Question How can I use GIMP to batch process .png files?
Posted by: Rapidfly - 01-09-2024, 08:52 PM - Forum: General questions - Replies (5)

I'm working on recolouring resource asset files for iTunes to create a dark mode theme - I managed to extract the files and now I'm searching a way to modify the extracted .png files.

The directory looked like this:
[Image: bef.png]

I went through the first 50 or so files manually adjusting the hue/saturation in Photoshop and they are starting to look much more like a dark mode theme:
[Image: aft.png]

Although manually editing them was a sound approach for testing the alterations, there are around 3000 extracted .png files in total so I'm searching for a way to process all of these files as a batch.

I was wondering if there was a way that GIMP could do this - perhaps a script that replaces certain colours with other colours so that it would be possible to create a variety of skins/themes in the future, for many different software. A script that could replicate the photoshop changes (hue/saturation adjustments) as a batch would suffice too as I would still be able to create a very basic dark mode theme for the community.

  Get rid of thin pic border after Crop
Posted by: GMP - 01-09-2024, 07:19 PM - Forum: General questions - Replies (4)

I cropped a pic and it looks fine except I didn't quite get the very outside border of the pic. So there's a tiny line at the top and the right. I did it right on the left. I tried to fix it with the Crop tool, but it didn't work. I tried the Eraser tool, but I couldn't get it to work, since I've never used it before. What the best way to fix this?


I tried the Eraser tool again, and this time it worked. Not sure what I was doing wrong, except this time I chose the tool from the icons on the left

  How to write a script for bundle editing yellow photos
Posted by: Stephen Liu - 01-09-2024, 09:35 AM - Forum: General questions - Replies (2)

Hi all,

I have bundles for old yellowish photos to restore.

I run GUI commands/steps to do the job.  Can I write a script to do the job if I found the GUI commands/steps suitable after testing?

I have no idea of the back-end commands.  Please advise.  Thanks.

Regards

Wink Font missing after instal on M3 Pro Sonoma 14.1.2
Posted by: Frah - 01-07-2024, 04:14 PM - Forum: OSX - Replies (5)

Hi,

I installed Gimp 2.10.36 a week ago on my new Macbook M3 Pro Apple Silicon with OXS Sonoma 14.1.2.

Right after booting Gimp, I noticed that instead of letters, "codes" were scrolling through the screen.
   
Once booted, the problem persisted. 

A week of searching on the internet for now only yields many (too) vague clues, but no clear answer, hence my question; 
What is wrong, and how do I fix this ?

Regards,
Frah

  Changing this image to be transparent
Posted by: tm2383 - 01-06-2024, 09:08 PM - Forum: General questions - Replies (3)

I work as a teacher for the visually impaired (VI) and I need to make this image of a special protractor transparent, leaving the black lines and numbers, so that I can demonstrate it being used to measure angles on an interactive screen. The protractors which come with the screen software aren't VI ones. 
I have looked at tutorials, but haven't successfully managed to do this. How would I go about doing this?

  Select hair, again. However, not outside of head!
Posted by: N00BELIX - 01-06-2024, 05:19 PM - Forum: General questions - Replies (4)

Hi all. I am close to giving up on this one, and need help from you good people.
I have seen all videos and read all tutorials i can find, but i am still stuck.

A problem with these tutorials are that they use quality images. The one i have been given are most likely been taken with a toaster.
It is about the hairline. I can for the life of me not get a good selection. After trying freehand for i while, i realized that it simply is not good enough, Help!

  Simple GIMP question
Posted by: TonyAimer - 01-06-2024, 05:07 PM - Forum: General questions - Replies (5)

I am using GIMP 2.10.18

I wanted to create a geometric object in GIMP but decided to do it in AutoCAD and plotted it as a pdf which worked fine. I did it white on black in Acad and it came out fine as black on white as a pdf.

I tried to import it to GIMP and rotate and resize it to suit the Youtube icon of 300x300 pixels.

I got what appears to be a transparency layer added but there is only one layer containing the pdf.  I am obviously missing something but if this workflow is fundamentally incorrect it would be good to know. 

Any tips would be welcome.

Tony

  Remarkable Recovery
Posted by: zeuspaul - 01-06-2024, 03:04 AM - Forum: General questions - Replies (1)

I had been working on an image for almost an hour when Gimp crashed.  It may have been a conflict with MS Edge browser because the browser greyed out and could not be accessed.  I was able to close the browser with task manager.  All the other open windows seemed to be ok.

Then when I restarted Gimp I was informed that there had been an unexpected closure and I was asked if I wanted to recover. I gave it a go and to my surprise most? of the open and unsaved images were recovered including the one I had been working on.  The ones that did not reappear were the open files that had not been worked on.

  smudge working like paintbrush
Posted by: john harding - 01-05-2024, 09:25 PM - Forum: General questions - Replies (3)

The smudge tool on my Windows 11 PC is not picking up colour.  On first opening it does so, but then stays with that colour ever afterwards.  In other words, it has become identical with the paintbrush.

I have reinstalled several times without being able to correct this behaviour.  

Also, the latest installation has adopted Spanish as its language and I've been unable to reset it to English, partly no doubt because I don't understand the instructions I'm getting in Spanish.

  Gif layers loosing parts when imported
Posted by: Dragon_CO - 01-04-2024, 10:16 PM - Forum: General questions - Replies (7)

When I open my gif it seems to loose parts on every other layer but the "Background" layer. If anyone knows why this happens then I will be very greatful.
