[Subject: [Gimp-user] Cannot open PSD -CMYK setting]

Hello Aneri.

You're getting that error because gimp does not (yet) support images in
CMYK mode. You have a few options.

1. Download Krita and convert the psd to RGB or continue editing it in CMYK
in Krita. (I image you don't really want to learn new software) Go to
Image>Change Image Color Space. Select sRGB. Save the file with a new name.
Maybe append it with RGB so you can the difference between and the original
2. Get a trial version of Photoshop CC to open and edit the file for the
next 30 days.
3. Download a trial version of Corel-Draw and use the Corel Paint app for
Windows.
3. Get the beta version of Affinity Photo for Windows.

Based on whatever your final output might be, I'd suggest going the Krita
route, it's the only option you have that won't lock you in a trial version
or pay-walled files. Is there no sticky for these kinds of user issues on
GIMP forums?

I hope that one or two the listed solutions work for you :)

Thanks
J

[Gimp-user] Lighten / Darken tool is where?

[Judah Kleinveldt]

Hi you can try these options lighten or make dark a specific area. In
photography its called dodging or burning.

dodge/burn tool
http://imagebin.org/index.php?mode=imageid=298262

dodge tool menu
http://imagebin.org/index.php?mode=imageid=298264

This will allow you to lighten (dodge) or make darker (burn) any specific
area. The tool menu also helps you choose how much darker or lighter you'd
like to have it.

Thanks

[Gimp-user] (no subject)

[Judah Kleinveldt]

Hi All.

I am looking to use Gimp to do a very large drawing for print. I was
using MyPaint but for this particular drawing Gimp will do the job much
better not to mention the CPU resource the .ora format overuses every
time I try to use it in other software   not to mention the file itself
is pretty huge to begin with. Anyway I have my drawing tablet working
but Gimp only utilises half of the drawing area vertically and about 85%
of the drawing area horizontally. My current workaround this is to use
excessive panning. I use Gimp 2.6 on Ubuntu 10.10 ( I know its an old
version but I have way too much software  and not enough data in the
month to do an complete OS install).  Is the problem something that can
be fixed in a file somewhere or is an upgrade an absolute must in this
case.

[Gimp-user] Subject: Re: Need Gimp DPI increased

Need Gimp DPI increased
Message-ID: 500d0db961c00_3144008c315c103...@wurd.dev001.net.mail
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8

 
I approached a canvas printer with this GIMP file and they claimed that my 
Gimp file was now too small (25cm x 12 cm) and too low res for the 300 dpi I 
needed for a quality printed canvas image of 200cm x 140 cm.

 Please can someone assist me to get this GIMP file DPI up to be able to print 
 the image large format?

IF you say that the final image is 200cm x 140cm that equals 2 metres by 1.4 
metres. I would suggest creating a new document in Gimp measuring this size 
(200cm x 140cm) and instead of 300dpi to have the new document at 96dpi (150dpi 
max, though the file size will be much bigger)

Once you have this new document you should then import the xcf file into the 
new document that you have just created and resize the imported file to fit 
your gimp canvas accordingly (I am very cautious of resizing an image too many 
times)

If you are doing it as a glicee print then this should suffice.
Perhaps you can have him/her show you the print as it passes through.

Also
How big is your current image (in pixels, since that's the only thing 
that counts)?

900px x 572px is much too small an image for that size print.

In terms of printing, the actual size in cm or mm is what really counts and not 
the pixels.
Usually the hight your dpi the better, but because you have such a very large 
image it could bomb out in the ripping and spooling process making things 
difficult and the waiting time to get your print so much longer. 96dpi is the 
least any printer will accept. 

Happy Gimping

[Gimp-user] Creating groups or layer sets in gimp

[judah . kleinveldt]

Hi guys 
Been following the list and pretty happy with all the postings so far (with the 
exception of that odd discussion about the name). 
To get to the point. I use adobe photoshop quite often and one thing that has 
always been a valuable tool is the ability to create a group or a layer set. Is 
this possible in GIMP or would I have to obtain a plugin to do this.
