-blending or tone-blending (not sure of the exact 
term,
or the difference between the two named terms).

In the future, if your camera has "exposure bracketing", I would use it.
What this does is take (usually 3) exposures, one at what it thinks is the 
correct exposure,
one with less exposure, and one with more exposure.,  Normally, one can tell 
the camera
how much less/more to go, within certain limits - Mine, for example will go up to one 
"stop"
below/above the "correct" exposure.

This is good for (at least) 2 reasons:
For one thing, your camera might not get the exposure right, and  one of the 
other two might
be just what you want.
Secondly, with three exposures, one can do the exposure-blending (?) method 
that I described
in answer to another question recently:
https://mail.gnome.org/archives/gimp-user-list/2016-November/msg0.html

Basically, you would bring the three photos into GIMP with Open As Layers, and 
using
layer masks, have the darker areas of the brighter photo, and the brighter 
areas of the darker
photo replace their counterparts in the "correctly exposed" photo.

One can then use Colors->Levels or Colors->Curves on the layer masks to modify 
how much
each photo will influence the final result.
