GIMP :: Create 16 Bits Test Pattern To Be Used In Digital Cinema
Feb 16, 2013
I need to create a 16 bits test pattern to be used in Digital Cinema. I have downloaded Gimp 2.9 beta that I understand can handle 16bits pictures.
It's a simple test chart, I need to select some colors when drawing white and Red Green Blue shapes. However when I try to select a color, I cannot select anything more than 255.
How come my 16 bits RAW file is only 10 bits when converted to DNG? To me that sound like a loss in quality and possible post processing issues. Do I need to worry?
I am deciding to switch over to gimp from pixelmator because of the extra features. However, there is one thing that is making me concerned is some limitations in the filters.
How do I create a checkerboard pattern (using the filter) which has a green color for its primary color and transparency for its secondary color? In pixelmator this is easily done because there are extra color pickers in that filter supports transparency, so no problem. However, this isn't the case in gimp.
If there is a way of testing the pens sensitivity to pressure in real-time. I can hear it now. "Draw a line dummy."
To be more specific, any tool that can test number of levels of pressure sensitivity that a pen is capable of. I thought for sure I would find some downloadable software somewhere but no luck.
I'm using a Bamboo Pen and interested in how to verify it is in good working condition and reaching it's whopping 512 levels of sensitivity and also whether I'm pressing harder then I need to.
I'm using Lion, and to install the Leopard version of GIMP. I'm getting an error message, and don't know what action to take:
Unable to open a test swap file.
To avoid data loss, please check the location and permissions of the swap directory defined in your Preferences (currently "/Users/myname/Library/Application Support/Gimp").
Is it possible to take a feature created by a pattern and reuse it to create another pattern? I have a circular part on which I have created a linear pattern (using the rectangular pattern feature) of holes, 6 in total listed as 3 ccurrences. if we number the holes 1-6, I would like to make a circular pattern based off holes 2 and 5. I have been unable to figure out how to select the individual "occurrence" related to the hole once in the pattern feature. If I create the circular pattern first and then the linear and try to suppress the others it supresses both holes in the occurrence.
I played with the feature a bit and understand how to create the patterns. Problem is when I go to fill in my 12x12 space there are seams. I have chosen different sizes in the pattern window but all show up with seams when I fill the larger space. Am I doing something wrong or is the largest size you can create with this tool seamlessly only 9x9?
I have a pretty basic knowledge of Photoshop and I am trying to change fabrics on curtains I have managed to do this but now I am trying to use pattern maker to create a tiled pattern with a fabric so it repeats correctly I have worked out how to start this off but every time I generate a pattern and tile it it becomes distorted I have tried increasing the sample detail but this just seems to distort it more.
I put rounded corners [from the decor part] onto my image, and when i saved it, it came up with these extra bits at the corners; which make the image actually rectangle. How i can get rid of them? i just want the plain round corners. =x
I'm converting all of my photographs into digital. I don't want to do them one at a time since my scanner takes so long to scan, so I'm scanning four or five at a time. I want to cut the resulting image into individual photographs. Is there an easy way to do that? Attached is an example of the bulk photo scan.
I am attempting to create a street art style stencil graphic to put on a t-shirt using Illustrator (note, not an actual stencil for spray painting, just the visual effect of one). I was able to make something similar in photoshop, but pixelation issues lead me to attempt a vector style graphic. The overlying "stencil" image is a complex vector object and the underlying "paint" layer is a series of semi-transparent paint splatter vector groups to get a more textured effect. I am doing it this way because, I have not been able to find any graffiti style brushes that work the same way as those in photoshop. The problem I am having is that when I attempt to make a clipping mask of these objects to be left with just the desired "paint" areas, there is a message about the complexity of this operation, and the result is total disappearance of all the objects, except for their paths. better way to get a vector graffiti stencil effect with texture?
I am new to gimp and want to use it mostly to make mandalas from digital photographs. I found a tutorial online for making mandalas in photoshop and though it seems to be transferable to gimp for the most part, I am having some difficulty actually recreating the example. URL....
I like to repair books with missing pages. Often I can get digital images in tiff or PDF format, but they are often 'dirty', like the one attached. This one seems a good example of the sort of thing I would need to work on.
I need to reconstruct the image, which I think would mean: i) getting an image that is complete and rectangular with a bleed out of in the same colour. ii) remove blemishes like library marks, names etc. iii) reconstruct the decayed text as sensitively as possible.
Is there any hint that GimP brush can behave like this: (for digital lineart purpose)
At the left I manually draw the line by using GimP, and at the right is MyPaint ramon/delayed ink/brush, but the problem is this ramon/delayed brush in MyPaint (for me) is too responsive.
I know Photoshop brush could do like this, but I don't use PhotoShop again after using GimP and never look back. =)
I have both GimPainter and Gimp 2.8 . I've try the Ink tool on both GimP, but it isn't what I wanted... I want Gimp Brush to behave like this.
I could paint this [URL]......using GimPainter, but I am suck at making digital lineart... (+_-)
Is there a way to create realtime updated Digital Copies of drawings? Our File Structure has our base drawings in one folder and our Plot Drawings in another folder.
The reason why I ask this is for lower draftsman Who should not be changing anything in the drawing. The people above me want to create drawings with all the sheets setup on layout tabs in One drawing.
Basically just having our Existing Site/Topography as separate files x-reffed into our Proposed Site.
I can't create a Pattern of a selection area. When I try to create the Pattern at Edit->Define Pattern, this option isn't available. I will tell you the steps I'm taking:
->Create a new doc and use Paint Bucket Tool to paint it with Black (this is the background). ->Then I create a new layer and with the rectangular marquee tool I do a square. ->Keeping the selection I press cmd+backspace and the square becomes white. ->Keeping the selection I do a Stroke with 2px, color black and option Inside. ->Then I go to Edit to define a pattern of that square, however the Define Pattern option is gray, so I can't use it.
how to go about getting the effect on the picture (the slanting lines). I am quite sure its done using the define pattern function but just not sure how to create the pattern.
Cinema 4d wont open in after effects cc it says "No CINEMA 4D file detected. add the effect to an imported CINEMA 4D file, or create a new CINEMA 4D file in CINEMA 4D
my system specs are:
Processor: Intel(R) Core(TM) i3-2350M CPU @ 2.30 GHz RAM: 4GB System: 64-bit Operating system GPU: Intel(R) HD Graphics 3000
How can I create the pattern in the image below? It's not the green gradient obviously . I saw it on a website and found it interesting. It's supposed to resemble a city map.
I'm trying to create a seamless pattern in CS6. Before I had CS6 I didn't have this issue.
So, I have my 1500 x 1500 pixel document.I have set up the new pattern design in the center that I created.I go to Filter/Offset - wrap around and choose 750 px for both the vertical and horizontal.I fill in the spots, not touching or going to the edges to create the rest of my patterned tile.Define pattern.Then, go to fill a new larger document with the pattern and the offset is not seamless. See attached.
I have not encountered this problem before and have made lots of patterns this way. I do realize I can do this in Illustrator, but my client needs a PS file.
I know how to create a new fill pattern, BUT, whenever I use a created pattern to fill an object, I get weird lines in it - as though the fill ends then starts again. It's as though the cross that you use when creating the fill is imprinted on the pattern.
X4. I also got the Canon today and was looking at the rendering modes in X4.
Here is my question. I shoot a video in 24fps cinema mode, import it into VSX4, after I edit it and render it will it alter the frame rate and remove the "Hollywood" movie effect of 24fps?
I am working on a project where I did some object keyframe animation, some lattice animation and a cloth simulation. I really need to take that animation into C4D so I can add some other elements. My problem is no matter what exporter I use when I open it in C4D I get no animation. I have tried baking before I export and using the exporter to bake. I have tried .DAE and .FBX. and My cloth sim is Cached.
Have an Illustrator document that I would like to import to Cinema 4D Lite. Launched After Effects and opened a C4D project, dragging the .AI file and C4D says 'Unknown File Format'. What file format should Illustrator Documents be saved to to import into C4D?
