There's this GIF that I'd like to use for a banner and when I open the file in GIMP, add a text and then check the animation in the playback window, I can only see the text once the GIF has ended but also, I can only see the text for like one second.
Is it possible to make the text visible on all of the frames of the GIF without having to duplicate the text 100s of times and merging them onto each frames?
I've generated my steel frame model using a skeletal model technique. So my part file consists of only sketch lines representing where I want my steel to be placed. I've created an assembly and used that in my inventor.dwg file.
The problem is that I need to dimension to the sketch file and not to the model shapes because the sketch lines define the center of gravity. These lines aren't visible even though I've right-clicked on the content and selected "Get Model Sketches". How I can get my skeletal model through to the DWG environment?
I want to select all text frames on all visible layers. The script below will select all text frames even in groups but when a layer with text on it is invisible the script will error.(target layer cannot be modified)
if (app.documents.length > 0 ) {
var doc = app.activeDocument;
var numTextFrames = 0;
for ( i = 0; i < doc.textFrames.length; i++ ) {
textArtRange = doc.textFrames[i];
textArtRange.selected = true;
}
}
So I made this script to select text frames on only the visible layers but it now misses text that is in a group.
var layerCount = activeDocument.layers.length;
var docSelected = activeDocument.selection;
for (i = 0; i < layerCount; i++)
[Code] .....
Why it does not selected textframes in a group when done this way and is there a way to get all textframes selected on all visible layers?
So whenever I open up Gimp and then a new image, the layer for the background don't show up. > [URL]..
I've this window with all the tabs for the brushes, patterns etc and when I want to make the layers visible, I've to drag the layers window to the tabs and then drag it back to where it first was.. (it's quite hard to explain )
[URL]....
so basically, the layers don't show unless i do something what can i do about this?
Basically, I'm trying to make simple animations. For some reason, I can't figure out how to make any layer but the top visible. Is there any way to essentially make the layers have a visible/invisible function? I'm not talking about the eye button next to the layer name.
View 1 Replies View RelatedI recently bought a Bamboo Pen tablet to use with GIMP and have been installing under Windows (XP).
The tablet installs fine, is recognised by GIMP and I can draw with the stylus. Excellent. The only problem is that the cursor/arrow is missing which means that I can draw things but I only know where the stylus is when I start to write/draw.
I am hoping that this is a simple settings issue but how to make the cursor/arrow visible?
Is there a way to put a text automatically on "X" frames? I mean, it's so hard to copy the layer and merge it on aaaaaall frames if a gif has 100, for example.

View 4 Replies View RelatedI have a coworker who is converting a Civil 3D drawing down to "plain" AutoCAD.
In the orignal drawing, there are wipeout frames that are turned off, but when you open the converted drawing, they are turned ON.
Is there anyway to ensure the frames will be turned off in the converted drawing without having to open the drawing? I have a theory that the AECTOACAD command must use a particular template file when converting the drawing down, and that it would be a simple matter of making sure the frames are OFF.
I have set my wipeout frames to "off" however when I plot the drawing they are still visisble.
This sets the visiblity of the farmes within the drawing to off however when plotting the frames are visible on the print.
Been a while since I have used wipeout, not sure if this is a system bug or there is some other variable I have forgotten that will set frames to not plot ?

View 2 Replies View RelatedI am currently working on making a map out of a satellite image. I am stuck trying to figure out how to get text to be small enough to be legible. I have cropped and resized the original image, It is 137x224 @ 72ppi. I want the text smaller, I think I cant get enough definition because the pixels are huge, text size 7 and under becomes like 6 squares per letter and there is no definition.
The same effect is keeping me from getting well defined and sharp lines. I try to stroke a path and the line looks like a row of squares instead of a line.
How do I make text with 2 colours?
©gosonyushidae@SSF
Like something similar to this?
The way I know how to do it is by typing the first word in black lets say, then open a new text dialogue on another layer and type in the other word with a different colour.
Is there an easier way to do this since I'm afraid that my text won't be in line with each other?
I've been using gimp occasionally here and there but never anything complicated. Now I want to make a text string appear along a path. I thought it would be easy, but after googling some how-to's I found a source of infinite frustration.
The thing is that the paths of string letters are almost never the way I want them to be. Although I tried a rather time consuming workaround for my task, it really bugs me that I was not able to use a built in feature.
Troubleshooting info: tried both gimp 2.8.2 and latest i could get 2.8.6 for windows, running win 7 x64
steps:
1. select path tool and create some path
2. select text tool and add some text
3. select the path created earlier from the Paths tab
4. Layer -> Text along path
and this is what I get (made the original path (red) and string's path (blue) visible):
I have gimp 2.8 and am taking a class on gimp. I need to use an image to make text and it doesn't work.
I have followed steps from Google searched tutorials and I can do all the steps but the end result is I still paste a black font. (I tried opening gimp tutorials and it took me to a page to link to the tuts but wouldn't open? So i went to Google.
I have followed a variety of step lessons - some that are easy and some that go on forever. None work. The easiest steps were .. open an image / select tool font / click on image / type text / resize to how I want it to look / move it to where i want text to be over image / click on text layer / right click / drop menu choose "alpha to selection" = text letters become selected (at this stage I can fill with a pattern etc and that works so I know I have a selection) Edit/ copy / open new file / edit / paste / and the text should be written with the image as the letters BUT I just get the text in black.
What am i doing wrong or does this feature not work in 2.8.
I followed a tutorial to get to an acceptable text image , even managed a border. [URL]........

View 8 Replies View RelatedThis seems like a simple task, but I've had trouble matching up with it well. I have graphics of some book pages, and would like to make them glow/radiate very similar to this video from a Star Wars documentary:
The main issue so far is just making it really look like it's glowing, rather than just everything getting brighter. I tried Filters > Aristic > Softglow, but that didn't work too well.
So, I'm trying to make moods for forums like this: and I don't know how to make my text move vertically or horizontally. The person who made this uses Gimp as well, so I know there is a way.

For instance.... here is a link to a page on my website...the whole body of the webpage is a png image that I made using gimp and the image map option. The problem is that the text is not copyable...since it is part of the image.
