  erasing
Posted by: adriaannelemans@online.nl - 01-04-2023, 05:48 AM - Forum: General questions - Replies (8)

Just started.  I have an image on wich I paint. When I erase it goes through the whole image and becomes white. How should I erase something and keep my background intact ? I'm sure its easy, but I can't find.

  Resize image within photo
Posted by: bsnmate - 01-02-2023, 04:19 PM - Forum: General questions - Replies (4)

Hello. New to forum. I would like to know how to resize an image within a photo file without reducing the whole photo. I have not been able to get an answer to this question with multiple searches. Most posts have to do with reducing/compressing the entire photo file, and this is not what I want to do. I want to shrink an image to make a more usable wallpaper. I am new to photo editing so am very ignorant of terms so please be gentle. Thanks

I still use MS Word 10.  I have a desktop PC.  Why can't I do more than download gimp?  No problem there, but I can't open it or use it.  Thanks.

Python ofn-path-inbetweener

Just made a small update. In the simple cases (two lines, plus maybe a "guide", you can have everything in a single path, instead of  making a path for each).

New version available at the usual place.

Hi,

What I want to do is open a pic, go to Colors - Levels - Auto Input Levels, and then save file. Only I want to do it on a folder of scanned photos. Is there a way to do that automatically?

Thanks!

  GEGL Drop Shadow in Script
Posted by: BaconWizard17 - 12-31-2022, 03:36 PM - Forum: Scripting questions - No Replies

Hi all,

Currently, I often use the GEGL drop shadow tool to create outlines on some images. This is a process that I repeat often, so I would like to be able to automate it via script. However, the only scripting option that I can find is for the legacy drop shadow. The legacy version doesn't have as many options, and some of them are interpreted differently, so I'm not able to replicate the same effect with the legacy version. Does anyone know if there's a script out there that can replicate the GEGL drop shadow tool's effects? I've done some googling, but I haven't been able to find anything so far.

  Python Fu Image Creation - Slight Issues
Posted by: BaconWizard17 - 12-31-2022, 06:00 AM - Forum: Scripting questions - Replies (10)

Hi all,

I decided to finally start learning Python-Fu (I'm already familiar with Python), and I've been getting a feel for it by converting some of my older Script-Fu scripts to Python-Fu. It's going well so far, and I've been able to convert a few. Currently, I'm working on one of my scripts to create a preview image template. Formerly, I had a series of scripts that I could use to create different sized previews. I've streamlined it to one single new Python-Fu script with two sliders that allow me to customize how big I want the preview image canvas. The sliders determine the number of rows and columns, and then the image and guides are generated from that. The script works well, but there are two issues:

  1. When I don't have any images open, and I run this script, the dialog for it appears, and there are two dropdowns at the top for "Input Image" and "Input Drawable", above the sliders for number of rows and columns. Both say "(Empty)," and that's the only option. If I already have another image open, these dropdowns don't appear. Is this normal? Is there any way to prevent these from appearing? 
  2. The image, when created, is black. The older script-Fu scripts (that essentially had the same coding) would create a white image. I'm sure there are many ways to make the image white, but how do I default to that?
Here's the Python-Fu code:
Code:
#!/usr/bin/env python
# -*- coding: utf-8 -*-

from gimpfu import*

def multiSkinPreviewAny (theImage, theLayer, columns, rows):
   # Establish the dimensions of the image based on the number of rows and columns
   theImageWidth = 543 * columns
   theImageHeight = 1080 * rows
   # Create the image
   theImage = pdb.gimp_image_new(theImageWidth, theImageHeight, 0)
   # Create the main layer
   theLayer = pdb.gimp_layer_new(theImage, theImageWidth, theImageHeight, 0, "Background", 100, 28)
   # Add the layer to the image
   pdb.gimp_image_add_layer(theImage, theLayer, 0)
   # Add guides at the top left and bottom right
   guide = pdb.gimp_image_add_vguide(theImage, 0)
   guide = pdb.gimp_image_add_hguide(theImage, 0)
   guide = pdb.gimp_image_add_vguide(theImage, theImageWidth)
   guide = pdb.gimp_image_add_hguide(theImage, theImageHeight)
   i = 0
   # Add 1 vertical guide for every column
   while i < columns:
       xcoord = i * 543
       guide = pdb.gimp_image_add_vguide(theImage, xcoord)
       i += 1
   # Re-initiate the counter
   i = 0
   # Add 1 horizontal guide for every row
   while i < rows:
       ycoord = i * 1080
       guide = pdb.gimp_image_add_hguide(theImage, ycoord)
       i += 1
   # Display the new image
   display = pdb.gimp_display_new(theImage)

register(
   "python_fu_marvelmods_common_multiskinpreviewany",
   "Create template grid for skin preview images.",

main()

And here's one of the Script-Fu scripts for comparison:
Code:

        (gimp-image-add-vguide theImage 543)
        ; show the new image on the screen
        (gimp-display-new theImage)
   )
)

   ""
)
; register the script within gimp menu
(script-fu-menu-register "script-fu-mua-xml2-2x2-preview" "<Image>/Marvel Mods/Skin Previews/Multi Skin Showcase")

Any input is appreciated!

  Pasting from MS Snip is only B/W
Posted by: RealGomer - 12-31-2022, 12:24 AM - Forum: General questions - Replies (3)

I'll use ms snip to clip excerpts from email to paste into GIMP 2.10. For some reason, the pasted image is only in B?W (gray tone) not color. Why?
