Re: [Gimp-user] Imported SVG looks blurry in Gimp
Steve Kinney, thanks for your help. I followed your instructions (I'm using Gimp 2.10.8). The dockable path dialogue is also available on the layer dock in this version. I created a new path, as you suggested but then I couldn't find an import image at the bottom of the dock. However, if I right click on the empty path there is a menu with the option "import path" where I can select the .svg image but I get an error message "No paths found..." Did I have to create a path in Inkscape? Because I have no clue. My purpose was just scaling down an image. Thanks! Owen, I don't want to waste too much time for something like this. It would be much easier for me to draw a new coat than wasting too much time to resize the one I've made. It's just an item of armor for an iconset in RPG Maker. If it is a simple process ok, otherwise I won't bother any longer, I've already wasted an entire day yesterday. Thanks to you too for your help!

One way to visualise what is happening is to open the original image as say 480X480 and overlay a grid of 20px. Then you will notice what each pixel covers. You will also get an idea of the anti aliasing will do which is what you will see when you magnify the 24 x 24 px image.

[Gimp-user] Imported SVG looks blurry in Gimp
Hi everyone. I'm making some very small object icons for a game. Each icon is 24 x 24 pixels. I imported in Inkscape an image I created with Gimp which was originally 500 x 500 pixels. Saved it as an SVG image (a blue coat with red buttons) with the following parameters: Size: 24 x 24 pixels DPI: 90 (it cannot be changed or the size will change as well) As an .svg file the image looks perfect (I checked the result with Image Viewer). When imported in Gimp with the same parameters, the image is very blurry and impossible to define. The sharpen filter is of no use. If I change the parameters when importing as an SVG image by increasing the DPI to 300, the result is still very bad and blurry. After testing, I discovered that only if the image is increased, in this case 74 x 74 pixels then you get a decent result. However, this result is useless to me because my image must be 24 x 24 pixels. I read several forums and blogs about how to improve the quality of imported SVGs in Gimp and tried everything they suggested - even when it did not make sense like enlarging an image and scaling it down again or scaling the layer... I tried exporting to png directly from Inkscape but the result is the same as in Gimp: too blurry to make sense. In Blender there is mathematical function where you can multiply the number of pixels in an image, I wonder if Gimp has a plugin or an easy way to do the same. Ideally, I would love the image in Gimp to reflect the same high quality you get with a vector image. Does anyone have any suggestions about this or knows of any plugins that may help? Thanks!

I just wish I had time to experiment more with it and see what neat effects I can get with the various filters. A number don't work, for some reason, but most do so overall, I'm completely happy with it. Peace...

G'MIC rules, there is none higher, they can have my G'MIC when they pry it out of my cold, dead computer. All Hail the Mighty G'MIC! But seriously, I do use some of its 'repair' filters quite often. A lot of the others seem more like toys to me, but I'm sure that users with other needs regard some functions I only play with as entirely practical tools. :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

The downsides are that in difficult images I can spend hours deciding on the best sharpening filter for that particular image (on most pics, the gimp's own unsharp mask is good enough), and when looking at old jpegs I can be tempted to try all the 'film' filters. ĸen -- I'm saving up 22 shillings and 10 pence (almost a pound!) per week to buy an ARM-13. http://www.antipope.org/charlie/blog-static/2018/11/brexit-means-brexit.html ___ 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
Re: [Gimp-user] How many people use g'mic?
I use GMIC nearly every time I use GIMP. For both image repair (I'm typically restoring old photograps, see, e.g., Repair, Anisotropic smoothing!) and its excellent artistic affects.
