I use Win 7 32 bits, and Gimp 2.8.2
When i go to filters-decor i see both the Stencil chrome and Stencil carve options grayed out.
I of course made sure no alpha channel is present , and my picture is black and white ( jpg).
Is there a way to get this filter to work, or do i need to go to photoshop ?
I created a logo which was 1.8cm sq & used the chrome filter on it.
I now need to make a much larger version of the logo & after creating all theother parts of my logo ok, the Chrome filter gives completly the wrong effect?
Maybe 2.8 has this option already, ive already downloaded just not installed it. i plan on doing it when ive finished this little personal project im working on.
Im having trouble finding anyway to assign a layer as a layer mask.
this all started because i want to create a gray scale bump map of my texture map. so i duplicated it and decompose it into separate RGB gryscale layers and the alpha layer.
problem is, the alpha is no longer the alpha. what i ideally would like, is to combine the alpha with which ever combination of the channels i decide to use. then paste that back into my original file as the bump map.... so far not having luck
I'm wanting to create an image giving the impression of a square, flat plate, with a raised thin (1mm) border.
It has to have a chrome metallic look. If possible, showing a stippling texture on the inside of the border.
How would you make tabs like the one in the screen-shot just using gimp?

First I opened an image and then opened a Curves adjustment layer. Because I only wanted to change the luminosity values, I then changed the Blending Mode from Normal to "Luminosity". Then I made a minor Curves adjustment, followed by forming a new layer via copy of my original background layer.
At that time, I was unable to access the filter gallery. I therefore converted that layer I had just created into a smart object but, as the screen shot demonstrates, am still unable to access the filter gallery.
I am running CS6 on a Mac and I am working in Adobe RGB image mode, 16 bit.
I am using photoshop CS and im trying to use the Filter --> Render --> lighting effect but it is grayed out and I can't use it, as well as the lens flare effect.

Graduated filter works ok, its center is always inside the workspace.
I have a layer which is white with a clouds render but when I want to go the next step I cannot access the twirl tool or the zig zag tool. I notice this is the only filter I cannot access.why or what I should do to be able to access it for my project.

The circle at the top and in the foreground is the one that I want to map to a cylinder, but no matter what I do I can't seem to get ride of the other two circles, the one at the bottom and the one in the background. I can erase them after the mapping's finished but I was hoping to find a way to prevent them appear in the first place.
I've found this image in a new book I bought and want to know how I can do this with photoshop.

How to use the background (all the white) as a "stencil". this way i can use a bold brush to "airbrush" some shading and shadows onto her body, without having to worry about it spraying outside of the lines. i know it can be done, i have done it myself in fact, i just can't remember how. I have the plug-in called "isolate lineart", just FYI.
View 1 Replies View RelatedI'm trying to do a black stencil over a photo. To do a black layer is easy. To do transparent shapes in that layer thus creating a stencil is easy as well. But here is my challenge...
Creating Letter Stencils. See-through transparent letters, so the picture is seen only through the letters... I don't seem to be able to choose Transparent Letters to write on the black canvas.
Is there a way I could wrap a stencil around the object ?
For instance.. on a cube.. I use the stencil, straight line to wax a hard surface.
But on the edges, it breaks because it projects from the front.
any way to wrap the stencil around the object so the line continues without breaking on the edges ?
I am using Mac 10.7.5 and Gimp 2.8
Earlier today Gimp crashed every time I tried to open a .xfc image.
I eventually resorted to uninstalling Gimp and downloading it again.
It worked fine until I stared using the Filters - specifically the Alpha to Logo > Glossy.
The first time is just, but worked after I Force Quit Gimp and tried again.
However, since then Gimp just hangs every time I try to use the Glossy filter.
I've removed the x Quartz X11 I downloaded for earlier versions of Gimp from my utilities folder. Still no good.
There is another X11 application in the same Utilities folder, but I don't know if I put it there or it belongs with Lion.
I don't know how there was two X11 apps, but they do have different logos.
I want to make a normal map with Gimp.
All the tutorials say go to Filters>Map>Normal Map This option doe not show in my Gimp.
Is this an error? Do I need a plugin?
Having a problem in Gimp 2.6.11 on Windows 7 x64 system. You can watch the video, linked below, but the basics are: I do a selection, scale the selection, make a new layer out of the floating selection result. I try to run a RGB Noise filter on the new layer and no preview shows in the filter dialog or it doesn't show correctly. If I anchor the floating selection into the original layer, instead of making a new layer out of it, the preview shows correctly. Is this a bug... or?
Here is the video link: [URL]
I want to write a Java program that mimics the plasma filter. However, my first few (as in 30-40) attempts have not been very successful. If GIMP provides algorithms or source code for the filters anywhere?
View 1 Replies View RelatedI'm learning how to write script-fu scripts. I've managed to resize an image, but I would like to use a filter from within the script-fu script, applying it to the image after it's been resized. More specifically, I'd like to run the Filters->Generic->Dilate filter on the image, before saving it. I've searched on Google for how to do this, but I can't find any references to using filters from within a script.
View 5 Replies View RelatedSearched three fora: this, General, and <I forget>. I looked for a Developer thread thinking this might already be a requested feature, but did not find one.
When I have a filter window open, most often there is a "preview" window--of fixed size--which I can pan, but not so far not figure out how to zoom to see detail.
I wish I may I wish I might:
- be able to resize the "preview" window
- be able to zoom in to see the effects of the filter better
I am running Mac OS X 10.8.3, Gimp 2.8.4 and Python 2.6.5
I remember using Slice in the past, but I can't remember if it was before upgrading to Gimp 2.8. Now, there are only 2 items (Image Map and Semi-Flatten) under the Filters/Web menu. Slice isn't there.
