Im having some problems with GIMP and my graphire4 tablet. Im not using the pen, only the mouse in gimp. Using Windows Vista and a Wacom Graphire4 tablet. When drawing, the pointer is offset from where I am actually pointing my mouse. This only happens while drawing or selecting/cropping on the canvas. All the menus work fine, and the mouse works perfectly in other graphic programs and windows.
View 1 RepliesI just got CS5.1 at my job. This must be a preference, but when I adjust the Canvas size, it will constrain the image, rather than cropping the canvas. The Anchor in the Canvas Size menu appears outlined (highlighted?) which indicates that this is something in preferences that I can adjust.

View 4 Replies View RelatedSo, I have a "Fit Screen" image open with no canvas. I select "Print Size", and it reduces the image size, but leaves a huge expanse of canvas that I have to drag in to remove.
Where is the setting to prevent that? (CS-6)
everytime i use the selection tool it selects the entire canvas and not the image i want. why is doing this? how can i prevent this?
View 6 Replies View Related how to select items on the canvas, aside for selecting each individual layer on the layers panel. have Mac os X 10.7.4, and I previously had cs5.5 on my laptop.
I was able to use the direct select tool to select mulitple items by either dragging it would select anything in the box or using shift to select multiple items. Do I have to click on every item in the layer panel to select it on the canvas? Is there a option that I have checked when it should be unchecked?
I got a graphire 3 for christmas and ive been messing around with it in photoshop. i can use it as well as my mouse now but i dont see a $200 difference between the graphire and the mouse. I actually dont see much of a difference at all. What is the graphire used for besides replacing the mouse?
How can it speed up my work?
I am considering getting a Wacom Graphire 4 tablet type input device to alternate with my mouse to hopefully decrease the repetitive motion.
recommendations in this area?
When I open a rectangular photographic image (JPG) and rotate it 90 degrees, the canvas remains the same and the ends of the photo are cropped. I there a way to rotate the whole shebang so this cropping doesn't happen?
Telling the canvas to resize to the picture doesn't seem to work for me.

I need to crop the edge (non-map) area from an old map that I scanned for use in QGIS. How do I remove the edge and not have it replaced with white. I need for the new edge to truly be the new edge. I also need to save it as a Tiff. Is it possible to crop and make the outside or background transparent and still save it as a Tiff? I need to georeference my result without any kind of edge beyond the map data.

I have an animated GIF whose edges I'd like to trim off. Some forums say you can only do this by breaking down animated GIFs to individual frames, cropping each, then recreating the single GIF. This would be a lot of work for 93 frames. Is there a better easier way to do this?
View 2 Replies View RelatedI have been taking a series of pictures of a church over the seasons and would like to make a slide show from them showing the changes. The problem is I have taken them by hand and so the images do not completely overlay.
Is there a way I can select part of the image, for example the top of the church door beam and then align each other image to the same position. This may require some of the images to rotate themselves slightly. I would then like to be able to crop each image to a defined area, the same in all cases, and then save the images. I was planning to produce a slide show in powerpoint with the images to show how the church has changed over the seasons but if there is an option to do this with better results I would like to consider it.

View 4 Replies View RelatedSo I'm trying to make a modified loading screen for a game (Homeworld 2 to be exact) but I'm not sure how to do this. You see the loading screen has a black background with a blue line in the shape of a hud, with the actual picture inside of it (Example, the loading bar is rendered dynamically and not part of the image). What I was thinking of doing, is erasing the inside, then copy & pasting the picture I want as a new layer over it, then cropping out the area outside the blue "hud" to give a black background with a internal picture. I was wondering if there would be a way to do that without overwriting the blue outline and having to do it manually.

HAving just installed 2.8 after using 2.6, I find all scanned images and existing jpeg files I created in 2.6 are displayed at ridiculously large dimensions. In 2.6, all scanned images were loaded on screen at their actual A4 size, regardless of scan resolution. In 2.8 they are loading up on screen at around 5 times the actual size - it seems I have to scale the image back down to A4 before I can start editing it? I tested this on A4 jpeg files I created on 2.6, and they also load on screen at massively enlarged sizes. how to get these images to display at their actual sizes?
View 2 Replies View RelatedI have an image with many layers. I want to cut a vertical strip out of the middle of one of the layers because I want to narrow the transparent gap between the left side of that layer and the right side. That is, my image has stuff on the left side and stuff on the right and a gap in the middle through which shows the pattern in the layers below, and I want to narrow that middle gap. I want to do the same thing as cutting a vertical strip down the middle of that top layer with scissors so I can scrunch the sides together, so less of the patterns on the layers behind shows through.
Is there any way to do this? It doesn't work when I simply select the area I want to cut and click "cut" or "clear" - those commands don't get rid of the canvas in that section, just the contents, which are transparent anyway.
I'm trying to avoid resizing the canvas and then laboriously reconstructing the layer with all the finicky alignment issues, because that seems unnecessarily time-consuming, when all I need to do is remove a gap in a blank section. I tried using guides to guillotine the image, but that, too, is turning out to be time-consuming in terms of reassembling the image. I know I must be missing something obvious - how does one simply remove a selection of the canvas (and not of the image itself) with the selection tool?
basically what I did was I wanted a certain part of an image and I used the eraser tool along with adding the alpha channel so I can get rid of everything in the image but a cropped version of it (basically erasing around what I want to keep). How do I fit the canvas to this oddly shaped image now?
You can say I want to create an icon but when I save it as a .png or .jpg, I get this white background replacing the alpha channel when I just want the cropped image itself. I tried going about using the free select tool, going around the image and then using the "Fit Canvas to Selection" option but that just takes way too long.
I have an image with 85 layers, let's say they are all 100x100 pixels.
The layers are all aligned on the top and left borders of the canvas.
The canvas is 100 pixels wide and 8500 pixels tall.
I want to put the first layer on the top of the canvas, then the secondlayer with its top border aligned with the bottom border of the firstlayer. Then the third layer just below the second one, etc. So that all 85layers are spread on the full height of the canvas.
Actually, some layers are less than 100 pixels tall. I still want thelayers to be one next to the other. So if my first layer is 60 pixels tall,the second layer must be moved at 0,60 in the canvas. And if the second oneis 90 pixels tall, the third one must me moved at 0,150.
How can I do that? Is there a plugin? It doesn't seem very hard to code in Scheme.
Debian updated GIMP this morning (2.8.2) and I notice that after cropping an image, the crop lines remain on the picture. Is this a bug or a "feature" ?
View 1 Replies View RelatedI want to select all the objects in the drawing and then based on the linetype it should be moved to a specific layer.
I can do this per type (circle, line, etc) but that will be a hell of a job and a lot of code. In Vba I check inside the selection on linetype and then change it to the correct layer. But in .NET i don't figured out a way how to do it.
I have a need to delete all the tables in my drawing.
I started with the SS14 code from Jerry Winters VB.NET progamming and modified it to select tables. Unfortunately, when trying to select a table, the code does not work. I tried it with Polylines, block references, Mtext and it worked OK with all of them. See the code below:
<CommandMethod("SS14")> _ Public Sub SS14() Dim myDB As DatabaseServices.Database Dim myDWG As ApplicationServices.Document Dim myEd As EditorInput.Editor Dim myPSR As EditorInput.PromptSelectionResult Dim mySS As EditorInput.SelectionSet Dim myFilter(0) As DatabaseServices.TypedValue myFilter(0) = New DatabaseServices.TypedValue(DatabaseServices.DxfCode.Start, "INSERT") myFilter(0) = New DatabaseServices.TypedValue(DatabaseServices.DxfCode.Start, "TABLE") ' myFilter(0) = New DatabaseServices.TypedValue(DatabaseServices.DxfCode.Start, "POLYLINE") ' myFilter(0) = New DatabaseServices.TypedValue(DatabaseServices.DxfCode.Start, "MTEXT")
'''' Chenge items commented out above for testing.
Dim mySF As New EditorInput.SelectionFilter(myFilter) myDWG = ApplicationServices.Application.DocumentManager.MdiActiveDocument myDB = myDWG.Database myEd = myDWG.Editor myPSR = myEd.SelectAll(mySF) Try mySS = myPSR.Value If Not IsNothing(mySS) Then MsgBox(mySS.Count) End If Catch ex As SystemException MsgBox(Err.Description) End Try End Sub
What am I doing wrong? Or is there a bug when selecting "Tables" as distinct from other entities?
I don't seem to be able to click on the canvas in GIMP. I installed a tablet(Wacom Bamboo) and assumed that the pen wasn't working correctly until I realised that I couldn't click with my mouse either. The mouse and tablet work fine in other programs. It didn't have the problem until I installed the driver for the tablet(I think). I can use any feature that doesn't involve clicking on the canvas(adjusting curves, scaling, changing the saturation, etc.), I just can't do things like make a selection, or use the paintbrush.
I'm using GIMP 2.6.11 on Ubuntu 11.04.
Just wanted to align some text with the canvas. Thinking I'd simply overlooked the feature, How do you align a layer to the canvas? Specifically, a text layer.
The answers I found:
Use mouse to drag layer to the center of canvas. (This does not result in the accuracy for which I was hoping, unless I do some math to determine and pinpoint the proper location and try to keep my hand steady.)
Cut, copy, paste. (This renders the text uneditable.)
There isn't an align feature?

View 1 Replies View RelatedAfter updating to GIMP2.8.4 I am seeing a constant problem with the canvas not updating after any change unless I move the cursor out of the image area. It starts updating immediately but if I move the cursor back it stops even if it hasn't finished redrawing. This is not just for image changes; the selection outline does not update either unless I move the cursor out of the image area! There's another problem with the selection outline - sometimes it just stops displaying, period, and I ave to use quick mask or save and close GIMP.
