  LAYER MASK
Posted by: gaystan - 02-14-2023, 08:05 PM - Forum: General questions - Replies (1)

First, I opened my "base" layer (background image).  Second,  I  OPENed AS A LAYER.  Got my "top" image positioned. Added LAYER MASK.  Then  I clicked on ERASER tool > PAINT BRUSH. Selecting the MASK, painting
the area I want to remove (to show background layer beneath). Using the NORMALmade painting. but the MASKED
LAYER has a green bounding box around it. And I can't ERASE  the part of the "top" layer I want to erase. I tried adding an ALPHA CHANNEL. That didn't work.  The ERASE tool isn't working. I'm not sure what I did wrong.  Or didn't 
do properly.   I have GIMP version 2.10 / Windows 10

Question - Newbie confused -
Posted by: galactic-gorilla - 02-14-2023, 06:31 PM - Forum: Extending the GIMP - Replies (6)

Hey everyone,

So I am sure this gets asked all the time, and I apologize if I add to the number of times but even after all the research I have done, I am still not entirely convinced I have put the scripts and plug-ins in the correct places. Below is two screenshots from Edit/Preferences/Folders/Scripts and also /Plugins
                         
           

What I am ultimately confused about is the GIMP I have installed and run is

   

I have two folders labeled "2.0" and "2.10" that contain the plug-ins and scripts I've downloaded, I ended up putting them into both folders because I couldn't seem to get it to work any other way. Although most of them seem to work, I'm not sure what the difference is between these two folders. I'm hesitant to delete either one and test it out myself, as it took me way to much time to get everything working correctlycorrectly. If anyone could provide information or insight into this it would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks

  Gimp Layer Mask
Posted by: iconwilly - 02-14-2023, 08:52 AM - Forum: General questions - Replies (14)

When I made an image in GIMP I overlayed a paper texture onto my photo making the image look like it's made of paper.
But when I transfered the image to VTF or made it my computer background, the paper texture I added seems to be missing, is there a way to add this texture to the image so it looks like this no matter what, when I put it in VTF or any other software.

Thanks.

  Gimpscripter plug in for 2.10?
Posted by: notsogoodyet - 02-13-2023, 10:13 PM - Forum: General questions - Replies (2)

Hello all, I'm a new programmer and somewhat experienced GIMP user. After doing some research into Python Fu I was excited to read about this Gimpscripter plug-in. But when I install it, it shows up in the filter bar - I click on it - nothing happens. I can't seem to figure out if I've installed it wrong or if this plug-in doesn't work on 2.10. 

Has anyone here used Gimpscripter on GIMP 2.10? 
Any tips on why the plug-in might show up but the GUI isn't showing up?

I've extracted the Gimpscripter files like this
AppData
   Roaming
      GIMP
         2.10
            plug-ins
               Gimpscripter.py
               Gimpscripter(Folder)
                  gui(Folder)
                  mockmenu(Folder)
                Doc(Folder)

Any help is greatly appreciated!

  I am new just my photo on back ground
Posted by: Holographic Breathing - 02-13-2023, 02:41 PM - Forum: General questions - Replies (3)

Hi I am new to this.

I have a nice photo of myself and with gimp I have cut out the backgrounds and I think the background is now transparent.
The photo is w1008 x h961

I want to add the photo with the transparent background to a larger background -  w18 66 x h9 61

I have saved a background of this size in white and would like to change it to colour that I would like and then put my picture with the transparent background on the top.

I would really like some help to achieving this because I'm getting nowhere.

Many thanks in advance to anyone who helps.

  Shadow question
Posted by: sl60 - 02-13-2023, 02:48 AM - Forum: General questions - Replies (4)

If I have a tree on a lawn, for example, and I add a cast shadow on the grass, how can I accurately depict the shadow if it hits a vertical wall and climbs upward?

Question Concatenate a layer name with fixed text and variables
Posted by: tkemmere - 02-11-2023, 05:24 PM - Forum: Scripting questions - Replies (2)

Hi all,

I'm learning Python as I go along in the Gimp. Can somebody get me going on this one please?

I have a few variables loaded with figures. (blur is for example 10 and contrast 0.15). I would like to set a layer name, so that later I can save the layer with a filename based on the layer name.

But how do I combine fixed text and variables? It must be something like this, but how exactly?

Code:
pdb.gimp_item_set_name(new_layer, "Blur "+{blur}+"contrast "+{contrast})

I would like the layer name to be "Blur 10 contrast 0.15".

I also tried with "&" but that didn't work either. Nor did it without the "{}".

Am I close? Thanks!  Smile

  Programmatic XCF text layer editing
Posted by: Anthony Buff - 02-11-2023, 03:40 PM - Forum: Scripting questions - Replies (9)

[Image: Perfect-Fit.png]
The above was the answer to a question I found in reddit thanks to a similar quest of mine. I'm set out to do just that, and my lackings on Python programming are very nicely being covered by ChatGPT.

I have text layers in an xcf file with descriptive names and at this point, all I want to do is replace the text in them programmatically from a python script..

Chat GPT has already come up with some python code but it's throwing up a crucial error right at the beginning:

Code:
import gimpfu

line 1, in <module> import gimpfu ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'gimpfu'

Then Chat GPT suggested this:
Code:
import sys
sys.path.append("/usr/lib/gimp/2.0/python")
import gimpfu

Same error pretty much:
line 3, in <module> import gimpfu ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'gimpfu'

Chat GPT suggested to find the location for gimpfu.py

Code:
find / -name gimpfu.py 2>/dev/null

That rendered nothing in my terminal. I'm on bullseye, MX Linux, and GIMP is installed from the repository. I can reinstall should that be the suggestion. I'm on GIMP 2.10.28


Any ideas as to how to go about this? Are there any sample files that could show the editing of an existing text laxer? But then, How can I get python to import the library that talks to the GIMPs API?
