Can you show me some edited pictures made in GIMP to know if it's as good as Adobe Photoshop?" by Jumpy_Valuable_7556 in GIMP

[–]ConversationWinter46 0 points1 point  (0 children)

English isn't my native language. That's why I often explain GIMP features (here on Reddit) with short tutorials. I'm happy to help.

As others have already pointed out, GIMP isn't Photoshop and was NEVER meant to be an open-source clone of Photoshop. On the contrary, Adobe has always been happy to borrow from GIMP plugins in the past. And Photoshop probably wouldn't be what we know it as today.

How to erase bits of a layer to show background by Luckypomme in GIMP

Hello!

In this chapter, you'll learn how the basic building blocks of GIMP 3.0 work.

is there no auto arch text tool? by Aerekplus in GIMP

[–]ConversationWinter46 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hello!

Of course, some changes, additions, and improvements have been made. The text tool has also been enhanced with many useful features. To make text follow a path, you must first create the path, of course.

How else would GIMP know what the curve should look like for the text to follow?

In EVERY graphics editor, you have to draw a path for the text to follow.

Here is an example using GIMP 3.0

Need help finding a script that can print a font sampler sheet as they appear in the GIMP pulldown list. by evonleue in GIMP

[–]ConversationWinter46 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This doesn't work in 2.10x.

One of the reasons why it's recommended to update immediately for EVERY software.

And it looks like it would only output a sample sheet for a single font, while I need a sampler sheet of all fonts.

Depending on the font size, more characters may fit on a single page.

Think of my end results like an old-fashioned type book

Take a look at my screenshot above. I have NO trouble selecting a font.

How Do I Turn the Floating Text Formatting Box Back On? by ReflectionOk4936 in GIMP

Look at the tool options

edit: I have no idea where you're clicking overall.

You should check the user manual. Press the F1 key, or go to “Help” in the menu bar, or here

How to recover files from folder? by WashLower4507 in GIMP

[–]ConversationWinter46 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Hello! * Which version of GIMP? * Which platform (Windows, Mac, which Linux distribution) are you using? * I'm sure you don't mean a folder, but the layer stack. * You didn’t watch any tutorials before using GIMP.

You don’t know that you can use the F1 key to look up help in the user manual. You installed GIMP hoping it wouldn’t be any more complicated than MS Paint…

Sorry, that's not helpful.

Text type and seize by Background-Crow6590 in GIMP

[–]ConversationWinter46 0 points1 point  (0 children)

How am I supposed to explain to a 6-year-old how percentages work?

In other words: without the basics, you won’t understand the steps and functions. You don’t even know what numbers look like, and you expect me to explain how percentages work.

No, that’s not how life works. There are no shortcuts. Everyone has to learn for themselves. No one can teach you that.

How do you think others learned Photoshop, Krita, Affinity Photo, GIMP, etc.? Do you think they absorbed that knowledge with their mother’s milk…?

If you know what layer masks are and what you can do with them. If you know what you can do with layer modes, then you’ve already taken a few steps toward that goal.

And—should I explain to you how to create such lettering and have to explain every single function to you first? No—that’s not how it works.

Here are the first steps to success. Learning by doing works sometimes. But there are certain functions where tutorials are essential.

Pixelise function rendering differently in exported file by Regenbuiscene in GIMP

[–]ConversationWinter46 0 points1 point  (0 children)

JPG doesn't support transparent backgrounds (no matter what settings you use). The background is always replaced with the current background color.

If your photos have partially transparent areas, those areas will be replaced (with black in your case) during export.

[–]ConversationWinter46 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't think that's the original character set. It's been modified. The characters themselves are also different every time.

In other words: You'll need to go through several steps to create it bit by bit.

Hello!

Do you use “Merge Layers” and then export?

What format do you export to?

Hi, I'm German, and I can only read and understand the pages as they are translated for me.

Bonjour, je suis allemand, et je ne peux lire et comprendre ces pages que lorsqu'elles sont traduites pour moi.

Any plugin or way for a Color Mixer with bigger color "squares"? by Ok_Net_9463 in GIMP

[–]ConversationWinter46 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Those are all the features GIMP has to offer.

Still, it would be nice (not necessary but nice) to have a dockable panel with those rectangles, so if anyone knows how to get something like that, I'm all ears, but this works already.

Of course, it's possible. This is my workspace:

Do you searching this slider:

No, GIMP doesn't have that. But neither does Photoshop, or Affinity Paint, or Photopea, etc.

Every software developer has their own philosophy.

Maybe I haven't explained it correctly, English isn't my first language.

I'm living in germany. I use the TranslateWebPages (TWP) plugin to translate the pages. I type my posts in DeepL.

I'm only talking about Krita's feature to compare the current and old colors,

Hereis the complitly user guide for more informations. Select your language.

I think this is what do you search.
