Hello,

I have 1500 png to process so I'm searching a script/plugin to do this.

Given a png, I would like the script to do the following:
- do a magic selection (wand/fuzzy) with starting point coordinattes 1,1 (I know this pixel is the background color)
- remove this selection and have transparency instead

I tried this script in a plugin via BIMP:

I have installed V2.99.4 flatpak and can run this or V2.10.24 as I wish but not quite in the way suggested where you have to use a flatpak command to select the version that is to be run (beta or stable). If I use the command to select the beta version the Menu/Graphics/GNU Image Manipulation Entry always starts V2.10.24. To start V2.99.4 I have a bash script. I'm not sure that this is relevant to the issue noted below.

When I start V2.99.4 in a terminal window I see the following error message:

Gtk-Message: 17:32:23.772: Failed to load module "xapp-gtk3-module"

So far as I can tell I have this module installed (file usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/gtk-3.0/modules/libxapp-gtk3-module.so exists)

I have also taken the text for the Python Goat exercise and renamed all occurrences of 'goat' to 'goatee' and placed the file in a subfolder of the user plug-ins folder but it doesn't appear in the GIMP menus. Initially I made the mistake of placing it directly in the plug-ins folder and received a warning from GIMP - so it is looking in the user plug-ins folder.

The latest version of the python goat exercise script, as downloaded from the gitlab site, contains statements that it relies on Gimp 3.0 and GimpUi 3.0 - I have tried changing these to 2.99 since that is the beta version - this had no effect.

Has anybody else had more success in this respect?

I thought I would go through the scripts that I have written and those that I have downloaded from elsewhere and update them for GIMP 3 if I could (starting off by running them in V2.10.24 with the --pdb-compat-mode=warn option to report deprecated scripts). I have successfully updated all the .scm files - some run without a problem but many fail with the (known) error message about GimpObjectArray being an unknown return type - I think I just have to retest these when V2.99.6 becomes available. However, as noted above I have hit a problem with the .py files.

I can't find any solution on the Internet.  Everything used to work a few weeks ago, now half of the tools won't work.  

Works:  
- move
- select tools
- crop
- scale tools
- paint bucket tools
- text tool
- colors

WON'T WORK:
- pencil, paintbrush, etc
- eraser
- clone
- smudge

I've followed all the recommendations I could find.  It's in RGB mode.

I'm stumped

Hello! 

I was wondering if there was a way to increase the brush image previews? I've uploaded a picture of the problem here :
https://ibb.co/Tw3hyQr

Thank you for your time!

Periodically, I open GIMP and it looks like the toolbox is missing. But on closer look, a little sliver of it is sticking up above ... is it 'tool options'? The top row is actually usable if I can remember which icon is which.

I know I can get it back following Edit > Preferences > Interface> Window Management > Reset Saved Window Positions to Default Values, and then exiting and restarting GIMP (and moving and resizing the window back), but every couple of days it's becoming tedious/frustrating.

Any ideas?

   

Is it possible to shrink a selection to, for example, 1px width without the selection disappearing in the thinner areas?

Let me give you an example. In the image below, I have selected the "walls" at the edges of this map, shrunk that selection slightly and converted it to a path (in green). The problem is that when I convert it to a path, what I'd like is to instead have a single line through the middle of those walls, instead of two bordering the selection. But if I shrink it too much, some parts of the selection will completely disappear and I think that even if I managed that, the selection to path tool would create two lines anyway bordering the selection.

Perhaps a better question would be, can I create a path from a selection by filling in that selection instead of using the borders for the path?


Thank you!

Hello fellow Gimp users

I'm wondering if anyone can help me by recommending a drawing tablet for Gimp?  I'm using Windows 10 and the latest version of Gimp.  Does anyone use the Kamvas 13?  I've seen mixed reviews online with some saying it doesn't work with Gimp.

Thank you for any recommendations 

I was wondering if there was a plugin for Gimp similar to the Notes of Paint plugin for Photoshop by denis154. Or something on that end? Anyone know?

I was trying to quickly change the attached image file so that the whole background of this woman's head was fairly consistently light coloured.

I am trying to make the left hand side of the background (mostly dark brown and black) on the .xcf image of a woman in the attached file, stella_19apr.xcf [1] look roughly similar to the right hand side of the background (mostly pale pink/brown). To do this, I

1. Used the color picker to select a a pale brown/pink colour on the right-hand side, then

2. Tried to bucket fill some of the regions on the left-hand side.

But the bucket kept filling these areas with very dark brown or black and not the pale pink/brown I thought I had selected.

Could anyone tell me how I could fix this or begin to diagnose this problem?

(I can also see that in that image, I had used the eraser in an attempt to define a clear boundary between her hair and the background. This was how I was trying to prevent the bucket-filled pale brown/pink colour from flowing into the hair, but that is beside the point, here.)

Thank you for your attention.

i'm indexing an illustration with a 72 color palette.
The palette has a lot of colors covering well the color spectrum of the input illustration.
So I would expect to see all colors well associated after indexing.
Instead some of them turn very much despite the palette was equipped with colors very close to them.
An important example is light blue in attached files
How to solve?
