As the title says I have a PDF made in open office (actually 4) that have text. I removed the photos on the bottom and the logo at the top as I need to scale these pdf's up to 4'x5' (48"x60") and add my High Resolution images back to the PDFS to send them to our banner printing company. They are requesting the files in 300dpi.
When I have tried to upscale the PDF's to that size the file has been huge and not sure if I am doing it correctly. How to upscale these properly to 300dpi?
Attached is one of the PDF's for example. A image will be added below the text and logo above.
90 mins to render 6 mp4 files to an AVCHD file. I don't see much quality difference for the 3x longer rendering time and file size compared to an mpg file.
I have checked the road map for GIMP and I have seen that the Unified transform tool can be expected in version 3.8. (ugh)
Now what I would like to ask is there any tool or plugin for GIMP that can transform my selections? Or is there any open source image editor that can do it.
I'm not an artist and just for this I have to use Photoshop. For me PS is an overkill for just cutting up an image.
I have been useing gimp for a while now and I find that it is just as powerful as ps but interface sucks. also I have found the some of the gfx filters are gone.
if there are any sites where you can get free .psd files of different shapes, pictures etc. What I am looking for I guess is a photoshop version of clipart - just some shapes and pictures I can drop into a design to save time etc.
I work for a charity and have to make promo posters all the time -
The only thing that is lacking from photoshop is the ability to easily determine exactly how many pixels apart things are. For instance, I have some guides placed and I want to drag another guy exactly 10px below the current one. Thing is, i have no idea what pixel that first guide is at. I can't double click it to get that info, I can't set the information bar in the bottom left of the image window to a coordinate system like gimp. I do a lot of web development and this is a very important feature to me. Is there something that I am missing? I know I can go to view->new guide but I don't feel like guessing 30 times as to which point an image i have happens to fall, and then add the 10 pixels down from there.
Whenever I try to install the latest version of gimp I get the error that tells me that the uninstaller to remove the previous version has failed.
I tried to run the 2.6 uninstaller but it failed so I removed the gimp folder from my Program Files folder and my User\(name) folder, I realize now that this was probably not the smartest move. I still get the error telling me to uninstall the previous version and I even ran a search of my computer and can't find any trace of the previous version of gimp.
I have made MANY custom gradients, some manually, some by 'sample gradient along path' but NONE of those custom gradients are in the 'gradients' folder!!! I want to back them up like I back up every custom content (brushes, patterns, plug-ins, etc.) but unable to find!
I'm having trouble installing 2.8 on crunchbang (Debian Xfce). Since, as opposed to popular belief, Ubuntu is not Debian these instructions are useless: URl...
How to install on Debian. I tried adding ppa in Synaptic but "Add Source" button was still grayed out after pasting "ppa:otto-kesselgulasch/gimp"
Also tried "sudo apt-get update" then running "sudo apt-get install gimp" and got return message: "gimp is already the newest version." How to actually upgrade to 2.8?
I am trying to use the Foreground select tool, and while I can select the section I want. WHen it instructs me to press the enter key, I do and everything de-selects.I cannot copy the selection...I'm using a MacBook Pro 10.5.
I'm a long time GIMP user but I'm new to Mac. My Wacom works perfect with the GIMP. I figured out to use click-through so I would have to double click all the time on windows. What I can't figure out is why my mouse can't use any tools. I pick a tool, select for example - it does nothing on the canvas. Paint tool, nothing. Any tool I try does nothing when using my mouse. I switch to my Wacom and all the tools work perfectly.
I am an experienced Photoshop user, but just found Gimp. So far, very good. I work as a consultant Chemical Engineer, in an oil refinery.
I plan to bring converted DWGs - to PDFs - into Gimp, and then insert/modify with new valves, pumps, control valves, pressure controls, vessels, etc. That would be used as "marked-up" flow diagrams, P&IDs, for new designs or modifications.
Is there a selection of objects like this that can be opened directly into Gimp, without my needing to create each one? Yes, I realize there would be some advantages to a vector-based program versus a bit-mapped program, but I can modify and use existing drawings much easier in a bit-mapped program.
Is it possible to even be able to create objects like this and import/open them in Gimp, to be moved/pasted to wherever one likes?
I downloaded Gimp 2.8.2, the "native" version for use on my MacBook, OS X 10.6.8, and no luck. It will not open. I have trashed it and re-downloaded, restarted, etc. No good.
I have tried downloaded it from both [URL] .......
Each time I try to open it, it gets to finding fonts and then "unexpectedly closes."
I checked all paths. There is no script like that on my PC.And a similar one missing as well: script-fu-util-image-add-layers.So, where can I find / download this scripts?I will not change to Gimp 2.8 or any other version.
I want to take this gif and add a background to it. I've been trying everything I can think of for at least an hour, and now I've completely frustrated myself. It seems like such a simple thing to do, and yet I seem to be over-looking it.
I made an animation, and let's say I got it to look good at 15 FPS. I go to save it as an animated GIF, and that's in MS. How do I get the right MS to get 15 frames per second? and what's the conversion amount for other FPS numbers?
I am using the Gimp Mac 2.6.8 (seems to work best with Mac Tiger 10.4.11). I have an Olympus E1 DSLR, want to be able to process, manipulate Raw files from the camera in the Gimp. Am I able to accomplish this? If so, is there a plugin I can install in the Gimp? Although I have been using other Gimp functionality, I am completely new to working with Raw files. "non-jargon" terms how I can accomplish this? On my own I got the "ufraw-0.18.tar.gz" file from Sourceforge, am I on the right track?
I have used Gimp many times in the past, sometimes for fairly complicated photo retouch but mostly for more routine things like red eye removal, cropping, exposure control, etc. I downloaded a new version of Gimp when I replaced my computer some time ago. I followed the Gimp tutorial for red eye removal and it worked but the lines created when I used the free selection tool are remaining after I click OK to finalize the operation. Am I missing a click somewhere to turn of the selection lines?
I was cruising along in gimp saving jpg t0 xcf in a folder when suddenly when I clicked "save as" I got the open window listing all the files again and I could not save to xcf. Tried other files, same thing. Shut down the computer and restarted gimp again, same thing.
