  transparency problem with png's.
Posted by: Whywhywhy - 02-06-2024, 05:51 PM - Forum: General questions - Replies (3)

Hello. Today I have a new problem with removing the background in an image. The alpha channel comes up white after "select>invert>delete" just like it's not a PNG file even though it is. My workflow is thus- File>New>Ok>Layer>Transparency>Add Alpha channel>Click the eyeball in the layers box to pull up alpha(it does come up in the alpha pattern)>click the chain icon to lock. File>Open as Layers>>open PNG file>Paths Tool>Make sure it's in Design>make path>at the end, hit enter to complete the chain>Select>invert>delete. This is where the background should be "alpha" and it's not. It has always worked until today. Yes, I have had the "it must be PNG" lesson already. Any ideas? Do I need to re-load GIMP?  Huh Thanks for your time.  J

Question Changing lighting
Posted by: kikateadrunker - 02-06-2024, 10:43 AM - Forum: General questions - Replies (4)

Всем привет! Smile

Мне нужен ваш совет. 
Опроблему в кратце: Я хотел заменить оранженвое освещение на теле персонажа с оранжевого, на белый, но никак не пойму, как это сделать.

Спасибо заранее! Big Grin



Hi all! Smile

I need your advice.
The problem in a nutshell: I wanted to change the orange lighting on the character's body from orange to white, but I just can't figure out how to do it.

Thanks in advance! Big Grin

  How to apply a gradient with the "Stroke-Visible-Paths" Plug-In?
Posted by: galen - 02-06-2024, 09:02 AM - Forum: General questions - Replies (8)

Both Plug-Ins made by the "Ofnuts" person.

The "Path-Inbetweener" Plug-In creates many layers of Paths within two existing Paths, sectioning your shape up so that it looks like an integration maths problem. Then apparently the "Stroke-Visible-Lines" Plug-In is supposed to be able apply incremental colours from a Gradient to each of those intermediary Paths, so that in theory, with enough intermediary layers, you should be able to apply a colour gradient to a custom shape: by tracing the shape's outline with a Path and then a miniature of the shape at its centre, filling the intermediary space with additional paths, then 'Stroking' those paths with individual increments of a colour-gradient. However all I can achieve using that Plug-In tool is to apply the Background colour to all of those paths.

  Where are instructions for how to actually USE Plug-Ins?
Posted by: galen - 02-06-2024, 08:15 AM - Forum: General questions - Replies (8)

I can install Plug-Ins made by the "Ofnuts" person. But I can't see anywhere at all instructions as to how to actually find each tool, once installed, on the UI. Am I missing something? Does everyone else just automatically know exactly in which hidden corner of the interface each of the hundreds of Plug-Ins is stored? 

I'm trying to use the "Path-Inbetweener" and "Stroke-Visible-Lines" Plug-Ins. Apparently the former is used before the latter; but I've searched every single menu-tab and can't find anything that looks like it corresponds to what the "Path-Inbetweener" Plug-In is supposed to do.

  JPEG XR (.JXR) and JPEG XL (.JXL) support?
Posted by: Xogroroth - 02-06-2024, 08:06 AM - Forum: Extending the GIMP - Replies (8)

Hail:

Lately I am more and more confronted with the .JXR and .JXL format, from my company out.
I often want to edit these, alas ... 
... GIMP does not appear to accept this format.
Which is sad, as GIMP is my tool to go, I like it a lot more than say Adobe's Photoshop, which I also have, but ignore.
Heh.

Is it possible to have these 2 formats in the next GIMP edition, please?

Thank you:
Xog.

  Save to .XCF Default Format Setting?
Posted by: Xogroroth - 02-06-2024, 07:56 AM - Forum: Installation and usage - Replies (6)

Hail all:

Now, I've been using Gimp for quite a while, and all the time, I checked "Save this XCF file with better but slower compression" manually.

How can I make it so, that this becomes the normal, standard form, please?

Thank you:
Xog.

  Decompose to color channels
Posted by: denzjos - 02-05-2024, 10:29 AM - Forum: Extending the GIMP - Replies (2)

With Ofnuts plugin 'Decompose to color channels' I got quick a nice effect on a photo that was taken with a blue spotlicht in the back. Could be done with another workflow, but I found this a quick one.

  Python plug-in error when no image
Posted by: gasMask - 02-04-2024, 07:34 AM - Forum: Gimp 2.99 & Gimp 3.0 - Replies (2)

Hi guys,
So I'm on the road to develop a plug-in for GIMP 2.99.16, but I've just started out. I am taking baby steps and ran into this error at the get-go.

What I want to achieve:
I want the plug-in menu item to be enabled when there is no image opened.

What I changed:
procedure.set_image_types('*')  <- Works.

to:
procedure.set_image_types('')   # <- Broken.

What happens is that the menu item becomes enabled, but when I start the plug-in, I get an error:

"Procedure 'jb-plug-in-first-try' has been called with an invalid ID for argument 'image'. Most likely a plug-in is trying to work on an image that doesn't exist any longer."

I am using the code found at:
plug-in tutorial

 This code doesn't reference an image.

Code:
#!/usr/bin/env python3
# -*- coding: utf-8 -*-
import sys
import gi

gi.require_version('Gimp', '3.0')
gi.require_version('GimpUi', '3.0')

from gi.repository import Gimp
from gi.repository import GLib


class MyFirstPlugin (Gimp.PlugIn):
   def do_query_procedures(self):
       return [ "jb-plug-in-first-try" ]

   def do_set_i18n (self, name):
       return False

   def do_create_procedure(self, name):
       procedure = Gimp.ImageProcedure.new(
           self,
           name,
           Gimp.PDBProcType.PLUGIN,
           self.run,
           None
       )

       # Requires no image, ''.
       # procedure.set_image_types('*')  <- Works.
       procedure.set_image_types('')   # <- Broken.

       procedure.set_menu_label("My first Python plug-in")
       procedure.add_menu_path('<Image>/Filters/Tutorial/')
       procedure.set_documentation(
           "My first Python plug-in tryout",
           "My first Python 3 plug-in for GIMP 3",
           name
       )
       procedure.set_attribution("Your name", "Your name", "2024")
       return procedure

   def run(self, procedure, *arg):
       Gimp.message("Hello world!")
       # do what you want to do, then, in case of success, return:
       return procedure.new_return_values(
           Gimp.PDBStatusType.SUCCESS, GLib.Error()
       )


Gimp.main(MyFirstPlugin.__gtype__, sys.argv)


On another matter, is there a way to refresh the plug-in, as in have GIMP reload it, so that I can edit code and not have to restart GIMP?

Thank you all for your attention,
Charles
