Glitch Art-2

[Espermaschine]

Okay, it took me a while to figure out what this is and that it does not make bathroomfloors (lol).

Was just surfing bandcamp and stumbled over another version of the currently popular glitch effect.

Tried it with Lenna.

I filled in the holes with resynthesizer - heal transparency.

Now im wondering: could the script produce random sized strips ? Or strips based on a mask ?

Real randomness would not give interesting results. You know where to go to see random filters applied mercilessly to random pictures A way to achieve randomness:

• * Add layer, and Filter>Render>Cloud>Solid noise, use largest Y and smallest x
  
• Filter>Blur>Pixelliize, small height (height of the strips), width of layer, to make exact horizontal bands
  
• Start curve, and apply any contrived curve across the histogram to make sure you have true whites and blacks
  
• Use ofn-shuffle-tiles to shuffle the bands
  
• Apply to initial layer as a displace map

Im unable to locate this script.
Link please.

Oops.Never published it. But you can do the same with the "Taquin" filter in GMIC.

I think the base problem with this "situation" is: there isnt an easy way for Gimp to delete the pixels inside a selection and put them on another layer.
Lots of inverting selections and pasting involved.

Even with Ctrl + X and pasting, the strip does not land on the correct spot, because there is not 'Paste In Place' yet.

I guess a script could do this, right ?

You make one or several selections, and the script would delete the pixels inside the selection and paste them on new layers with one mouseclick.

No. Ctrl-X+Ctrl-V works perfectly fine for me (2.8.22), not a single pixel of mispositioning, the pasted strip is exactly above the gap carved in the source layer. If it were not for the Layers list I could think that nothing happened. Unless.... I am too fast and I'm doing this again while the Floating selection of the previous Ctrl-V is still up, in which case things can get strange.

If you are on 2.9, maybe it's a 2.9 bug.

Got it !

What i did wrong was deselecting before the paste.

I just found out another way of doing this, which is more in line with what i have seen in PS tutorials.

make a selection
go to Selection -> Float
move the selected strip
anchor OR create a new layer to get the cut & paste effect
