Morning all:

I wanted to share with everbody that a Gimp integration into the Prism Pipeline has been released.

AltaArts/Gimp_Integration--Prism-Plugin (github.com)

Prism is a pipeline tool to organize all the data and files for a project.  It is mainly aimed at the VFX side of things and has support for many DCC's.

 Prism Pipeline - Animation and VFX Pipeline (prism-pipeline.com)

We have been using Prism and Gimp for while now, and I wanted to have them work together.  As of now, Gimp2 is supported.  But support for Gimp3 should be added at some point.

Feel free to use, modify, suggest, etc.

Thanks for all the info,

J.

Hi,
In photoshop,  we have a effect called color range which helps me creating a digital pro mist filter effect but I'm unable to find any similar effect in gimp.
Does any one have any solution or name od the effect.

Downloaded Gimp 2.10.38 for Apple Silicon directly (wasn't sure if I should have done intel).  When I went to open image I tried to click on desktop to import my image so can't choose anything.  Quit program and reloaded but brought me to same page as must have it in cookies, tried clicking show all files on bottom but couldn't click on that either.


Also, wouldn't allow me also tried create new image but wouldn't let me click OK

Hello all.

So I am working on a plugin that saves and exports (amongst other things).  Got it all working, and it exports/saves correctly.

The small issue I have is that after the script exports the image (or other procedures), the status bar at the bottom of the UI (Gimp 2.10) gets stuck on for example "Exporting ...  Cancel" even though the image has been exported (see pic).

I tried  pdb.gimp_displays_flush(), but that does not seem to work.  Is there something I am missing?  Do I need to return a success or anything as a result?



Thanks much,

J.

Hello again everyone,

I am back with a question about automating tasks. I have the image below.

     

It is a quarter of a circle, 90 degrees. I want to make a gauge out of it by cutting it into 100 segments of 9 degrees each. Is there an easy way to do this?

Thanks

Hello!

I am wondering if anyone could help me with tips on how to draw/make a 3d like effect of a box or a frame around a box that has a real sense of depth. What Im thinking of is something like the image below from the game "Hearthstone". If you look at the picture you can see the frame of the box looks really 3D with a lot of depth, and I also really like the way they use metal corners to, as it kind of adds to the 3d feeling.

I have tried to use the built in border effect (filter-decor-add border) like in the other attached image, but it feels very bland and looks at best like a photo picture frame, which is not the effect I am after.

I have also looked at some tutorials that use plugins with bevel and emboss features, but they have been outdated so now the links dont work, or the settings for the plugins have completely different options.

Thanks in advance for any help!

Dear forum members,

I'm having this small annoyance since I'm using Gimp under MacOS (from 2.10.34 to 2.10.38).

In the "File - Open" (or save, or save as) dialog boxes, some of the folders (but not all) have the same plain white icon as the files. It makes them difficult to distinguish (but it doesn't prevent the program from working perfectly).

I'm trying to attach a screenshot, to show better what I'm seeing.

Is there anything I can do about that? Thanks in advance for any advice. BR, Daniel

   

I just installed a new Windows 11 Dell desktop computer and re-installed GIMP (version 2.10.36) and darktable (version 4.6.1).  I spent a long time figuring out how to get photo thumbnails to show up at the top of the screen again when I open photos in GIMP, as they did with my old computer.  However, the problem I cannot solve is this: when I open a raw image through GIMP from my photo files stored on my computer drive, the image loads first in darktable as it should, but the darktable window with the image appears at the bottom of my screen, in the task bar, in a tiny thumbnail.  In order to close it, so it will re-open in GIMP for editing, I have to hover my mouse over the tiny image and click on it to get it to move into the main GIMP layout in larger form.  The images are not opening in darktable in larger form on the main GIMP layout as they always did with my old computer.  I tried uninstalling and re-installing darktable, but that didn't help.

The attached image shows where the tiny thumbnail of the photo opens in darktable when I open a raw image in GIMP from my camera.  I've circled the tiny thumbnail of the darktable window that opens at the bottom of my screen when I open a raw image in GIMP.

How can I get the images to open in the darktable window within the main GIMP layout, so I can close them and they will re-appear in GIMP for editing as they should?  I can't find any menu item in GIMP or any preference item in darktable that will solve this issue.  Any help you can provide will be greatly appreciated - there is no other online help addressing this issue that I can find.  Thanks!

   

When uninstalling, GIMP keeps all of your settings. This is very annoying for me, as sometimes, my GIMP has issues. So I either have to reset my PC, or use a complex method. But I understand people who want to keep their settings. So, here's a suggestion: how about an uninstaller that asks you if you want to keep your settings? That way, people can choose if they want their settings kept or not.

If your script is correctly written, in particular its "registration" code, it gets the active image (and the active layer) as parameters:

   

• An important part is the use of the menu named argument. This makes the registration use the new variant. The older variant where the 7th argument is a full path to the menu item (which is still found in some examples) behaves a bit differently.
  
• The "drawable" can be a layer (usual case) but also a layer mask or a channel or even a layer group. Some scripts can work on all types, others may want just a layer. You can use a PF_LAYER instead of a PF_DRAWABLE but the Gimp error message isn't too user-friendly. Better check in your code and react appropriately.
  
• Since the script works on a drawable, the menu item is disabled if there is no active drawable in the image (this can happen after you deleted all layers). You can of course remove the drawable argument if the script doesn't require a specific drawable (runs on all layers, or generates new ones)
  
• Since the script works on an image, the menu item is disabled if there is no image in Gimp.  You can of course remove the image argument if the script doesn't require a specific image (runs on all images, or loads/generates new ones)
