Thanks,

  Removing unwanted color, make just b & w
Posted by: carljong - 10-28-2022, 06:21 AM - Forum: General questions - Replies (6)

Attached is an admittedly bad scan of sheet music.  It is not being recognized by my piano notation software.

I'm familiar with Colors > Curves to clean up sheet music, but it is not working on this photo.

I saw Despeckle, but the only effect it seems to have is to make things worse.

I wish I could just capture a sample of the bad section, say "this is the pattern", and get rid of it.

Thanks

  Automate adding text into a PNG
Posted by: Joe_Wulf - 10-27-2022, 02:15 AM - Forum: Older Gimp versions (2.8, 2.6....) - Replies (4)

Hello,

I've been tasked to take over a linux-based project.  In that there are two PNG images, and their (source?) XCF files.  Available GIMP version on linux host is 2.08.
There is specific text that must be replaced into these PNG images as the development works towards the next version of the whole project.
Historically the PNG modifications have been done manually.  I'm looking to automate the task, and preferably with BASH (but I can make adjustments).
I have lots of linux SysAdmin, installation, automation and troubleshooting experience.  Until this project I haven't ever used GIMP; I've simply absorbed the existing task.

The process today is to manually copy "PNG1_20220814.xcf" to "PNG1_20221026.xcf" and copy "PNG2_20220814.xcf" to "PNG2_20221026.xcf".
Next I run "gimp PNG1_20221026.xcf"; and manually edit an existing text box (I then do the same thing with PNG2, but its text is in a different place, though the same content).
I use the TEXT tool (block letter "A"), highlight the date/time text and replace it, then I do the same for the verson number.
I then save the new XCF as is, and then Export the image to the same name as a PNG.  This is done for both images; manually.

PNG1/PNG2 text (standard/normal horizontal text):
         Title Line of what it is (unchanging)
         Date and time of the current version in this format:  "20221026@1922"
         New overall version number, in this format:   "MAJ.min.sml".............. examples: MAJ="218" . min="076" . sml="002"

The 'box' this text is in is transparent, the text is some dark shade of Blue for one, and Red for the other.  All of the text is bolded, and using font "Sans 18 px"

I don't know GIMP well enough to know how to describe digitally WHERE these text boxes are, just that I see them when GIMP opens each one up.


I could easily 'delete' the text box, and save a generic image without it, then use that as the source MASTER image forever.
Next, with a simple bash script, I would easily have the correct date/time stamp and proper version number information automatically available from other parts of the project.
I am seeking assistance in how to automate using GIMP, via Linux, in a strictly scripted fashion to automatically open the MASTER image, insert a new text box with the correct 3 lines of information at the specified coordinates, and then simply export the completed image as a PNG with a newly chosen name (as identified in the copy operation earlier).

I believe with some insight into how to automate inserting a 3 line transparent text box, say 20 pixels down from the top edge and 20 pixels in from the left edge, that I could finangle the process to place the text box in the right location with some iterative testing and logical guesswork.  And as long as the insight is also provide on how to open PNG1, do the right text insert for it, then PNG2 and do the right text insert for it, and could save each PNG.... then I'd be much more efficient.

I have done searches throughout out google and youtube, as well as searches against these forums without finding any answer that matched up to what I'm doing.

Thak you, and I appreciate your help.

R,
-Joe Wulf

  CLONE Tool
Posted by: gaystan - 10-26-2022, 07:00 PM - Forum: General questions - Replies (4)

Hi everybody :
   Whenever I try to use the CLONE tool, instead of actually cloning part of an image into another part.
   Instead of cloning part of the picture, I start  "painting" the color in the selected area.

  Gradient 2.10.32
Posted by: Dork Strikes Again - 10-25-2022, 06:59 PM - Forum: General questions - Replies (3)

What are the standard settings for gradient?
I downloaded 2.10.32 and gradient does not work as before.
I cannot lay down multiple radial gradient "bubbles" as I have previously.

  Tools remain active when closed or cancelled.
Posted by: memwaa - 10-25-2022, 10:47 AM - Forum: General questions - Replies (2)

Can someone enlighten me or is this normal:
I'm using the latest version of GIMP 2.10.32, however when I use a Tool or Filter, ie Filters:Blur:Focus Blur and subsequently cancel the operation, the tool re-appears when i click on the screen......in other words, the tool remains active in the background until I select another and then that remain active in the background.
Many thanks in anticipation.

Wink French is a very difficult language to learn.
Posted by: Krikor - 10-24-2022, 04:44 PM - Forum: Watercooler - Replies (6)

French is a very difficult language to learn.

After making use; without success, of some applications, I decided to try other techniques that would make it easier for me to learn this language.

I tried using music.

The technique would be to watch the video several times until I was able to memorize the lyrics and understand it as if it were in my native language.
But after watching this video countless times https://youtu.be/oX5pLwHbllg I realized that this was not working for me. For some reason I couldn't concentrate on the lyrics (although I think I memorized the choreography).

At the moment I have opted for the videos of the cartoon Caillou. I've almost memorized the opening song.

On NetFlix I have the option to watch movies dubbed in French.
The funny thing is that most French dubbed movies never have French subtitles, and when they do, there is no equivalence between what is heard and what is subtitled.

Not an easy task. I wonder how the French manage to learn this language :-)
