  Panorama with gimp
Posted by: denzjos - 07-25-2021, 09:49 AM - Forum: Tutorials and tips - Replies (4)

Panorama software, lots of it are available. But can it be done with gimp? Yes there are some plugins, but let's try it with gimp in combination with Ottia Tuota tools. In this example 2 photos made handhold are used. The photos should overlap a lot like the ones here. Place them in a canvas that is big enough to place the two photos side by side. Make two paths (4 points) referring to the same information on both photos. 
   
Use the Filters / Distorts / Perspective transform / Perspective transform - 4 points to 4 points plugin from Ottia Tuota. Et voilà, the photos are nicely stitched.
     
Now use the gimp Colours / Exposure tool to match the color exposure and use the erase tool with a soft brush to blend the two layers. Flatten the image and use the 3D transform tool and the crop tool to adjust the result.

  How to Move an Item without Moving the Whole Layer
Posted by: bozo - 07-25-2021, 01:07 AM - Forum: General questions - Replies (4)

I come across this issue frequently but am too freaking stupid to work out how to word the question.
I want to move a single element on the canvas.
I duplicate the layer so I can move around a second rectangle:


Then I attempt to reposition the second layer that contains the second rectangle...

But when I do that the ENTIRE layer (element + background) is moved.

Please dispel this simple yet chronic blindspot of mine.
And thank you.

  Removing flash/lights and glare spots
Posted by: richiie - 07-24-2021, 03:54 PM - Forum: General questions - Replies (5)

Hey gimp fam!

I was able to take some bike pics with a good friend of mine however the flash on my camera and the streetlights in the background left some glare spots and distracting points. 

Anyone know how to remove them in gimp and what tool to use?

Thanks Smile

  python-fu: Exiting properly in batche mod with Gimp 2.99
Posted by: mrbookman - 07-23-2021, 08:47 PM - Forum: Scripting questions - Replies (3)

Greetings.

I should first mention that this problem has to do with the new API.
Due to certain constraints, I have to use python 3, and so I've been using Gimp 2.99.

https://www.gimp-forum.net/Thread-What-i...-batch-job

I've tried to adapt the method shown in the thread above for python3, adding a Gimp.quit() at the end of the do_it function.

This is the command I'm using.

Code:
gimp-console-2.99  -idf --batch-interpreter python-fu-eval -b "import sys;sys.path=['.']+sys.path;import backrem;backrem.do_it()"

This is the message I get.


Code:
plug-in 'python-eval.py' aborted before sending its procedure return values
batch command experienced a calling error:
Procedure 'python-fu-eval' returned no return values

Other information:
  1. If I remove 'Gimp.quit()' from the actual script and add '-b "Gimp.quit()"' to the command, I still get an error.
  2. If I remove it from both the script and the command, the process does not terminate.

(I'm aware that this isn't code, but I couldn't find the appropriate BBCode tags)

  gimp vs imag-r
Posted by: lt72884 - 07-22-2021, 11:07 PM - Forum: General questions - Replies (9)

Hello all. I use the following website for processing images for my ortu laser master 20 watt desktop laser machine.

ImagR - Prepare Photos for Laser Engraving - 5 Steps (imag-r.com)

the one thing i really like about this website is the fact that it has an auto adjust feature.

when you first load the image into the website, it auto converts to greyscale, then you crop it, resize it to the dims you want along with a DPI of 254. Once it has been resized, you can either adjust brightness, contrast, sharpen, etc manually, or hit the auto button. 

does gimp2.10 have a simular feature so i can process my images in gimp for laser engraving? 

I mainly use imag-r because it is super fast and has all the stuff built into it and its FREE!!!

thanks

  Problem with exporting images
Posted by: The New Funnywise - 07-22-2021, 05:02 AM - Forum: General questions - Replies (5)

This problem started to happen when I download the newest update for Gimp 2.10. When I try to export it, their is message pops up that says, "Saving 'C:\Users\keifer\Pictures\grey bricks.xcf' failed: Error creating 'C:\Users\keifer\Pictures\grey bricks.xcf': Error opening file “C:\Users\keifer\Pictures\grey bricks.xcf”: No such file or directory"

  "Could not read the contents of Desktop"
Posted by: dncollins - 07-21-2021, 01:47 AM - Forum: General questions - Replies (5)

That's the error message I get right after clicking on 'File/Export as ...' try to export a file to the desktop.

Small print of error diagnostic:

Error opening directory '/Users/<myuid>/-
Desktop': Operation not permitted.

Interestingly, after clicking on 'OK' in the diagnostic pop up window, it clears and I am able to export the file to the desktop.

So at this time, it's an annoyance.

I tried uninstalling/reinstalling Gimp 10.2.22 rev 3 to no avail.  It is true that I download and install apps to an admin account on my iMac, and then run apps from my non-admin user account.  Old habit that may no longer give any form of security, but other 3rd party apps not seeing this problem (yet).

Couldn't think of a search handle to find others with the problem, but if anyone has seen complaints about this already, please point me in the right direction.  Otherwise I'm open to any ideas about why this is happening.

OS: Big Sur
device: iMac 27"

  Filter values - small changes by key clicks
Posted by: fern99 - 07-20-2021, 11:06 PM - Forum: General questions - Replies (2)

I'm using Gaussian Blur (Filters > Blur on the menu bar).

I'd like to increment the value for Size X (Standard deviation for the horizontal axis) in very small steps while using the Preview/Split View options to monitor the results.

Using the Up/Down arrow keys I can vary the Size X value by a factor of 1, but can't find a key, or key combination, to vary the value by 0.01.

Does anyone know if this can be done?
