View 11 Replies View RelatedI just installed Gimp on a few of our machines at work, the main reason being to allow users to import images from our network scanner and manipulate them etc...
If we scan several pages at once and import them in Gimp, only 1 page is imported. Once this is saved and closed, we then have to go through the whole process of File > Acquire etc. again, for each page scanned. (We use Fuji-Xerox mailbox scanner utility).
With Photoshop, when importing multiple pages from the scanner, all pages are imported to the main program at once.Is there any way to acheive this in Gimp? It's the only real problem we have with it.
I have been trying to get my gimp 2.8 fonts to work but they all look similar including the wingdings. I have checked with a word document and the fonts do work. And when I go thru C: to gimp and font folder the wingdings show correctly (eg shapes) in the preview pane. But when i am in gimp and select text and start to type every font looks the same and just types a bold looking abc etc. What can i do.

I'm trying to work with ORF files in GIMP and mostly I get referred to UFRaw. I've been having issues trying to get it to work as a plug-in but to no avail. I'm just starting to use the (GIMP) icon but I'm still getting errors. Below is the error message I get:
Further to this, even when I open files in UFRaw, I'm getting a weird "pin cushion" borders. See below:

That was taken with my 12mm f2.0 lens on an OM-D, however, my 75mm f1.8 doesn't do it:
It's due to the lens distortion but why would UFRaw try to correct it?
No themes work on my gimp. when I go to Edit then preferences then themes it is empty.

When "disabled", it works except with no pressure sensitivity. When "enabled", the tablet can be used to click on menu options and the brush will follow the tablet position at random intervals only when the cursor is not on the canvas.

View 2 Replies View RelatedI like having a source and a working image.. so what I end up doing is opening the source, then creating a new image, then copy/paste the layers I want over..then sometimes scale the items, or whatever..
I cant seem to be able to pick multiple layers to copy or scale.. I can chain them and then move em all together ok.. but as for copy/paste scale.. I haven't managed to find where I can group them and copy/scale .
I find myself creating new layers and making them slightly transparent all the time. But when I do this using Gimp it does not work right? This is what I am doing:
Add new layer
use transparency/opaque slider to change the setting
what happens is that the new layer stays solid until it goes below 50% on the slider and then it disappears, above 50% and it is back. It is like the 50% mark is an on/off switch for the layer.
i have no problems installing new brushes when using windows, you simply extract the brushes in the brushes folder of course I am doing exactly the same thing with my linux machine but I cant seem to get the brushes when i restart Gimp in linux. I even tried extracting the brushes in a couple of other folders within the Gimp/brushes folder. Still they fail to appear ?
View 4 Replies View RelatedI am currently trying to edit some graphics for a newsletter, using GIMP 2.6. However, I can't get the icons in the Toolbox to make any changes on the graphics. These include the Selection, Pencil and Paintbrush icons.
I have tried saving the graphic in several formats, including GIMP's .xcf format, but that doesn't work.
I added a shortcut (Alt-backtick) to invoke a script I had written. I seem to be able to run it once only, but only sometimes, and there seems to be come interaction with other shortcut functions that I can't characterise. The script starts with a dialog.
start GimpSelect XCF file from recents list.Alt-backtick - opens dialog of my scriptClick on OK - script executes successfullyAlt-backtick - DOES NOTHING Also, once this happens things get screwy. Usually the functionality of Ctrl-F gets clobbered also, and I also had an occasion where my shortcut executed the functionality of Ctr-F - i.e. I had just applied a drop shadow, and Ant-backtick repeated that function.
Exiting and restarting Gimp returns things to normal (but broken).
My script just adds an entry field to export-selection.scm so I can enter a filename for the PNG file.
I'm using GIMP 2.8.3 with Mac OSX 10.6.8. I can't figure out how to get rid of a red line through my pictures, or even how to make the clone or the heal tools work at all. Isn't it true that you're supposed to click Control and a spot next to the blemish you want to erase, then click the blemish and it's suppose to disappear?

View 6 Replies View RelatedI'm trying to do a quick project for work and I can't seem to get vertical text to work how I want it to in Gimp 2.8. Gimp 2.6 did vertical text by just typing what you wanted and rotating the layer. With that same process in 2.8, the text rotates, but the layer doesn't. Which means the rotated text gets cut off. Furthermore, when I try to change the size of the layer, Gimp decides it has to undo the rotation first. It's beyond frustrating at this point. Especially because this is such a basic thing to do.
View 6 Replies View RelatedAs a photograher, I have hundredsot thousands of photos in a folder after a shooting. I would like to work with Gimp on all of the photos individually, one after the other.
When I opened the first one in the folder and saved the result I would like to close the first file and go to the second one and work on it. And after the next one and the next one...
How may I go easily -with a key shorcut, for example- go to the NEXT photo within the folder?
There are other programs, like fotoxx or DigiKam able to do this, however, I like better to work with Gimp... if possible.
I am using Ubuntu 12.04 and Gimp 2.6.
Suse 12.2, gimp 2.8-git branch installed in ~/gimp, compiled resynth-git prefixed there, too.Can call "heal selection" and Resynthesize, but the do nothing.
Example: I have a white square with one corner missing, the corner shows alpha. Now I select all the alpha, then call filter-map-resynth, tell it to look 50pixel further, run it, it calculates for a minute, munches cpu and all, and then...Nothing.The layer is correct, it has an alpha channel, alpha is not locked.Tried both heal and resynth.

To work on different parts of images I understand that stacked up layers must be created for the different parts one wants to modify. However, once several different layers are created I don't understand how to switch from one layer to another in order to work on each individually. In the Windows menu I have created dockable "Layers" dialogs and I can see the different layers I've created, but by clicking on one or the other doesn't "get me into" that layer to work on it (to paint, erase etc). Without this basic concept I cant get past square one in working with GIMP.
View 8 Replies View RelatedI've been trying to make the apple from a photoshop tutorial I found - couldn't find one on how to do it in Gimp. Here's a link to it link.
The problem I've got is I can't work out how to get the recess/depression at the top of the apple to work? - as I don't know the proper name for it I'll just say the bit where the stalk comes out.
Some of the other stuff don't work to well. I had to increase most of the blur numbers to get a reasonable look, and no way can I figure out how to reshape the apple or the window reflection./ I've tried using the perspective tool and a few others but to no avail.
Here's a copy of the xcf to take a look, or to use it to make own apple.
The blue layer is a extra added by me. I hope to be able to make a blue/black apple as the final product. For some reason I can't add the xcf, tried a couple of times but no joy.
I am making a poster but not very experienced with GIMP.I want it to look like this:URL...The perspective tool doesn't work because it makes it unreadable as the text I want to use is quite long - 3 words long.

View 2 Replies View Relatedhow to use layers, and how to get the colors under the black ink-lines. The results are so good, I am able to do professional-level work with this excellent coloring/image-manipulation program. Yes, I'm doing paid work with GIMP 2!
However! As I am still experimenting with several techniques [I found that scanning in at 600 on my scanner produces good-enough quality linework to color etc], I tried one cartoon frame at 1200 and although the resolution is excellent, the higher res has meant the program is slow in shutting down/flattening layers, etc. GIMP works fine in 600 resolution and I will stick to this in future.
Is there any way I can convert the resolution down from 1200 to 600 halfway through, which would save me from starting the color from scratch again? I may also have a problem e-mailing the finished pro cartoon artwork at 1200.......The image is in xcf format.
I've set up GIMP 2.8.4 and it works great on my mac with Mountain lion.
However I need to run a batch script on a group of images and all tutorials for that take for granded that running gimp on a terminal window launches gimp. Well in my case it doesn't! And tbh I haven't found where I should point (the path to) the gimp command so that it would run.
So basicaly running Gimp on a terminal returns error no such command. And I need to know what path to add to my mac's PATH variable so that Gimp doesn't return an error. After that I would like to run the batch script from the terminal for the group of images I have.
I am a long time gimp user and also a long time intuos user and I just recently got the airbrush pen for my intuos. I am running windows 7 and gimp 2.8.

I am not sure if gimp recognizes that its a different pen. Any airbrush pen or a pen with a wheel in gimp
