  python console
Posted by: gimpygirl - 02-28-2024, 05:29 PM - Forum: General questions - Replies (9)

Hi

What exactly can the python console do in gimp and for what do you use it?
Is there any docs?

A small example of its usage would be great!

  procedure not found
Posted by: robgab - 02-28-2024, 05:11 PM - Forum: Scripting questions - Replies (1)

Good day to everybody...
I'm trying to call a G'MIC pluging from a pyhon-fu plugin with the following line:

pdb.gimp_run_procedure("script_fu_engrave", [image, layer])

The script I'm trying to call is:

(define (script_fu_engrave image drawable)
  (plug-in-gmic-qt RUN-NONINTERACTIVE image drawable 0 0 "fx_engrave 0.04,40,0,2,45,-1,1,0,10,1,0,0,0,1,0,50,50")
)
(script-fu-register "script-fu-engrave"
                    "<Image>/Filters/Custom/Engrave"
                    "Apply the Engrave filter"
                    "Your Name"
                    "Your Name"
                    "2024"
                    ""
                    SF-IMAGE "Image" 0
                    SF-DRAWABLE "Drawable" 0)

Script and plugin are into the right directories but the code return to me the following error:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "C:\Program Files\GIMP 2\lib\gimp\2.0\python/gimpfu.py", line 741, in response
    dialog.res = run_script(params)
  File "C:\Program Files\GIMP 2\lib\gimp\2.0\python/gimpfu.py", line 362, in run_script
    return apply(function, params)
  File "C:\Program Files\GIMP 2\lib\gimp\2.0\plug-ins\GammaCorr1.py", line 66, in python_fu_custom_function
    pdb.gimp_run_procedure("script_fu_engrave", [image, layer])
error: procedure not found

I spent a full day to try to fix it and I am very frustrated... Is there someone who kindly help me?

  ofnuts request script
Posted by: gimpygirl - 02-28-2024, 05:39 AM - Forum: General questions - Replies (3)

Hi

This is for ofnuts: are you interested in adding a script to your collection that is doong the same as this?

https://www.gimp-forum.net/attachment.php?aid=11260

Then I could always download it from there since this one is not online I think.

  I don't succeed to download an image to 300 DPI
Posted by: Paul - 02-28-2024, 02:10 AM - Forum: General questions - Replies (7)

Hi,

I'm a beginner in the field. Please help me solve a problem. I have a 2500x3500px image, which I have uploaded in GIMP, to make part of it transparent. Then I wanted it to be downloaded with 300 DPI. Although I set the "Scale Image" to 300 DPI, when I downloaded it, I only had a 120 DPI image.
I made several attempts but to no avail,  GIMP refuse to download the image at 300 DPI.
Where am I going wrong?
Thank you.

  snap to grid
Posted by: gimpygirl - 02-28-2024, 12:14 AM - Forum: General questions - Replies (1)

Hi

When you make a grid and then do a crop, the selection with the mouse snaps to the grid automatically when you reach a grid line.
Can this be turned off too?

  Selection deletion making layer turn transparent
Posted by: FolkFriend - 02-27-2024, 04:06 PM - Forum: General questions - Replies (1)

Hello all and thank in advance for your help with this unusual issue! I have been using Gimp for a very long time with no issues but recently whenever I create a selection using the fuzzy select tool and use the delete key to rub it out, I find that the remaining parts of the layer go semi-transparent. Can anybody tell me how to prevent this please?

Thanks!

  ofn-export-layers
Posted by: gimpygirl - 02-27-2024, 01:15 AM - Forum: General questions - Replies (9)

I use ofn-export-layers a lot. Super useful plugin!
I noticed a very strange thing in windows 10 , GIMP 2.10.36

When ofn-export-layers is running (writing files) and I enter text anywhere on my computer, it adds characters I don't enter on my
keyboard like: ~ and ' and many more. So if I write "test", it adds random character in "test" which I dont really enter...

When ofn-export-layers has finished, this strange thing dissapears and I can enter text normally

Also ofn-export-layers runs very slow. Is this related to this?

I wanted to ask if the developer can tell me what this problem could be and if ofn-export-layers can be made faster (if possible).

So I need to wait to enter text anywhere until ofn-export-layers finished his work.

  automate layer movement
Posted by: gimpygirl - 02-27-2024, 01:02 AM - Forum: General questions - Replies (19)

Hi

Referring to this post:

https://www.gimp-forum.net/Thread-Cut-sq...from-iamge

I use the method with the guides and 2 python scripts.

2 questions:

1. Is it possible to automate layer movement? The images all have the same size. The layer needs to be moved in order to fit the guides of size 150 px. Is there a plugin or script that can let me move a layer to a position by entering x,y values or something?



2. Is is possible for the ofn-export-layers to have {numUp0}.png appear automatically so that I don't need to enter it each time when i run gimp?

  How to create a gradient from a profile?
Posted by: grillp - 02-26-2024, 11:31 PM - Forum: General questions - Replies (1)

Hey All.

New GIMP user here.

I am doing  some 3D modelling/rendering and want to create a greyscale bump map from a profile...

The profile is for a scalloped panel, as seen here:

   

So I want to use that profile to create a grayscale bump map like this (Dark is lower, light is higher), that repeats in the y direction, but follows a path that is the profile I am after.. kind of like this:

   

I created this one using a feathered Border Selection from a single central line, but it creates, a peak at the top and bottom of the bump which is not what I am after.

I find that using standard gradients are too linear, and I would like to use a Bezier curve path as the source for the gradient. If that makes sense.

Any pointers would be appreciated.

Cheers

G./

Lightbulb Exported png files get about 100 times larger than expected
Posted by: Grobe - 02-26-2024, 11:16 PM - Forum: General questions - Replies (1)

Hi.

Ok, so first - trying to upload the xcf file failed because of file size, so the only file possible to upload correctly is this png export settings.

Here is the file description.

  • Layer 1 - importet PNG file, file size about 55kB
  • Layer 2 - same dimension and roughly same size, but not same image.
  • Layer 3 - New transparent layer.
  • The layer 3 mainly consists of small spots of non-transparent pixels created with clone tool, so it's just to add/remove some features of a map.
The problem is that after exporting this image file to png format, the resulting file size get over 6MB - that is about 100 times larger, I expected the output png file to be maybe around 70kB at maximum.


Edit : Solved while edit this post

Ok, just figured the solution. The image precision was set to 32 bit floating point, and by converting to 8 bit integer, the exported PNG file became a nice 77kB file.

I post this anyway in case somebody happens to stumble upon same issue.
