[Gimp-user] Lighten / Darken tool is where?

2014-03-07 Thread pfaoro
I've found most of the tools I want (color balance / lasso, etc.) but I can't
find the tool to lighten / darken images, selections, or layers.  Where can I
find such a tool?  Is it in a drop-down? what is it called? is it a toolbox
icon?

Thanks!

We have three tools for this:
- for the easy way: the Brightness/Contrast Tool,
- for the intermediate way: the Levels Tool,
- for the expert way: the Curves Tool.

You find them in the toolbox, in the Colors menu or in the Tools/Color
Tools menu.

Kind regards,

Sven

[Gimp-user] Correcting grainy resolution?

2014-01-26 Thread pfaoro
Thanks;  I'll do the best I can by converting to a bitmap but I'm afraid vector
files and Inkscape leave me a stranger in a strange land.

[Gimp-user] Correcting grainy resolution?

2014-01-24 Thread pfaoro
Is there a (simple) way to blow up a snapshot originally take with a slow,
cheap, disposable camera without having the result so grainy that it isn't
usable?

[Gimp-user] Difficulty creating shadows

2013-10-20 Thread pfaoro
How can I reduce the size of the Pencil tool to as little as 1 or 2 pixels?  I
want to draw fairly fine shadows, and have figured out that creating shadows
requires smudging or blurring gradients of black-to-grey, but the default
options in the Brushes toolbox are far, far too large.

Thanks

[Gimp-user] Clearing the clipboard?

2013-08-11 Thread pfaoro
Is it possible to clear the clipboard without shutting down entirely?  How?

I tend to multi-task to excess and this is causing me to mess up more than
usual... which is a lot anyway :-)

Thanks!

[Gimp-user] Blending 2 images into 1

2013-08-05 Thread pfaoro
My hobby, if it can be called that, is creating comic images of individuals by
combining two unrelated images into one.  EXAMPLE:  Placing the head of my
brother-in-law on the body of Quasimodo (the Hunchback of Notre Dame).

I'm totally new with GIMP and I've figured out a good bit, such as using the
magnetic lasso to copy-paste a selection from one image into another,  but I
can't figure out how to match skin tones and resolutions so the result appears
to be a single image.  At best, I can get close but not at all close enough.

Can somebody point me in the right direction, at least to identify the tools I
should be using?

I'm by no means a techie, so please be gentle with me :-)

Thanks!
