  Realistic GIMP Focus Blur Plugin - Once lost, now found!
Posted by: godolphin - 01-02-2021, 01:50 AM - Forum: Extending the GIMP - Replies (15)

I did not create this plug-in, but I went searching for it a few months back for a project but couldn't find it anywhere online. I was combing through my old laptop today and found the zip file from 2014. I uploaded it to Google Drive so other people can try to use it.

What is it? Its the most realistic optical focus blur I've used aside from Snapseed, Google Camera, and PS. Has a lot of bokeh adjustments and looks very convincing if used correctly. Here is the link to the file: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1OabSFgy...sp=sharing

I can't promise it'll work with the newest version of GIMP, so don't ask me for tech support. Enjoy!

  Text Tool Changes Font When I type in a digit
Posted by: tixrus - 01-01-2021, 07:28 PM - Forum: General questions - Replies (2)

I  am using the text tool to make some text.  The text contains some digits.  As soon as I type a digit,
the font changes to some other font.  I thought maybe it's treating the 2 as a command so if I use the text editor it will fix it.
Nope.  I thought OK maybe this font just doesn't have any data for the digits so I'll try another font.  Nope.  Is it too much
to ask that digits I type in the text tool be in the same font that I have chosen?  Using 2.10

Thanks and sorry if this question is too basic but I did google for the answer and didn't find it.

  2.10.22 release - no marching ants?
Posted by: godmoney - 01-01-2021, 12:47 AM - Forum: General questions - Replies (2)

Hi! I just updated to 2.10.22 yesterday (macOS) and began some new projects. I noticed that creating any selection area, with any tool that CAN create a selection area, does not display the marching ants anymore. Anyone out there have a fix for that? I can't seem to find an option for this in preferences.

Also... is one of the macOS bugs for gimp just it running slower than normal?

  arrowhead plugin problem
Posted by: denzjos - 12-31-2020, 01:16 PM - Forum: General questions - Replies (9)

With the decorate / Arrow Heads Ofnuts plugin I've tried to draw arrowheads on both ends of a circle segment. It's a segment from a circle I've cut with the Tools / Cropping and slicing / Slice path by lines. The upper arrowhead is ok but the lower arrowhead is not wel oriented. Any suggestions to solve this problem? Thanks in advance. 
PS : The drawing in attachment is a detail of a bigger drawing, so zoom in to see the problem.

  YouTube Subscibe Button will not upload.
Posted by: Greencedar - 12-31-2020, 07:46 AM - Forum: Older Gimp versions (2.8, 2.6....) - Replies (3)

Using GIMP 2.8 I initially, because I am a beginner and did not understand how to fully use GIMP, I made a simple ‘square’ logo for a Subscribe Button. The ‘square’ logo subscribe button was my first attempt and it uploaded on my YouTube channel properly and it works. I did not use any coloring on the ‘square’ logo, and no ‘button shape.’

After watching, and following, two “How to Create a Subscribe Button,” videos, in order to improve my site, I decided to make a regular ‘Subscribe Button.’ I actually made several, but, no matter how I change it, none of the buttons will upload. I am giving one example of several. So, obviously, I am doing something wrong.

   

New Subscribe Button – Image Properties - Will not upload: 

   

New Subscribe Button - Scale Image Properties:

   


Can anybody tell me where I erred? Any suggestions? Any tutorials, or YouTube videos you can direct me to? Any help, or comments, are appreciated.

  Maintain selection when switching layers?
Posted by: squatcobbler - 12-30-2020, 02:56 AM - Forum: General questions - Replies (7)

You must get asked this all the time but it's really hard (or impossible) to google for the answer. 

Ubuntu 18.04 GIMP 2.10.14

In photoshop if I select something in one layer, say, a box, and then switch to another layer, the selection box is still there, serving to select something on the other layer.

In GIMP which I switch layers, the selection disappears.  Each layer has it's own selections.

Am I clear, or does that not sense?  

How do I select something in one layer and then keep the selection active when I switch to a different layer?

Since you've been asked this a million times, feel free to point me to a thread that answers this.  (Again this is hard to search for.)

Hi,

Is there any method of stopping gimp from
prefixing every message I send to the error console with...

!  scriptName Warning

...it's getting me down. Sad

  python scripting: image update and calling strategies
Posted by: Superkraft - 12-29-2020, 12:40 PM - Forum: Scripting questions - Replies (1)

I am trying to develop my first python script and i am stumbling into some questions,
i am quite stuck ....
and i am wondering whether i am searching for something which is not possible:


a) As a starting point i was trying to recreate the  Brightness-Contrast menu using the: pdb.gimp_drawable_brightness_contrast() function.

I managed to setup the UI for brightness and contrast, but:
I would like to be able to recreate the functionality of the original menu,
especially including the realtime update in my image,
which the original gimp menu is capable off, but how? is it even possible?

b) I would like to be able to create several python scripts which are able to call each other,
but i could not find a error-free way to call another python script.
For example: the first file  "contrast_filter.py" which calls after execution the second file   "levels_filter.py"


Any suggestions would be very appreciated - Thanks Wink


i will attach the python file here zipped.
