python-fu : close xcf/clear memory |
Posted by: ChameleonScales - 09-02-2020, 07:52 AM - Forum: Scripting questions

I made a script that creates xcfs, does a few things and saves them. Problem is, it gradually fills up my memory when I execute it on many files.
The last command of the loop is pdb.gimp_xcf_save. So I wonder if I need to add a command to close the xcf of somehow clear the memory, but I didn't find such a thing.
Any idea?

Corrupted tif file |

Hi,
While I am sure this must be a common problem, I haven't found any post about it.
It is common knowledge that we should flatten the layers of an image before exporting it, e.g. in .tif.
However, in haste we tend to forget, and the resulting file is corrupted. Not only it can't be opened, but I can't delete it either.
I tried everything suggested on the net related to the deletion of corrupted file, including rebooting in safe mode, but can't do.
Am I stuck with these files forever?
Cheers

Conflicting dpi and printing too small |

I've been trying to make something for a while, and ran into some problems that led me needing to take a screenshot of something and then bring the png into GIMP as the starting point for my project. I added some images, then sized and aligned everything to fit the dimensions I need when I print. (The exact dimensions matter as this will be printed on card stock and made into boxes that need to fit in a bigger box.)
I tried printing out test pages, but it came out too small. Part of the problem is that my printer doesn't want to try printing the page size I need (A3), but instead will only print Letter. But this problem led me to looking into dpi, which led me to a different problem.
I click Image > Print Size and see the resolution is 3.78px/mm or 96 dpi.
I click File > Print > Image Settings and see that the resolution is somewhat higher. I try changing the resolution in this dialogue box to see if I can get it to 96 dpi, but it goes to a minimum of 4px/mm or 101.6 dpi, no lower.
My guess is that this disparity between the resolutions is the reason why it's printing too small. Am I right? What can I do about this? How can I get it to print the right size without completely overhauling everything?
Thank you.

Changing aspect ratio |

I have an image with an aspect ratio of 0.62:1 and I want to change it to 0.71:1 and live with the distortion: the image includes text so it can't be cropped.
As a new user, I have spent what seems like hours Googling "changing aspect ratio with Gimp" and trying without success the few answers I found.
Can anyone please walk me through a method or point me to a tutorial? I use Windows 10 and Gimp 2.10.20.

Photo to painting |

I recently saw a video for Photoshop users on how to make photos look like an oil painting. Is it possible to do something like that using GIMP. Or is it better to use Krita ? I know both GIMP and Krita are awesome tools for painting. But I see that some people favour Krita more than GIMP when it comes to painting like projects. My Krita knowledge is very minimal and I have used it like 5 times in my life. And support is pathetic when I tried for Krita. I wonder whether there is a forum like this for asking doubts. Personally, if there is any good video I can rely on I will stick with GIMP and try to convert a couple of pics I have. Any help will be awesome.

Is this meant to work? Layer Mask on Decomposed image |
Posted by: JonLang - 08-31-2020, 05:46 PM - Forum: General questions

New Image.
Right click image, colours > Components > Decompose
RGB > Ok.
Add layermask to each layer (Shift click)
Pencil in white on the layermasks to what is wanted
Right click image, colours > Components > Recompose
The image does not take the layermasks.
This is also the case when right clicking the layer and 'Apply layer mask' the recompose
Thanks

Help! Wrong number of parameters |

I am trying to modify a channel using gimp_drawable_curves_spline. The line I am using is:
pdb.gimp_drawable_curves_spline(image,HISTOGRAM_VALUE,18,0.0,0.0,0.0625,0.125,0.125,0.250,0.250,0.375,0.5,0.5,0.75,0.625,0.875,0.750,0.9375,0.875,1.0,1.0)
It gives me an error of wrong number of parameters. Obviously something silly on my part, but I have checked my decimal points, counted my commas numerous times and still can't see what I am doing wrong!
Any help much appreciated.
david.

Manjaro (Linux) mousewheel zoom possible? |

Hallo,
I'm trying to set the mousewheel to zoom the image. In the window: configure input controller, main mouse wheel I added at the event ScrollUp and ScrollDown the actions: view-zoom-in and view-zoom-out.
Zooming is still not functioning. Also with ScrollUp(Ctrl) and ScrollDown(Ctrl) it doesn't function.
May be it depends on the Manjaro release? (Window Manager Tweaks?)
Can somebody help?
Manjaro XFCE 20.1, GIMP 2.10.20 (from repository)
Many Thanks.
