  Overwriting 'software' EXIF tag
Posted by: 6vfde - 11-20-2022, 01:27 AM - Forum: Scripting questions - Replies (2)

Hi!

I'm new to the forum and scripting, and have little GIMP experience.

I am working on my first python-fu script, which opens jpg files, changes them, and saves to new jpg files.

Is there a way to save a file with pdb.file_jpeg_save(), while overwriting the 'software' exif tag?

Even though I set the tag with pdb.gimp_image_set_metadata(), the resulting file has 'GIMP 2.10.32' as its value.

I'm running GIMP on Debian.

Thanks a lot!

  Need some help
Posted by: saih_tam - 11-19-2022, 04:12 PM - Forum: General questions - Replies (17)

Hi

I'm sorry for my bad English. I am really incompetent in advance Gimp using.

I would like to modify the "down right corner" symbol of 'Note_Cymbal_Yellow_Sizzle.png' in order to look like the 'Note_Cymbal_Miss_Sizzle.png' symbol but I don't know how to do that. I would copy/paste the "down right corner" symbol in the other file to obtain the 3 other corners.

I imagine it's a basic manipulation for an expert.

Could someone do that for me please ?

No idea if this has been mentioned before or not. Could you put all the solved questions under another topic so people can look there first - like a FAQ or something?

  Setting GTK Dialog default answers
Posted by: cjsmall - 11-18-2022, 11:59 PM - Forum: General questions - Replies (4)

I'm sure that due to an upgrade from GTK2 to GTK3, the default responses (i.e., the active button) when a pop-up dialog displays changed between GIMP 2.8 and 2.10.  Even after a few years, these changes still bother me.  Is there any way, external to the GIMP code itself, that the default responses for a given dialog can be set?  I'm hoping that there is some kind of external file where this might be set.  I'm just not familiar enough with the GTK internals to know if this is possible or not.

Thanks for any insights.

  Adding/Editing transparency in an indexed PNG
Posted by: out-of-mind - 11-18-2022, 04:23 PM - Forum: General questions - Replies (3)

Hello,

I have an indexed PNG and want to edit the transparency of it - my problem: Transparency is either 0% or 100%

What I'd like to have: I'd like to add a transparency value to each of the 255 indexed colours - so colour 1 is totally transparent, and the others transparency should be set to something between 50% and 90% depending on their brightness (white -> 90%, black -> 50% or something similar) - (I wouldn't mind to edit the 255 colours by hand if necessary).

I did something like this few years ago, but can't reconstruct how I did it - though I ended up with a 24 bit per Pixel PNG, so maybe it's not possible to have an indexed PNG with varying degrees of transparency!?

If I open the indexed PNG it shows two channels, one with the image information and the other with transparency information is a black or transparent thing with nothing inbetween (seems to be just 1 bit of info per pixel) - so maybe it's possible to change that part (and have 1 byte per pixel as well).

Thanks for any hints.

  Surface Laptop Studio pen not working
Posted by: CubeGamer647 - 11-17-2022, 04:27 PM - Forum: General questions - Replies (1)

So I recently got a surface laptop studio and the pen to go with it, it's a touchscreen and it's specifically designed for drawing, but it would seem that gimp can't distinguish the pen from the cursor, and thus it's not detecting any pressure, nor does the other side function as a second pen. Any way to fix this?

  First time with Gimp and drawing tablet
Posted by: PixelSystem - 11-17-2022, 02:18 PM - Forum: General questions - Replies (1)

Hello,
I am trying to get a XP PEN Deco 01 v2 to work with gimp on win10.  I have downloaded and installed their drivers.  However when ever I put the pen to the tablet in gimp it switches from the pencil tool to something that gives the attached image.  I have no idea what is going on.  (also please feel free to recommend any configurations as I am new to art with a drawing tablet.  I tried doing traditional but I find digital a lot easier for me)

  Print image scan larger than actual size
Posted by: fixit7 - 11-17-2022, 04:37 AM - Forum: General questions - Replies (6)

I scanned an insurance card and want to print it larger than it's actual size so the picture is easier to read.

I tried scanning to high dpi with no luck.

Is there a way to do that?

  Painting
Posted by: sallyanne - 11-17-2022, 01:32 AM - Forum: General questions - Replies (2)

I have had this problem for awhile now and thought I may have been able to see what the problem is so didn't post about it before.
Whenever I paint I rarely get a full 100% opaque mark with just one stamp. I have made sure my opacity is 100%  Hardness & force also I have at 100%. I am wondering could it be my dynamics?
Maybe it is the brush? Although I do not always use this brush. I have noticed this with other brushes as well. My brush and size are still set from some healing/cloning I was doing.
