  How can I avoid the outlines of removed colors?
Posted by: Zydelum - 06-20-2025, 12:47 PM - Forum: Gimp 2.99 & Gimp 3.0 - Replies (1)

Hello,

With Gimp, I select one or more colors by color > Color tab > Color to Alpha.

Starting with this image:
[attachment=13626]

I can eliminate the yellow and blue without the outlines getting in the way:
[attachment=13624]

From another image:
[attachment=13623]

I can remove the yellow and red, but the old outlines remain:
[attachment=13625]

With Gimp, I can no longer reproduce the first technique and avoid the second technique.

Can someone explain why?




Thank you for your help.

  Saving files and creating a "macro"
Posted by: tinkertool - 06-18-2025, 11:09 PM - Forum: General questions - Replies (4)

Hello, I have a couple newbie questions about saving files:

1. When I try to save a file (hoping to save as .jpg or .gif), those file formats don't seem to be available. Is there a way to get them?
2. I did find the "Export As" command,which does list .jpg and .gif file types (as well as many others). This will work, albeit a little slower, but to reduce disk space usage I am lowering the Quality setting to 50%. I see I can save this setting as a default, and then recall the Saved Setting each time I export (save). Is there a way to automatically select my saved setting as a default to avoid having to go through the "Load Save Settings" step each time?

I also have a question about how to save time when performing the same steps over lots of images.  Does GIMP have something like a "macro" capability where I can save a series of steps and have them all automatically applied with the click of a button? I looked into the "Templates" feature, but that doesn't seem quite right because it doesn't appear to offer all the full set of menu options. 


TIA

  Gimp is frozen
Posted by: sl60 - 06-16-2025, 10:55 PM - Forum: General questions - Replies (2)

I'm still using version 10 (I like it!), but I've been working on a file that's 8100x5400 and suddenly everything is frozen. I've worked on many files this size (and bigger) before with no problems. I can't save, delete, x out of windows, etc. Computer is fine otherwise. Any ideas?


Oddly, the marching ants from a previous selection are still active and the windows I have open within the program can minimize and maximize.

I found this on Reddit--is it safe to try?--

I don't know why it works, but killing "GNU Image Manipulation Program Plug-in" on taskmanager brought GIMP back to life. It showed an error message, about the "failed" plugin and I was able to save my file.

Not sure what I just did but accidentally I closed the program--now it works fine. But I lost several hours of work. is there any way to recover it?

  *.TGA file red color shown as black
Posted by: mista_V14 - 06-16-2025, 01:38 PM - Forum: General questions - No Replies

Hi all,

I'm trying to make a custom livery for the LMU game.  It requires 2 TGA files (customskin.tga and costumskin_region.tga).
My problem is that the parts of the car I coloured red in GIMP are shown in black in the game.
I already found out that I have to make some changes in the region file but can't find what I exactly have to do. 

So any advice is welcome.

  Hexagonal grid plugin for GIMP 3.0
Posted by: Scallact - 06-15-2025, 03:21 PM - Forum: Extending the GIMP - Replies (8)

Hi, this is the initial release of my python hexagonal grid plugin converted to the GIMP 3.0 API. The functionalities where also expanded, most notably with the sample sheet output, and a few bugs and calculations corrected.

By default, it creates an hexagonal grid, using a search algorithm for optimal rasterization. It can also output a sheet with multiple hexagonal grid samples, selected by quality, in a nice tabular format.

Requirements:
GIMP 3.0 (and probably later)

Intallation:
Extract the .zip file and place the pl_hexgrid folder inside your user profile's Plug-ins folder.
You can find the plugin at Filters > Render > Pattern

Excerpt from the readme:


Quote:This GIMP plugin aims to draw regular hexagonal grids that fit the pixel grid as perfectly as possible, avoiding some common artefact like blurred vertical or horizontal lines. This optimisation also ensures that each hexagon is exactly the same and symmetrical.

As no perfect fit exists between a square grid (pixels) and an hexagonal one, hexagons' proportions are slightly stretched. The amount of deformation depends on their size. The working size factor of the plugin is the apothem, i.e. the distance between the center and the middle of a face. The user interface presents a more understandable "width" parameter, a measure of the distance between two faces.

Hope it is useful for someone. The included help is very basic and a bit technical for now, don't hesitate if you have some questions.

Cheers!
Pascal

  Modifying DivideScannedImages Batch-Mode
Posted by: waver - 06-14-2025, 06:09 AM - Forum: Scripting questions - Replies (2)

Hello,

since a while I've been using the (I think very good) script "https://github.com/FrancoisMalan/DivideScannedImages"

But one thing isn't optimal for me in Batch-Mode: all the picture that were processed get the name "Crop..." with a number.
It would be more useful to have (also) the original file name in the output name.

In Batchmode there already exists the variable "filename", but when I put it in in the line with the output


Code:
(set! newFileName (string-append targetDir pathchar filename inFileName 

then I get "Error: eval: unbound variable: filename "


I supposed the problem is that the variable is not declared, so I put it in the line for the batch-part:


Code:
(define (script_fu_BatchDivideScannedImages inSourceDir inLoadType inSquareCrop inPadding inLimit inDeskew inAutoClose inThreshold inSize inDefBg inBgCol inCorner inX inY inSaveInSourceDir inDestDir inSaveType inJpgQual inFileName inFileNumber filename)

But than I get "Error: not enough arguments"

What I'm doing wrong? 

PS.: I'm using Gimp 2.10.36 under Linux Mint 64bit
