Hello Gary Talking to a photographer that works and lives nearby , we often talk about best ways to get the best out of images , his suggestion (unless you have already tried this) copy/paste a much larger than you need selection , make it a new layer under main image , move that bottom layer left/right/up/down until it sort of looks umm ok then with the erase tool set at a large size with opacity turned down down , I think he means to have it blend in (as much as you can) definitely I was told without using the smudge tool, also mentioned that using a non standard brush eg smoke/cloud/splatter type brushes set to large size could also help . My suggestion is keep experimenting and enjoy and that's what art is all about... you never know when the next - "Happy Accidents In Art" will happen Hope it Helps & Good Luck -- fa-flyingalone (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 List archives: https://mail.gnome.org/archives/gimp-user-list
[Gimp-user] Gimp Brush - No Hardedge - Solution
Hi folks Just thought I would share the solution to a long term problem I have been having with Gimp brushes since 2.10. The problem: I select an object and attempt to paint it but the brush wont do a non feathered edge. This is a problem with the settings on the selection tool not the brush. To test: open another blank template and try out your brush on that. If it is anti-aliasing (tiny little blocks on the end) or very choppy looking blocks then the problem is the selection tool settings. Fix: Re-select whatever it is you want to re-paint. Go to the tool settings and simply unselect the "anti-aliasing" selection. Instant hard edge. Duh. Easy once you know how. I think it is possible that later versions of Gimp have the box checked as a default. -- GimpCrazy (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 List archives: https://mail.gnome.org/archives/gimp-user-list

When you export a regular image (RGB type) to GIF, Gimp tries to find an optimum palette. If you don't like it, you can convert the image to color-indexed (Image>Mode>Color indexed). There are several options when you do it that way, such as the color palette used. ___ gimp-user-list mailing list List address:gimp-user-list@gnome.org List membership: https://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gimp-user-list List archives: https://mail.gnome.org/archives/gimp-user-list

IIRC it is usually the other way around - you build xsane with GIMP plug-in support. -- Regards, Michael GPG: 96A8 B38A 728A 577D 724D 60E5 F855 53EC B36D 4CDD ___ gimp-user-list mailing list List address:gimp-user-list@gnome.org List membership: https://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gimp-user-list List archives: https://mail.gnome.org/archives/gimp-user-list

How exactly did you install gimp? is this from the arch repository, or is it a flatpack? Are other things remembered between sessions?

[Gimp-user] Toolbox and layer windows disappearing each time
Hi, I've got Gimp v.2.10.12 on Linux (Archlinux/Gnome) and every time I open the application there is no toolbox - neither layer window. Since I need those to be open, I open them every time but when I leave the application it doesn't seem to remember they were open. I've set up Gimp to "save tool options on exit" and "save window positions on exit" but this is clearly not helping. Any idea of how to have this windows reopen at each session? It's quite annoying to have to reopen them each time and I remember a time when the toolbox would always open at startup. -- GimpUserNo666 (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 List archives: https://mail.gnome.org/archives/gimp-user-list
