  How can I bolden my images of the Moon
Posted by: DistantLight - 10-25-2021, 02:01 PM - Forum: General questions - Replies (8)

Images like the hundreds of craters on the moon or a cliff face with thousands of rocks with shadows sometimes look too smooth.
The Artist Filter Cartoon enhances darker areas that are distinctly darker than their neighbours and works but was not made to do this.
Is there another filter or method to darken multiple shadows?

  Help needed - retracing work
Posted by: Mb4ch - 10-24-2021, 10:06 AM - Forum: General questions - Replies (4)

HI all,

I recently played around with some abstract photography. I was in a state of mind that made it difficult to retrace my steps / filters / effects I applied  Confused Confused  Angel

I know its a long shot but I thought maybe somebody here has an idea what kind of filters / settings have this effect. Take it as a challenge  Big Grin


Original:                https://imgshare.io/image/img-20200617-0...rum.p1HL6t

Outcome:              https://imgshare.io/image/055010-forum.p1HQEj


I am pretty sure I inverted the colors before applying filters, but like I said I was pretty out of it. I am not even sure if it was a filter specifically or other settings which does not make things easier Dodgy . All I know for sure that it is definately that photo as I never renamed it, and I used only part of the original (cropped).  

If you do find out you have my eternal gratitude and utmost respect  Cool

  Stop Loading Windows Fonts.
Posted by: jerryemerydelacruz - 10-24-2021, 01:48 AM - Forum: General questions - No Replies

Is there a way to prevent Gimp from loading the fonts in the Windows>Fonts folder?  I have removed all the font paths from Preferences but Gimp still reads the Windows fonts.

I changed the permissions of the fonts.conf file in Program Files>Gimp2/etc/fonts. Opened the file with Notepad and removed the line <dir>WINDOWSFONTDIR</dir>. I then copied a ttf font to the Program Files>Gimp 2>share>gimp>2.0>fonts folder and restarted Gimp.

Is there any way to copy G'MIC Favorites from other machines?

I have a new version of G'MIC and would like to have my Favorites in this new version. What is the most practical way to obtain this transfer?

Are there any files I can copy and paste to get this result?

Thanks in advance.

  Latest GMIC filters
Posted by: Batfish - 10-23-2021, 11:20 PM - Forum: Windows - Replies (5)

I am a Gimp new user.  Just curious, downloaded the latest version of Gimp - 2.10.28.  Using Windows 10. Upon installing just Gimp - it runs just fine.  Downloaded the latest version of the GMIC filters 2.10 and am getting an error message upon launch.

Procedure entry point g_memdup2 could not be located in the dynamic link library C:\Program Files\GIMP\2\bin\libgobject-2.0-0.dll.

 The GMIC filters do not appear in the Filters tab.  Hoping there is some simple error that I have made.  For your consideration - I thank you.

  Scramble a picture
Posted by: S_H - 10-23-2021, 02:32 PM - Forum: General questions - Replies (2)

Hi,

I'm looking for an automated way to scramble a batch of images. 

That is, to automate this process on a folder of images:
1. upload an image
2. slice the image into 9 equal pieces (the images are not in the same size)
3. completely shuffle the pieces order (such that upper left must not stay in upper left) without changing the image size
4. save

I found ways to do step 2, but because my images are not in the same size I don't know how to batch it. 
I Particularly struggle with step 3.

Thanks a lot for your help

  Split Scripting questions into Python and Script-Fu
Posted by: Gimphried - 10-22-2021, 09:12 PM - Forum: Gimp-Forum.net - Replies (8)

Hello admins,

Would you split "Scripting questions" into  Python  "Python" and "Script-Fu"? Any icon for Script-Fu?

Could we have colored syntax for these two languages? How?

Regards.

  shifting gradient colors ?
Posted by: denzjos - 10-22-2021, 05:38 PM - Forum: General questions - Replies (10)

Is there existing a plugin/script that can shift a gradient by x steps? Let's take a gradient with 256 colors and I want to shift the gradient colors by 2 steps. Then all colors move 2 steps to the right (or left) and colors 255 / 256 become colors 1 and 2.

Rainbow Let us say with petals
Posted by: Gimphried - 10-21-2021, 09:15 PM - Forum: Scripting questions - Replies (2)

1. Let us say with petals

Make Flower has been written in Script-Fu by Daniel Bates in 2007.
You can download the free open source Flower_Generator_Script_by_Insanity_Prevails.scm
in the SamRocketMan's github reposity.

Open the .scm script in the free editor Notepad++.

script-fu-register in line 316 has strange NUL characters.
Into the bargain, nowadays, the registration is in two steps. We need to indicate the Gimp menu to call this script in an additional call:

Code:
(script-fu-menu-register "script-fu-make-flower" "<Image>/Filters/Render/Make Flower/")
However don't do it! We do not need to overload the Gimp Graphic User Interface (GUI) with additional menus that are not used daily.

Arrow We can call directly make-flower in the Script-Fu console of Gimp 2.10.28 without any registration.

1. In Notepad++, click in the beginning of the line 12 before the opening parenthesis without selecting anything.
2. Press the Notepad++ shortcut Ctrl+Alt+B.
Notepad++ automatically selects the entire function make-flower from line 12 to line 312.
This means that of course the parenthesis are well balanced.

3. Press Ctrl+C in Windows to copy the function in the clipboard.
4. Run Gimp.
5. Gimp menu Filters > Script-Fu > Console
;-> "Welcome to TinyScheme" appears in the top of the Script-Fu console.

6. Paste the content of the clipboard in the input area of the Script-Fu console above the Help button.
Press ENTER
;-> Script-Fu replies by the name of the function:
make-flower
This means that there is not any errors of syntax!

7. Copy in the clipboard by Ctrl+C the following call of the function with all parameters:
Code:
(make-flower       500  2         2        30        1        5        '(230 120 210)  '(170 50 150)    '(170 170  50))
Press ENTER to run the TinyScheme function.
;->  Cry
Oops:
Code:
Error: Bad syntax of binding spec in let* : ((theImage) (theActive) (base-layer) (flower-layer) (petal-layer) (petal2-layer) (petal3-layer) (petal4-layer) (petal5-layer) (petal6-layer) (shade-layer) (map-layer) (varX1) (varY1) (varX2)) 

8. In Notepad++, select the Let*'s local variables from line 26 to 46:
Code:
    (theImage)
    (theActive)
    (base-layer)
    (flower-layer)
    (petal-layer)
    (petal2-layer)
    (petal3-layer)
    (petal4-layer)
    (petal5-layer)
    (petal6-layer)
    (shade-layer)
    (map-layer)

    (varX1)
    (varY1)
    (varX2)
The initial value is missing for each local variable. Fortunately, they are all integers.

10. To fix the issue, Notepad++ menu Search > Replace...
11. In the dlgbox "Replace", 2nd tab "Replace", 
Find what: ")"
Enter the closing parenthesis without the double quotes.

Replace with: " 0)"
Enter a space separator before the initial value, then the initial value 0 and the closing parenthesis.
Do not enter the double quotes.

Check the option [x] in selection
Press the Replace All button
The expected result must be:
Code:
    (theImage 0)
    (theActive 0)
    (base-layer 0)
    (flower-layer 0)
    (petal-layer 0)
    (petal2-layer 0)
    (petal3-layer 0)
    (petal4-layer 0)
    (petal5-layer 0)
    (petal6-layer 0)
    (shade-layer 0)
    (map-layer 0)

    (varX1 0)
    (varY1 0)
    (varX2 0)
12. Repeat steps 1-7
;-> The script draws the pink flower with 8 petals on 500x500 pixels.
