I have been playing with the Gradient Flare in the filters. There are a lot fo edit commands here which I like, but I seem to be missing one, the direction of the flare. They always seem to run from the lower left to the upper right. Is there a way to turn the flares in different directions? I have gone through all the commands and still havnt had no luck.
View 1 RepliesI have made a tv icon and on the object that's suppose to be the screen I would like to add a Lens Flare effect.However, I cannot seem to get the Flare placement just where I would like for it to be also, I used a Gradient (on the screen) of a mid Grey color and White set to Radial but it seems as though when the Gradient Effect is turned on the Flare is behind the Gradient effect. So, I assume I cannot use both ~ together??
But, the lesson by which I followed seems to have used both effects ... ie: the Flare seems to be on top of the Gradient. Thus far I tried to Duplicate the layer and then tried to put the Flare on the duplicate and I have tried different Layer Blends, Opacity etc, but I cannot seem to achieve the desired result.
The blue one is the one I made. The red one is a partial shot of the one from the lesson. See how the screen has the Flare effect and also seems to have the Radial Gradient? The tut doesn't offer any instruction as to how the author/artist went about achieving the result.
Using Acad LT 2014, is there a way to adjust the scale of a gradient hatch?
Like the distance between one gradient and the next?I see several property adjustments I can make, but not the scale of the gradient.
A few nights ago I made a couple of pictures on a tripod of my city by night. Unfortunately there is a lens flare visible on all of them near street lights and I want to remove it. However I've ran into a problem since cloning and repairing isn't suitable since they aren't on a even surface and the Free Selection; Colour -> Components -> Channel Mixer method is making awfull colours in the corners near the lamp. (mostly visible on a selection border which meets the lamp area at an angle of approx 45-90 degrees) This problem probably is because this part of the picture hasn't got an even brightness due to the lamp.
I attached a example of the flares.

I have figured out how to turn on pen sensitivity. I use Gimp at work on a Mac, and at home on a PC. I teach HS art, and we've been using Gimp exclusively in our computer graphics classes for the last year, and plan to continue with it in the future.
The issue I'm having is the poor sensitivity to pressure with Gimp. I'm using an Intuos4 tablet, and the level of sensitivity in Gimp is roughly 10-20% of what it is in Photoshop. I'm wondering if there is a way to increase/adjust the sensitivity of the pen pressure in Gimp.
I've been trying the new 2.8 version of Gimp and find I don't like it. Is there a way to disable some of the new features. For example I don't like the use of group layers. I've gotten used to just seeing all of my layers in a single list and being able to move each one independantly if necessary. Is there a way to disable this feature? Second, I really don't like the need to "export" just because I need to change the file type. I'd rather just save in the file name I need it to be in as it has been done in past versions, this ads extra steps for simply saving a file. Can this also be a disabled feature so that I only have to click save and tell gimp what file to save it as? Third I don't like that the text box shows the font, size etc when on the workspace. It gets in the way when I'm trying to adjust the location of the text. I rather it just have the box and control the font size,color etc from the tool box. Is this a feature that can be disabled as well? In otherwords is it at all possible to revert those features to what it was in 2.6 as far as UI. If not I think I'll have to reinstall 2.6 until I have no choice but to update it and just live with these features despite the fact that they actually make what I do problematic.

While I'm at it, I may as well ask another question as well. I'm used to Jasc Paint Shop Pro 8, and on there you could adjust the "step" of a brush. Is there a way to do that on GIMP?
Also, is there a shape tool where you can create spheres or squares?

Gimp 2.7 now offers the ability to add crop marks to print outs.
However, where can I find the setting for how far they should appear from the picture's edge. I want to adjust the width of the bleed, which is 0 (zero) at the moment (which is completely pointless of course).

I'm still working on old family photos (it's a long-term project). This one is from my parents' wedding album, and it's an original black-and-white photo from 1952:
Maybe it's me, but I just don't like all those different gray tones, and I would love to get my mother's gown whiter (which it still is, BTW). I have tried a few things to even things out:
- Brightness/Contrast
- Threshold, Levels, Curves (I have to admit, I don't know what I'm doing with these; it's sort of hit-or-miss)
- Auto adjustments
- Fuzzy select to try to get the darker pieces more like the lighter ones, but the adjustments I just listed aren't doing what I want and are hard to see anyway; I thought the Bucket tool might work but I don't know how to use the gray area I want as a fill color.
What is wrong with my GIMP? This behavior persists in every 2.6 and 2.8 build I've tried, in fact I'm pretty sure I first discovered it somewhere in 2.4 .
It's GTK bug #644032 - certain adjustments made to the Hue-Saturation tool (with overlap) may have problems handling the red/magenta wraparound properly. Which was supposed to be fixed eons ago (and with exception of this one specific usecase, it already WAS - see GTK #527085).
It originally happened while trying to adjust the color balance on a scanned image containing ambiguously red/magenta hues (yes I know we have an actual tool for Color Balance, but I've never been able to quite wrap my head around what adjustments yield which results). I have attached a sample file demonstrating expected vs. actual results with this usecase. My GIMP is clearly screwing the pooch on these adjustments ... but HOW, because even when I browse the online git repo the relevant source code looks like it should work perfectly (I've even mentally stepped through it and verified correct results, unlike my actual GIMP).
Try performing the same adjustments on your GIMP (note which build and version) - do you get the same results I do?
Is there a way to adjust the colour balance on multiple layers at the same time?
View 2 Replies View RelatedI have a text layer with width given at its creation. When I later open text editor and enter some wider text, it is wrapped to second line. So I would like to enhance the width of the layer to prevent this. When I add width to the layer using "Layer Boundary Size" menu item, text layer gets converted into standard bitmap layer . I don't understand the logic why a text layer isn't preserved on change of its size .
Is there a way how I can adjust size of text layer without its conversion to a bitmap?
What I'm in the process of doing is creating shapes in Sketchup and exporting them as 2D images. Obviously, those images have a lot of "dead" space around them that I would like to reduce.
I'm able to select a rectangle selection tool and select my image, with the goal of pasting it into a new image which will have much less "white" space around it. My question, is there a more precise way of doing this? I need to cut out an even pixel space, for example, a 128 x 64 (both sides need to be even), how do I know what is the size I'm cutting out? And sometimes it's hard to do correctly do it with my mouse, is there a way to adjust the selection borders with the keyboard instead?
there's a way to setup a keyboard shortcut to adjust pressure and rate for airbrush and smudge tools? I swear I've been up and down the whole shortcuts list... and perhaps I'm just missing something...
View 2 Replies View RelatedI am a new user to Gimp and have gone out and watched many videos regarding how to use the different tools. I have recently been toying with the gradient tool on some text. Everything worked perfectly at first, but recently it seems to not be responding. Here are the steps that I take:
Open a new file with transparent background
Create a text box
Type in the text and adjust the font size and style
Go under layer, transparency, and select alpha to selection
Select gradient, select colors, select Dark Only mode
Drag my line from left to right across the text
When I used this exact technique last week it worked just fine, now, it either does nothing at all or will only respond only if I change mode from Dark Only to Normal.
I have recently discovered that there is more to gradients in GIMP than I had previously thought: the different varieties of pre-sets, as well as the"off-set" tool. How to make a new gradient of your own? Any other cool stuff? (Being able to manipulate gradients would be cool.)

I have an image I am trying to create that I want to fade from right to left. In other words, I want the right side of the image to be full clarity, color, etc., and have it generally fade to almost gone by the time it gets to the left edge. Think of it as a gradient for an image.
Any way to do that with Gimp?
