I have two questions about saving an image as a C source file.
1) In what orientation is the image saved in the C source (row-by-row or column-by-column)?
2) Why does GIMP only export to C source but not import? And as a follow on, any program that will read in C source images and display them?
Just to make sure we are all on the same page about which format I am referring to, here is an excerpt from one of the images I exported as a C source file.
I have about 1000 folders all that have a file inside called; sample.jpg. I need to resize each of them and I have to use the Save For Web option so that these files are as small as possible. Save As makes the images too big. My plan was to make an action and batch process the files. It's easy enough to open all the documents, within the root directory, that are called, sample.jpg, by using the finder search features, but what I can't seem to do is get the Save to Web option to recognize the image's source folder. If I create an action, I see that the location I used when I created the action, is hard coded, so all I'm able to do is overwrite the same file, over and over again.
I am using Linux Mint 13 and gimp 2.8.2 and I keep getting an error message "set a source image first" when trying to heal a dust spot. I choose the tool, I select the area I want to use to replace the dust spot with ctrl click but when I release the ctrl button and click the area to fix I get the message "set a xource image first". Strangely after I release the ctrl a animated radar appears briefly on the screen. Do not ever recall seeing that in earlier versions of gimp. At any rate I can not do a simple heal.
there's nothing in that dropdown menu for you to select your source image/layer in the Move Path plugin.I am using an XCF (Gimp) file, with many layers. I selected a particular layer, then I opened the Move Path plugin.
So I am making digital color prints at 24x30. the photography work is about color fields and gradients, so I need super high res files. I have set the size to 24000x30000 pix at 1000 dpi..now my problem, when i go to save the gimp file as a jpeg i get this error message "JPEG image plug-in could not save image"
I don't know if I'm encountering trouble with gimp or pdf complete. I have 2.6 and I'm trying to save a 5x7 image as a 5x7 pdf. As far as I can tell in doing everything correct. However the pdf always saves scaled as 8.5x11 page with a 5x7 image so when it prints on the 5x7 paper it's tiny!
I'm always cropping pieces of a large composition, then saving, then undoing and repeating. I noticed that GIMP has an understanding of layer size. If I could only save the image based on the layer size, I wouldn't need to crop every time, then undo. It would just know!
Aside from the redundancy, sometimes changes are made after cropping and saving and I am unable to return back to my original document size after exhausting undo's. Which means that everything else in the image is gone.
I cannot save or export an image from GIMP 2.8 at all. No matter where the mouse pointer is on the save/export window only a caret is displayed and not a cursor. The exception to this is when I hover over the vertical slider in the directory pane and I am able to move the slider on left click and drag. When I was using 2.8.2 (see below) and attempted this operation the cursor changed to an icon resembling a text document. The icon does not appear in 2.8.6
The problem has only occurred in the last 10 days. It first happened to me about a week ago. At that time I was using GIMP 2.8.2. Today I uninstalled this version and installed 2.8.6 with no improvement. I also tried deleting the .GIMP2.8 directory (as recommended elsewhere in this forum) with both versions but to no avail. As implied I have used GIMP (for more than 18 months) without a problem until the last week and a bit.
I've got a white UI button with 3D shading and transparency. The white button looks great. I want a red button, so I turned off the green and blue channels (and left on the red and alpha channels). The red button looks great.
A red button is being displayed under GIMP. When I save the red button as a PNG, the button saves as white rather than red. How to save/export to file using GIMP 2.6?
I've been a GIMP user for a couple of years and have just encountered a new and unexpected problem with version 2.8.4. I'm attempting to export a file to JPEG format, and am receiving the message:
"Saving 'FILENAME' failed: JPEG image plug-in could not save image."
I ensured I had adequate disk space, tried saving to different locations (including other drives on our network), tried resizing the image, and nothing will work. The message just recurs each time, no matter what I try.
I open a jpg file in gimp and use the crop tool. I see the cropped part highlighted and the part to be discarded as a surrounding shaded area. I am happy with the cropped part and open a file-save-as dialog through the file menu. I type in the file name and think I am done. But when I open the saved file, it looks the same as the uncropped file that I started with in the first place. What am I failing to do to make the gimp save my change? I guess the answer is that I didn't really make a change but only thought I did. So how do I actually change to the cropped image?
i'm using gimp 2.6.11 on a windows 7 enterprise machine. I made some brushes in rbg mode and saved as gbr, and also converted some ps brushes by exporting an abr as a png in rbg mode then saving as gbr. my goal is to get a gbr brush that i can change the color to the foreground color. I tried changing the mode from rgb to greyscale but when i try to re-save as gbr i get an error message that brushes can only be saved in greyscale or rgba (!).
i've tried saving the gbr as a png, changing the mode to greyscale and then saving as gbr but i get the same error message.
Any good skin texture brushes for gimp that can be used with foreground color? It's for a digital portrait of a male so I need an orangepeel texture and some other skin textures that aren't too airbrushed.
If I take an image, and using the path tool, draw an area, then do a selection from path, cut/copy and paste as 'new image' then save the new image as a .bmp, .jpg etc, I am getting the whole original image instead of the cut an pasted portion. The full image does not show up as long as the drawing remains in .xcf (the background is a grey checkerboard). When saved as .jpg or .bmp the checkerboard is replaced by the original source image that it was cut from. This is Gimp 2.6.11 under Linux.
I have checked for extra layers, tried removing alpha channels, doing a 'copy visible' and re-pasting, merging of all layers all to no avail. It doesn't always happen either so there must be something, some setting or clicky box somewhere.
I'm currently in the process of organizing my music collection with album art. I found a great site with high quality images[URL] .... and would like to resize pictures to 600x600 within the range of 200-300KB. Is there a way to automatically do this without changing the quality percentage by trial and error?
I'm trying to use the crop tool to cut out the rectangular image, but I can't seem to get rid of the white border. I scanned in the image so its still showing the white paper around it, how do I get rid of this and just save the image portion?
I noted a bug in GIMP 2.8. In the window Save as the dimension of the image is fixed at 1,3Gbyte even if the image is a few kbyte or you modify the quality.Here is the window: [URL]
I was working on an image, it was quite big, 7000 px wide, 6000 tall but only 5 quite simple layers, the .xcf is 7.8MB.
All of a sudden after pasting from another .xcf file (which I had just10+ times with no similar result) I moved the pasted part, the image was pretty much finished and I went up to click file>export and everything between "open recent" and "quit" in the file menu was grey.No chance to save or export and it appears half an hour of work lost.It was as if the file menu didn't think I had a file open, but if I scrolled across to the filters menu for example, they were available for selection which they are not when you have no image open. I could edit the image and change layer visibilities and do what I wanted to the image - except save it. I had flash backs to darker days of shareware version of lesser softer titles on proprietary systems. In a moment of frustration I hit the little "x" to resign for the night and it warned me to save before closing.. I hit save as the only option was to overwrite a file I didn't really want to overwrite but I did and then wrote this.
It's 2.8.6 running on an up to date ubuntu 13.10 on a high end PC.
I'm trying to make a .gif file using a .wmv file as the source. It needs to be small, about 2 mb or less.
When I first finished the .gif (about 150 frames), the file was much too large. I resized it, used the "optimize" feature, and made it grayscale, but it's still too big.
Now I want to try cutting frames to make the file size smaller. How do I cut every other frame in my .gif?
Alternatively, is there any way to choose the number of frames I want in "extract videorange" (for ex: I want only 10 frames from mark 3:00 to 3:30)?
I have tried to upgrade my gimp2.8.2 (default in debian distrubuted version at the moment) to 2.8.10 since I read through release notes and realized I could be an even happier user with this version.During installation I found that I missed quite a few bits and pieces, but I installed them when required. (babl, gegle, glib2 e.g.).Eventually I reached the make install stage and it seemed to work ok. However when now opening gimp I can't open files and I lack quite a few filters possibly other menues missing I havn't walked into everything yet. It seems like a folders supposed to be created and refreshed in /.gimp2.8 was not.
When you apply a drop shadow, the shadow is cast in the same direction from all parts of the object. E.g. the shadow is projected to the right and downwards from the object. In other words the light source is far away and it produces parallel rays of light.
Is there a way to cast a shadow where the light source is quite close to the object? For example imagine the light source was just above the object. Parts of the object on the left would have their shadow projecting to the left and down and parts of the object on the right would have a shadow projecting to the right and down.
Have an open image in gimp 2.8 on suse 12.2, I call the "import palette" function, I set 64 colors, step 32, check the "from all layers" etc etc, and in the preview I see the 64 color palette I'd like. Looks good.
BUT: underneath the preview it says "the selected source contains no colors."And continuing the palette is indeed empty.
I know it might sound weird, HDR images are usually built from multiple images all taken from the same place at the same time but using different exposures.
I'd like to create a HDR image from multiple versions of one source image. I have a number of pictures where I've taken the photo exposing for the sky. This resulted in the landscape/buildings being darker than desired usually. These areas can be easily brightened up though. I find that if I expose for the landscape and buildings, then the sky is washed out and unrecoverable. If I expose for the sky, the landscape and buildings are merely "a bit dark" and can be recovered simply by adjusting the brightness/contrast in photoshop. Of course doing this washes out the sky again, so I need to create a composite of good sky and brightened landscape and buildings. I'm not creating anything professional, so it's not important that I use the best pro techniques.
What I've traditionally done is have two layers, one with the original image (with the good sky) and one with the lightened image (with the good landscape and buildings) and using a mask for the sky, I can put the good (unlightened) sky on the lightened image. Standard stuff really.
So when I heard about HDR automation, I'd hoped that I could take my original image (with the good sky), take a second lightened version of the very same image, put it on a layer, select a HDR automation tool and have it somehow merge them magically. When I've tried this though, nothing seems to happen. I'm left with an unmerged image. I'm pretty sure I'm going about it wrong.
I wonder whether this HDR automation isn't going to help me and perhaps my fake pseudo HDR image creation technique is worth sticking with.
I've been using Corel Photopaint 8 for many years and only just switched to PS CS3 recently (mostly driven by the thought of this cool HDR feature). I'm still finding my way a bit. I'm using it on XP if that makes a difference.
I have a folder with 300 sub folders with a high res image. (each image is in a folder, with it's part no's name)
Ive created a process to create low res images with a new file name prefix s_ and I have selcted "include all sub folders" in my source folder options.
The problem i have i select a destination folder and all the images are saved to the destination folder root. As opposed to the original location of each image. (its own sub folder)
Well, I need a little slideshow of images, the code for mouse events (click, mouseover, mouseout, etc.) is the same for all images, then I create a symbol with one image inside for this, and drag&drop instances to stage, but now I don't know how change the image source of other symbols. In design time, when right click over any symbol instance only edit symbol it's possible (not single instance), and I don't know if is possible to change the image source of any symbol instance by code.
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
Any way to, have a source color chart, a target color chart, calculate what are the variations between them, and then use that to apply it to another image? I'm not talking about "match color", I know how that works, but is not what I'm looking for. It can be compared to switching to a custom color profile (calculated by the variation of source and target). Or something like "color lookup" (but with a custom icc/icm/lut). Creating a custom icc has been really complicated for me, and I still can't get it to work. (I have the icc profile, but can't open it nor from "convert profile" nor from "color lookup").
I need to copy a layer from one drawing to another, the problem is that one of them is in model and the other one is in paper. The method I tried using was: I used the q select command to copy all objects from one layer on to the clipboard and then tried pasting it in the other drawing (which was in paper) - and nothing got pasted.
