Lesson 2

[Juvenal]

sorry for being retarded but i do not see step 4s filters-strengthen. Its not on the list. Strengthen that is

In the English version, this menu entry under Filters is called Enhance.

Thanks for the help Juvenal. I'm using a Dutch version of Gimp and I do my best translating everything correctly but sometimes I make mistakes like that.

@ Ascarona - Looks good just delte the edges of the c4d so that they aren't cut off by the sig size limits.

its not in Enhance. I dont see what im doing wrong. I doownled loaded and have installed g'mic. Ive extracted the greystoration link you sent meinto the C:\Program Files\GIMP-2.0\lib\gimp\2.0\plug-ins folder. its there and all but its still not an option for me.

So you dont think im insane

[Killerbee]

I recall you had to take all .scm files in the GreyCstoration folder and put them in the scripts folder (.../Share/Gimp/2.0/scripts)

[lolgast]

@ mr. B, I doubt that would do it as it's an plug-in witch uses .exe files. Maybe try getting the files out of the Greycstoration directory and place them loosely in your Plugin folder.

ok lolgast that worked thank you rep for all!

New problem. Im truly pathetic. How do you expand the picuture while keeping the original thing in the center. I keep doing the expand canvas size or something like that (i am on a different computer so i cant check). And do you mean add 175 + 400? Im a bit confused because the oiginal is 400x140 then your saying 175x500....

Go to the image menu-> canvas size. where the first numbers are click off the chain and then add in the 175 x550 than below that should be Offset options with a button to the right labeled Center. Click it

Uhh whats gradient map supposed to do? Its not doing anything that i can detect for me.

[lolgast]

They're supposed to enchange colors, lightning, contrast etc. Could you show me your .xcf file So I can see what your doing wrong?

[mp0295]

Is a box supposed to come up because like i said im clicking it and theres no change on the screen what so ever

Ok like my attachment link in the posting box is gone so um

@ Ascarona - Looks good just delte the edges of the c4d so that they aren't cut off by the sig size limits.

But they already are...

[lolgast]

Just take a look at the up-left corner they' re completely cut off there. Just compare that to mine:
You can see that I haven't got any obviously straight cut off fragments.

[mp0295]

did you forget about me

[lolgast]

Sorry missed your post.
The problem is that you've made a gradient map on an empty layer.
Instead of making 3 empty new layers you should make a "new from visible". You can find it when you right click in your layer box. Do that 3 times and apply your gradients to those layers. Then they should work just fine
