One of the most fantastic features of Gimp was it's ability to use a MIDI controller such as this:
It's now not possible to resize brushes because Gimp has no scale function. Scale was much better than the new size which goes to an absurd 10000 pixel brush. This means you can't use set value from MIDI as is done here:
I have to mouse around in UI or use my Wacom strip. The brilliant ergonomics of Gimp via MIDI is ruined.
In my movie class with the VS editor, we have discovered that an attractive collection of music files in .mid format (midi) play Ok in windows media player, but are unrecognised by VS.
Wikipedia gives up a lot of data on the .mid (midi) format, including why windows supports it, and its old, predates PC's let alone the internet. The plunging costs of storage and transmission bandwidth have pretty much made it a fossil. So, given that VS cannot read .mid files and it seems unlikely it ever will, is there a translation program around that can read .mid music files and then enable 'save in' formats that are readable by VS like .wav, mp3 et al.
When I use the Cut or Clear function with a graphic design I can punch a hole right through a layer or layers. But with a jpeg photo and duplicate layers all I get is that the selected area turns opaque white. There are work arounds, but it would be simpler to be able to turn a selected area transparent. So what gives? Running Windows 7.
Any way to make the "click" function into a keyboard shortcut in gimp. I use a mouse, but the clicking interferes with my strokes (I like to hover my mouse gently. This way is faster and more presice for me.) I ould like to know if I can use a key like backslash or "v" to replace the clicking action when using brushes.
I am trying to use the function to outline a border to text with the function "Path to text" but no matter how I try the path will only use 16-19 letters in one row.
I have read several guides on how to do this and no one mention anything about this issue. As long as I have 16 letters on one line it works, but I have more it will just skip them.
I write the text:
12345678901234567890
Then I click an choose "path to text", but when I do it will only create a path of 1234567890123456 and skip the rest. If I write text on several rows it will use up to 16 letter on each row.
I would like to obtain a black and white image of a photograph of a book page.
My attempt to do this is by running the threshold function over theentire image. This appears to give the desired result, but onlylocally. It appears that the optimum parameters of the thresholdfunction vary by position (i.e., according to some scalar field), withone extreme in the center of the glare and then radiating outward. Sojust running the threshold function over the entire image withconstant parameters always gives sub-optimum contrast for 75% of theimage. Will I have to find a way to run the threshold function withnon-constant parameters, or is there some other tool to do the job?
I'm new to Gimp and Ive been told that Gimp has a function similar to Alien Skin Smart Fill. Is this correct and if so where do I find it and what is it called on Gimp
I would like to create a colored circular text using File > Create > Logo > Circular text ... but everytime I try, the circular text is displayed in black ... ! How can I change this and choose the color for the circular text ?
I'm trying to build a command to replace AutoCAD's "DI" command, to give distance and delta x, y, and z values in decimal and imperial, and keep the angles in XY plane and out of XY plane.
I'm trying to be able to have a function run another function with the secondary function being passed as an argument to the first. I'm trying to create a recursive function and the recursive part works great. I just need to be able to have the recursive function run other functions to actually do stuff.
Here is something I found that should do what I need, mainly run a function from a function name in a variable.
Sub test() Dim ftnName As String Dim argument As String Dim result As String ftnName = "myFunction" argument = "cat" result = Application.Run(ftnName, argument) MsgBox resultEnd SubFunction myFunction(inString As String) As String myFunction = inString & " has " & Len(inString) & " letters."End Function
However I get the error "object required" on the "result = Application.Run(ftnName, argument)" line. So I'm guessing the Inventor VBA doesn't like this method of doing this. I'm just hoping there is a way to do this or this function will be useless or reduced to hardcoding functions which still defeats the purpose.
I'm trying to slice an image using the filter-web-slice function but I was wondering if there is a way to customize the function or change its properties in the Python-Fu. I need gimp to slice by columns (start in the top left corner slice each grid down the column then proceed to the next column. Right now all I can get gimp to do is cut by rows. Normally gimps function would be fine but I need the image labeled a particular way so I can use the individual files in a map for a game. I'm making a 118 images so renaming them by hand would take too long.
Why the "Text along path" feature hovers the text so far above the currently active path? (in my case, the space between the path and the text is about 3 times the height of the currently used font!). I've been told that the letters should lie on top of or at least closer to the path instead. How can I move the text closer to the path?
I work in AI more than PS, so my habits from AI are hard to break. One interface difference I ran across was the "esc" key functionality. In AI hitting "esc" saves current changes in the symbol editor and moves the user back to the artboard. In PS, hitting "esc" cancels any editing tool, such as "transform" or "Puppet Warp" without saving changes. While the PS "esc" function is probably more appropriate, it is annoying for someone who is used to the AI worflow. Image my frustration when I worked diligently on a "Puppet Warp" session and lost it all by hitting "esc". Noticed this inconsistancy in the two programs?
How do I make my CS6 function like CS3? I just upgraded. Every image I have opened is a new window on my taskbar. I open up 50+ images at a time quite often and I just have like 50 little windows on my taskbar. I also hate the tabbed view cause I drag and drop images around on each other all the time.
What this automate function is in CS6 does? Under File-->Automate, I see a "Plug-in on new layer". However, when I click nothing happens..I am wondering if this was installed with another plug-in. What this does or how to use it?
In Photoshop CS5 I keep bringing up the Bridge function when clicking on Curves and Exposure. How do I get it back to going to the function I click on, instead of Bridge?
How to get back to the old way to zoom in CorelDRAW? In version X5 the zoom function doesn't work as i did in earlier versions. I want the view to center to where I have the cursor when I zoom in or out.
I use the zoom function on a photo, how do I save the zoomed version? In other words, I want to be able to save without requiring the user to click and zoom.
I'm using the Extract function to highlight a section of an image I want to retain. When I click on "Preview" the section I want to retain is cut, green lines and all, and the rest of the image is retained!
I have a problem with spline mapping function. I have a mesh imported from autocad and after I create a spline from mesh borders to use for mapping. I don't understand because the result are incomprehensible.
I use After Effects CS5 for Mac (Version 10.0.458) and I am needing to add some stability to a 4 minute clip that is essentially an Evil Dead ripoff where we see the POV of the evil 'force' that is travelling through a wooded area, close to the ground. I shot this on a HV20, mounted on a mono-pod, and basically walked through the woods keeping the shot as steady as possible....still, it's not that steady. I am needing to speed this up by about 15X and without stabilizing it, it looks absolutely horrible, quite un-useable. I know how to use the stabilize function is CS5 but that is only when I have a single point to use as reference to stabilize all other movement. This footage is constantly moving and so I have absolutely not idea how stabilizing this would work.
I have recorded quite a few actions in PS 7 but only recently started making a note of what keyboard shortcuts call what action. As a result, quite a few of the available function keys are 'taken' but I don't know what they do and have so far not managed to find out. Failing all else I can delete the whole lot and start again, making better notes. But I'd rather not. So;
I have a problem with Photoshop CC and the 3D functions. I cannot access them in any way. I cannot choose them in any menu, like they aren't in the software. In the options i activated 3D and so on, but it still isn't there.
I have an integrated intel hd graphics family... is that the problem?But i can use high end programs like cinema4d without any issues. So whats going wrong Photoshop?
My system is running windows 7 64 bit, photoshop is 64 bit version too.
