[Gimp-user] Gimp channel mixer
The problem is not the channel mixer, if I select background I can use the channel mixer OK, but the thumbnail is still in the image, my problem therefore is importing the image properly, why is the image being imported as two pages? Thankyou for replying so quickly earlier, I did not expect to receive a reply on a Saturday evening, I have been looking at a computer for too long now, I'm going for a beer, will log on later. -- Oxonian (via www.gimpusers.com/forums) ___ gimp-user-list mailing list List address:gimp-user-list@gnome.org List membership: https://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gimp-user-list List archives: https://mail.gnome.org/archives/gimp-user-list
[Gimp-user] Gimp channel mixer
I now believe the problem lies with the importing of the image. I have been importing fresh images into GIMP, what I had not noticed was that the tiny thumbnail is there from the beginning, my image size is 6016x4000, the thumbnail image is about 150x100 in the top left. When I import the image a dialogue box opens with the title "IMPORT FROM TIFF" The box shows two pages and asks if I want to import them as layers or images, I have been importing them as layers. the layers appear with the top layer labelled as page 1, and beneath it the main image labelled background. If I turn off page 1 the thumbnail disappears. I thought the two images may be the result of my files being too large, they are 137MB, under preferences the max image size was set to 128MB, I upped this to 164MB but it has made no difference. If I import the pages as images I get two images, one the full size image, the other a very small image, both identical. -- Oxonian (via www.gimpusers.com/forums) ___ gimp-user-list mailing list List address:gimp-user-list@gnome.org List membership: https://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gimp-user-list List archives: https://mail.gnome.org/archives/gimp-user-list

Lucky break, the hair in the images above does not seem to present that problem. Fist thing I would do is open the image with the "cut" hair in the GIMP, drag and drop to open the replacement/extension hair on a new layer above that one, and dial the new layer's opacity back to about 50%. Then I would drag and rotate the "new" hair layer as required to align it with the "cut" hair image, and scale it to match. When a close enough match accomplished, save the work in progress as an XCF file and move on to stage two. Make the new hair layer fully opaque (i.e. visible), add a layer mask (see Layers dialog dock) and fill the new mask with gray, about midway between black and white. This will make the top layer about 50% transparent, but with a big difference: Paining with white while the mask is selected will make the new layer fully visible just where you want it to be, painting with black will "erase" the new layer from the image without actually deleting the pixels in question. The beauty part: You can "bring back" bits of the layer made invisible by adding black to the mask, by adding white to the same part of the mask. When something close to an acceptable blending of the new hair into the cut hair is done, save your work again and move on to stage three. In the layers dialog, left-click on your top layer and select "New from visible." Make sure the new layer is selected, then switch on the Smudge tool, get an appropriate brush, and start smearing and blending where new hair joins cut hair. With any luck, acceptable results should only take a few minutes. If you were working with higher resolution color images, this could be a very difficult and time consuming task. But the sample images provided suggest that combining them as required should not present any big obstacles. If you're new to this, finding the tools mentioned above and learning how they work should not be hard, search on this page as necessary: https://docs.gimp.org/2.8/en/ When you get this job done, you will be well on your way to knowing much more about photo editing, in the sense of being able to do things that amaze the general public - because they don't know how easy those things are. :o) ___ gimp-user-list mailing list List address:gimp-user-list@gnome.org List membership: https://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gimp-user-list List archives: https://mail.gnome.org/archives/gimp-user-list

[Gimp-user] Gimp channel mixer
Works for me using 2.9.7 portable used in multi-window mode (commit 1773cd9) from Partha's site (Windows 7 64-bit) I just set the red in red to zero and the green in red to 1.0 and vice versa then pressed OK. I didn't see a thumbnail but the active image changed as expected whilst editing, if I had the preview selected, and was changed as expected when I clicked OK. If this later version gives you the same problem could you list the exact steps that you are using and I will see if I can reproduce the problem. If you have the preview option selected does the active image change when you alter the channel mixer settings? >I'm trying to use the GIMP channel mixer to reverse the red and green >channels in a TIF image.

I'm trying to use the GIMP channel mixer to reverse the red and green channels in a TIF image. I'm using GIMP 2.9.6. After swapping the channels etc. and hitting OK, all that happens is that a very small thumbnail appears in the top left corner of the main image. I can see that the channels have been reversed in the thumbnail, but the main image remains unaltered. I cannot find a way to apply the changes to the main image, I'm very new to GIMP and image editing software, so I hope the solution isn't something any ten year old child could work out!

[Gimp-user] Loads slowly
I filed a bug notice some time ago regarding searching for fonts. I have version 2.8.22. Running under Windows 10, 64 bit. There was a temporary "fix" given where we were to rename a certain file. I did the suggestion, but it only worked the second time I opened gimp. all the times after (and still) it takes 50 seconds or more to search for fonts. Has anyone come up with a permanent fix for this problem? -- eingram25 (via www.gimpusers.com/forums) ___ gimp-user-list mailing list List address:gimp-user-list@gnome.org List membership: https://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gimp-user-list List archives: https://mail.gnome.org/archives/gimp-user-list

I have been trying to absorb Linux technical mishaps with everything else and decided I should maybe just walk away from the computer for a while. IGLO is the exact script I was thinking of, it still looks the same and works quite well. It's still a little moody and can take some non-intuitive tweaking to get exactly the layout you want but does the job. I will also try the Montage grid angle (is there anything GMIC can't do?).
