  Adding Palettes
Posted by: Shaho - 02-02-2023, 06:33 PM - Forum: General questions - Replies (3)

Question...is there any way to add a complete palette to the Gimp Palette? Have been making new palettes by adding one color at a time to create palettes. Was wondering if there is a way to take the group of colors shown in the screenshot, and add them all at once to make a new palette, or do I have to use color pciker and add them 1 at a time? Thanks for any help.

  Gimp Filter: Adjust images for a slideshow more automatically?
Posted by: Clemens Ratte-Polle - 02-02-2023, 03:51 AM - Forum: General questions - Replies (6)

How to adjust images for a slideshow easily?

Hi.
I want to make a gif-slideshow or video from photos taken manually "free hand" of the same place daily: building a house.

1.Do you know Gimp addons which would help?

2. Special wish for a plugin: Adjusting by setting "alignment pixel points"?
These images must be adjusted very exactly not to get a shaky effect in the slideshow, maybe in a faster animation effect.
First all images must be centered to an exact to be clicked middle point fixed on the first image.
Second all images must then be rotated and stretched a little because taken by shaky hand and slightly different distances and angles.
So i think a special addon could center and rotate photos by giving manually 2 points of orientation which the user must set on each photo: Two same pixels on 2 objects on each photo.
E.g. on a photo of a house it would be 1. the doorknob and 2. the window handle.

The measure tool to straighten images is not exactly enough i think.
And i would temporary ignore the needed third adjustment of correcting the "falling lines" which would need a third pixel in another direction. 

I hope you understand it. Smile 
thx

  Terminology or else
Posted by: Ofnuts - 02-01-2023, 12:02 AM - Forum: Watercooler - Replies (6)

I am writing a script that can work either on vertical or horizontal objects. I need words/expression that refer to

* left/right when working horizontally, and top/bottom when working vertically (begin and end of the "main" direction)
* top/bottom when working horizontally, and left/right when working vertically (begin and end of the "transverse" direction)

Because if I have a single UI, I can't change this dynamically in the input dialog when the user changes the orientation choice.

An alternative is to have two menu entries, one for each orientation, leading to two dialogs and have each dialog use the relevant usual terms.

€0.01 for you thoughts.

  Colors in GIMP Viewport Are More Vibrant Than Actual Image
Posted by: Lucky13guy - 01-31-2023, 07:09 PM - Forum: General questions - Replies (3)

Hey Guys and Gals,

First time post. Please forgive me if this has been discussed before, but I honestly had no idea what to search for in regards to my issue.

Anyway, I've been using GIMP for about 9 months now, and recently I noticed that my images appear to be much more vibrant or saturated in the GIMP viewport than they do when viewed outside of GIMP. This includes images that have never been opened in GIMP previously. It makes photo editing a little difficult, since what you see isn't going to be equal to what you get.

I doubt it has anything to do with my system, but just in case, I've listed some basic specs of what I'm running below.

GIMP Version: 2.10.32 (Revision 1)
Operating System: Windows 11 (64-bit)
CPU: AMD Ryzen 5900HS
GPU: NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3080 Laptop GPU

Has anyone else experienced this? If so, is there some way to fix it so the color saturation matches inside and outside GIMP?

Thanks in advance!

  How to read transparency level ?
Posted by: GauSte - 01-31-2023, 02:57 PM - Forum: General questions - Replies (2)

Hello,
I open a picture with several shapes with several transparency colours.

I would like to pick the colour and the transparency level.
If I use the colour picker tool, I can read the RGB levels for the color, but I can't find the transparency level.

Where can I find it for this pixel ?

Thanks

  Trying to cut 4 equal corners off an image
Posted by: razzer - 01-31-2023, 04:50 AM - Forum: General questions - Replies (4)

Hi , so i am new with gimp and am trying to cut 4 equal corners off an image. So i made a triangle with the path tool  and connected it, so then i can choose " selection from path " and in edit mode i can cut or delete that triangle out. 
                                                                But after that i get lost , i want to then just move the triangle and rotate it and move it to another corner and cut that corner out . Then do that to the 2 remaining corners. Though i seem to not be able to just rotate and move the triangle into position very easily. I can lock it and name it , but it don't seem to rotate . Any help? thanks

  Python Fu - Math operations failing
Posted by: BaconWizard17 - 01-31-2023, 03:44 AM - Forum: Scripting questions - Replies (4)

Hi all,

I'm setting up a script, and part of it is to scale the image to a max size of 256 for one type of texture and a max size of 128 for a different type of texture. That aspect isn't working, so I isolated it into a separate script, and it's still not working. I've managed to figured out where the issue is happening, but not why. Here's the isolated code:

Code:
#!/usr/bin/env python
# -*- coding: utf-8 -*-
from gimpfu import*
   
def resizeMax(image, layer, texType):
   # Determine the max size based on the texture type:
   if texType == 0:
       # primary texture
       maxSize = 256
   else:
       # secondary texture
       maxSize = 128
   # Get the current dimensions of the image
   currentWidth = image.width
   currentHeight = image.height
   # Check which is bigger
   if currentWidth >= currentHeight:
       # Wide image or square
       scaleFactor = maxSize / currentWidth
       pdb.gimp_message("DEBUG: Scale Factor is")
       pdb.gimp_message(scaleFactor)
   else:
       # Tall image
       scaleFactor = maxSize / currentHeight
       pdb.gimp_message("DEBUG: Scale Factor is")
       pdb.gimp_message(scaleFactor)
   # Get the new sizes
   newWidth = scaleFactor * currentWidth
   newHeight = scaleFactor * currentHeight
   # scale the image accordingly
   pdb.gimp_image_scale(image, newWidth, newHeight)
   # Resize the layer to the image size
   pdb.gimp_layer_resize_to_image_size(layer)
   # Display the changes
   pdb.gimp_displays_flush()

def resizeMaxMain(image, layer):
   resizeMax(image, layer, 0)
   
register(
   "python_fu_test_resize_max",
   "",
   "",
   "BaconWizard17",
   "BaconWizard17",
   "January 2023",
   "Resize to Max Size",
   "*",
   [
       (PF_IMAGE, "image", "Input image", None),
       (PF_DRAWABLE, 'drawable', 'Layer, mask or channel', None)
   ],
   [],
   resizeMaxMain,
   menu='<Image>/Test'
)

main()

The issue is the line where the scaleFactor is being determined. For whatever reason, scaleFactor = int(maxSize) / int(currentWidth) is giving a value of 0, even though maxSize is nonzero (defined as 256) and currentWidth is also nonzero (512 in the image I was testing). I used pdb.gimp_message() to verify the values right before the operation, and they're what I expect. Maybe I'm doing the division wrong? I also tried converting maxSize and currentWidth to integers (with int()), but that didn't change anything either. Any thoughts would be appreciated.

  querying new plugins on startup forever
Posted by: Cotillion - 01-30-2023, 11:33 AM - Forum: Windows - No Replies

hi there currently at my wits end i've had gimp running with no issues on my computer with no issues for months however i installed (successfully) the resythesisor plug-in the other day(successully) i was using it for a few days then woke up one day (may or may not have been after update for widows 11 im not sure, tried rolling it back already anyways no dice) and the resythesisor plug-in was nowhere to be found and after exiting gimp completely i could no longer get into it at all. when i try it starts re installing my other apps eg; wordpress, visual studio code, github desktop and a few more i dont remember off the top of my head although a common denominator here is that they are all recent additions ive played it out installing them again and skipping/cancelling them and gimp never progresses past  "querying new plug-ins" . so i've gone to the gimp file location and found the plug in folder thinking that it must have been something i screwed up in there but i cant find anything weird, mind you im no hawk-eye does this sound familiar to anyone or do you guys have any recommendations? greatly appreciated have a good day
