  sg-fit-face.scm with gimp 2.10.24 ?
Posted by: denzjos - 07-17-2021, 08:40 AM - Forum: Extending the GIMP - Replies (5)

Who has a working version of the sg-fit-face.scm script for gimp 2.10.24 ? I download it and put it in the script directory. The script appear in the gimp layer menu but nothing seems to happen if I click on it. I've made a path on each of two different layers as the script needed to work with. Thanks in advance for the answer.

Is it possible to preset the resolution of the picture and then use hot keys to apply them to other pictures or photos?

  Some webp alternatives
Posted by: rich2005 - 07-15-2021, 02:59 PM - Forum: Other graphics software - Replies (1)

The Gimp webp plugin is very adequate. You can export your image and make animations easily although  sometimes a bit slow.  This is about some command line (CL) programs that might come in useful as alternatives.

The webp format does come from Google, their official offerings are here: https://developers.google.com/speed/webp/download
The download provides utilities  cwebp: encoding tool / dwebp: decoding tool / gif2webp: gif conversion tool /  vwebp: webp viewer / webpmux: create and extract anmations   I have to confess that the only one I use regularly is the viewer, vwebp

ImageMagick v.7  (IM) supports webp. There is a page with all the details here: https://imagemagick.org/script/webp.php  Converting an image to webp is as simple as;

Code:
magick filename.ext  -quality 50 filename.webp
What is the advantage over Gimp ? Easy to batch convert with IM

Where it might come in useful is with simple animations, You can string several images together to make an animation with variable timings.
Code:
magick -delay 100  fileA.ext  -delay 200 fileB.ext -delay -delay 50 fileC.ext -quality 50 animated.webp
 

You need to experiment but a low quality settting can provide a smaller filesize than the comparible animated gif, with equal quality and no 256 colour limitations. 

A very simple example:

  Script-fu error on selecting font
Posted by: allanmitch - 07-14-2021, 02:01 PM - Forum: Extending the GIMP - Replies (2)

I am getting error messages from script-fu. 

For example, I opened File-->Create-->Fx-Foundry-->Logos-->Fiery Steel.  When I select the Font box to change the Font I get the following message.


Quote:GIMP Message

Plug-in "script-fu"
(usr/lib/gimp/2.0/plug-ins/script-fu/script-fu)
attempted to install procedure "temp-procedure-
number-1" with invalid parameter name "dialog status".

                                                               OK

The font can not be changed.
Any suggestions on how to correct this problem?
I am using GIMP 2.10.8 on Ubuntu Studio 20.04.  Any other info needed?

  Draw offset to the border of object

I am trying to draw an offset border (red in the figure) around an object shown in the figure. The offset border should have the same profile as the object. I tried selecting object, creating a border, scaling it however, I couldn't manage to get what I want. Would you help please?

  how to know image opened as svg
Posted by: snowforest - 07-14-2021, 10:10 AM - Forum: General questions - Replies (9)

I opened an svg image that I exported with librecad's "export as makercam svg" option and gimp opened the svg with transparent backgroun but an ellipse in my drawing was distorted.
Then I tried librecad's "export as image" option and selected file type as svg. Then I opened that image in gimp. Now the ellipse looks fine but now it opened with a white background as if opening an image, not a transparent background. How can I tell if the second image opened as svg?

Or how can i make the ellipse look regular in the first image?

Hello All
I have just downloaded gimp and did a little exploring. I have close all the windows on the screen. I would like to restore to the original start configuration. I have tried and made things worse.
Thank you
