Hi all - I get only errors on PythonConsole 3.04, so my question focuses on a first step line thats "load xcf by script":


GIMP 3.0.4 Python Console
Python 3.12.10 (main, Apr 18 2025, 06:12:22)  [GCC UCRT Clang 20.1.3 64 bit (AMD64)]
➤> import gi
➤> import os
➤> xcfFile = file.xcf.load("E:/TemporaryD/AIWorld/Design/TShirts/2304.xcf")
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<input>", line 1, in <module>
NameError: name 'file' is not defined
➤

Almost all tries with different imports result in similar errors - I tried it for hours, so I cannot remember
what I tried and what not. If anyone here gets this one line running (different path of course) he/she
may ask Tinkerbell for a gift...

Hello,
When exporting my project as a PDF, I get a warning message about missing fonts possibly leading to quality issues (indeed happening).
It says that the following fonts cannot be found: gimpfont229, gimpfont640, gimpfont882. See attachment.
I could not find any related article, nor could find the fonts themselves.
Would you have any clue?
Thanks for your support.

Hi
Hoping someone might be able to help. I've tried so many ways to get this to register and run this simple example in batch mode on gimp 3.0.4
This particular example I am able to register but when its run it fails with a parameter mismatch. 

If I change SF-TOGGLE to something else like SF-INT it does not register. 
I've tried add run-mode the param definition, command line and registry but no combination seems to work. My understanding for 3.x.x is that I dont need to add it as it is automatically added.

I run this from a windows 11 command line. 
In the case of attempts that don't register (I open GUI go to Help > Plug in Browser and search for my script) I don't see any errors in the console (Windows > Dockable Dialogs > Error console) relating to registration problems.
I have put the script in ..Roaming\GIMP\3.0\plug-ins\test-args

Minimal Test Case That Failed
#!/usr/bin/env gimp-script-fu-interpreter-3.0

(define (script-fu-test-args arg1 arg2 arg3)
  (script-fu-use-v3)
  (gimp-message (string-append
                "Arg1 (Toggle): " (if arg1 "TRUE" "FALSE") "\n"
                "Arg2 (String): " arg2 "\n"
                "Arg3 (String): " arg3 "\n"))
)

(script-fu-register
  "script-fu-test-args"
  "Test Args"
  "Test argument passing"
  "Author"
  "2024"
  ""
  SF-TOGGLE "Toggle Test" TRUE
  SF-STRING "First String" ""
  SF-STRING "Second String" ""
)

Command Used
gimp -i --batch-interpreter=plug-in-script-fu-eval -b "(script-fu-test-args TRUE \"test1\" \"test2\")" -b "(gimp-quit 0)"

Error output
batch command experienced an execution error:
Error: in script, expected type: numeric for argument 2 to script-fu-test-args
Stopping at failing batch command [0]: (script-fu-test-args TRUE "test1" "test2")

Expected Behaviour
Script registers with one toggle and two string parameters
Batch mode should accept: Boolean TRUE/FALSE for the toggle. Two string arguments.
Should output the three parameter values

Observed Behaviour
Script registers successfully in GUI
Appears in menu
Batch mode fails with type mismatch for argument 2

Key Differences from GIMP 2.x
3.x seems to:
Handle the toggle parameter differently
Require numeric values even for registered strings
Have stricter type checking in batch interpreter

(Tested on Windows 11, GIMP 3.0.4)

I have three monitors and a TV connected to my PC.
TV is usally turned off.

Gimp is on one of the monitors.

I go to Save As or Export As in gimp. 
The pop-up where I put in name for the file is nowhere to be seen. Nothing.

Then I turn on the TV - and there it is. Extremly frustrating.
I drag the save-window to the correct monitor.

I then go to Preferences and go to Window management - Save Window Positions Now.

ok, all good - so I thought.

Shut down Gimp and restart program.
Try and save again - and the **** save-window tops up on my friggin TV (that is shut off). 

How do I actually save EVERY gimp-window on the correct monitor?

"color profile is not for rgb color space"

I am new to gimp and is trying to make a halftone text that looks like the text here https://imgur.com/a/qOuWdo8. But mine appears like this and I don't know how to fix it or make it look like the one in the reference image https://imgur.com/a/ABNZLiA.

Recreating a logo a friend of mine made many years ago.  Don't know how to get a hold of my friend anymore.
As you can see, I got almost perfect match of font, outline and shadow.  But I can't figure out how to do the LF background.
I'm a graphic noob, so I'm actually impressed with myself that I got this far on my own.
Any help or suggestions be appreciated.
TIA

..always worth having a backup, forums can go offline just when you need them.

Attached two zips resynthesizer containing the most used files + extras.zip just in case you might need one.

For those new to plugins, this in Gimp 3.0

   

...and how does it work, most used these days is heal-selection in the Gimp Filters -> Enhance and an example. As with most graphic editing, it pays to practice.

To remove overhead cables in an image in Photoshop, I use the path and spot healing tools with following process, which is easy and accurate:
- create a new path from the paths panel
- draw a path over one of the cables with the pen tool
- with the new path layer selected open the spot healing brush, setting a suitable width, 0% hardness and set the ‘proximity match ‘ option on
- select the stroke path icon; a healing brush stroke appears on top of the path; PS analyses and then removes the stroke and heals the underlying image
- delete the path

Can a similar procedure be used in GIMP? If not what is the most effective way of editing out such cables in the image?

Hi there, 
I hope someone can help me with this as I admittedly do not have a lot of experience with ICC-profiles and color management. 

I am in the processing of preparing my pictures to be uploaded to a print on demand site.
The site requires that the pictures have a ISO 22028-2 ROMM RGB profile and are in PDF.

While converting the image in GIMP 3.0.1-1 to the ISO 22028-2 ROMM RGB profile goes well enough, when I export my image to PDF, the image becomes quite greyed out / looses saturation. 

I do not know whether this is a GIMP, export settings, or ICC issue, and if anyone can recommend a solution, workaround or use of another programme to succeed, I would appreciate it greatly. 


Thank you in advance
