  Manage/compare folders
Posted by: Krikor - 06-20-2022, 02:26 PM - Forum: Watercooler - Replies (9)

Could anyone tell me about an application that compares the content between two or more folders in Windows.

I try to keep my Gimps (USB Flash Drive and HD) exactly the same, whenever I make a change in one of them (add or remove a plugin, brush, presets, etc), I make the same change in the other.

But from time to time I end up making unilateral changes, sometimes on the HD, sometimes on the 
Flash Drive.

So when I have time, I compare the folders in my Gimps (FD and HD) and fix the differences. But this is laborious done manually, so I'm looking for some program that makes this routine easier.

Thx!

  Help! Updating libgegl-0.4-0
Posted by: david - 06-20-2022, 09:16 AM - Forum: Linux and other Unixen - Replies (8)

After the latest update to gimp, I need an updated libgegl-0.4-0.

If I do:
apt list --upgradable I get:
libgegl-0.4-0
libheif-dev
libheif1

If I then do:
sudo apt upgrade I get:
that the three packages have been kept back:
3 not to upgrade.

How do I solve this problem?
All help gratefully received.

Edit: I should have added that this is the pandajim 2.10.30 with python 2.7 support (thanks to Rich) - everything working until the update today.

  Pointer size issue
Posted by: dgnyberg - 06-18-2022, 11:48 PM - Forum: General questions - Replies (5)

I just made the switch to Linux and I'm using POP OS with GIMP 2.10.

My cursors are normal sized when using the OS. But, when I open GIMP, the cursor size is massive.
Is there a way to change the cursor size to match the OS cursor size?
I searched through the menus and couldn't see any way to do it.
I tried a couple of things I thought might do it, but had no luck.
Gimp is almost unusable with the super-large cursors.

Thank you for any assistance.

Dave

  Minimize noise in drawings; keep only intended shades
Posted by: Gully - 06-17-2022, 01:34 PM - Forum: General questions - Replies (4)

I am trying to draw/paint with only 4 gray shades on top of a black background. I am then exporting the drawing to a file that is read into Python with the PIL library (for image processing) as an image mask. When the file created in GIMP is read into Python, a quick look at the values associated with the palette indicates about 20 values. I'm only expecting five values, the background and four gray values, and not sure why this is happening. I think it possibly has to do with pixels that are not one of the shades I'm trying to stick to in the drawing, what I consider noise. I don't have much graphics background, so I may not have the language I need to describe my problem.

My workflow is:
1. Add a new layer over a camera image I'm working with. The new layer has a black background, the HTML notation is 000000. Call it "next".
2. I select the next layer, turn off its visibility to see the camera image with AOIs (Area Of Interest).
3. I use the paths tool to trace the outline of an AOI on next layer. I modify the paths to fit the AOI best I can.
4. I stroke the path to finish that AOI. I use a white color to stroke the paths.
5. I repeat 3 and 4. I have 4 AOIs in each camera image I'm working with.
6. I pick one of HTML notation colors 030303, 070707, 0b0b0b, or 0e0e0e as bucket fill for inside of each AOI.
7. I change the zoom to 200 or 400% to get a good look at the white outline of each AOI. I pick the respective gray per AOI and color over the white outline to make the whole AOI just one shade and get rid of white.
8. I change the mode of the layer to Grayscale in the Image menu.
9. In Layer>Transparency> Remove Alpha Channel
10. I export to PNG and save as 8bpc Gray with no background color.

I import the PNG to Python and then find that there are 16-20 values in the image.

I've attached an example of one of the next images. It's hard to see one of the AOIs because the 030303 is hard to tell from 000000, but you can see that AOIs get darker from one end to the other.

Is there a way to make sure that I'm just getting the background and the four AOI shades in the PNG?

Python Trouble replicating posterize with blending option enabled in python-fu script
Posted by: Error - 06-16-2022, 07:29 PM - Forum: Scripting questions - Replies (3)

Hello! I've recently started scripting with gimp and I've ran into a problem with posterize. I believe the issue is with how I am trying to implement the blending option. Does anyone have experience with automating the posturize tool with a blending option enabled?

I've found:
gimp_edit_blend()
gimp_context_set_paint_mode()
gimp_layer_set_mode()

Removed Alpha layer, manually using the posterize tool with 2 levels an color erase blending
[Image: asdf.png]
With my tool set to 2 levels using gimp_edit_blend
[Image: qwer.png]

Code:
srclayer = image.layers[0]
pdb.gimp_image_insert_layer(image, pdb.gimp_layer_copy(srclayer, 0), None, -1)
pdb.gimp_drawable_posterize(image.layers[0], amount)
pdb.gimp_context_set_paint_mode(57)
image.layers[0] = blendColorErase(image.layers[0])

It's quite possible I'm completely missing how the posterize tool accomplishes the blending. So far the results I've been getting are as if I had no blending mode selected (Replace/Normal). I'm aiming to use the Color Erase paint mode, but I'm running out of ideas what I'm doing wrong.

Thank you for reading.
