Hello,

With help from members here, i have managed to create text over a circular path, using the ofn-text-along-path script from ofnuts. The problem is that the text is outline and, a blue colour. I need the text to be solid and white, as the background is black. I have not managed to find a way to do this, using the script or, otherwise.

Are there any suggestions for what I should be doing to achieve this, no doubt it will be something obvious?

Thank you.

Hi again ...

So ... another stupid question about which I can't find the answer anywhere ... (again loosing my hair .... the few still here ....).

How can I get the position of a layer (or any drawable) in my image ??
I mean, its coordinates (no its "position" like Script-Fu defines it = the position in the tree).


I know how to get its width, its heigth, its name, its position in the stack, its opacity, its merging mode, its parent, its children, its... everything ...but its damn coordinates !

Ok ... I know I've necessary missed something (again... ) ... but if someone has the answer...

Hi everybody :

   I'm using GIMP 2.10.38.   Is it possible to a GRADIENT using more that one color ?

Hi everyone !

It seems to be the most stupid question in the world but I can't find the answer and begin to lose my hair ... 

I just want to get a layer ID by its POSITION ... (its relative position to be exact, but it doesn't matter)

In practice : I want to write a script which use the active layer (ok, so easy --> gimp-image-get-active-layer) AND the layer below ... then ... for it ... what can I do ?
Of course I know the position of my active layer in the tree (gimp-image-get-item-position) .... but I can't find the procedure to get the ID of a layer below (or above, or anything else) ...

((I could use gimp-image-get-layers to obtain the entire list, then write a loop to check each layer, one by one, until matching my active layer, then get the next ...... but ... that is a so heavy and  absurd and annoying solution ... (EDIT : Ok I can also use the position of my active layer to a bit more directly find the layer below in the list ... but I understood that I can't directly get an item in a list, so it would be more or less the same : write a loop which will review one by one each layer until reaching the position "+1"....) ))


There must be a simple and obvious way to do it... but I can't find it...


Thanks in advance to anyone who'll give me the answer !

For individual files, processing by the G'MIC-Qt plugin for GIMP 2.10 with the Smooth [Antialias] filter works fine. When I try to do the same for a group of files using BIMP, I cannot find the corresponding GIMP procedure in the list of transformations. How to batch process the G'MIC-Qt plugin for GIMP 2.10 using BIMP? Or maybe there is another way to perform the desired conversion?

here is a simple photo, post-processed with Gimp to give a pleating effect : it is titles "Curtain Villeggiatura" like a holiday scent

News today here in AU, airlines have stopped flying and media companies are off air due to a Windows workstation issue.

Hello All!

Could someone explain to me if what I'm getting is the way the Wavelet-decompose filter should behave?

01- I downloaded an image - https://wallpapercave.com/wp/wp12859845.jpg ;
02- I added an alpha channel to the image layer;
03- I duplicated the layer;
04- Using the Paths tool I traced an outline on part of the image of this new layer;
05- I did Path to selection, inverted the selection and deleted it;

So far, no news, a common sequence.

Then on the layer with the cutout and transparent background I applied the Wavelet-decompose filter ( Filters-Enhance-Wavelet-decompose), default settings.

The issue is that the filter, instead of applying the effect only to the visible and cropped part of the layer (the rhino head), applied the effect as if the crop had not been made and the background had been extracted. 

I don't know if I managed to explain the situation well, so I recorded a short 48-second video trying to show what is happening.

Next, I created a new image using just the rhino head layer, without the original image layer at the bottom of the layer stack.
I applied the Wavelet-decompose filter and again it resurfaced the original background that I had removed.

Am I just confused or is there something strange about this?

Thx!

Good day all.
 
In my spare time I convert photos or scans of rare technical documents to readable PDF files.  Many of the photographs originate with unknown persons and I receive them third or later hand and the quality is what is politely called poor - see a typical example below where I have roughly edited out fingers at the top.

For some time I have been addressing warped pages photographed by persons unknown by using PerspectiveCropper to basically get all the corners about where they belong and then using ScanTailor to convert the images into clean PDF documents.
 
Because my eyesight is failing I can no longer do this as the handles for both programs are too small for me to see.
 
Today I tried GIMP to do my editing for the first time and the basic GIMP workflow I found to manipulate the images is fantastic. ➤ Filters, Distort, Curve bend.
 
That said I immediately ran into two major problems in that:

1.  I am having to work with what I would call a thumbnail of the image I need to manipulate and with my eyesight that is just not practical - especially as the images tend to be dark with little contrast so I cannot see what is happening.   I could not find a way to make the Curve bend control panel/palette full screen.
 
2.  I did not manage to make the distorted "diamond" shaped page square
 
Obviously my most important question is - How to make the Curve bend control panel/palette full screen?
 
That may well solve problem two but if it does not then how do I drag the outside corners to square up the page?
 
I am using GIMP 2.10.38 on Win7 Enterprise
 
Thank you
