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!

Hi,

For the last two days I've gone round in circles using both Gimp & Irfanview in an attempt to modify violin music scores.

   

I'm 75 and just learning to play my violins in my small music studio; the sheet music scores are placed on a bench music stand but my eyesight isn't up to reading them whilst playing a violin hence I want to modify by deleting sections whilst enlarging the sections remaining to fit an A4 page when printed.

   

I can delete the unwanted sections as seen but then I get stuck wasting no end of time trying to enlarge the remaining sections to 8" x 1.75" and stacking them to fill the new spaces. I can enlarge each but don't know how to move them as wanted. I'm also having problems printing the 8 x 1.75 using my HP Laserjet P1102W mono printer. I want to print in Portrait then I can place three pages onto the stand meaning dividing each line but I could also print in landscape. I'd prefer to use Gimp.

   

My studio in June; I've now got four violins and a Balalaika plus lots of recording gear; all I need now is to sort out the music scores to suit me then I can concentrate on learning to read music and play my violins.

Any help will be most welcome.

Kind regards, Colin.

GIMP 2.10.32 on macOS High Sierra, Template window contains nothing, it is empty. What can I do? Thank you.

Hi.
First sorry if my word choise is confusing, Im an amateur so I might not understand some term.
Im trying to edit game asset. How do I make a cut on texture to precisely match the alpha channel shape? Using fuzzy tool can be done but it only make a solid cut, some semi transparent will made into solid cut.
In layman's term, how do I make alpha channel as a cast and use it to cut a flat texture so that it will have the exact same transparency?



Edit: Some illutration what Im trying to do.

There is a gif file, when I input it in GIMP and output it as another gif, it is always obviously larger than the input gif. Why? I tried some methods to optimize it.

Sorry I am not able to add an attachment.

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.

How one would load a jpg file while preserving its original 'sRGB' color space? When I open the file through the GUI, GIMP asks me if I want to keep it or convert to 'GIMP built-in sRGB'. However, when my script loads the file with pdb.gimp_file_load(), It just converts it automatically.

I'm running GIMP 2.10 on Debian.

Thanks a lot!

Hi!

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!

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?
