View 4 Replies View RelatedWhen I'm editing pix, and need a quick large solid brush for a couple seconds, (1-inch dia), I slide "scale", but it's nearly impossible to manually rest scale back to default without restarting Gimp...
Can there be a dot-button beside scale that auto-sets scale back to default..? and/or a timer on scale changes that resets scale back to default after ten-seconds..?
I have imported some auto cad files from a software named arcgis 10. The files are opening perfectly. But when I 'am importing the boundary on those files , the scale/size of the boundary is too large. Is there any option in autocad by which we can reduce the scale as per rest of the layers.

Even if i "discard text information" from layer..and then save it as .xcf it doesnt work! Same layers appear as text layers when i open that .xcf Its not a big deal but it really slows me down when im working with layers..
I merged my layers down to scale to proportion and I thought I was done with the project, so I saved it and exported. I then learned that I did something incorrectly, so I went back to the project only to remember I merged the layers and I don't know how to undo that. How do you revert the layers back to layers?

Has this always been the case, or is this a new CC feature? You know the ones that keep popping up as I'm trying to get my work done. I have to calculate the scale of all my patterns and strokes MANUALLY?
View 6 Replies View RelatedI just started using 2012. Two problems:
1- Somehow, in my current drawing, everything is layer-locked. There are no Xrefs in this very basic drawing. All layers are unlocked. Yet, any attempt to select any entities results in "x objects were on a locked layer". Again, all layers are unlocked. No Xrefs. No blocks. Just simple lines. All entities appear faded. This happened after viewing a layout in both paper and model spaces. Reviewing the text window shows no strange accidental commands.
2- There is a default set of viewport scales in the status bar at the bottom right. Default scales are all metric. I would like both metric and imperial. I see you can edit which exact scales are in a metric list, and which are in an imperial list. But how do you set what is displayed/available in the status bar button?

View 4 Replies View RelatedAfter pasting in a PNG, and it's made into a Floating Selection layer, she wanted to scale it down using the Scale tool. So she clicked and dragged till she got the right size, but upon clicking on Scale (in the little dialog that pops up with the Scale tool), the dialog box vanishe ... and the layer went back to its original size. She tried multiple times and got the same problem.
I even got her to click on "Cancel" rather than Scale in case it was a traslation error, like the translator mixed up the Scale and Cancel buttons, but nope.
How do I scale without losing resolution? I'd like to make the image smaller without it becoming blurry
View 3 Replies View RelatedHow can I scale a selection fast and easy within a python-script, so fast as I would do within the Gimp-interface: Toolbox->Scale->set Transformation to Selection->scale the selection and ready...
First I have tried
sel = pdb.gimp_selection_save(myImg)
pdb.gimp_item_transform_scale(sel,...)
pdb.gimp_image_select_item(myImg,0,sel)
But it takes some seconds! (gimp interface method needs milliseconds).
When I omit the first step (no selection_save first), then there will be a floating selection, and that isn't really what I want.
I have a printer A0 format and i want to print picture A0 size on it. But when I try to setup the "Page Setup" only A4 is possible.
How to setup to print A0 to A0 in scale 1:1?
For some reason, when I bring up the scale tool, the toolbox appears to the right of the screen, half cut off and under the Gnome toolbor. I've tried moving it, but it is being stubborn. This appears to be the only box having this problem, right now.

Gimp 2.8.10
make a new image with the same scale "dimension" of the copied object "images".
View 4 Replies View RelatedWhen I use the scale tool on an image, I get that thing where I have to type in the pixels, but after I do that, and press Scale, I get the scale loading thing, but nothing happens, and the image remains the same size. It also doesn't work if I manually drag the image to size. It's only works when I type in the pixel width, then press enter, then Scale, but this makes the picture remain the same size. I also can't rely on this since I don't know the pixel size. This is what I hate about Gimp, either it's really glitchy or it's super complicated and I don't know how to fix something as simple as this. It's not the first problem I've had, and I have to close with saving, reopen everytime.

View 7 Replies View RelatedHow can I scale an image without the image resulting to blurry edges?
What I want to do is simply scale my image in the same way when I zoom in it. Pixelation is not a problem.
just want to scale an image. I do File/Tools/Transform Tools/Scale. Then I adjust the numbers to my desire. If I reduce the size, there is blending that takes place amongst pixel colors.
Looks good except that the edges of the image are also being blended. Blended with what? The edge? I don't get it.
How do I scale an image, but leave the edges alone?
well - how to scale an image correct! I am pretty new to GIMP and i want to scale an image.
what is wanted: want to have an image with approx 300 x 200 pixel:
currently it (the image called Demo-image.jpg) has a size of approx 580 x 260 pixel.
First of all; i open a new window - (with 1080x540 pixel)
then i open my Demo-image.jpg in this newly created window - Question: should i drop in this Demo-image.jpg as a new layer or as a new picture. guess that this is pretty important. Unfortunatly i do not have any glue!?
Then i take the marker tool and mark the whole Demo-image.jpg - and afterward i choose (out of the toolbox -) the scaling-tool. Now i try to scale down the Demo-image.jpg.
If i am lucky then the scaling -dialogue pops up. Then i can see some values; height and width - What now happens is totally misterious: Whatever i do:
a. playing with the numbers (/height or width)
b. taking the demo-image.jpg with the "mouse" and tryin to scale "manually by shifting the edges...
All i do - it has no effect.
I recently upgraded to 2.8 and I like the interface changes a lot, but I have an issue with the brush slider's default scale of 0 to 1,000. For what I am doing, I would really prefer to set the scale more like 0-25. Is there a way to do this?

What I do is find images, paste them into GIMP, scale them down, and round the corners.
I've been playing around with script fu to make it automatically scale the image and round the corners, but I've run into problems with the image variable needing to be changed each time something is pasted.
Is there a way I can automate this, perhaps some code that will set the image variable to whatever the current window is, or am I stuck doing "manual labor"?

View 4 Replies View RelatedI’m trying to figure out if there is a way to scale a “border” around a rectangle or square? Or, put another way, keeping an image the same size, but enlarge an inner rectangle or square without cropping the “border.” To try and add context, imagine a bezel used for an arcade machine. A border with a cut-out in the middle to view the screen. Imagine you wanted to preserve the information on the bezel border, but increase the size of the cut out.

I want to scale down the size of each image in a set of 125 photos, to save storage space in my computer. How can I do this other than one at a time?
View 1 Replies View RelatedRecently when I click on an image/layer to rescale (like I have done hundreds of times) the height figure resets to 1 px. When I try to increase it back to the original figure, nothing happens apart from weird lines that appear below the image. It started yesterday, after I was in the middle of a project and Gimp crashed (which it has never done before). It does not matter how many new projects I start, after a while the scale tool stops working.
View 7 Replies View RelatedI have a image in grayscale that is posterized into three colors. Now I want to convert this image into three colors black, yellow, and orange, In other words something like this:
How do I do this? I want to get an idea of how my picture will look on my pumpkin.
I think my gimp version is 2.6.8p2.
I have done LOTS of detailed research into ppi, dpi etc.
I believe I do understand the difference. Whenever I open a picture in gimp it opens at 72ppi. I wish to scale all my photos to 300 ppi so i can use a template I made of the exact same size paper as my printer uses without having to worry about the printer rescaling my photos from 72 ppi to whatever dpi it needs.
I have converted lots manually and am assured that this works for my purposes (not professional just scrapbook and photo album prints)
I have two questions though;
1. Is there a freeware program, or a way through gimp, that I can batch convert multiple files up to 300ppi.
2. Why when I change the ppi of a photo does the filesize become larger? Surely the ppi is just a reference number to know how many pixels to display and to convert for printing?
