[Gimp-user] Can't copy and paste into same layer?

Dealing with this separately.

The Gimp move tool will move the layer with the first solid layer it comes
across.

Even if you are on say the background layer, enable the move tool, (move active
layer OFF)

Click on a solid part of the layer you want to move, that layer becomes
temporarily active, click to move it. Let go the mouse.

Returns automatically to original layer.

Do yourself a favour and forget about how PS works.

[Gimp-user] Can't copy and paste into same layer?

When you copy some image or selection and paste into an image you get a Floating
Selection (Pasted Layer) (1) see: screenshot A

You then have a choice, Anchor the layer (2) which merges the pasted item down
to the layer underneath it or Make a new layer (3)

If you want to move the pasted item at a later stage make it a new layer.

If you have several layers (4) see: screenshot B and want to move together,
click in the layer dialogue to toggle the lock on/off (5) The layers that are
locked together will move as one unit. Use the move tool (6) and to prevent
accidentally moving the base layer enable Move the active layer (7)

[Gimp-user] Can't copy and paste into same layer?

2018-01-01 Thread Maisie
Ok, so I figured out how to paste a floating layer onto an existing layer - but
it becomes a part of the layer and I can't move it around anymore. I thought I
saw in another paid program the ability to move multiple objects around in a
single layer - is that not possible with the gimp? Seems like a basic function
to me that is a huge time saver is lacking - having to mouse into each layer
before you move an object is really frustrating and time consuming

[Gimp-user] Can't copy and paste into same layer?

2018-01-01 Thread Maisie
I'm trying to copy an image and paste it into the same layer, but can't seem to
do that.
I've read the manual at this point: 5.3.7 Copy and Paste and it doesn't seem to
say anything except how to paste to a new layer. I've seen a couple videos but
the teachers just confused me.

How do you paste into the same layer?

Re: [Gimp-user] Help

2018-01-01 Thread 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"

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:

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.

When opting out of threading, like outlined in prior response, you are
free to manage threads; ideally using the multi-
threading APIs of glib which are platform independent. The GeglBuffer
API itself is written to be thread safe.

[Gimp-user] Unsupported color mode CMYK

Hi all,
I am facing an issue when trying to open a pre-configured PSD file due to an
unsupported color mode: CMYK.
Did anybody come across such an issue before and found a way to fix it?

Your help is much appreciated!

As you found Gimp does not support cyan-magenta-yellow-black (cmyk) colour
space.

Gimp is a red-green-blue (RGB) bitmap editor. Apart from that, support for PS
.psd files is very limited.

As a suggestion, open the image in the free application Krita see: www.krita.org

That also has limited support for PS layers, depends on the .psd image

Krita can convert the color-space to RGB and if required to 8 bit. Export as a
tiff and open the tiff in Gimp as layers.

The only real solution is pay for Photoshop.
