I've used GIMP just enough to humiliate myself at my lack of knowledge, and am trying to get a handle on the whole image manipulation thing.

My idea involves neon text (from the tutorial on this page http://www.gimpusers.com/tutorials/neon-glow-text) on top of a logo I've found in a jpg, both of those over a starry night sky.

[Gimp-user] Mathmap for windows
Thank you for the help! You really need to supply more information. Version of windows, the .dll(s) that is(are) missing. (from your previous post) I've got windows vista. When I launch math map with gimp, it says, I need a runtime to make it works properly. Then I've got a message saying that it may be broken I don't have a vista machine but in win7 32 bit - just a thought, is your vista 32 bit or 64 bit? What version of gimp are you using? Difficult to give advice when I can't replicate the error but from what you write The mathmap plugin shows in the gimp 'filters - 'generic' menu. It should show a whole list of filters with mathmap right at the bottom? You select mathmap (at the bottom of the list) and you get the errors. The last error message you get is a gimp 'catch-all', fix the first one and that should be cured. First thing I would check - Is the version of mathmap the latest? - I make that version 1.3.5 Then check the installed files. I thought they went in the global plugins but no. You should have in C:\Users\your_name\.gimp-2.6\plug-ins\ libfftw3-3.dll 4177 KB libgsl.dll 1772 KB libgslcbas.dll 225 KB libgtksourceview-2.0-0.dll 1243 KB mathmap.exe9576 KB There is one report that even with these files, failed to start because libgslcblas.dll was not found error occurs, but that was a year ago. plus subfolders 'share' - 'gtksourceview-2.0' - 'language-specs' containing a file mathmap.lang - 'style' containing .xml files As a long shot last resort, you could try moving these files folders to your global plugins folder C:\Program Files\GIMP-2.0\lib\gimp\2.0\plug-ins Then there is a separate folder 'C:\Users\your_name\.gimp-2.6\mathmap which contains llvm_template.o, a pair of png files and a folder 'expressions' with all the mathmap filters.

[Gimp-user] Mathmap for windows
Hi I'm looking for a complete mathmap plugin fully working on gimp 2.6. has anyone got it or a correct link? According to Rod on GimpChat: http://gimpchat.com/viewtopic.php?f=10t=2287p=29721 MathMap comes from here: http://www.complang.tuwien.ac.at/schani/mathmap/ In addition You really need to supply more information. Version of windows, the .dll(s) that is(are) missing. (from your previous post) On registry.gimp.org the only mention of a problem with dlls were the files libgsl.dll and libgslcblas.dlls These are included in the mathmap installer from http://www.complang.tuwien.ac.at/schani/mathmap/ so if this is the problem then look elsewhere on your computer. Maybe an anti-virus or malware application stopping them installing/running. I just tried gimp 2.6.11 mathmap in both a winxp, win7 virtual machines and it is working there. The mathmap installer does put its exe dlls in the global gimp plugins, so check there for the above dll files. Also puts a mathmap folder in your local .gimp-2.6 folder. It is possible to unpack the mathmap installer and put everything in your local .gimp-2.6\plugins and doing this I found that there were two versions of libfftw3-3, I kept the one already there (from photivo) and mathmap still worked.

[Gimp-user] Collage scaling up
I intend to create a huge collage (22000 x 24000 pixels = 4.6 GB file size). Working on the image becomes impracticably slow. Is there a way to do the whole collage in small (10% of the size / resolution), arrange layers, masks etc. in the small version until it fits, and then convert it to the full size version? I guess that would mean first changing the image resolution, and then have GIMP automatically re-import all pictures (layers) in original size. It should keep all layer properties and just recalculate all layers with the higher resolution using the original picture size. If there is a way to do this? Or another way to get the same result? Thanks Chris I would say Inkscape. It has presets A0,A1 which are poster sizes Using Inkscape 0.48, PCLOS2010 KDE, an old 3 GHz Pentium 4 with 2 GB ram For the sake of an experiment I made a 24000 x 18000 page. Quick test, a patterned background + importing 5 bitmap images ( as links not embedded) Export to png (no jpg alternative), you have to be careful with the dpi setting or the image will be truly enormous. So 100 dpi gave an image 26667 x 2 pix (guessing the original was screen dpi) Export took some time to render but the cpu was never maxed and ended up with a 215 MB png file. The svg for saving was 41KB - (hence the linked bitmaps) Problem now, I can't view the png image, I've come across this before making big mosaics, tried to open in evince, CPU max's, memory max's, swap partition heading for max, as the png unpacks. Killed it before it locked the machine.

Color-to-alpha only applies to the selection, so you can restrict its effects by doing a selection first.

I have about 70 frames that i want to add, so i made a animated text that lasts 70 frames too... i just thought it was the logical thing to do ... now the way i know around it is to actually manually copy and paste each layer of the xcf i got from saving the animated text onto the each layer in a new xcf with the main background.. but for 70 odd frames that gonna be a pain. and i was thinking it would probably work with the frames i got from the video as well... so is there an easier way out .. im sure there is ... coz i opened the text xcf using open as layers... but dont knw how to merge the whole thing. thanks in advance One way perhaps but not Gimp. You can combine pairs of images with Imagemagick. (does not have to be .png but does need to be a format that supports transparency) For automating the process it makes sense to rename the sets of images. http://www.imagemagick.org Imagmagick is command line so in a console this command works convert 10001.png 20001.png -compose dissolve -composite new01.png note The image in second place (20001.png) overlays the first image so second has to contain transparency. I can't see anyway around this, you can use a different command to 'blend' but this alters colours. In your case maybe if the 'flames' have a central transparent area allowing the underlying 'text' to show. If using windows, then you can automate with a batch file along the lines of: FOR /L %%G IN (1,1,n) DO convert 1000%%G.gif 2000%%G.gif -compose dissolve -composite new%%G.gif where n is the no of frames. Do yourself a favour here and make a project folder containing all the images and the something.bat. Change to that folder and run the batch file from there. Same applies using a single command. That gets you a set of combined frames, open As Layers in Gimp and save as a new animated .gif. This might get you started, plenty of 'ifs-and-buts' though. -- rich (via gimpusers.com) ___ Gimp-user mailing list Gimp-user@lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU https://lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU/mailman/listinfo/gimp-user
[Gimp-user] warp by points
What I'd like to be able to do is something like georeferencing images in a GIS. That is, having a base image I refer to, create a series of points on the base and another image of a different scale that correspond to the same places, and the new image will be adjusted to match. Is there a way to do this with GIMP? I have not been able to find anything like this so far in looking around. Maybe I just don't know the correct terminology for GIMP. Thanks for your help- Peter Not really any suggestions for gimp but it is cold and boring here in the UK so I ran out a small video using Art of Illusion.

How do I get rid of it? I am working on Linux Debian testing with Gimp 2.6.10. Briefly, this is what I did: 1. Make an new image a little larger than 4 X the width of one picture 2. Add first picture as a layer. 3. Add the second as another layer 4. Overlap image two over image one until they line up. 5. Add layer mask to image 2 6. Add gradient to layer mask - black to white from edge of second image to 3/4 of the way to edge of image 1 7. Repeat as needed for each new image By looking at the image, I would say the vertical band of darkness is the area of the gradient/overlap of the two images. I am a complete novice at this Thanks! Mark P.S. I have also tried Hugin, which I could not get to work, and the gimp panorama plugin, which produce the same problem as above. Your shadow on the seam is caused by a general color mismatch between the right part of the left image and the left part of the right one. Creating panoramas requires to set the camera in manual mode to make sure it won't change exposure parameters between the various shots. And even once you have done that you still have shadow problems to sort out because your photo has vignetting (slightly darker in the corners) and the seam may be done between the border of a picture (dark) and a more inner part of the next (slightly lighter). And this assumes of course that you have got the geometry right, and corrected any tilt in the pictures, etc... To make it short, assembling panoramas in Gimp is a lot of hard work. The only pictures that aren't too hard to assemble in Gimp are those from a flatbed scanner. Invest you time in making Hugin work. This will be a lot more rewarding in the end. Hmmmthat is very discouragingthe panorama from Gimp looks great, except for the two vertical black shadows where three pictures were joined.

[Gimp-user] (no subject)
I'm not an expert Gimp user so maybe I'm just not looking in the right place for this. I've been Googling for hours and finally gave up. I need to shape an image to follow a path or curve. Since I can't do it, I'm not sure how I can show you what I mean, but imagine the palm branch that flows around the edge of a medal. I have a long slender image of a braid (3/4 x 10) I need to shape like that around a 5 circle. Polar Coordinates seems to be the place to start but it creates a huge curve and I can't see how to force it any smaller. This is much like making text follow a curve or path, but I need my image to follow the path. I've thought about converting the image to a really big font symbol so I could manage it like a text character but I've not figured out how to go about that. This is evidently something others have sought and no one has found a solution for yet. Is there none? Any help? Thanks. maybe arclayer http://registry.gimp.org/node/8261 and http://shallowsky.com/software/arclayer/ an example http://imgur.com/PUshM.jpg If using windows you will need to install python, not as difficult as it used to be.

[Gimp-user] [BULK] Circular Graphics
Thanks, Rich. That worked great. But now I'm having trouble placing this circular logo onto my graphic. I copied it to the clipboard then pasted it as a separate layer in my graphic, then sized the layer to the image size, but I can't get the text to show on the top of the graphic. I must be missing a very basic step but can't seem to figure it out. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks. Maureen Maureen wrote: how to add curved text to the circular graphic. That is easy. There is a Script-Fu script for that called Text Circle. It is in the drop down menus under File - Create - Logos - Text Circle. That was Kevin Cozens suggestion. I go for a more general approach using text to path. However the great thing about Gimp is there are generally several ways to do anything. Using the Logo circular text. Some screen shots here that might help. http://imgur.com/NOH94.jpg 1. Make your text. Helps if the text is about the correct size. The text is on a transparent layer with a white background. 2. Copy the transparent layer 3. Return to the background image and paste into this image. 4. Use the *cursor keys* (mouse does not work here - don't know if this is a commom symptom) to move the selection. At this point while the selection is still active you can paint in a new colour, stroke the outline or adjust using using the resize tool. When complete anchor the selection. Best to do this on transparent layer so when it screws up you can start again. -- rich (via gimpusers.com) ___ Gimp-user mailing list Gimp-user@lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU https://lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU/mailman/listinfo/gimp-user

[Gimp-user] curving text (text to path?)
Hi folks; Im a new user here so be gentle. A little background: I work for a small engineering firm that designs racing transmission parts. Im comfortable using CAD and other engineering software, but this 20min project has taken up half my day. I need to create a logo, using our existing one. All I wanted to do was add a curved text portion above and below our original logo. It needs to have the same curve top and bottom. Ive played with the text-to-path and I cant get a good looking linear curve over the top of our logo. And, even if I did; I dont know how to match that curve on the bottom rocker so they look similar. I tried the circular text logo template, but I need the text to read RTL on the top curve and the bottom. Someone told me there was an ARC plug-in for CD labels, can I use this on my windows based version of GIMP2? Thanks for your time; Nate I'm with the inkscape suggestion.

The on-board tools are just fine for this. Do something to some pixels (here: invert) and leave the rest unchanged translates to: duplicate the layer, do that something and apply a suitable layer mask. Where the layer mask is white, the modified pixels from the top layer are visible, otherwise the unchanged pixels from the bottom layer show through. So a layer mask is needed which equates the image's saturation, such that it is white (= show inverted pixels) where the saturation is zero (or close to zero). The saturation gets calculated during conversion to the HSV color model: Color-Components-Decompose delivers a saturation layer. The lighter this layers is, the more saturation the corresponding image pixel has. In consequence, it must be inverted. To further mask out image pixels, which are not close to a saturation of 0, a threshold of 254 can be applied. (More on that later). Using this layer as a layer mask for the inverted layer will reveal wether this train of thought is correct... The steps: 1. Create inverse copy of picture Duplicate the picture layer Invert that new layer 2. Create HSV color separation Select picture layer and do Colors-Components-Decompose (color model HSV), which creates a new image. Copy the saturation layer to your original image. (simply drag the layer from the layers dialog to the image window.) Invert that new layer (for better finetuning, we'll do the thresholding later) 3. Turn saturation layer into a layer mask for the inverted picture crude hack somebody please help out and insert a sane way to copy a layer to another layer's mask With saturation layer: Add Layer Mask (Grayscale copy of layer) Mask to Selection Delete the saturation layer (all required information is in the selection mask) With the inverted picture layer: Add Layer Mask (Selection) Select-None /crude hack now we're basicly done 4. Fine-tuning of layer mask Select newly created layer mask According to the question, now a Colors-Threshold of 254 should be applied, but Color-Levels and dragging the middle slider to the right gives better control. Don't expect the saturation mask to be perfect, some rounding errors due to 8bit resolution might show up. have fun, peter ___ Gimp-user mailing list Gimp-user@lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU https://lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU/mailman/listinfo/gimp-user

However there are path layers, which can be treated like vector although they themselves don't have fill or stroke colors or patterns - if you change a path and you want to change the stroke or whatever, you have to do it manually. I've used a plug in for shapes - shape-path-0.91.scm http://registry.gimp.org/files/shape-path-0.91.scm http://registry.gimp.org/node/59 It works great, but the cords and sizing need to be manually entered.

When it starts to occur, it really goes off the far end - example, dark area for source point, and then the first click on the area that needs touching up goes yellow or white. Seems like its an exor'd value. I then select the clone tool, click once, then go back to heal, and its fine. BTW, I really like the heal tool.

Hi,
I tried recompiling, same results. So this time I renamed the plugin dir
/usr/local/lib/gimp/2.0 and restarted gimp-2.4. This time, a new
keyboard and mouse controller
appeared in the Input Devices of the Preferences. I was able to
enable both, KB and Mouse Wheel.
So now there are 4 devices (2 keyboard, 2 mouse wheel), but two of
them have the word Main in their title and the icons are different.
I can set and configure the two entries without the word Main, I
select the item and click the configure button and the dialog appears.
However, if I select one of the items with the word Main and click
the edit button, Gimp crashes.
I then renamed the .gimp-2.4 dir in home, seemed to have no effect.
Still crashes.
I copied the mappings from the Main items into the new items and the
mappings work.

I do see gimp.la and gimp.a in python dir /usr/local/lib/gimp/2.0/python
When I tried renaming the 2.0x dir back to 2.0, gimp complained about
not being able to enable controller.
And when I tried the options on the input device, it blew out.
I renamed the 2.0new to 2.0 and the previous 2.0 to 2.0x.
Restarted gimp, and now the input devices (non-Main) popup the edit
dialog fine.
I compared the dirs and found in the dir that fails, I see .so libs.
As long as I don't select the prefs for Main input devices, seems to run
fine.
I tried getting any output, but there is only the LibGimpBase error msg.
I tried doing a stack trace to see if anything else popped up as I
pressed the pref option on the controller.

[Gimp-user] No JPG recognized on one host: 2.2.8
This has me completely baffled. We run Slackware-10.1 on all hosts; each had a copy of gimp-2.2.8 installed from the same package. On all but one laptop, there is no problem opening and working with .jpg files. On this one host, .hrz, .ico, and .jpg files are not recognized and not available in the file type list. I've removed and reinstalled the application, and moved ~/.gimp-2.2/ to another name so it is regenerated when the application is invoked. No difference in behavior: it will not accept .jpg as a valid file type. ImageMagick's 'display' has no problem with them. When I searched google for this problem I found a reference to a missing library on freeBSD. On the host here, /usr/lib/libjpeg* are all present. Suggestions and solutions greatly appreciated.

So what is the patent/copyright problem and why doesn't it affect ImageMagick equally as much? John, I don't work with gifs so I've not checked the GIMP for its ability to manuipulate them. We also run GIMP-1.2.2. The patent problem with gifs surfaced a few years ago. I'm sure you can find the details on the web some place. All I know is that CompuServe patented the format and wants license fees for using it. LZW compression is also patented so we removed it from all GRASS modules. Rich Dr. Richard B.

Re: [Gimp-user] how to correct optical distortions of wide-anglelenses?

Peter, That's an interesting idea. Have you thought of doing the correction as you take the photograph? If you keep the film plane parallel to the front of the building you won't have the distortion. Without a full, tilt-and-swing bellows arangement on your camera, you can do it by choosing the proper lens and shooting position. Of course, sometimes you just cannot get to the right position. :-) Good luck! Rich Dr. Richard B. Shepard, President Applied Ecosystem Services, Inc.
