Gimp gradient not working1/17/2024 Thanks Tom….what you say makes sense but somehow it doesn't appear to work that way on my laptop, will stick to my work around until I can figure this one out. I used this hundreds of times on layer masks? Tom.keil well, honestly I can not understand, colour to colour replaces and colour to transparent allows multiple application. Intermediate values are set to the corresponding intermediate colors. It uses image color intensities (0 - 255), mapping the darkest pixels to the left end color from the gradient, and the lightest pixels to the right end color from the gradient. So, everytime I want to do multiple gradients ( doesn't matter radial, linear etc) on an image, I have to add layer mask for each time.Īnd tom.keil, it happens for any gradient mode I select…white to transparent, white to foreground/background, all the same :( The filter runs automatically, without showing any dialog or requiring any further input. I then want to expose another petal or leaf, and when I try to do the gradient again, the first gradient disappears and is replaced by my recent gradient! Layer 2- Add layer mask, use radial gradient to expose petals in Layer 1. ![]() Layer 2- Paste new image ( like texture ) over - multiply THanks for the replies guys but I see my explanation was really poor, that probably explained why I can't even google it! grain merge is the same except with add.Įasy way is to use a gradient from white to TRANSPARENT on the mask, with that you can paint as many gradients as you wish on your mask. that is, 0 refers to middle gray instead of black, and black is -128. it's the same as subtract except it works with signed chars. Grain extract gets the normalized difference between two layers. What exactly does "Grain Merge" and "Grain Extract" mean? I understand the rest, but those two have always confused me. You may do by lighten only, darken only, overlay multiply,average (average=Normal mode at 50% opacity) grain merge. You should try the different tool Mode (the first option in the tool dialog )īut the right mode depend on what you wish, "combine" cumlative gradient is a very generic concept, combine how ? You can try using the overlay mode of the gradient tool when you paint the gradient. Is there somewhere in the Gimps preferences/settings where I can achieve this?Īppreciate any help I can get. I also find interestingly, sometimes when the opacity isn't 100% it allows me to do so but it's not consistent which is really puzzling. My work around at the moment, is after adding, I have to add layer mask, then create another layer mask for next addition….this is really time consuming. When I use gradient on Gimp on layer mask, I'd like to be able to add my gradients one after another on the same layer mask.Įxample - Layer mask, I add radial gradient - fine, then I try to add another gradient, it replaces the first one! But if I need to change it, I have to start all over.This is my first topic since I joined and have a silly question that I can't seem to find on the net and in the discussions here…probably too silly or I'm using the wrong key words. I have been able to work around this by moving the first shape, grouping, and then making a bitmap copy. And this is happening in any shape I have previously created and am now editing. ![]() ![]() I click on the gradient tool, and the line with the square and circle that lets me adjust the shading displays on the screen in the original location instead of in the shape. When I move the second shape on top of the first, the shading in the shape disappears and it is fully filled again. Line them up, group them and and Ta Da - a shaded object. I duplicate that shape, change the color, add the gradient for highlight or shading and then put the shape with the gradient on top of the original object - on the same layer. My normal process is to make a shape and fill with color. ![]() Yesterday, I started having a problem and think I have touched or clicked something to change it's behavior. I have been successfully using the gradient tool to shade shapes without any problems.
