[Gimp-user] Tinting brushes

2009-12-01 Thread Cédric Gémy
I'm searching for a way to tint a phot-based brushes. What i found using Gradient option of any brush tool is that the color of the gradient are filling the shape of the active brush shape. What i'm looking for is something that would replace the brushes values by a color. Just as if you were modif

There is no non-sense that Inkscape supports some bitmap operations and also no nonsense that a bitmap applications support some vector possibilities simply because in many project, you simply need to mix vector and bitmap datas. a logo on a photo for example : and if the logo can be kept vector t

It seems that my message has been sent several time. I don't know where it comes from, please apologize for this. actual i don't have any idea of how vector layers have been implemented to Gimp. I guess the most important thing is not that vector property of the layer. IMO, having vector masks (w

2009-12-30 Thread Cédric Gémy
Just put the .abr file in your $HOME/.gimp-2.6/brushes. Relaunch gimp and it might be OK. Unfortunately, i feel that Gimp is running much slower when such brush set are loaded. It seems to me that gimp loads them all at launch time. Is there any caching that would allow to have them available but

This is a common question. The question is not what a software does, but what you really need. Then you'll find the software by testing it for a long time (i'm not sure photoshop 30 days is enough) IMO Photoshop doesn't really supports 16bit and CMYK just because when you switch to these modes, a

I don't remember how this discussion has turned to a GUI discussion just as if the hugest difference wetween the two was this point. Anyway, Gimp is great, and photoshop has many default too. It also tries to implement new GUI possibilities, but they sometimes shouldn't, i guess :) "Most people th

lo I've just seen this screenshot of a forthcoming new node in blender and i find this rainbow UI really nice because it lets you quite easily (gimp curve-like) modify any hue of the document. I let you check this : http://mke3.net/blender/devel/2.5/hue_correct_node.jpg or http://mke3.net/blender

not completely satisfied with sven's method, working on some pictures but not any, depending on the shades. I used to do it in CMYK a long time ago with photoshop by just pushing the image to CMYK and inverting the K curve. I guess something might be done with decompose color filter or so. But the

"Duplicate layer, invert bottom layer and cut all blacks and whites out of (transparent) top layer (of course, if there's a range of greys it gets more complicated)." it's evident that this is the problem : i don't know about Rich's photo but the sample i use here have various flavors of blacks'
