I was looking for a script or plug-in that could make fade-outs. I couldn't find one so made a batch script that uses GEGL.



It needs "sudo apt install gegl"
I want to use this for animated objects with an alpha background but it also works with no alpha channel like above.
For an animated sequence of frames select the last 30 or the first 30 and export them with ofnuts 'Export all layers' to a folder.

On linux run the script in a terminal in the folder like this:
./GEGLfade30Frames.sh

I also use 'pack linked layers', 'Rename layers' and 'Reverse/Mirror layers' to achieve this or to import and use the fade outs.
This script is a sledge hammer approach. It would be better in python with sliders and forward and backwards options.

I'm new to Gimp and this kind of software in general. I'm using the clone and healing tools and must've clicked something wrong because now the ability to use either is not working. When I select either tool, there is no circle cursor, just two small crosses or a square targeting with the sides missing. Clicking control doesn't hold either in place. I've tried reseting Gimp to default settings and the issue persists.

Hi everybody :

Hi eveybody :

       When selecting TEXT>drawing text box on diplay, I notice an "Empty Layer"
keeps showing.  When I type my text, it shows up in the Empty Layer.  But I can't
see the text on the display. I'm trying to add text to a photo.

Hello,

I'm trying to blend two folders of images together using mode LCh Colour. I can get it working for one image at a time but am struggling to automate it. I have tried Python-fu and BIMP, but haven't been able to get them to work for this problem.

Any advice?

Thanks

I used a plugin made by Markku Koppinen also named Ottia Tuota : Perspective Transform - 4 points to 4 points
I made a new layer under the 'music page' layer, layer 'white'
Made a copy of the 1st stave (layer 'music line copy') 
Made a path along the 'music line copy' (small blue path - consists of 3 lines / path 'source')
Copy the path to a new layer, scale it to 200% and moved it to the top of the 'white' layer (on the picture not visble / path 'move to')
Use the Ottia Tuota plugin (set 'keep original layer' to 'yes')
Now the layer 'music line copy' is enlarged and moved to the top of the 'white' layer as layer 'music line copy/perspective transform'
Second try with an angled stave  (I copied and rotated for this example as layer 'angle line'):
Made a path along this music line (small red path - consists of 3 lines / path ' angled')
Moved the 200% blue path from the enlarged stave a litle down (big blue path / visible on the picture - path 'move to')
Use the Ottia Tuota plugin (set 'keep original layer' to 'yes')
Now the layer 'angle line' is straightened and enlarged and moved under the first enlarged line, layer 'angle line / perpective transform'
Lot of arrows, but easy to understand (I think...)

Hello
If i export an indexed (palette generated from graphic-colors) graphic with transperencies as png, there appear weird things at reimport:
After closing and reimporting there is always a random colored extra cell in the index-palette of the graphic.
And often all pure black (all rgb channels 0) pixels are turned into transparency.

I decided to report it here:
gimp bug-report
But this needs an account and i cannor receive the gonfirmation mail

Can someone report it for me there, please?

I just installed Linux Mint 21 x64 with Gimp 2.10.30. I would like to install a panorama plugin in Gimp. I see three choices Pandora, Hugin, and Stitch Panorama.  Pandora looks like it may be out of date, Will it work with Gimp 2.10? Stitch Panorama requires Gimp be compiled with python support. Is the version of Gimp that comes with Mint 21 have python support? 
Has anyone used these on Gimp 2.10 and what were your impressions?

Hi,

I have a process that I need to perform multiple times in the future, so I started looking into the Script-fu documentation and tutorial on gimp.org. I can sort of follow the explanations and if I would keep at it for a day or so I might be able to get somewhere. (Edit: Actually, I'm not sure if I could manage it).

I decided to turn to this forum and ask the open question whether anybody (who is obviously infinitely more experienced  ) is willing to get me going with a basic script. You can take this question two ways:
He's just being a lazy bum and let us do the work... (Please then let me know if a question like this is 'not done').
Oh, that's easy, I'll put something simple down, then he can take it from there and tweak and learn Script-fu...

My objective is to create an image in 5 shades out of a black and white picture. But before turning it into the shades, it needs to be Gaussian blurred to an X amount. The amout of blur depends on the picture. So the solution is trial and error. I do GB 10, 15, 20, 25, 30. Then I look at the results to select the best one.

Imagine the base-image is opened. The repetitive actions then are:
- Blur picture Gaussian blur 10;
- Image > Mode > Indexed 5, optimal palet, max colours 5;
- Save as pic10.jpg Same folder No compression;
- Undo;
- Undo;
- Blur picture Gaussian blur 15...
and so on.

Is there someone out there willing to give it a shot? I will also continue reading/working on it.

Thanks!   Thomas.

PS. I'm using GIMP 2.10.22.

Hey everyone,

I've been trying to figure out how to create blog cover images in the style of a website theme that I purchased but haven't had any luck.

Can anyone show me or point me to an online tutorial for creating images like these ??  I know they're SVGs with sortof isometric shapes and gradient backgrounds, but I can't put it all together.  

   

   

Thank you!
