  2.10 Stalls when opening XCF project on MacOS
Posted by: traderrjoe - 07-28-2022, 07:53 AM - Forum: General questions - Replies (3)

Statistics:
2017 MBP running 10.15.7 MacOS Catalina
8 GB Ram
Vanilla 2.10 GIMP with no plugins or anything.

I've found one other thread with the same problem but did not see a solution provided at all.

When I open a saved XCF file, the canvas shows with just the transparency, yet most of the layers are marked as "visible," and I also am unable to change to a different tool, cannot zoom in or out, basically can't perform any function at all. I am still able to "close" the project and GIMP recognizes that by showing GIMP up top instead of the project name, yet nothing in the working area changes. I think it may just be the XCF file is corrupted, but this same issue comes up with 2 other projects. 

I don't think this is a GIMP issue as I am still able to create a new project, and even open up older XCF files. And a fresh reinstall still creates the same issue. 

Converting the file to PSD at least shows the canvas correctly but still "stalls" the program. 

I tried to just recreate the project by basically tracing over the exported PNG in a new project but that same file appears to have corrupted as well. 

Any ideas?

  Suddenly drop shadows are too light
Posted by: Klawdek - 07-28-2022, 12:19 AM - Forum: General questions - Replies (4)

Without changing versions of GIMP drop shadows went form being the color selected to being very light versions of the color selected.  I am using layer/layer effects/drop shadow  I have opacity at 100% all the settings are ones I have used many times and it worked fine.  Now all of a sudden the color used for the drop shadow is not the one selected but a very light version of it.  I have included a screenshot.  I am using GIMP 2.10.12 I know everyone is going to say to upgrade to latest version.  However this happened with no changes to GIMP and the last time I upgraded I lost some features.

  Tape damage restoration help
Posted by: Bhang - 07-27-2022, 02:02 AM - Forum: General questions - Replies (4)

I am working to restore an old image and there is a ton of white marks left by tape or some other type of wear. I have been using a combination of resynthesizers heal filter and the clone stamp but it is far too time consuming. I was hoping someone might have a suggestion of how to better deal with this sort of damage.
In the image I included you can see where I have already restored the bottom right portion of the jacket as well as a small portion of the arm and trousers but it is taking a painful amount of time to do this. Any suggestions would be great.
Thanks.

Photo Where is PLUGINS in GIMP?

  Removing Alpha Channel?
Posted by: david - 07-26-2022, 02:27 PM - Forum: Scripting questions - Replies (12)

I have been trying to write a script to automate colour cast removal.
If an image has transparency it "dilutes" the colour cast I am trying to remove.
When I run the following code

Code:
layerClean = pdb.gimp_layer_new_from_drawable(layer, image)                                                    # layer to be cleaned of alpha channel
pdb.gimp_image_insert_layer(image, layerClean, None, 0)                                                        # insert layer
pdb.gimp_image_set_component_visible(image, CHANNEL_ALPHA, FALSE)                                            # make alpha channel non-visible
pdb.gimp_layer_flatten(layer)                                                                                # remove alpha channel
pdb.gimp_image_remove_layer(image, layerClean)


I can look in the channels palette and the alpha channel has gone. In the layers palette I can right-click on the layer and it gives me the option to add an alpha channel. However, if I carry out any action, such as adding a layer, the alpha channel re-appears in the channel palette.
I have tried running the code and then doing a "Save as". On loading the saved file, the alpha channel is again in the layers palette.
I created an xcf file where the alpha channel was filled with 50% grey (7f7f7f Hex) in order to test.

   

I put this into general queries as the same occurs when the actions are carried out manually.

Operating system: Ubuntu 20.04
GIMP: 2.10.32

  GIMP 2.10.32 Python-Fu
Posted by: alecpepe - 07-25-2022, 07:06 PM - Forum: Scripting questions - Replies (1)

I have successfully written a script, which when ran in the Python-Fu console does what I want. I want to make a keyboard shortcut, so I can run this quickly when necessary, rather than pasting it into the console every time. How should I do this? I've tried writing the code in VS code and saving it in the GIMP scripts folder as both a .py and .scm file. The .scm file raises 'unbound variable: import' when I hit 'refresh scripts' under Script-Fu. I cannot find where to run the script as a .py, but it seems to refresh fine. I also do not know how I would bind a keyboard shortcut to a script.

Here's the code, though I doubt this is the issue as it works fine in the console:

import gimpfu
current_image = gimp.image_list()[0]
layer=pdb.gimp_layer_new(current_image, 1, 1, gimpfu.RGB_IMAGE, "white_layer", 100, gimpfu.NORMAL_MODE)
pdb.gimp_image_add_layer(current_image, layer, 0)
pdb.gimp_layer_resize_to_image_size(layer)
pdb.gimp_item_set_visible(layer, 0)

  GIMP 2.10.32, Layer Mode Burn Broken?
Posted by: gasMask - 07-25-2022, 01:50 PM - Forum: General questions - Replies (10)

Hi,
I just installed the latest version of GIMP 2.10.32 on Windows. I was running some tests, and found this broken behavior. Could someone check this out on their system?

1. Load an image into GIMP. I've tried this with both 'png' and 'jpg' file types.
2. Duplicate the layer.
3. On the duplicate layer, apply the default Engrave settings from Filters/Distorts/Engrave....
4. Change the layer mode of the top layer to Burn.
