  Paste image into another and reposition it
Posted by: fixit7 - 09-27-2022, 02:18 PM - Forum: General questions - Replies (2)

I am trying to paste one image into another.

I tried this, but it does not allow me to reposition the image.

But the "paste into" option allows the user to move the pasted portion.

Thanks.

  Merging 2 photo's 1 side at the center remains unclear
Posted by: snowmansion - 09-26-2022, 06:52 PM - Forum: General questions - Replies (6)

   

When trying to scan a centerfold I usually divide them in 2 separate scans which I then try to merge in GIMP.

I open the 2 scans via File - Open as layers in GIMP and then set the canvassize in such a way they both fit. After aligning them I click on Image and then merging all layers together. 

However this issue I then face is that exactly on the middlepoint one part of the image is vague while the other one seems to have a better clear quality.
See the picture attached.  You see that the right part is more yellow and more clear while the left part is a bit vague. 
How can I change this so that all side have more clarity? I now use the Clone/Heal and sometimes the smudge option, however this is time consuming. Is there any way this can be done automatically?

Thanks in advance.

  Copy text in Gimp console
Posted by: Gimpnik - 09-25-2022, 10:59 AM - Forum: Scripting questions - No Replies

State:
   Gimp: 2.10.32
   OS: Win7 x32-Bit

If commands are executed by batch script, the Gimp console opens and there a certain sequence is displayed line by line. However, in contrast to Windows cmd.exe console, the lines can't be copied by right-clicking, but awkwardly via the nested context menu with right-click above the title bar (Edit => Select | Select all | ...).

It is possible to redirect the entire output of the console to a file, e.g. something like:

Code:
[size=medium][font=serif, Consolas]"%gimp%" -i --verbose -b "(BatchCropToContent \"*.png\")" -b "(gimp-quit 0)">"Output_GimpScript.txt"[/font][/size]
however, this does not solve the desire indicated here to be able to quickly copy a text section directly in the Gimp console.


Is there a possibility to remove this restriction and how?

  Accelerate processing of Gimp scripts
Posted by: Gimpnik - 09-25-2022, 10:11 AM - Forum: Scripting questions - Replies (4)

State:
   Gimp: 2.10.32
   OS: Win7 x32-Bit

Processing of tool scripts is unnecessarily slowed down:
Currently it is the case that when batch processing is performed by Gimp via external batch script (tested here especially under Windows), it is noticeable that gimp.exe starts in a new process instance each time, which unnecessarily slows down the repetition of scripts or execution of further commands, since Gimp first uploads all its modules each time - or even worse for each command line in the script. An unnecessary nonsense.
So it would be much more superior and faster, if there would be a parameter here to let gimp.exe load once into RAM and stay there until it is not explicitly removed from there something by (gimp-quit 0).
Under "gimp-2.10.exe --help" however no further parameters are listed at present, which force the execution of the Gimp console in already running instance.
 
And concretely on the example: A following processing under Windows leads currently per gimp.exe command line a delay of around 5 s, so with next following both command line per gimp.exe thus at least (2* 5 =) ~ 10 s are wasted:

Code:
PushD %~dp0
 
set "gimp=%ProgramFiles%\GIMP 2\bin\gimp-2.10.exe"
set "FileExtens=PNG"
 
"%gimp%" -i -b "(batch-crop-to-content \"*.%FileExtens%\")"
"%gimp%" -i -b "(scale \"*.%FileExtens%\")"
"%gimp%" -i -b "(rotate \"*.%FileExtens%\")"
 
(In addition there is the closing of Gimp, which is also somewhat delayed).

Suggestions for improvement?

  MyPaint Brush stopped working after Ubuntu upgrade
Posted by: mirta - 09-24-2022, 08:22 PM - Forum: General questions - Replies (3)

I just upgraded my Ubuntu to 22.04.1 and after the upgrade, the "MyPaint Brush" tool in Gimp has stopped recognizing pen pressure. Other brushes work normally, it's just this tool that doesn't have any pressure anymore. I tried deinstalling and reinstalling gimp, but it hasn't worked.
This is the brush library from MyPaint that Gimp can access and use, right? It's been working normally until the Ubuntu upgrade.

Is anyone else having a similar problem?

  How to make larger image from small identical images like mosaic
Posted by: dprenerov - 09-24-2022, 12:17 PM - Forum: General questions - Replies (4)

Hello,


I searched Google for this, but didn't found an answer.

I have a single png with alpha channel. Let's say 300x300 pixels.


So I need to produce a 1920x1080 pixels image which consists of multiple images like the small one. It should look like a mosaic. It is not important if 1920 can not be divided by 300 without a remainder. I need this image to be used as watermark adding to a video. So the important is to have small images clearly seen on the video, but transparent so to make the video not usable except for a preview.
So I have a single image which is OK to me, just don't know how to create larger image with alpha like a mosaic to be used for watermark.
Please help me with this.

  Translucent images not working
Posted by: NotZaky - 09-24-2022, 07:14 AM - Forum: General questions - Replies (5)

When I try to use a translucent image in GIMP, whether I lower the opacity in GIMP or imported a translucent image, there aren't any translucent pixels and it just ends up like this (image attached). I have an alpha channel and translucent images used to work fine on this exact file. I thought it was a bug, but after downgrading from 2.10.32 to 2.10.28, the problem persists. Can anyone figure out the problem?

  Run batch command line in Fu console beginning with 'gimp'
Posted by: Gimpnik - 09-23-2022, 06:01 PM - Forum: Scripting questions - Replies (7)

If I run the following code in Fu console

Code:
(gimp -i -b '(batch-crop-to-content "D:\Test\*.png")')

or

Code:
(gimp -b '(batch-crop-to-content "D:\Test\*.png")')

so I receive the following error message:

Code:
Error: syntax error: illegal token 1

 
Please help to understand this error.
 
I would like to run the command line via a batch script, but I receive only
"batch command executed successfully" and cant' see more details.
 
How to force detailed output for gimp-2.10.exe console without "echo off" to be able to see for possible errors in the chain of procedures?
In the batch script I have explicitly set "echo on" but this not help here, because gimp-2.10.exe is started as a separate process.
 
Thanks

  product white blends into background white
Posted by: lopsided - 09-23-2022, 04:49 PM - Forum: General questions - Replies (7)

Hello. I wanted to put a white background to this photograph (the first photo, original). But when I modify the levels to make the background completely white, I find that the white of the product itself blends into the background since the white of the product is even whiter than the background (second photo, modified). is there any way to fix this?
Best regards.
