The "Current layer only" setting of the crop tool options?

[Gimp-user] Unemboss plugin/operation

2010-08-20 Thread Rob Gom
Hi all,
sorry if this can be easily found, but I've googled for it without success.
Is there an easy way to "revert" emboss effect? I mean, to get image
resembling original as close as possible, as I understand it is lossy
operation.

Do you have an idea how to do that?

Regards,
Robert

The best way to figure something out yourself is to publicly ask for
help. You're sure to figure it out on your own about 5 seconds after
pressing "send". :)

[Gimp-user] How about trying "Restore Default" numbskull?

2010-08-20 Thread Jim Clark

Which I did...after clicking and cropping for about an hour! And now it
works as it always has. Not sure how I changed anything, but I surely did.
And now it is changed back.

Thanks everybody-

Jim:

Note that I am on the current version, and may not ever have used 
2.2.13. However, in the current version, there are two "crop to 
selection" choices, one in the Image menu, and one in the Layer menu. 
The one in the image menu acts like you were expected; the image is 
trimmed to the size of the selection. The one in the layer menu acts 
just as you describe now, that is, the image around the selection is 
removed, and you are left with a transparent background. Sounds to me 
like you chose the wrong "crop to selection".

There at least two ways to correct your problem: you can select the 
desired area of the image, and crop to selection from the image menu; 
you can change the canvas size using the canvas size option in the image 
menu (Note: you may have to adjust the offset). There may be others, as 
well.

[Gimp-user] Crop mystery? I'm gonna sound like an idiot

2010-08-20 Thread Jim Clark


Crop--like tool #1 you learn to use. I have used it TODAY just fine, making
the image I was cropping smaller. But suddenly, when I cropped I got the
cropped area and a transparent area surrounding it. This was a one layer
image. Nothing fancy--just took some screen shots and wanted to trim them.
And now I've got my trimmed image surrounded by a huge transparent area,
and I cannot figure out:

1) What changed
2) How to get rid of that transparent area

I have never used the Resize button before, but it seems to act just as the
Crop button does. Tried it on pngs, jpgs and xcfs...all the same.

I am mystified. What did I change? How do I un-change it? Using 2.2.13
(happily, until today) on Linux.

Thanks-
