  Python-fu: add more user input dialogs?
Posted by: ChameleonScales - 02-09-2021, 08:40 PM - Forum: Scripting questions - Replies (5)

Apart from the dialog that you define in register() and the gimp.message command (which doesn't allow for any user input), I don't know if Gimp's api provides a way to pop a dialog to, say, ask for confirmation about something or provide other sliders, spinners, etc based on what you selected in the main plug'in's dialog.
Do we have to revert to other python libraries like zenity or GTK?

  tinkersynth : playing with lines
Posted by: denzjos - 02-09-2021, 10:06 AM - Forum: Other graphics software - No Replies

Playing with lines and save them as svg files and load it in gimp, that's what possible with a weird program tinkersynth. A hint : new possibilities if you unscrew the plate on the left upper side...

  What does a layer's "tattoo" mean?
Posted by: ChameleonScales - 02-08-2021, 01:01 PM - Forum: Extending the GIMP - Replies (4)

in the python-fu api, there is this "get-layer-by-tattoo" command.
I found no information on the internet about what that "tattoo" is.
Could anyone clarify?

PS: forgot to add this thread inside the "Scripting questions" subcategory. In don't know if I can move it there myself.

  EsherSketch to make backgrounds
Posted by: denzjos - 02-08-2021, 12:56 PM - Forum: Other graphics software - No Replies

To make backgrounds one can use 'EscherSketch' to make paths and save them as . svg file to use it in gimp.
https://eschersket.ch
Do not make an complex design because the number of paths become very high. All one have to do after load the paths in gimp is make all the paths visible and then merge all the visible paths into one path. In gimp, one can use the cropping and slicing a path plugin made by Ottia Tuota to extract the part you need. Use this link for information about this plugin. 
https://www.gimp-forum.net/Thread-Croppi...ing-a-path
One can then stroke the path. I used a transparent layer to stroke the path on. Then I've made a copy from the stroked layer and blurred the first layer. A black background made the design complete. The stroked drawing here included is a cropped image.

  Alpha channel use in gimp (paint on it)
Posted by: majorfatal - 02-08-2021, 10:47 AM - Forum: General questions - Replies (4)

Hello,
I'm beginner to the gimp and come from photoshop.

I'll would like to know how change the color of the alpha channel.

I"ll would like to paste a color into or paint on it.

How I'll could do it?

In photoshop it was simple I'll make an image in grey >ctrl C >ctrl v in alpha channel.

Ill would like to do the same but it seems impossible to edit the alpha!

I'll work mainly in video game and need to use Alpha channel.

In fact I'll don't care there is an alpha on alpha channel I'll just want to copy a grey image on it.

Thanks by advance for your help.

  How to "bald" a guy
Posted by: kenny1999 - 02-08-2021, 09:12 AM - Forum: General questions - Replies (6)

I am making fun with a best friend of mine

I have his picture. He isn't bald in the picture, but I want to make him bald, however, what is the general
step I need to do to make the pictures look, at least, not too bad?

First, I know I should select to remove his hair, but how to make the deleted area look similar to the background?

Second, how can I make his forehead a bit shiny? In the picture there isn't any shiny

  Multithread python plug-in?
Posted by: ChameleonScales - 02-07-2021, 06:46 PM - Forum: Scripting questions - Replies (4)

My plugin performs a bunch of operations on dozens of large images which takes several minutes and only uses a single thread.

I'm wondering if there's a way to write code in the plug-in to allow for multithreading, e.g. by telling Gimp to open more instances of itself or any other way.

Is that possible?

  Why do I have a white background when I cut a layer ?
Posted by: FlameAndCo - 02-06-2021, 11:06 PM - Forum: General questions - Replies (1)

Hi, today I used gimp for the first time in a while, and for some reason when I try to cut a part of a layer, instead of just making the part disappearing like it used to, it turns the part white.
Left is what I want to do, and what I was used to, right is what I'm getting.
[Image: pJZB0AP.jpg]
Anyone knows why it does that and how to fix it ?
