  How can I do a cookie cutter?
Posted by: Dolphran - 06-21-2025, 12:33 AM - Forum: General questions - Replies (3)

I have an arbitrary shape (template) defined as an image that is transparent (alpha) wherever the shape isn't. There can be multiple disconnected transparent areas. As a simple example, imaging a donut shape that is transparent where the donut hole is, and also transparent outside of the donut. I want to apply this shape to other images such that the other image will be modified to be fully transparent in the same areas that the template is transparent. Thus using this as a cookie cutter of sorts. Is there a simple way to do this with Gimp (3)? 
TIA!

  [Resynthesizer3.0] Procedure execution of script-fu-heal-selection failed
Posted by: problème - 06-20-2025, 05:56 PM - Forum: Extending the GIMP - Replies (1)

Hello, 

I download Resynthesizer3.0, I put in C\Users\user\AppData\Roaming\GIMP\3.0\
- plug-ins: 

  • resynthesizer 
         - resynthesizer.exe
- scripts:
  • plugin-heal-selection.scm
  • plugin-heal-transparency.scm
  • plugin-resynth-controls.scm
When I used Heal Transparency i got this error: 
floor: argument 1 must be: number Plug-in 'Heal Transparency...' left image undo in inconsistent state, closing open undo groups

So, I move the scripts files in the plug-ins directory. And I put each file in a folder bearing their names

- plug-ins:
       - resynthesizer 
              - resynthesizer.exe
       - plugin-heal-selection
              - plugin-heal-selection.scm
[*]       - plugin-heal-transparency
[*]              - plugin-heal-transparency.scm 
[*]       - plugin-resynth-controls
[*]              - plugin-resynth-controls.scm


I get this new error: 
Error of execution « Heal Transparency... » : Error: Procedure execution of script-fu-heal-selection failed: Error: Procedure execution of plug-in-resynthesizer failed: The texture source is empty. Does any selection include non-transparent pixels?

  How can I avoid the outlines of removed colors?
Posted by: Zydelum - 06-20-2025, 12:47 PM - Forum: Gimp 2.99 & Gimp 3.0 - Replies (2)

Hello,

With Gimp, I select one or more colors by color > Color tab > Color to Alpha.

Starting with this image:
   

I can eliminate the yellow and blue without the outlines getting in the way:
   

From another image:
   

I can remove the yellow and red, but the old outlines remain:
   

With Gimp, I can no longer reproduce the first technique and avoid the second technique.

Can someone explain why?




Thank you for your help.

  Saving files and creating a "macro"
Posted by: tinkertool - 06-18-2025, 11:09 PM - Forum: General questions - Replies (4)

Hello, I have a couple newbie questions about saving files:

1. When I try to save a file (hoping to save as .jpg or .gif), those file formats don't seem to be available. Is there a way to get them?
2. I did find the "Export As" command,which does list .jpg and .gif file types (as well as many others). This will work, albeit a little slower, but to reduce disk space usage I am lowering the Quality setting to 50%. I see I can save this setting as a default, and then recall the Saved Setting each time I export (save). Is there a way to automatically select my saved setting as a default to avoid having to go through the "Load Save Settings" step each time?

I also have a question about how to save time when performing the same steps over lots of images.  Does GIMP have something like a "macro" capability where I can save a series of steps and have them all automatically applied with the click of a button? I looked into the "Templates" feature, but that doesn't seem quite right because it doesn't appear to offer all the full set of menu options. 


TIA

  Gimp is frozen
Posted by: sl60 - 06-16-2025, 10:55 PM - Forum: General questions - Replies (2)

I'm still using version 10 (I like it!), but I've been working on a file that's 8100x5400 and suddenly everything is frozen. I've worked on many files this size (and bigger) before with no problems. I can't save, delete, x out of windows, etc. Computer is fine otherwise. Any ideas?


Oddly, the marching ants from a previous selection are still active and the windows I have open within the program can minimize and maximize.

I found this on Reddit--is it safe to try?--

I don't know why it works, but killing "GNU Image Manipulation Program Plug-in" on taskmanager brought GIMP back to life. It showed an error message, about the "failed" plugin and I was able to save my file.

Not sure what I just did but accidentally I closed the program--now it works fine. But I lost several hours of work. is there any way to recover it?

  *.TGA file red color shown as black
Posted by: mista_V14 - 06-16-2025, 01:38 PM - Forum: General questions - No Replies

Hi all,

I'm trying to make a custom livery for the LMU game.  It requires 2 TGA files (customskin.tga and costumskin_region.tga).
My problem is that the parts of the car I coloured red in GIMP are shown in black in the game.
I already found out that I have to make some changes in the region file but can't find what I exactly have to do. 

So any advice is welcome.
