This problem had been driving me bonkers and it's nothing I've done before in other work so this was uncharted territory to me. I'll work that one out later.Īgain: Thank you both so much for all of your help. Perhaps there's a way if Gimp 2.10 doesn't have a compatible G'MIC plugin I will have to figure out a way to be able to have two versions of Gimp installed on my computer. from using giant images and shrinking them down, to trying different techniques with G'MIC and upgrading to Gimp 2.10 I will take all of those suggestions for sure and use them to the best of my abilities. I just need to make sure there's a G'MIC plugin that functions with the new versions.
#MAKING PICTURE SHAPES GIMP UPDATE#
In fact I'm going to likely update to Gimp 2.10 so I have a more up to date version. Thank you both so much for the help! I will be sure to take all of that advice into consideration. For my image above, I created a 1000x1000 plasma image and used it to paint a 400x400 tiled image with the Clone tool.

If this blurs your image too much, you can start with an image approximately 3x bigger, transform it, then shrink it 3x. If you look how it works, the width of your base image becomes the circumference of a circle of the same diameter so it it stretched by a factor of Pi. Is there any way to soften it? I tried with a square image but the further out the edges got, the more distorted and unrecognizable they became.ĭo you think this problem might be resolved if the image that's being distorted is much larger and then cropping into the more "clean" parts so to speak? Thank you so much! That did indeed work! You are my hero, seriously.

Using Gmic? I thought a flip might be required but it looks like that orientation setting has the same function. Just the same in Gimp 2.10 except for the GEGL on canvas rendering.Įdit: While I was using the 'flip' tool that is not necessary with polar-coordinates as there is a 'Map-from-Top' toggle. I did this in Gimp 2.10.18 then realised you are using 2.8 Back to the drawing board, so now the above using Gimp 2.8 duration 3 minutes. Gmic is still an option, the filter is Deformations -> Sphere and there are controls to blur the joint and edges. In Gimp the equivalent might be the resynthesizer + heal-selection plugins.Īnother way is make the image tilable then there is no joint to 'fix' Try double canvas width, duplicate, flip horizontally and merge. I could not make out the tool, might have been some sort of clone. Thank you all so much for your time and help! I have some wild ideas I'd love to try if I can get this circular portal looking shape down.Īttached Files is another PS, "carefully-choose-the-image-to-use" video.Įven then the section mentioned showed a bit of "fudging-in" the joint. It began as a square picture of some clouds that turned into an inward circle and I've been wracking my brain as to how I can achieve that effect in The Gimp.Ĭan anyone help me with this? Suggestions? Tips? Tutorials? Anything? (Again I'm new so I'm unsure if this is, in fact, the right place to be asking questions regarding tips and techniques inside of The Gimp but it seems to be from the other threads I noticed) I'll attach an image to the sort of final result. This is the video, the content I'm speaking on begins at 1:02 and ends at roughly 2:30 Normally that would be pretty easy, but it's the way the end product looks that I'm having trouble achieving in Gimp even with G'MIC.
#MAKING PICTURE SHAPES GIMP HOW TO#
I had recently stumbled across a Photoshop tutorial (I know, taboo and heretical) but it displays how to create a square image and turn it into a specific style of a circle. I hope this is the right place to pose this question. Hey everyone, new here to the forum but have been using Gimp for 17 years (since I was 13)
