View 5 RepliesI'm using Autocad 2013 and have problems when I want to copy some text from Word file. I'm doing that because translating text, which is translated already in Word. I.e., I have a text written in English in Autocad and now I have to select it all, and paste text copied from Word. It changes color (now it's "by Block"), but I change it back to "by Layer; and changes it's style even if in Word it is the same style as in Autocad (it is Arial in Word and in Autocad, but when I paste copied text it is in Times New Roman.
Is there anything to set up not to change this text, because I have a lot of copy/pasteing to do and would save me a lot of time?
I'm running PSPX3. the effect of no compression (or compression factor = 1) on saving files. I've got a JPEG image file straight from my camera that's approximately 4.1MB in size. If I do nothing else but "Save As" with a compression factor of 1, the new file size is approximately 50% larger, or 6.2MB. What has changed to make the file size larger? Both images are still 72DPI, 3648X2736px. I can't image that I have done anything to "improve" image quality, so why did the file size increase?

BIGselectWORD
I'd like to edit just those internal letters for font size and color, etc, but leave the outer letters alone.
In other graphics progs I've tried, you can usually just select those particular letters and edit but I tried that in gimp but couldn't do it
I select the text tool, font and color and I type a word. How can I change the color of some of the letters in that word?
View 4 Replies View RelatedThe goal is to create the trailing effect of a word.
It should look as if the word is coming from the center of the screen to the forefront, either to the top or the bottom of the screen.
How can you changed the text editor to a word processor like word?

View 4 Replies View RelatedIn 2.6, when I had a Selection and wanted to delete the surrounding area in a gradual, smooth way, you obviously just go Feather > Select > then apply the desired amount of the gradient.
While that seems to be somewhat similar in 2.8, there appear to be two major differences:
1) The Feather effect now also smooths out the selection itself. So when I select the outline of a human figure and set the effect number high, it smooths the shape out so that it's basically just an oval.
In the past, the Feather Effect did not alter the shape of the Selection for me. Why is this different, now?
2) The Feather effect itself - the color gradiation - is now much less evident. It seems to now just make the whole image dimmer. Why this is and how I can get it to behave as it did in 2.6? (I use this a TON.)
I can't find an option in the text tool to make a certain word bold or italic or underlined or any other such effect.
View 2 Replies View RelatedI am opening some 300 dpi photographs, but when I go to the "scale image" dialog box in Gimp, the image resolution is listed by default as 72dpi !!
But the pictures were shot in high-res, and when you look at the file properties or open the image in Photoshop, they all confirm that it is a 300 dpi picture. Only Gimp is presenting it as 72dpi. It happens that the photographs are bw, but the color mode is RGB, not grey scale.
How I can stop Gimp down sampling the images automatically if that's what is happening?

I am trying to get the white background changed to yellow to match the web page. I have followed the instructions in the GIMP manual for bucket fill, Foreground Select Tool, edit>fill with fg or bg color. Nothing works. The only color I can get is black when the fg/bg option is black. In the toolbox I have changed both fg and bg to yellow. Still no change. I would like to change a new canvas to the yellow bg color and then copy and paste my image onto it.
When in brush mode, clicking "ctrl" switchs to color picker until yourelease. Is this shortcut editable? What if I want this to be set onAlt instead, for instance?
I could not find any shortcut which looks like it would do this in thekeyboard shortcuts list. Is there one? How to change this shortcut?
I'm trying to copy editable text from a Word file into the text editor for GIMP. Before I upgraded to 2.8, this was possible, but now it seems not. I'm on 2.8.4 using OSX Mavericks on a Macbook Pro.
I'm a terrible speller and since GIMP doesn't support spell check, this was always my workaround.
I am trying to remove some unwanted buildings and replace them with sky. I created a mask, removed the offending buildings, used the clone tool and recreated the sky in its place. All looked great in Gimp. When I export to jpeg, I see the outline of the mask I used and what appears to be areas that were not completely filled with sky using the clone tool.

The dying plug-in may have messed up GIMP's internal state. You may want to save your images and restart GIMP to be on the safe side."I can open other jpeg's just not this certain one.
You know how all pictures are rectangles....
Can you take a picture of a car; select it with the scissors tool ; put it in a new picture file layer; and export it in the shape of a car?
Then when you put it over another picture, it is already edited.
Probably not, but I thought I would ask.
I noted that when opening same jpeg image with the Gimp or a different viewer I get different results:
Gimp is no the right , EOG or geeqie on the left, I note a different tone of blue..
Why?? I am using The latest Gimp in Fedora 15.
I've searched for hours for directions on how I can use my 3D template in GIMP. I purchased the template from a stock photo site. It already does have a 3D appearance with proper shadowing etc. I am creating a 3D book cover. So I only want to fit the jpg image I created,. the flat 2-D one, to my blank 3-D book cover template. I also want to add text to the spine of the book, or an image of this text if that's how it's done.
This would be the same process I think with any sort of 3D template and 2D image. For example, some people create boxes and other items in 3D. But I don't need to know how to create the 3D effect. I already have that in the template I purchased. I just need to know how to add my jpeg image to the template so that it fits properly.
I have been trying to get it to jpg. However it simply will not let me, i do not know why.

Today I shot some more photos and was going to send them to a friend. After I resized them, I tried to save the new file as JPEG and there was no option to do so. I even opened one of yesterday's camera files and tried to save that as a JPEG, and still didn't see the option. All I get is something called .xcf.
I looked at the tutorial, and it said to make sure the mode was set to RGB. It was; I'd never changed this. It seems I've broken something, but I don't know where to look in order to fix it.
OK - so i've done a little bit of an edit to a photo and just wanted to save it to a jpeg so i could use it in other stuff. I was just wondering where this function is?
I've attached an image of the options that are available to me when i select save as.
I have a problem in Gimp I exported a picture as a Jpeg because it fudged up when I saved it to the normal Gimp format. After I opened it again boom all the layers had gone gimps so annoying the more I use it the worse it gets. How to get the layers back that would be good.

Basically they are the same extension and on older computers they could not hold more than a 3 character abbreviated file extension.
But, I want know, what other extensions are relative to Gimp, or what and why is .xcf, .png, .gif, .jpeg, .jpg, the extensions always used? Are there others? What is the relevance to .xcf, and the plug ins are all saved as .scm, .gbr, etc. That part makes sense, but I have a plug in for G'MIC with a strange extension (.par2) and I cannot install it.
I'm having an interesting problem where Windows doesn't recognize GIMP's jpeg exports. This could be due to the fact that I stitched together a composite photo in Windows Photo Gallery (Hugin wasn't working right), and Windows didn't recognize the output, even though GIMP did. So I imported into GIMP, did my usual editing, and re-exported it.
Unfortunately, Windows still doesn't recognize the file as valid (ex. won't open in Paint), and I can't figure out why. I'd attached said file, but it's too large...
Mostly, I am trying to figure out if this is a GIMP issue (unlikely, since other, specifically non-composite, exports still work) or how to resolve the issue, especially given that Windows Photo Gallery might be causing the issue.
I just downloaded GIMP 2.8.2 for MAC and I'm trying to export a file to other formats (PGN, JPEG etc. The export image window greys out and nothing happens for many minutes.
I finally give up and I get this error: Saving '/Users/muladhara2004/Desktop/filename.png' failed: Procedure 'file-png-save-defaults' returned no return values
