<0> hi
<0> is there a way of working pixel exact when using the rectangle and fill tools ?? (so i have no blured circles when i fill it - i need to be pixel exact)
<0> or also the pencil always create a blured line (also with an hard brush)
<1> defbyte: disable antialiasing
<0> which dialog ?
<0> on the fill-tools dialog i see no such option
<0> this would be realy cool ... it's boring to have this all the time
<0> schumaml: i'm using gimp 2.2.8
<0> schumaml: would you tell me which dialog or where i can set this option ?
<1> defbyte: you set this in the tool options
<1> when creating the selection
<0> you mean the 4 buttons ??
<0> thank you - i found it
<2> is there a plugin for gimp to make buisness cards ?
<3> Agiofws: that's not gimp's job. that's for an office suite like openoffice
<3> it'd certainly not require a plugin anyway. just a proper page setup and manual alignment.
<3> according to your paper template
<3> but OOo can open an existing template like for Avery business card papers, available online in .doc format
<2> could abiword open it aswell ?
<4> scribus is good for business cards as well
<4> but i guess my input is 11 minutes too late
<5> Is there a way in photoshop or gimp to select everything that isn't a certain color?
<4> select color then inverse
<4> would be what i would have said
<6> how can i add a semitransparent green shadow?
<6> found out
<6> i need help
<6> i have a transparent zone. i want to keep it transparent, but a bit darker.
<6> how can i do that with a brush?
<7> hi, i'm pretty new to gimp, and haven't used photoshop all that much... so this may be a stupid question, but... i've been reading some instructions for doing something in photoshop and trying to replicate it in gimp...
<7> the instructions say "Add a saturation layer, blending mode color, and adjust."
<7> but i can't figure out how to add a saturation layer
<8> hmm
<7> when i create a new layer it gives me the option of "foreground color", "background color", "white", or "transparency"
<8> wheres the instructions at? I can take a fair guess at what that means
<7> there isn't a "saturation" option
<7> the instructions are here... http://forums.dpreview.com/forums/read.asp?forum=1006&message=18888310
<7> i'm at step 8
<8> one sec
<7> there's a saturation mode for the layer, but the instructions say to use the color mode
<8> you will probably find you will need to add a manual step in there
<7> that's fine... as long as i can do it... i'm almost there! :)
<7> here's the original pic he was modifying... http://forums.dpreview.com/forums/read.asp?forum=1006&message=18866209
<7> he made it look like that... http://forums.dpreview.com/forums/read.asp?forum=1006&message=18866381
<7> i'm trying to follow his instructions to duplicate the image but can't get it quite right
<8> my guess at this point (i will work through those steps and just check) is to duplicate the layer, go to layers -> colours ->hue-saturation, then increase the saturation and click ok, then with the duplicate layer selected from the layer window select Mode -> Colour
<8> then adjust the opacity
<8> i could be totally wrong :)
<8> gah, bloody glare *goes to close curtains*
<7> but which layer should i copy?
<8> working on that...
<7> there's the topmost layer, which is a flat brown color
<7> copying it and adjusting the saturation didn't seem to improve the image
<7> neither in the soft-blend mode it was in before, nor in color mode
<7> just tried copying the background layer instead, and making it the top most layer, and setting blending mode to color, and adjusting the saturation... that didn't seem to look all that great either
<8> what are you using for step 2, ie channel mixer?
<7> yeah, i used the channel mixer filter, with the monochrome checkbox checked, and r:30.0 g:59.0 and b:11.0
<8> lol, http://forums.dpreview.com/forums/read.asp?forum=1006&message=18870342
<7> well, i think i figured out part of my mistake... in addition to adjusting the brightness in step 5 to make the image darker i was also increasing the contrast, which seemed to darken it as well, but eliminated the nice fuzzyness i want
<7> haha
<8> i think we are on the right track with step 8, but just the earlier steps need matching up better?
<7> yeah, i think for the saturation level what i had to do was copy the background layer, and keep it as the 2nd layer
<7> then do what you said and adjust layers -> colours ->hue-saturation and saturate it to max
<7> and set the blending mode to color
<7> then i went in to curves and played with those for a bit to add some more contrast
<7> but that didn't work too well
<7> all the dark tones in his image are much darker than mine
<7> i don't know how he did it
<8> maybe he has missed something?
<7> yeah, could be
<7> the secret ingredient
<8> 8 out of 9 secret herbs and spices
<7> sigh
<7> well, thanks for helping me figure out the saturation layer thing
<7> at least i learned some new techniques
<7> maybe in a few years i'll get it
<8> i think I have worked out a slight alternative way of doing it
<7> oh yeah?
<8> certainly looks cool :)
<7> don't keep me in suspence! :)
<8> just uploading it
<8> just been playing around with similar things with a space shuttle image
<7> cool
<8> http://www.swinndesign.com/shuttle.jpg <- before http://www.swinndesign.com/shuttle_tinted.jpg <- after
<8> some fine tuning and it would look cool
<7> nice
<7> only thing is that you have a lot of contrast all over
<8> yeah
<7> somehow this guy managed to keep some of the picture soft, while making the shadows nice and dark
<7> with a hazy air overall, but with nice contrast in the shadows
<7> i think i may have figured out a step towards that... the channel mixer settings
<7> i had used some default values... now i'm experimenting making it a lot more contrasty there... r:97.8 g:79.9 b:-61.4
<7> that might have been what i was looking for... but still only on step 4
<8> this ones a bit better http://www.swinndesign.com/shuttle_tinted2.jpg
<7> yeah, that looks less posterized
<7> nice work
<8> added a contrast mask to it
<7> and you're getting more detail
<7> with the contrast mask filter?
<8> http://www.gimpguru.org/Tutorials/ContrastMask/
<8> its a handy technique
<7> that looks interesting
<7> i've just been using this... plugin: http://gerla.net/gimp/contrast_mask.txt
<7> i love how it turns out... but i'm attempting to improve on it with that technique in the dpreview forum
<7> messing with the channel mixer settings certainly helped... but i'm not quite there yet
<8> you'll get there, all part of the fun
<7> yeah
<8> in my view you can do everything that PS can do, the only problem is that PS has some simpler ways of acheiving things
<7> i think the channel mixer settings are the key
<7> if he'd only said what values he'd set it to, i could be sure
<7> yeah, i'm sure gimp can do it
<8> you couls always post a message and ask?
<8> *could
<7> but, like you said, he might have ommited a step... or i may need to insert an extra step
<7> that's true.. he did just post it a couple of weeks ago
<8> are you running linux out of interest?
<7> yep
<7> gentoo
<7> does gimp run on many other platforms?
<8> there is a windows port
<8> how do you find gentoo?
<7> it was a pain to set up about a year ago
<7> but once it's running it's pretty smooth
<7> really easy to add packages... and they almost never break, compared to debian
<8> i am pretty set with Ubuntu
<7> i've never tried it
<7> i know it's really popular, but nothing apart from that
<8> its a little on the bloated side, but I find it easier to have more than I need and scale back, then less that what I need and have to add more
<8> the ubuntu distro with the xfce desktop is a great way to go
<7> i'm just using openbox
<7> it's pretty bare bones, but doesn't hog up resources
<7> and does everything i need
<8> i did install arch last night, but after that I wasn't in the mood for all the building required from that point
<8> and it locked up on an update
<7> never tried that either
<7> i've just used debian, redhat, and gentoo
<7> and slackware back when it was the only distro
<7> well, i think i'm going to give up
<7> my kung fu is no match for his
<8> :/
<7> thanks again for your help, phlosten
<7> i'm going to take off and get back to studying
<7> enough procrastination for one day
<8> join the club, work to do, havent acheived much today at all
<7> oh my god
<7> i feel like such a moron
<7> the image he was describing the technique for was this one... http://forums.dpreview.com/forums/read.asp?forum=1006&message=18868220
<7> i'd opened multiple images, and the one i was trying to reproduce was this one... http://forums.dpreview.com/forums/read.asp?forum=1006&message=18866381
<7> i'd actually gotten pretty close to the first one
<7> now i now why i couldn't get the 2nd one.. because it was done with a completely different technique... doh!
<7> ok, well, now i have even more reason to stop working on it
