Does gimp have a feature similar to levels and curves in photoshop? In photoshop, a new layer for levels and curves is created?
Is there a particular part of the forum where similarities / dissimilarities with photoshop are discussed?
What is the difference between levels and curves?
They seem to do about the same thing when I play with them.
What is the main difference betweem levles adjustments and curves?
Booth of these adjustment layers do the same in differnt ways:
contrast corrections, midtone correction, shadow/highlight corrections, color correction.
I understand curves allows to select secific tonal points in the image.When should levels be used instead of curves?
Levels and Curves. I'm trying to figure out how to give photos the sort of bright, colorful, slightly orange-ish glow that you see on this website... if you look for the color photos.

I haven't used Photoshop in a while, but I remember that you could hold CTRL (on PC) and click with the Pen Tool and it would straighten up your shape for you once the paths are connected and would like to do similar in GIMP but can't find out how.
How to compare two similar solid model and found where its differetiate is, and how to compare two similar drawing let say rev.1 to rev.2 and found where its differentiate is?

View 2 Replies View RelatedAn image I imported contains an area with quite a few different, yet very similar colors (different shades of the same red). I want to change the complete area to one single red tone. What's the most appropriate approach to this? Especially without loosing the antialiasing at the edges that surround the area.

Actually, scratch that. Now the pressure levels aren't detecting AT ALL. I have the tablet enabled in Input Devices, and the pen is Pressure-Opacity but nothing changes based on pressure.
I tried this video but the fix did not work.
I'm in the process of making a command map for the free video game Wolfenstein Enemy Territory.
The games allows to generate a TGA file called Tracemap, which is used by the game to detect which places are outside or inside, for precipitations and artillery. It is commonly used as a base to make command maps, such as:
Other examples:

To obtain a comparable result, I have decomposed the making in 4 steps (4 layers):
- The terrain (background);
- The buildings (in shade of grey);
- The roads (a tool drawing white lines bordered with black and doing the junctions automatically would be neat, if it ever exists...?);
- The "foldings" (that's the Reverso translation, I think it can be guessed from the pic).
So, I exported the terrain in a separated map, compiled it, generated a Tracemap, and I have it in GIMP now. I would like GIMP to detect and do some lines between the different levels like Paint Shop Pro seems to do:
[URL]........
This way, I can draw the height lines accurately, and then color (I already made the palette with required colors); Does this exist in GIMP? Tried few filters but never came close to something like in the Warchest forums.
If it isn't possible I will do it manually ^^'
Every time I use curves on the new 2.8, it crashes out GIMP. I'm on a Mac.
View 5 Replies View RelatedI am preparing a batch of images for test submission, for a stock photo library.Recently a person working for one of the visual effects studios in London happened to tell me that these strict agencies use some set of layers that can separate tonality and color values to check for banding, dirtiness, noise and all those technical flaws that the human eye can't notice on a monitor.He said they perhaps have an action for it so that they can review faster.
He said that it is known as 'Craze Curves' or 'Visibility Curves' technique.He further added that all the studios use it before giving the final files to clients so that there is no issue in printing afterwards.It is sort of a quality control check and has been used by digital and advertising agencies all over the world.
But now his email seems to have changed and I can't get in touch with him to know how to use the technique.
Enlarging an image results in pixalization becoming very obvious. Is there a way to smooth the curves of the enlarged image?
View 2 Replies View RelatedI would like to insert some text and have it aligned to a curve or circle. Preferably the curve would not be visible, but used only to align the text.
View 6 Replies View RelatedMy problem is that when I try to modify path, I can only manipulate one curve, and then it won't recognize any more curves - when I hover the cursor above next curve I want to change, the cursor icon is that with rectangle, not the one with four arrows, and when I click on the curve, it just adds new node in this place. It never happened before. I don't know how else I could describe this problem, but I made a short video that displays it better: [URL] ........
View 1 Replies View RelatedI've been trying to make gimp-curves-spline get variable (which is number)instead of number and I get error.
For example -when I do:
*(gimp-curves-spline drawable 0 6 #(0 0 0 15 255 255))*
everything works well as it should be.
but if I do:*(define spoint 15)*
*(gimp-curves-spline drawable 0 6 #(0 0 0 spoint 255 255))*
I get an error: *Error: Item 4 in vector is not a number (argument 4 forfunction gimp-curves-spline) #( 0 0 0 spoint 255 255 )*As you can see, all I did was replacing the number 15 with a variable(which is a number) I also check it is a number by the *number?* type predicate
I am attempting to set up a batch that automatically runs gimp-curves-spline on a set of images. However, I have never used Scheme before and therefore am not sure why my script is returning "batch command experienced an execution error"
Here is the command I am using to call the script(via a windows .bat file)
gimp-2.6.exe -i --verbose -b "(color-curve "C:\gimpbatchtest\*.tiff")" -b "(gimp-quit 0)"
And the script itself:
(define (color-curve pattern) (let* ((filelist (cadr (file-glob pattern 1))))
(while (not (null? filelist)) (let* ((filename (car filelist))
(image (car (gimp-file-load RUN-NONINTERACTIVE filename filename)))
(drawable (car (gimp-image-get-active-layer image))))
(gimp-curves-spline RUN-NONINTERACTIVE image HISTOGRAM-VALUE 3 '(0 0 64 200 128 46))
(gimp-file-save RUN-NONINTERACTIVE image drawable filename filename)
(gimp-image-delete image)) (set! filelist (cdr filelist)))))
I am working on an image of Elvis and using layers and blending techniques to put the music to one of his songs over his face. But I want the musical overlay to mold to the curves of his face. Is there a way to do this? The blend mode I'm currently using is Multiply. I have tried other layer modes but it still does not give me the effect that I'm looking for.

I have been using Gimp for a while now. I just recently switched from PC to MAC and installed Gimp on my new MacBook (OS X, Snow Loeopard). I was editing some photos and want to use the clone feature to remove some birds from the sky and for some reason it will not allow me to use clone.
View 2 Replies View RelatedI recently found GIMP and think it is amazing. I've been a PhotoShop user for years, and actually prefer GIMP. The one thing I can't seem to figure out is holding me back from using GIMP exclusively, and that is the Record Action feature. I have to manipulate about 100 pictures per day - simply resize a picture to 6x4" @ 300 dpi, save it, resize again at 100 dpi, put a 10 pixel; black border around it and save it to another directory. I can do this to a hundered picitures in about a minute with PhotoShop, but it takes quite a while with GIMP.

View 2 Replies View RelatedI want to select a specific color from within the image, and change all similar colors within that image to a different color. In other words, after using the Color Picker Tool to select a color from the image, I want to take the selected color (and everything in the image that is equal to or similar in color), and change them all to a different color.
I tried using the Path's Tool to create an outline in the image, and changing colors that way, but it changes all the other colors in the selection I don't want to change. I just want to change all colors in the image/selection that are equal to or similar to the selected color. How do I do this?
I have been working with some GIS data in the form of SHP files in autocad map 3D 2011. On one of my layers I have started getting "Feature was not saved in the target feature source" when I try to check in my data. In total there are 308 errors in the data table, all of which were features I deleted. They all have a featID of null and I cannot remove them from the data table. I need to fix these errors without going back and starting over.
