[Gimp-user] Splash Image

[Madeleine Fisher]

I was just reading the list of tasks left on developing GIMP 2.8 and one of
them was "Decide on a splash image." Is this open for submissions or are
they just trying to pick one from the entries they already have?

Re: [Gimp-user] Tablet

[Madeleine Fisher]

There should be some response if the tablet itself will actually move the
mouse. If it clicks, it should be received by the GIMP. The other thing you
have to do to get the GIMP to read your tablet is enable it in the user
preferences. This is under Edit>preferences  Then go to the label that says
Extended Input Devices. From there it's not so bad.

[Gimp-user] Layer Masking

[Madeleine Fisher]

Hello! I am an artist trying to create a certain effect that I can't seem
to figure out on my own:
In a picture, I have areas in shadow and areas in light. I want the light
parts to be the "real colors" (brown barrels, red apples, etc.), but in the
shaded areas, I want it to be purple--perhaps a purple version of the
"real" colors.
Any thoughts? (Especially ones that aren't too technical?)

Thanks in advance!

[Gimp-user] Misc RC (noob) problems

[Madeleine Fisher]

I just downloaded the new RC, and it works really well, but I have a
problem--when I use my tablet and it goes off the screen, the pressure
settings will suddenly switch off. Is that something that I can fix? Or
will it work better in future releases? Some with the free-move (or
whatever)--when I move the view around sometimes I have to minimize the
whole GIMP to get it to refresh properly.

Also, just if anybody has any good advice: sometimes when I hit the hotkeys
I hit my mousepad, too (on my laptop), and GIMP will sporadically spaz
between the "default" settings and the one's I've put on my tablet to draw
with at the current moment. I wouldn't ask for help, but it continues for
minutes afterward sometimes. It makes it difficult to draw a line and is
just kind of annoying. Any thoughts?

PS These are small problems, and overall I'd like to thank the GIMP guys so
much for the update. The improved dynamics have really helped me out at my
job.

Re: [Gimp-user] I have a shaped image (in this case 3D text) with a transparant background. How do I overlay a gritty texture layer on the shaped image only?

[Madeleine Fisher]

Set your layer with the texture on it to different modes--I don't really
know what would work best for this, but if you just try going through the
list you should find what you're looking for.

I always kind of enjoy seeing how the different modes look, anyway :)

Good luck!

Re: [Gimp-user] Creating Transparent WaterMark

[Madeleine Fisher]

You can create an image or text layer to hold your watermark. Once that's
ready, set the opacity (a sliding bar found just above the layers) to
whatever you'd like. If that doesn't quite create the effect you want, you
can try adjusting the Mode (just above the opacity bar). Try combining them
until you get what you're after.

Good luck!

Re: [Gimp-user] Troubles in the Toolbox

[Madeleine Fisher]

I know this doesn't solve your problem, but a handy shortcut to use to
change the size of your brush (or pencil or whatever) are the bracket keys
[ ] . The left bracket makes it smaller and the right one enlarges it.

Good luck!

[Gimp-user] Gradients

[Madeleine Fisher]

I have recently discovered that there is more to gradients in GIMP than I
had previously thought: the different varieties of pre-sets, as well as the
"off-set" tool. Are there any other cool tricks that anybody knows? How to
make a new gradient of your own? Any other cool stuff? (Being able to
manipulate gradients would be cool.)

I'm just an amateur, so I'm not trying to say new stuff needs to be
added--I'm just trying to learn.

Thanks!

Re: [Gimp-user] How to setup the maximum value of brush size?

[Madeleine Fisher]

You can, however, use the bracket keys [ and ] to change the size 1 pixel
at a time. It's a little tedious, but it can go quite quickly and will
always adjust in whole numbers. I also like to do it because it doesn't
require selecting
it with my mouse and breaking up my drawing flow.

Re: [Gimp-user] Line thickness not working...?

[Madeleine Fisher]

You can change the settings for your brush's pressure by going to the
Tools/Settings tab (while using the Paintbrush or pencil tool) and checking
out the Dynamics button (a blue arrow with red dots trailing it). You can
also go to the top right corner of the Settings box, go to Add Tab, and
then open a box called Paint Dynamics to create new settings of your own,
etc.

Re: [Gimp-user] bucket fill

[Madeleine Fisher]

You could make your path a selection and then fill that selection.

There's a button at the bottom of the Paths tab that looks like a
dotted-line square--that's Path to Selection. Click that, then fill. Should
be fine.


Good luck!

Re: [Gimp-user] Blending 2 images into 1

[Madeleine Fisher]

I think one of the first things to check out is the Colors menu on the top
file bar. There are lots of options:

Color Balance (changes c, m, y in midtones, highlights, and shadows)
Hue-Saturation (you can shift around the colors in a selection)
Colorize (Makes everything different shades of a single color--can create a
sepia effect, for example)
Brightness-Contrast
Threshold (makes everything either black or white)
Levels
Curves

The last two options are REALLY useful for fine-tuned changes, but they can
be kind of difficult to understand. Just play around with them and you'll
get the hang of it.

Good luck!

I used to have to go and click the New Layer button every time until I
discovered this handy shortcut: Ctrl+Shift+N
It makes your floating selection a new layer without having to move away
from the target area! (On a similar[?] note, Ctrl+Shift+D is useful for
duplicating a layer so you can have an unedited copy and then do something
crazy to the other copy.)

Re: [Gimp-user] Gimp 2.8.6 Windows - Queries new Plug-ins at every startup

I actually use GIMP to make my webcomic weekly. I don't think it's useless.
I just had to learn it--same as any other software.

Re: [Gimp-user] Putting a GIF on top another GIF

[Madeleine Fisher]

It sounds like you're getting some of the same problems I've had. With
Gimp-gifs, each layer is a frame. The white frames are probably white
full-screen layers.

What I do is just "take a picture" of the frame that I want (front, middle,
and back in the correct positions) by pressing Ctrl+Shift+V. That copies
the visible. Then I put all the frames I want in order--frame 1=layer 1,
frame 2=layer 2. It's tedious, and there are probably better solutions, but
that's mine.

(I made these gifs with it, so it is doable

Of course, you can customize shortcuts, etc., but it's also nice to know
what they are in general. If I do a post on selections I'll send a link to

Re: [Gimp-user] Difficulty creating shadows

[Madeleine Fisher]

If you look below the toolbox, you should see the "tool options" tab, which
has a little icon with sliders on it. Click that, then adjust Brush Size
either by dragging the sliding control, typing the number in.

Alternatively you can skip that and just use the bracket keys [ and ] to
decrease and increase the size.  [ = make brush smaller (if you hold it
down, it should go to one), ] = make brush bigger.

Good luck!

Re: [Gimp-user] gimp users matter

[Madeleine Fisher]

I actually go through this process frequently--I create a webcomic, and I
like to work on a large file (about 3000x4000). To publish it to the web I
resize to 750 px wide. I like to have both copies, but a Resize-on-Export
function would be helpful for me. In order to preserve the xcf and not
accidentally lose that large-size data, my current workflow is:
Save the xcf
Export it, full-size
Open the export (usually a png)
Resize the png
export the png to another file name.

I can do that fairly quickly with keyboard shortcuts, but if I were to have
the option to resize, I could create both copies (large-size and
small-size) from the original xcf.

Re: [Gimp-user] How to hide border overspill ? ?

It seems like the easiest solution would be to make these things into
separate layers:

TOP - black border

MIDDLE - graphic

BOTTOM - white background

The buttons are deceptive little devils. Once you toggle them, they appear

[Gimp-user] New Tablet

I just got a brand new intuos pen tablet (no touch capabilities). I am
