Re: [Gimp-user] Help with 2.10.30

[Rick Strong]

Hi Paula,

When I work on images the image I import is usually the base layer and is at 
the *bottom* of a stack. Anything I add is almost always on top. Whatever 
works for you.


Cheers,
RS

I followed your suggestions and I clicked on the text editor in the Tool
Options box to see my input and it was there.  Then I went to the Layers
dialog, selected Stack, and reversed the order of the layers so Layer 1 was
at the top.  I saw the text I entered was in the layer with the large T in
it but it was near the bottom of the stack.  I selected that layer, moved
it to the top, where it should have been, and the text appeared as it
should be.

I will be looking for a default setting for how the layers stack, with the
Base Layer at the top.  Are there default settings for such preferences

Please do remember to copy the list so others can help too - thanks!

Can you try with some other fonts? Also make sure the font size in Tool
Options is reasonable (set it to pixels if needed), and the line height
there too, and that the colour swatch there is what you expect.

Which operating system? E.g. Windows 10? Mac? A Is it a font that came
with Microsoft Word on the Mac? What font?

If you change the image to Mode->RGB does it then work?

[Gimp-user] Help with 2.10.30

[Paula Koval via gimp-user-list]

My partner has no problem adding a text layer to a gif image using 2.8.22
Adding a text layer to jpg with 2.10.30 works fine.  Both of us have tried
to add a text layer to a gif image using 2.10.30 using the text editor and
pasting input from the clipboard and the result is invisible text, but if I
move the cursor over the area where the text has been inserted I can see
the rectangular boxes showing spaces where characters have been inserted.
I check the font, size and, color before adding text but it is not
visible.  I have looked at and tried settings in View, Layers, Images,
Preferences, Windows, every possibility I could change before coming to
this list.  I need your help, please.

Thank you.

Old Crow Paula

Current GIMP version doesn't run on Vista any more – the last one to run on 
Vista was 2.8.22, which you can download from here:

That is tool options - you can show it by going to the Window menu
(Janelas i think for you) and under that the first option is Dockable
Dialogs, and in that submenu the first item it Tool Options.

The main Toolbox you have visible on the left, with the icons for the
different tools.

When asking for help, it's necessary to explain
1. what you did exactly
2. what you expected to happen
3. what actually happened
4. why this is a problem
5. the operating system and software version

You've done some of that but not all. I don't know exactly what is
going wrong for you. But maybe all you need is to find Tool Options.
This is the single most important dialog box in all of GIMP.

The tools are now grouped in the toolbox; right-click or hover over
them.

You can turn off this behaviour and ungroup them in Edit->Preferences
under Toolbox: uncheck "Use tool groups".

Hi Nuno,

What operating system and version are you using? 
What version of GIMP are you using

Do the tools not work when you click on them? Or is it that the Main Toolbox 
not displayed?

As far as the video, you could stave it to a cloud storage site (Box, Dropbox, 
Google (something-or-other)) and post the link to the video in your message.

[Gimp-user] help : aucun niveaux de pression détectés

[mégane linquier via gimp-user-list]

Bonjour,

J’ai récemment acheté une xp pen pro artist 22 et, pour le moment, je l’utilise 
avec GIMP.
Le problème est que je n’arrive pas à avoir de pression dans GIMP.

J’ai bien installé le logiciel pentablet, j’ai le logo dans la barre des tâches 
et la pression est bien détectée (test fait) :

[cid:image001.jpg@01D62FD3.8144E830]

Je me suis dit que c’était un problème de configuration dans GIMP :

[cid:image002.png@01D62FD3.8144E830]

j’ai exactement la même chose pour les trois onglets :
[cid:image003.png@01D62FD3.8144E830]

Après suis-je censée voir le stylet dans les contrôleurs d’entrée ?

[cid:image004.png@01D62FD3.8144E830]

J’ai également chercher sur des forums, et je me suis passée tous les droits 
sur GIMP car ça réglerait le problème pour certains mais pour moi ça ne change 
rien…

Résultat, je n’ai pas la détection de la pression sur GIMP.

Pourriez vous m’aider, svp ? car pour le moment je suis déçue de ne pas pouvoir 
utiliser toutes les capacités de la tablette et du stylet😭

Merci

Cordialement

[Gimp-user] Help

[programmer_ceds]

Sinc disappeared with the advent of GIMP V2.10. I believe that the best
interpolation to use may depend on the contents of the image. Try experimenting
with different interpolations. With V2.8 there were some issues with the Sinc
interpolation and I used Cubic then.

Your script registers (shows up in menus, listed in pluginrc), so you
have it basically right.

When you run it you get his message (may require to use Gimp-console if
you are on Windows):

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/app/lib/gimp/2.0/python/gimpfu.py", line 857, in _run
    res = apply(func, params[1:])
TypeError: crop_all_layers() takes exactly 1 argument (2 given)

This is because your function takes one single argument ("image"), and
since your plugin is using old-style registration, an image and a layer
are always implied as the first two arguments, so you need at least two
arguments in your function (and you can ignore the second).

A better approach is to use new-style registration. In this registration
model, the menu entry is split in two: the menu label as before, but
without any path, and a named "menu" argument with the path:

Old style:

register(
    "crop-all-layers","","","Alex","Alex","2020",
    "/Filters/Artistic/_croplayers...",
    "RGB*, GRAY*",
    [],
    [],
    crop_all_layers,
)

New style:

register(
    "crop-all-layers","","","Alex","Alex","2020",
    "_croplayers...",
    "RGB*, GRAY*",
    [],
    [],
    crop_all_layers,
    menu="/Filters/Artistic/"
)

However with the new style registration, there are no implicit
arguments, so you have to declare your image argument:

register(
    "crop-all-layers","","","Alex","Alex","2020",
    "_croplayers...",
    "RGB*, GRAY*",
    [(PF_IMAGE, "image", "Input image", None)],
    [],
    crop_all_layers,
    menu="/Filters/Artistic/"
)

And then of course use a function that takes a single argument, the image.

Some hints to debug your scripts, especially if you are on Windows:

PS: Couldn't see anything useful in your video, it is too fuzzy to see
the labels. Best make static screenshots, and copy/paste any error

Try something like:

1. Colour select the blue.

2. Grow the selection by (say) 10 pixels to close off the small areas.

3. Shrink the selection back down the same amount.

4. Fill the selection with the colour.

or if it is easier, in reverse 

select the white / shrink / grow / invert selection / fill

Hello,

Is there any way to smooth out a selection?  The magic tool works very well, but
too well in my case because it highlights artifacts in my image scan.   Attached
is a file where you can see the blue blob and it has a bunch of slashes in it. 
I want to smooth out the blob so it does not have any of the slashes in it. 
(This came from a scan that was damaged and I want to repair the artwork)  Up
until now I have done this by hand, but I feel like there is probably an easier
way than that.

Any help is appreciated.  If I have to keep doing it by hand I will, but hoping
there is some tool in Gimps toolbox that an help here :)

Thank you for your time,

There is a known bug in 2.10.14 that makes Gimp  reset the print
definition to 72PPI on *import* (which makes the image larger in print).
YOu can reset the print definition using Image>Print size and these
values should be correctly exported. If that bothers you too much you
can get back to 2.10.12 until 2.10.16 is published.

[Gimp-user] Help

[Erica Boorman via gimp-user-list]

Hi
I tried registering with Gnome/Git(whatever it is) but it won't let me
log-in to leave a message.

I keep getting a runtime error message stating it has done something in an
unexpected way. This happens every time I try to paint onto an existing
image.

I am running GIMP 2.08 on Windows XP. None of the later versions of GIMP
will load, so I'm stuck with this one even though most of your user
postings say they are closed because it isn't GIMP 10 or Windows 8 & later.

Why is it doing this? Is there a lack of memory? A conflict with something
else? A bug in the program?
How do I fix it? I have had to reopen GIMP at least 50 times today, it is
virtually unusable. I am seriously looking towards another program, which
is a shame because when it's working it's brilliant.

Please help

 I read on pippin.gimp.org some time ago that either *alo was the best
option.  Best is to try them out and use your own judgement.


Enlargement is always a challenge.  I had a discussion once about the
benefits of enlarging in stages.  After all that the thing that I know is
that enlargement is a challenge.

[Gimp-user] Help

[Janet Karabin via gimp-user-list]

I just downloaded the Windows Version of GIMP and when I came to the section
of tutorial indicating:

 

“Also notice I have shown a different option under Quality →
Interpolation. The default value for this is Cubic, but to retain the best
quality it would better to use Sinc (Lanczos3).”

 

My only options were:

 

None

Linear

Cubic

NoHalo

LoHalo

 

I want to enlarge smaller photos while maintaining pixel integrity.

 

How do I get the Sinc option as referenced in the tutorial? Or which option
should I choose for similar results.

 

Thank you for your time, I appreciate it.

It's not a bug -- there's no way to reconstruct the missing

Yep.  Once you've transformed from CMYK to RGB you've irretrievably
lost that extra information.

Not only Gimp

A little bit digging and the change in values also happens with online
convertors. I tried a couple, both the same.

CMY(k) 34 37 56 00  

converts to RGB 168 161 112 

converts back to CMYK 0 5 33 34 

The only suggestion is use Krita and start off in CMYK colorspace. The color
picker there keeps the original values.

Actually, after reading th code, what is going on with the colour
selector is that it converts to rgb and back again, and the conversion
is uses is a valid one - you get the same resulting theoretical colour,
if you ignore the way inks mix on paper. In fact changing the amount of
black is often visible, but effectively GIMP (actually BABL) is
subtracting the black from the other colours, which saves ink.

34,37,56,00 is the same colour as
 0, 4,33,34
and you can see this by experimentation.

When GIMP has native CMYK image support, it will need to make
undercolour removal optional, but for now, since the RGB values are the
same and that's all that's stored in the image data, you're stuck with
it.

This is really about the colour picker, and which one you are using,
not about CMYK. It's doing this for me too, although i'm not sure why.

But to work with CMYK you might want to consider using separate+, or
working with Krita, which supports CMYK images directly (and i imagine
can export as a CMYK tiff although i don't know for sure).

> I MUST use cmyk as i'm modeling for an inkjet colored 3d

You are editing an RGB image in GIMP, not a CMYK one. it doesn't matter
which colour picker you use, you'll get an RGB colour.

Converting colours from RGB to CMYK for print can be done in multiple
ways (e.g. with undercolour removal to save ink).

I agree the colour selector is misbehaving, though.

Re: [Gimp-user] Help re-coloring text on a jpg

[Rick Kline]

Jpg, so I’m assuming it’s a flat file (no layers). If the text is a text layer, 
simply choose the Text tool, click in the text, select all, click on the text 
color chip in the dialog box and drag in the color area to select black, or 
enter 00 for the color number. Click OK, and your text should be black.

If it’s not a layered image, you can use the Select By Color tool.
Adjust Threshold to select all of the red when you click on it. 180 worked for 
my test. Once selected, choose black as foreground color, dump black with paint 
bucket on selected text and you should have black text.

Hope this helps.

[Gimp-user] Help cannot paint on layer groups

You can not paint directly on a layer group. It is a container for regular
layers.

A run down of options / what to look for

You make a new image and get a background (just another) layer (3). It can be
colour / transparent / pattern. Usually the default is Background color. You can
paint on this but best to use layers. If you make a mistake, easier to delete a
layer.

The Layers menu contains entries for New Layer and New Layer Group. Also icons
bottom of the Layers dialogue, New Layer (1) New Layer Group (2)

Add a new layer, usually the default is transparent and the layer size the same
as the canvas. You can paint on that. (4)

Text also creates its own layer. Identified by the large T icon (5)

A layer group (6) can contain one or more layers. It can also contain another
layer group if you want the  added complication. The layer group icon will show
a thumbnail of the layer group contents. If the included layers are smaller than
the canvas, the group boundary shows as a dotted line.

An empty layer group (7) will just show the folder icon. Add layers and paint or
drag existing layers into it.

A layer group can be collapsed - the little arrow on the left of the icon - to
keep the clutter down.

Top of the gimp window shows the number of layers. This does include a layer
group(s) counted as one + all the layers and background layer.

A layer group is a container, a box to put layers in.

If you make a new layer group, you should then click on the name of the
layer you want to draw on, in the layers dialogue. You can't draw on
the layer group itself.

If you are just trying to add a new layer, the leftmost button at the
bottom of the layers dialogue (in English; right-most in Hebrew or
Arabic) will make a new layer, and the button next to it makes a new
layer-group container.

Hops this helps.

Dear iDiot =^D

Hold down the Command key (the one with the small Celtic knot-like symbol.) to 
select the source area. The manual was written by 
Windows users. In Windon’t, you use the control key.

Translating from Windit to Macinese:

Windows “Control” key = Mac Command key
Windows “Alt” key = Mac Option key
Windows “Shift” key, strangely enough = Mac Shift key.

1. It's not complete. For instance, there is no documentation on all the
new blending modes yet. Just a few days ago I had to point someone to
commit logs adding Merge and Split blending modes to the code, where some
information on their use was provided. The reason for this is because
roughly 90% of all work on documentation is done by a single person for
whom English isn't even the native language.

2. Mentioning 16 other languages is kinda unfair -- not all translations
are being currently maintained. I've only seen translations into 4
languages updated over the last month.

This is a community effort. The community gets exactly as much as it
contributes. We are all in the same boat: you, me, everyone. We can carry
on pointing fingers or get cracking instead :)

[Gimp-user] Help file for Gimp 2.10?

[david_f]

>Not yet.
>
>Alex

I am very aware that GIMP is not at all comercial software and that it's done
and maintained mainly by volounteers, so sorry for asking that directly, but
why, four months later, that "Not yet" is currently still true (no offline help
file for Gimp 2.10), whereas 2.10 online complete help files are indeed
available (in english as well as in 16 other languages) at
https://www.gimp.org/docs/ ?

Although I don't know when those files were first made publicly available, IMHO
compiling those already existing HTML files into a unique setup file to get a
local 2.10 offline help, shouldn't take that long and shouldn't require much
effort; AMOF that was already done with 2.8 locally installed help.

Am I wrong or am I missing anything ?

Thanks,

David

[Gimp-user] Help! Mac Touchpad Won't Work

[BrentBrotine]

Hi -- just updated GIMP to 2.10.6 to go along with my new MacBook Pro, and I've
repeatedly been downloading and installing it and can't get it to recognize my
touchpad -- so I can't move the cursor or click on anything upon startup. Old
versions always worked fine. Is there a setting I'm not seeing? Thanks.

Hard to tell without the image. From past experience:

1. people spend a lof of time trying to edit rather simple images
   instead of recreating them from scratch which can be easier, faster,
   and will usually give a much cleaner result.
2. given the amount of text you mention this is likely a logo, and
   these things are best done in a "vector graphics" application such
   as Inkscape (the JPG/PNG/GIF you have is just an export, like a PDF
   you would produce from a .DOC). And unless you can get the original
   vector file, you have to do one from scratch, which makes item #1
   all the more valid/

[Gimp-user] Help With Jacked Up Images

[Philbeaux]

I've been using GIMP for awhile now, but really only with very basic and simple
image creation and editing -- nothing to complicated.
I have a couple of websites where I get most of my images from old books and
magazines. It's gotten to the point where I may find a a really good relevant
image, but it looks terrible. The problem is that other than playing around with
some of the basic color settings like Curves or Brightness-Contrast, I have no
idea what to do.
So, I'm just going to post an image or two that I'm having problems with and
ask what can be  done to fix them, that ok?

I'll start with this one that I'm attaching.

What can I do to just bring out some color and make it not so washed out??

A quick way is just duplicate the layer and put the top layer into overlay or
multiply mode - one is lighter than the other but both reinforce the colours.
screenshot https://i.imgur.com/2R29QRb.jpg You can then do a New-from-Visible to
keep the result and work on from there.

Then as a suggestion, a multi-function plugin gmic from www.gmic.eu Not going to

Re: [Gimp-user] Help with Selection Tools Issue

[Michal Vašut]

Main reason why it did not work for jpg is that it doesn't have its own
alpha channel, therefore when you deleted selection, Gimp filled it with
background color (black by default).
As somebody above mentioned, you need to add alpha channel to layer with
image. Then after removing selection, it will be transparent.
Even better way is to add layer mask. (that will cause non destructive
transparency that can be tweaked)

[Gimp-user] Help with Selection Tools Issue

[rich404]

>I am a beginner to GIMP but I've done some stuff in PSE. 
> I tried to use the "magic wand" / fuzzy select tool,  but

A few issues there. I know what you want to do but not sure how you are going
about it.

First general issues. Forget what you have done before in PS, Gimp works in its
own way, it has a steep learning curve, it is not PS.

Windows users for some reason fall back on re-installing when they think the
application is broken. That is very-very rarely necessary. More usually it is
the Gimp profile C:\Users\your-name\.gimp-2.8 that has been screwed up. Rename
that to back it up in case you ever need it again. Start up Gimp and a new
default profile is created.

Deleting the background.

"quote - I tried to use the "magic wand" / fuzzy select tool, but instead of
activating the section I clicked, the entire image began to fill"

That is the bit I can not understand, what do you mean by activating? A
selection is normally indicated by a dotted line 'marquee' - sometimes called
crawling ants.

Removing a background this way requires

1. Add an alpha channel - screenshot 1

2. Using the fuzzy select tool, click in the background.

3. Cut the selection, Edit -> Cut or ctrl-x screenshot 2

Note: Not all is selected, you can add / subtract from an initial selection by
changing the fuzzy tool mode.

The gimp docs are:

Chapter 14 starting https://docs.gimp.org/en/gimp-tools-selection.html

Chapter 7 starting https://docs.gimp.org/en/gimp-using-selections.html

and a short video (7 minutes) just describing them: https://youtu.be/m-Y4G8_murs

A more usual way which you can try is, Colors -> Color-to-alpha. Default is
white. Sometimes those types of clip art become semi-transparent, so it is
try-and-see.

[Gimp-user] Help with Selection Tools Issue

[Tangocat]

I am a beginner to GIMP but I've done some stuff in PSE.  I recently downloaded
and installed GIMP.  I wanted to play around a bit so I dragged in a simple jpg
illustration and wanted to remove the white background.  I tried to use the
"magic wand" / fuzzy select tool,  but instead of activating the section I
clicked, the entire image began to fill with black pixels growing outward from
the image itself and spreading inward from the edges.  The action is locked and
continues no matter what other tool I try to activate.  There is no stopping it
and "undo" doesn't work.  I've uninstalled, reinstalled, downloaded again and
everytime is the same.  Can someone help me?
Thanks,
Kathy

Re: [Gimp-user] Help

[Guy Stalnaker]

JLopez,

That's a fairly open-ended request as "damage" can cover a great variety of
things. May I recommend several things you can look at to get a sense for
the variety of approaches one can take for "damage" in digital images:

A technique for dealing with physical damage, e.g., scratches, etc., is the
wavelet-decompose tool. The idea behind it is that damage may be limited to
certain ranges of an image's detail. Wavelet-decompose breaks an image into
a specified set detail levels allowing you to work on them in isolation.
Pat David's tutorials show how this is done. It is the *primary* took I
used in my own work in "fixing" old family photographs many of which are
covered in fine cracks/scratches. It is time-intensive but can yield
remarkable results, sometimes magical results!

https://patdavid.net/2014/07/wavelet-decompose-again.html

A more general book, not as in-depth as one might wish but which covers a
more broad set of "damage" including color issues, is this book which is
also GIMP specific (unlike most other books that are Photoshop specific).

https://www.barnesandnoble.com/p/beginning-photo-retouching-and-restoration-using-gimp-phillip-whitt/1120375741/2677353755024?st=PLA&sid=BNB_DRS_New+Marketplace+Shopping+Books_&2sid=Google_&sourceId=PLGoP164949&gclid=Cj0KCQiA1afSBRD2ARIsAEvBsNlM8cipvQKf7U99OvLua-GcR8Z-JbzO5GC4VDPyGUA7ES6GB682M24aAvh0EALw_wcB

The Bible of these types of guides is Ctein's "Digital Restoration ..." --
it is, unfortunately, a Photoshop book and thus it's not possible to map
the techniques used to GIMP use. Also, the author makes a fair number of
assumptions about Photoshop knowledge, so that it is not always clear what
he's doing. But the range of techniques he uses will give you a good
understanding of the may ways one can approach fixing "damage"
o
https://www.amazon.com/Digital-Restoration-Start-Finish-Photographs/dp/1138940259/ref=sr_1_1?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1514826231&sr=1-1&keywords=ctein

Hope this helps some -- really, really recommend Pat David's blog. He as
many well written, informative guides for all sorts of things which you
might adapt for your particular needs.

Follows are links to a variety of sources I've saved over the years into
Evernote. You may find useful things here for the types of damage your
photo has:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gr692iyYBUI  <-- excellent color cast
correction

So, that's a lot of stuff, but there is no single technique that will fix
all damage. You'll likely find you need to do different things for
different reasons -- I know that's ambiguous, but it's also unfortunately
almost as surely true for your image as it was for all of my images.

Regards,

Guy S.

[Gimp-user] Help with editing an image like The National album art

[pter86]

Hello,


I was hoping somebody could advise me on how to create a similar effect to the
duotone images from the new National album Sleep Well Beast.

I would like to create a similar blue toned image like the one attached. Any
advice appreciated.

Thank you :)

Considering your other posts were about using very small text, does this involve
a tiny image?

What are the dimensions in pixels of the 'morphed' face area? If that was small
and resized to fit into your 'profile' image, maybe that is the problem.

Same applies to your 'profile image' if it started off small and the resized up
considerably , it will be fuzzy.

Working blind here, but a few suggestions are possible.

Try the Unsharp Mask filter in the Filters > Enhance menu.  It's easy to
overdo, but if you play with the settings you might get something
acceptable. 

You might also want to try some of the filters in the G'MIC package,
such as those under Filters > G'MIC > Details > Sharpen. 

As always, Control+z is your friend:  Back up and try again until you
see something you like. 

Just for fun, you might consider playing around with makeup or grease
paint and using a "real" photo of yourself that automated facial
recognition won't be likely to even recognize as a face.

[Gimp-user] Help with enhancing a profile picture

[chrisj]

I morphed a face image with another one, to get a unique face, because I didn't
want my actual face to be the profile picture on the social website page.

But it doesn't look as clear as other pictures on the site. 

Would anyone like to see if they can improve it for me?

In the world of tagging faces, I really don't want to attach it here for
eternity.

Can I discuss this with someone in a PM?

Thanks

[Gimp-user] Help with Transparency layering

Thank you, but I figured out a way based on the more simple needs I have. By

[Gimp-user] Help with Transparency layering

[ZevVeli]

Okay, not sure if this is the right forum for this, but I'm trying to do some
coloring on a greyscale image. Now, I know how to apply a transparency, and
select down so that the new layer is only taking the opaque area that I am
working with, but I'm trying to figure out how to eliminate the selection I've
colored in from further layers. Or in other words: I have colored in say, the
skin, of my image, now I want to create a new layer keeping my prior
transparencies but without the skin that I have already covered, that way I
don't accidentally color over the skin while applying color to the figure's hair
or clothing.

Just a suggestion, probably more work than you are planning on.

Use layermasks, one for each major colour. Black layer mask and paint in it in
white - this is your selection.

Paint in the associated layer to add details. The great thing about layer masks
is they are non destructive, go back and adjust any time you like.

quick example shown and gimp xcfgz attached.

Alternatives. 

Any selection can be saved as a channel to be called back at a later date.

The Gimp plug-in g'mic www.gmic.eu has an excellant filters to colorize
grayscale photographs. That does the hard work using color swatches, leaving
touch-up to you.

At least some of those attempting to provide a solution have a pretty
good idea what the task is about, are also GIMP developers and don't
think these interruptions are overly helpful.

from their printers which *they* control, not you.  an image does not
present dots per inch and you cannot give them something not existing.  if
you/they are actually referring to pixels, ppi, use the correct term and
use it to describe the crop area of the image.  that capability *is*
provided by gimp and will lead you to less confusion.

also when describing a problem, using the wrong terms leads to incorrect
assumptions for those attempting to provide you a solution.

then perhaps you should describe using correct terms so understanding is
more definitive.  even adobe now uses the correct terms when describing
cropping on their web-site.

and then users incorrectly describing their problems would have a better
understanding and start providing better descriptions leading to better
and/or more precise solutions.

a white horse is not black even though it is just the hair, or could that
be called splitting

This is splitting hairs.
DPI is the term used by professional graphic designers when speccing for 
print reproduction, even though the "dots" in DPI may be made up of clusters 
of pixels. It harkens back to linescreens.

Maybe you should rethink.  dpi is a printer term, not a quality term for
an image.  dpi represents the number of ink dots a printer places on

Earlier messages referenced a Canon digital camera, IIRC. I also saw a 
reference to the images showing up as very small when the pictures were 
loaded in to GIMP. That tells me that the camera images you are trying to 
load are in RAW format but you don't have a plug-in in GIMP that will let it 
read files in that format.


What you are seeing are the thumbnails of the RAW files. You need to install 
a plug-in for GIMP to let it read RAW files. You can install either dcraw or 
ufraw plug-in to let GIMP read the files. If you can't find either of those 
plug-ins you will need to convert the files in to a format that GIMP can 
read before you try loading them in GIMP.

Are you certain you need a _specific_ dpi? Or is something _close_ ok? If
so, I'd honestly just constrain the select tool to a ratio for your
intended image size (8:10, 24:16, etc) and crop to suit tastes.

Berating?  No where close.

This program just isn't that user intuitive.  Maybe because all I've ever used
is PS for editing.

Since my edits are very minimal, it's driving me up the wall in trying to figure
out how to get a standard crop size with a specific dpi.

I'll get it sooner or later.  PS is the only thing keeping me in a windows

[Rick Strong]

You CAN work in inches and your title bar can be changed to show the 
original size in inches.

No need to work in pixels.
See attached jpgs.
Of course, small photos have to be scaled up to get larger sizes. GIMP 
scales up quite nicely.

8"x10" at 200 ppi is 1600 x 2000 pixels.

If you can crop the image to this size and get what you want, you do
not
need additional steps.

If you do - i.e. if a 1600x2000 crop does not match up with what you
want to crop out of the original image - then a scale will become
necessary.

Can you provide a sample image and mark the area you want to retain
after the crop?
There is an unit drop-down list in the image window status bar - check
the View menu. This can also be set in GIMP's preferences.
Maybe to adjust the image resolution.



Hello Micheal.  I'll look into GIMP later today, when I get to the studio. 
So
from what I've read, I have to convert  what I want the end result to be, 
i.e.

size crop and dpi to pixels, and use that number to achieve the desired size
crop?

I can provide a sample image but of course they would all vary on the end 
target

with regard to a crop.  My editing for my images are relatively minimal in
nature.

I crop 8x10
Tweak contrast if desired
I use the gradient tool [foreground to transparent]  in all 4 corners 
usually

I sharpen them
Save to .jpg for my lab to print proofs.

Done.

I guess I can make up a cheat sheet and stick it on the wall for all my 
usual

crops for orders to determine pixel count.

16x20's
11x14's
8x10's
5x7's
4x5's
etc...

or you could use ratio for crop parameters

amazing you want to use a tool but are not really interested in learning
how it work to the point of berating it comparing to an app you did bother
to learn to use.

Hello Micheal.  I'll look into GIMP later today, when I get to the studio.  So
from what I've read, I have to convert  what I want the end result to be, i.e.
size crop and dpi to pixels, and use that number to achieve the desired size
crop?

I can provide a sample image but of course they would all vary on the end target
with regard to a crop.  My editing for my images are relatively minimal in
nature.

I crop 8x10
Tweak contrast if desired
I use the gradient tool [foreground to transparent]  in all 4 corners usually
I sharpen them
Save to .jpg for my lab to print proofs.

Done.

I guess I can make up a cheat sheet and stick it on the wall for all my usual
crops for orders to determine pixel count.

16x20's
11x14's
8x10's
5x7's
4x5's
etc...

Do not expect Gimp to work the same way as PS. The Gimp crop tool fixed size
options work in pixels. If you want 200 ppi set the size to 1600 x 2000 pix.
Otherwise use the print size dialogue.

Believe me you do have that feature, not my fault if you can not be bothered to
find out how Gimp works.

Then go back and use what you are comfortable with.

The only hoops are in your mind.

You still have not given the image dimensions in pixels yet. Not difficult. It
is at the **top of the image window**

>From your posts, best guess is still you have opened a thumbnail instead of the
full image. Can happen with Canon .CR files. especially if they are corrupted
somehow.

But...I am sure someone will come up with better solutions for both of you. Best
of luck.

8"x10" at 200 ppi is 1600 x 2000 pixels.

If you can crop the image to this size and get what you want, you do not
need additional steps.

If you do - i.e. if a 1600x2000 crop does not match up with what you
want to crop out of the original image - then a scale will become
necessary.

Can you provide a sample image and mark the area you want to retain
after the crop?

There is an unit drop-down list in the image window status bar - check
the View menu. This can also be set in GIMP's preferences.

> then he goes into print size?

Maybe to adjust the image resolution.

another frustrated new user here on this whole cropping thing.

in photoshop  i throw in 8x10 @ 200, use the crop tool, and what do you know.  I
get a 8x10 crop @ 200

what's the deal with gimp?  I mean what am I missing here...?

I watched the vid.  first off he changes the ruler sizing to inches with some
feature below, which I don't have.  then he goes into print size?

I can't afford to do all these steps on hundreds of images for a catalog.

is there anyway, I can place YxZ and get an 8x10, or 11x14 without jumping
through hoops?

I tried to scale it got nothing, then I thought that maybe I need to scale the
canvas first so i tried that but it would only let me scale to 4.somthing
inches.

All I want to do is produce a photo that will fit into an 8*10 frame...one
frustrated user ;-)

That camera has a 18MP sensor and should produce images around the 5000 x 3600
pixel mark. Of course you can set a camera up to take much smaller sizes but my
guess is you have got a built-in thumbnail rather than the actual image. What
format is the image, jpeg or RAW (.CRW .CR2)?

If the image format is RAW then use the Canon software that comes with the
camera to convert it for editing. There are plugins for Gimp that handle RAW
images but the camera makers software will be best.

>Upon further investigation (changing the ruler measurement to inches) it

>that the size of the file is less than an inch in each direction.

The attached screenshot is my 18MP lumix. The important bit is the size in
pixels at the top. Then go into Image -> Print Size and see what it says there.
Come back and give the equivalent values of your image.

>All I want to do is produce a photo that will fit into an 8*10 frame...one 
>frustrated user ;-)

I could write a 1000 words on this but I am not going to. This little video
shows it all in 4 minutes.

Upon further investigation (changing the ruler measurement to inches) it appears
that the size of the file is less than an inch in each direction.

Does this mean that I need to scale it before I crop?

Rich2005, while that all makes very good sense to me I am still having the same
issue.  The image was taken with a Cannon 7D DSLR so I find it hard to
understand why the image is so small that I can not crop it to an 8*10 .

Any ideas?

If the extent of the crop area is outside the canvas, then the crop size value
is adjusted accordingly.
