Hi all.

Question to experts from scripts.

Everything seems to be simple. I know how to do it, but how to organize in a script (SCM) - ???.

What are we doing?

We take a small image and upscaped with RIS (Reverse Interpolate Scale).

Sounds? And what about practice?

In practice, we open the image and make 3 copies of the layer (in fact 2, but for comparison we leave the original layer). Disconnect the original layer. Let it be "Lena" (512x512).

For the middle of the new 3 layers, we make a "layer" -> "layer size". To see the difference more, I choose a simple bicubic interpolation. And I put the right size for upscape, for example 3500x3500. After that, I will do the layer back: "layer" -> "layer size" -> 512x512.

All three layers are prepared. Now the application modes: on the upper (copies) "multiply", on average (subjected to upscape and downscape) "divide", on the latter "normal". I combine visible layers (the original is turned off).

Now we make an upscape of the entire image (the original layer and united of the three): "image" -> "image size" -> 3500x3500. Including/turning off the layers, we look at the difference.

And what is the actual question? Everything is simple, no?

And how to organize the initial dimensions in the dialog of the window? And even more optimal option is the use of the initial dialogue of "size change". But how to do this in the script?

how to apply curves to multiple images?

Or in more general sense, how to apply a set of operations, in multiple images at once?
Yes, i know about batch mode.

Somewhere i read to import them as the layers of a single image, then how you saved them as individual images?

In the latest Cross windows x64 releases i noticed the Filters>development>python console and Script-Fu console are not included. Is this a bug?
Or is it just not included on purpose?
I have been using the latest Weekly Windows x64 installer and it seems fine. No missing menu items that is.

Just wondering why it's not included in the latest portable zip commits on GitLab.

Thx

Why use one word when three will do ?

Backstory: I was working my way through Frank Walters' GIMP Workbook (2023) and happened to come across a reference to a font called Rockwell. I hadn't heard of Rockwell before and didn't find it among the fonts that GIMP had access to, so I looked a little farther.

I'd been using Windows 10 for five years but recently upgraded(?) to Windows 11. Apparently the fonts in the C:\Windows\Fonts folder aren't the ones that Windows 11 actually uses. A note at the top of the folder window says:

--------------------------------
ATTENTION: This page is being decoupled from Fonts Control Panel.
For more font settings go to the Fonts page in the Settings app.
--------------------------------

I went to the Fonts page in the Settings app and found what looked like the same list of fonts, only in a different format. Rockwell wasn't listed in either place but the Settings app page offered a link to the Microsoft Store.  I downloaded "Rockwell Nova" and it apparently installed successfully. It now shows up on the Settings app Fonts page and at least one app (Open Office Writer) can now access it.

However: Rockwell still doesn't show up in the list of fonts that GIMP can access. In GIMP, Edit > Preferences > Folders > Fonts shows the folders where GIMP will look for its fonts and lets me add other folders if necessary. None of the listed folders contain the newly-installed font, I can't find fonts in any other folder that I have access to, and there's no "downloads" folder with anything in it that looks like a font. Is there any way to tell GIMP where to look for the new font? Or is Microsoft hiding their up-to-date font list somewhere where GIMP can't get to it, and only allowing access to the legacy fonts inherited from Windows 10?

I'm sure I could get along just fine without ever using the Rockwell font in GIMP. Still, might this foreshadow similar font-access problems for other GIMP and Windows 11 users?

GIMP 2.10.38 (revision 1)

On the "Export Image as PNG" dialog, my compression level was set to 9, causing png exports to take over 60s.  If I set it to 4, about 2s.  Awesome, but the next time the dialog comes up: 9.  Is there a way to set this permanently to 4?  (either inside gimp, or somewhere out in config/options/settings files)

Greetings all,

I've used multiple versions of Gimp over the years, although I would not say I'm very good.  It's my first time using Gimp 3.0.0-RC2 (or any 3.0).  Currently running Suse Tumbleweed.

I have svg files created using older versions of gimp (from August of last year, unsure of the edition).  I successfully opened these files in 3.0 but all of my layers are gone.  It's compressed them into a single layer.   Same with xcf-1.0 and xcf 2.0 files.

Is there anything I can do besides going back to Gimp 2.0?  

Apologies if this has already been asked and thanks for your help!

Online, but interesting to try : AI text remove : https://www.experte.com/image-cleaner/text-remover

I tried the text remover on a BW photo with colored text. Just painted letters, one by one.

   

Can anyone help me here, please?  I can only get the Text Tool to write in a green colour, or black. It was all ok last time I used the text tool some weeks ago & I could get any colour from the pallette.   What am I doing wrong or has something changed?
I am using Gimp 2.10.38 on Windows 11. I have attached a file.

Pareidolia is the tendency for perception to impose a meaningful interpretation on a nebulous stimulus, usually visual, so that one detects an unintended object, pattern, or meaning.
