I'm making a mixtape and want to take a ninth of nine album covers and put them together. How can I select a ninth of the images to copy into a new one? One would be the top left, the next top middle, etc.

View 3 Replies View RelatedI've tried using GIMP many times, yet I've accomplished very little, given all of GIMP's functionality. For example:
If I want to select part of an image and copy it to another area or to a new image/layer, and also FEATHER the edges, here's how I'd do it in an old graphics app I often used years ago:
1. Select the area.2. Hold Ctrl while moving selection with Move tool.3. Use the slider to soften the edges to my liking.4. Press Enter to anchor selection. Done.
And there were sliders also for opacity and other things. So very SIMPLE because the prog. was designed very intuitively. How would I accomplish the same in GIMP? Well, most of the time, I WOULD ACCOMPLISH NOTHING! At best, I'd enter values into the box, not like the result, enter new values, repeat. And that's on a good day.
Somebody write a SCRIPT/PLUGIN that allows the use of sliders exactly as described above! I desperately want to be a HAPPY GIMP user, but I'm growing ever more hopeless. I don't want to turn on my older PC just to use a graphics app that actually lets me get things done.
Using GIMP 2.6.11 under Windows XP
Is this real? I am really amazed that there is no way to do this. Am I missing something? I have multiple images, each with a unique background layer. On top are multiple other layers, both images and text layers. I was editing one and was about to save it but then realized it was on the wrong background.
All I want to do is select four or five layers from this unsaved image with Background A, copy them and then open an image with Background B and paste them in so there will be minimal issues with alignments and such. I have been editing each of these four layers and there are a fair bit of changes that have been made to just throw them away and start over. The background is not the only difference between the images, it is just what I use as a reference so copying that over to the unsaved image would also require multiple layer copy/pasting.
I have already tried linking the layers but any copy/cut/paste seems to only work on the active layer, unless I am again missing something. This seems like a really fundamental function to not be supported.
I'd like to be to select a layer groups and copy them over to another pre-existing image.
I've been struggling with this for an hour or so, and I haven't found a way to do this.
Is is possible to do this in GIMP?
The closet I've found is a kind of paste where you do this: drag the tab of the origin image over to the tab of the target image. The result is a new layer in the target image called "dropped buffer". However, the entire origin image is imported flattened.
I've been trying other drag and drop operations, but without success. Usually when I drop the selection to the target image, the icon under the mouse dissapears, and nothing actually happens.
I thought this might be a window manager problem. But I get the same results across kde, gnome and xfce.
I'm not new to GIMP by any means, but I am new to THIS Gimp. By that I mean, I recently downloaded 2.8.4 for Mac and got rid of my older copy.
Now I'm having a strange problem:
Whenever I try to copy images from webpages (or anywhere that ISN'T saved to my computer and opened in Gimp), I get a message that says "There is no data in the clipboard to paste" when I attempt to paste it into an open Gimp document.
Is there some sort of setting I have to enable?
How could I select and move two or more images (different layers) together?
Is it possible to align one image considering the position of the other?
I have a task that I repeat all the time, where I have about 20 digital photos that are all taken of something the same size, at the same magnification, but not centered identically. I then need similarly centered, identical size and shape cropped images for all of the images. In Photoshop, a friend with the exact same task solves this by opening all of the images, making a rectangular selection of the appropriate size and shape by eye on the first image, and then dragging this rectangular selection from this first image into each other open images and hand-positioning in each image as he drags it in, so that all of the selections for cropping the images are the same shape and size, and can be individually positioned, rapidly. This exact solution is perfect for this task, and although it works great in Photoshop, selections can't be dragged intact from image to image in the same way in gimp 2.6.11 on ubuntu 11.04/gnome 2.32.1/linux 2.6.38-8 generic , so I am looking for a way to accomplish something similar.

View 6 Replies View RelatedIn some CS6 PSD documents (but not all), when I Select All (no feather) and then Copy, the result in the clipboard is one pixel smaller in height than the original—the bottom row is missing. This is verified by pasting, selecting the layer's contents, and reading the Info window, or by starting a new document which defaults to the clipboard image's size. One pixel too small. In addition, when I paste on top of the original (which usually my intention) you can see everything shift up by one pixel. (Showing that the image has been cropped at the bottom, rather than scaled.)
I am viewing everything at 100%.
Any guideline as to when this bug does or does not happen? I can't find a pattern--maybe it's any Copy that can fail and not just Select All? It seems like it may happen on a previously-scaled document (which I know messes up the text tool semi-permanently). But I hate having to go through the extra step of double-checking the dimensions of every single copy and paste. I'm really trying to get somewhere near my old CS3 productivity, but it's a struggle with all the new bugs!
(This is different from the bug where rectanbgular selections loose one pixel of vertical when you release the mouse button at 100% zoom, although it does sound related. That longstanding bug happens 100% of the time, but at least you can see in the Info box that it has happened—one more constant act of double-checking that PS6 work seems to need. Whereas in this bug, the Info window shows the correct full size of the document after you Select All—but when you Copy, the result has lost data.)
I see now that in the same document, something similar also happens when I simply flatten the document: a single-pixel row turns white... but at the top.
Flattened/background layers seem to be immune from the copy/paste height loss, so I thought I'd just flatten the image I want to copy... but the flatten itself loses data.
why, when i select a groupe of line to make a copy,when i zoom, i can't see anymore half of line.

I selected the quick selection tool and drew a complete circle around the object I want to copy from this photo and to paste the selected area to the layer.

I followed book and online instructions on selection tool uses while in Layers and can't seem to get past this pop up box.

View 6 Replies View RelatedI sometimes go through my images in a randome order, adjusting the most promising and then going back to some of the others later. I'd love a way to isolate those images that I haven't touched, so that I can quickly find them and finish them up.
I tried a Smart Collection eliminating recent images that had been cropped or "adjusted". That should have done it. However, Lightroom doesn't consider local adjustments like the paint brush or gradient filter to be adjustments, so those images remain in the collection, even though I have "adjusted" them with a local filter or brush.
Is there any way to isolate images that have not been adjusted in any way?

View 3 Replies View RelatedI have a quick question about how rotoscopes work in Softimage.
Basically, when I set a rotoscope image in a front viewport, for example, and I set another viewport to act as a front viewport, the rotoscope options aren't synchonized, which means I can set more than one rotoscope image for the same viewport. This gets a little confusing sometimes because I'll be unable to remove rotoscope images from the viewports because I forgot which one I originally set them in.
Is there any way to select rotoscope images and remove them from the Explorer more easily or anything like that, without having to remember the exact viewport and corresponding orientation in which they were originally set?
having just purchased version 4.1 a few days ago. I've imported about 2,500 RAW image files into the program and am learning the ropes for developing and organizing them.
The problem I'm having is that much of the time I'm unable to select photos in the grid view. When I place the mouse pointer over a square in the grid containing a photo, I expect it to "light up" and display the icons for flagging/rotating/rating the photo. In practice, this doesn't happen most of the time and grid squares that won't "light up" cannot be selected. As I move the mouse around the grid, the occasional grid square will act as expected but most of the others will not. The behavior seems random -- a grid square that acts properly one moment may not respond the next time I mouse over it, and other grid squares that were unresponsive may now act as expected.
I've tried pausing over the image for an extended period of time in case this is a performance issue, but if a grid square doesn't light up when I first put the mouse pointer over it then leaving the pointer on it won't get it to respond. If I move the pointer elsewhere on the grid and then bring it back, the square may or may not react.

I’m using Lightroom 4.x on Mac Pro, 10.6.8 OS. MY 1TB internal drive is full so I want to copy all my images to a new 4TB internal drive. I also want to make a back up copy to an external hard drive but not necessarily at the same time.
What is the best way to do this so that Lightroom will have no problem linking to my photos? I’m thinking that making a clone copy via SuperDuper or CCC??
After making the copies to the new larger “originals” hard drive and back up drive, how do I get Lightroom to recognize and to open up the new "originals" drive and link to all my photos?
I was rotating a layer in GIMP but now I can't get off this layer/select other layers.
