  Gimp 2.10(.26) .28
Posted by: rich2005 - 09-06-2021, 01:25 PM - Forum: Linux and other Unixen - Replies (8)

Gimp 2.10.26 released, at least the code is there: https://download.gimp.org/mirror/pub/gimp/v2.10/

Using the Gimp 2.10  flatpak, that is already built, do a flatpak update  

Other packages ? It is wait and see. I do not suppose an appimage is coming so probably for 'buntu / Mint users keep an eye on https://launchpad.net/~ubuntuhandbook1/+...buntu/gimp

As far as I can tell from the developers log, it is mainly bug-fixes.

  Need a grid of 100 lines per inch
Posted by: legswilly - 09-06-2021, 09:14 AM - Forum: General questions - Replies (1)

Hi, I need a Ronchi screen of 100 lines per inch. That is vertical lines of alternating black and no colour, the lines of which are 0.0025 inch wide. This would give 100 black lines per inch.
Could someone show how to do this, or even better, make a file that is for an A4 paper filled with the screen and I could get it printed on transparent film. I have a laser printer which I could try.
I would also post the file on a telescope maker, astronomy forum, if that is OK.

Please let there be a person that has pity on me.

  Image structure
Posted by: aka - 09-06-2021, 09:01 AM - Forum: General questions - Replies (3)

Hi,

I am begining with gimp and please need an advice ; take a look to the jointed picture.

My question is : which is the best way to have :

1. the green only in the red shap (NO green out the red shape).
2. the blue only out of the red shape (NO blue in the red shape).

I tried several things, but I think that people with experience can help me a lot !

Thanks,

aka

  Automated batch xcf layer combining and png exporting
Posted by: gimpler - 09-05-2021, 03:36 AM - Forum: Extending the GIMP - Replies (6)

Big favor to ask of you scripting/programming gurus. I have three directories full of Gimp XCF layers and need help automating the combining of them, and exporting the resulting images as PNGs.

I'm agnostic to what language(s) are used, as long it'll run on a mac, specs below.

So the idea is to sequentially loop through the three directories, load one respective XCF layer from each, and export the three-layer combination as a PNG in a 4th directory.  The PNG filename could be a concatenation of the three XCF filenames used for each resultant image.

Directory structure looks like this:

ProjectName
  Layer1Files (top layer)
    A0.xcf
    A1.xcf
    A2.xcf
    A3.xcf
    A4.xcf
  Layer2Files (middle layer)
    B0.xcf
    B1.xcf
    B2.xcf
    B3.xcf
    B4.xcf
  Layer3Files (background layer)
    C0.xcf
    C1.xcf
    C2.xcf
    C3.xcf
    C4.xcf
  CombinedPngs (to be created)
    A0B0C0.png
    A0B0C1.png
    ...
    A0B0C4.png
    A0B1C0.png
    A0B1C1.png
    etc.

And so forth until we get from A0B0C0.png all the way to A4B4C4.png.

Mac is running Catalina 10.15.7
Gimp 2.10.24 per the Mac binary download.
Python 2.7.16 per MacOS default. (Though I understand this version is obsolete.)
Bash 3.2 is accessible (though zsh 5.7.1 is the default).
Scheme I've see mentioned but know nothing about.
Same with Fu.
Happy to upgrade and/or install whatever's needed to get this done.

THANK YOU to anyone willing to help with this!

  Enhance Sharpen Does Not Work!
Posted by: Mee - 09-04-2021, 05:13 PM - Forum: General questions - Replies (1)

Enhance sharpen does not work on a text field on Gimp 2.1.
On Gimp 2.8 you could use the enhance/sharpen in a text field or box??
I have tried this on Fedora and Debian.
On Xubuntu, Gimp 2.8 it works.

  New Layer: Black. Way to add this?
Posted by: Asterra - 09-03-2021, 06:26 AM - Forum: General questions - Replies (11)

I'd say I need to add a new black layer about 75% of the time I'm adding a new layer.  So it always struck me as a little odd that you get presented with several default options, but "black" isn't one of them.

All I'm after here is a way to add "black" as a default option so I don't have to sacrifice either my chosen foreground or background color to get it done.
