My GIMP 2.8. closes down immediately after exporting an image. When I overwrite it, it doesn't happen. How can I prevent GIMP from closing down after exporting images?

View 1 Replies View RelatedI just installed the adobe cs6 creative suite yesterday or the day before, but today was the first time I tried to launch PS. Each successive time that I've tried, I have gotten these two messages immediately after the program finishes loading:
I can't go to the preferences panel to attempt to fix the problem addressed in the first dialogue because PS will not stay open long enough to allow me to do so. I also googled the issue and the majority of people seemed to say that holding down ctrl+alt+shift as the program loaded would present me with a dialogue that would fix the problem, but when I tried it nothing happened.
Adobe 5 closes immediately when I click the "Print" button.

I have an image with transparent areas. I have an alpha channel. When I save the file, I do use the "Save colour values from transparent pixels" for png and for gif I check "Interlace" option.
I have done the rigth click -> colour to alpha. What happens when I do this is that some white parts become black.
Things I have noted, perhaps that doesn't matter , is that when checking the alpha channel in the layer tool, it is white and not transparent.
The image is attached.
One last thing, I did copy the image from ConeptDraw (visio-alike application on Mac) before trying to save it with transparency.
This is driving me nuts, I have struggled for hours. I have done it before (way back), but something is different now.
If I save an image I'm working on, GIMP closes on me. It's merely annoying if I save as an xcf. If I forgot to do that first (I try not to, but it happens), I have only that final image, which usually isn't the only one I wanted.
Today I was cropping photos for various closeups. I copied and saved a selection I wanted to a new image and saved as a jpg, then both the old and new image closed. I then opened two photos in separate images. Cropped one, saved it and it was okay. Undid the cropping and cropped another section and saved it and Poof! Gone again along with the other photo that I had not touched, yet.
When I used GIMP in Windows it never did this. I'm now using Ubuntu and it is almost always doing this. I was under the impression that GIMP and Ubuntu worked well together. This is not what I'd call working together well.
What do I need to do to fix this problem? I have checked my settings, reset them, returned them to default, put them back to my preferences, all to no avail. Size of the image seems to make no difference as it happens to small kilo images as well as multi gig images.
My Histogram is always gone when opening Gimp. It says "recently closed" but I never close it. I want it to stay open the way it used to.
View 2 Replies View RelatedI am wondering if this could really be the intended LR behaviour? I start from a smart collection, one of the criteria is "has no adjustments".
Ok, as soon as I move the first slider in develop module, it no longer matches that criterion. But that should be no reason for LR to force me to immediately stop the develop edits on the selected image.
It immediately unselects, and I stay in Develop module with a grey window and the message "no image selected". (It does not move on to the next image, which still matches the criterion.)
I would expect that when I return to Library module, it would return to the same smart collection where I started, but I would not find my last developed images there, as they no longer match the criterion. But that LR grabs it immediately out of my develop selection?
Strange enough it stays the same, when I first explicitely selected all images while in Library/smart collection.
My expectation would be that I have this selection fixed to work on in Develop module. Similar to when I select any images from survey view and go to Develop module.
But no, the only workaround I found is:
Start from the smart collection, ctrl a to select all, then arbitrarily click on another collection withput this criterion - selection stays fixed - then move over to Develop module.
This is LR4.1 on Win7.
Definitely my functional specification would be: never take off an image from Develop unless the user moves on to another image. So ignore from where an image was picked.
Would you consider this a bug? Or a "feature"?
Do you see the same in LR4.2 or 4.3RC? Behaviour on a Mac?
I've been trying to replicate the problem, but it appears to be intermittent. It happens on multiple computers, we're using 2.8.4 on Windows 8 at the moment.
Scenario: GIMP is open with multiple files.
Browse a folder in explorer and select OPEN WITH GIMP or just OPEN. And a GIMP startup splash screen appears and reloads the GIMP application automatically closing and losing any work that was in progress on the prior GIMP screens.
I am a graphics designer that uses GIMP and Cinema 4D on Wine. I find it very difficult to be able to take logos that I have made and have them be compatable with C4D. If there is a function already that makes this possible that would be great but for now I can's seem to find one.
View 2 Replies View RelatedIm having issues when exporting an animation. I have set the time i want each layer displayed in the edit layer attributes section and entering a ms value. When i select layers, animation. play animation its perfect.
However. when i export it takes the values from that screen in preference over my specified values in each layer attribute. Explain the items in the export animation export window for me .
When I export "most' of my projects, I've extracted the backgrounds out of them...they transfer "extremely" sharp to my assigned folder. But every now and then, no matter how many times you try to "re" export it, the picture quality is less sharp than I desire. And in this case, it is an image copied from the same page, as other items I've extracted from a magazine, and they clean up and export fine..this one doesn't.
These are black and white pictures, which I am coloring with Gimp, and then transferring to a folder on my computer. Is there anything I can do to "sharpen" the image before I send it. As the picture sets on Gimp right now (with background extracted/and colored) it looks "perfect". Once I export it, it gets slightly distorted?
Any easy way to do this or get a plugin that will export as SWF? I did a google check and found some plugin from 2009 that seemed to require the ability to write script and program. Maybe the new version will have this?
View 4 Replies View RelatedI have some experience using GIMP but I have just completed my first animation for my wedding invitation.
I have used GAP and am happy with the Playback and am ready to export to gif - something I have successfully done before in smaller images.
However, when I export to/save as gif, only the frame I have open at the time is exporting, not the whole animation. I have tried this on my two different systems - using GIMP 2.8.6 on Windows and 2.8.12 (I think) on Ubuntu but I am still stuck.
I'm not sure what information is relevant but I believe my frames are named correctly (000001.xcf - 000268.xcf) and as I said, the playback is working exactly as I want it to. Just not the gif!
I have spent some time trying, in PaintShop Pro 7, to create an image with a transparent background to use as a layer over an underlying jpg.
I have now done it in Gimp, and tried it over another image in Gimp - it works. But when I export the image either as a GIF or as a JPG there is no transparency when I paste it over another image in PaintShop Pro.
Perhaps it would be easier to do the whole thing in Gimp, but it would be convenient to be able to do it in PSP too.
So i want to cut a coin out of a picture and export it to a picture with the sidelength being the diameter of the cut out coin. How am i able to save it in a new picture with that size without the white space around it?

View 1 Replies View RelatedI am trying to export very small (490 x 121) 1-bit graphics out of GIMP as .pcx files. With my working .xcf pulled up, I go to Mode> Indexed and select "Use black and white (1-bit) palette" from the Indexed Color Conversion box. Then I export my graphic as a .pcx, but the graphic is not 1-bit, it is 8-bit, the file size is around 10k, instead of being around 3-4k like it should be.
I am using GIMP 2.8.0 on a Windows XP box. I've attached my .xcf for reference.
I have scoured the net for any Script-Fu or Batch to do this, and only find old code that is no longer good for gimp 2.6. For some absolutely insane reason (as far as I am concerned), gimp has failed time and time again (since their inception) to actually make it available to export multiple images at the same time. I literally have 300 layers, and for me to crop them all and save them as images would take an entire day.
Why hasn't this been made available? Is there any code or anything I can use to accomplish this task in Gimp 2.6? Photoshop allows it, and has since its inception! Why not Gimp? Is it that difficult to create? Are there really no plugins to do this?
Basically, I am trying to use an alpha layer/channel to export a picture that is transparent except for a grass clump that is colored green over the alpha layer. So the picture looks like a solid green rectangle, but is actually a green blade of grass.
Problem is, I cannot get the alpha layer to work. I can't follow the tutorial as it is in photoshop, and random videos on-line haven't worked.
(Here is the tutorial: [URL]...... from 08:40 - 09:30)
(I have also attached my practice file as a TGA)
The image is correct when I export it to jpg or png, but the text is wrongly rendered when I export to pdf. Not always, in fact: three covers are OK. In the fourth one, the first two letters of the author's name are set in a smaller body. In the fifth cover, two lines of the title are placed to high, and convert the author's name, and the third line of the title is missing.
I cannot understand what occurs, and what characteristics of the cover triggers what seems to be a bug. I'm using GIMP 2.8 on Ubuntu 12.10.
I'm having issues with the 64-bit version of Photoshop CS6. Immediately after attempting to open an existing file or create a new one, Photoshop completely freezes, with no error messages/dialogues, and I end up having to force close it from Windows Task Manager. This happens every single time. I had this same issue with the beta, and it continues into the full release. I've tried uninstalling and re-installing it multiple times to no avail.
I haven't had this issue with previous versions of Photoshop (CS 5 & 5.5), and the 32-bit version of CS6 runs fine. However, for obvious reasons, I would prefer to use the 64-bit version of the software to take full advantage of what my machine is capable of.I'm running this on a HP Envy 17 laptop, with an Intel Core i7 processor (1st-gen), an AMD Radeon HD 5850M graphics card, and 8GB of RAM.
When I make a change to my image (paste, deletes, fills or make layer adjustments) the picture doesn't update until I zoom in or out or click on another tool.

Photoshop CC shuts down immediately after it´s started. There no different if i start it from Lightroom or direct. I just install PS cc and lightroom i have a windows 7 laptop.
View 5 Replies View RelatedAfter an apparent successful install of Photoshop CS4, both with a valid serial number and as a trial, PS crashes at the blue splash screen with "encountered error and needs to close", and just shuts down.
My system is a Core2Quad, 9550, running Vista Ultimate 64, 8 gb ram, with a ATI 4850 512 MB card. This is a virgin computer built for Lightroom 2 (which runs like hell on the machine) and PS, with NO other apps running except virus protection. (AVS? that came with the mother board.)
support files, all of the MB, Vista, and ATI drivers updated, talked to support for one hour, and still no resolution. I do know that it generates the GPUInitfail file, but does still not launch or get any further after it generates that file. I have cleared temp, prefetch, re-installed several times and still nothing.
I am working in AutoCad MEP 2013 and have some drawings where I have xref'd in a tif file for a background. When I initially open the drawing the tif has to be reloaded. If I do this right away after opening the drwing it says it cant be found. If I wait let's say 5-10 minutes and go back and try again then it will load. the tif is set to relative path. It's like the computer is taking a long time to find the file. This is not happening with every drawing in which I have an xref attached to a drawing. Sometimes all the background load immediately and sometimes they behave like this.

View 5 Replies View RelatedThis behavior started in LR2. Thinking back it may be related to OSX upgrade to Snow Leopard. After I hit print, the print job is sent to the printer and almost immediately “disappears” like nothing was sent. I have also gotten an error message of “/Library/Printers/EPSON/InkjetPrinter2/Filter/rastertoescpll.app/Con tents/MacOS/rastertoescpll failed”. This only occurs in Lightroom. My workaround is to take the image into Photoshop and print from there. This happens with both of my Epson printers and also with an HP LaserJet, so I think it is a LR problem and not an Epson problem. All drivers for all printers updated to latest available for Snow Leopard. The behavior continued with LR3. Fixed itself for awhile, then in the middle of printing a series of prints, started again. I cannot print from within LR at all. MacBook Pro 2.16 core 2 duo, OSX 10.6.4, LR3, Photoshop CS3.
Through google searches I found the “rastertoescpll failed” issues reported after Snow Leopard, but they were related to Epson printers, and not just LR related and fixed with driver updates. This has not worked for me.
I really like the LR print module.
Is there any way to export coordinates of a point created using the paths tool? I'm trying to determine the distance of each of the points in the attached picture from the blue mid line.
