  Guide to Ofnuts Tools
Posted by: carmen - 12-10-2020, 10:30 PM - Forum: Extending the GIMP - Replies (1)

Well, as threatened, it's out: download here https://drive.google.com/file/d/14Be0yAQ...sp=sharing

  1. As always, feedback welcome (keeping in mind that I am only responsible for collating Ofnuts documentation into e-book format--epub)
  2. For those unfamiliar with epubs, basic tips on epub usage on your computer can be found here https://www.gimp-forum.net/Thread-A-Guid...nuts-Paths
  3. Another tip:
  • create a directory (folder) 'Guides'
  • put there your downloaded guides, cheat-sheets and other helping documents, or links to them
  • add the folder to your taskbar as 'new taskbar'
   
  • remember that epubs are fully text-searcheable, besides coming with a nice Table of Contents
Enjoy!

1. I don't have all tools on the tool bar (not sure but it's like only 1/3)
2.How to import more than 2+ images? (in 2+ sepereted windows)  For example when I wanna take a colour from 1 picture and use on other or to resize it and put later on the 2nd layer.

3.Last but not least.Soo annoying is when I want to move 1 picture the some other layer is moving.How to lock or whatever the layer.

Question Layer Group - add or remove multiple layers
Posted by: Krikor - 12-08-2020, 02:02 PM - Forum: General questions - Replies (8)

Hello all,

Are there any ways to manage adding or removing multiple layers in a Layer Group?

Something like moving linked layers, or visible layers or whatever?

There is the Multiple Layer Actions script, but it does not perform this task.

I always have to do this one by one.

Thanks!

  Export with hidden alpha channel
Posted by: PancakeIdentity - 12-08-2020, 01:04 AM - Forum: General questions - Replies (1)

Hi all, I have a question about alpha channels. When I click the eye icon next to the alpha channel of a layer to hide it, then export it to PNG, the exported image still has the alpha channel. However, removing the alpha channel entirely produces a different, unwanted result, turning the image blue-ish. This blueness is kept when exported.

Is there any way I can export my image to a PNG so that it looks like it does in GIMP with a hidden alpha channel?

Thanks!

  Automate export jpg to png
Posted by: Noteworthy - 12-07-2020, 09:05 PM - Forum: General questions - Replies (3)

I have a significant number of jpegs that require editing.

I prefer to save my edits as png doing the following:
(1) Shift+Ctrl+E
(2) Alt+T for Select File Type (By Extension)
(3) mouse click on "By Extension"
(4) Type "png" press Enter
(5) Alt+E for Export
(6) Alt+E for Export
As you can see, I use keyboard shortcuts and do so rapidly. However, for such a large volume of jpegs, this becomes time-consuming and laborious.

Is there any way to automate this process? Grateful to hear if there is a way to do so.

Many thanks

Can anyone tell me how to remove the dark splotches in the background of this image. Some of these dark splotches are up against the hair of the monkey. Is there a way to mask the monkey using Edge Detect, and if so what are the steps?

Photo How can I separate an into groups?
Posted by: pixaeiro - 12-07-2020, 01:26 PM - Forum: General questions - Replies (7)

Hello,

Is there any GIMP tool or plugin that can be used to separate an image into groups with the same color?

This is what I'd like to achieve:

[Image: w8SUX5F.png]

I created the layers using the fuzzy selection tool and pasting the selection as a new layer. I'd like to do something like this but with one click... like when using Filter > Enhance > Wavelet-Decompose or Colors > Components > Decompose.

Thank you!

  Can't export raw data without alpha channel if image contains more than 1 layer
Posted by: tomil - 12-07-2020, 08:38 AM - Forum: General questions - No Replies

Hello,

Why is it that raw data export always contains alpha channel if the image has more than one layer?

I have image in RGB mode with multiple layers and would like to export each layer as individual raw data file containing only RGB data (i.e. 3 bytes per pixel).
But I cannot get the file exported without alpha channel being saved as well (4 bytes/pixel). I have made sure alpha does not exist in any of the layers (selecting "Remove Alpha Channel" on all layers). If I delete all but the layer I want to export, it is exported without alpha like I want.

I am working around this now by copying and pasting each layer to a new image, removing the alpha channel from that, and exporting the new image to raw file.
Even that would be quick to do if all steps had key shortcuts, but the alpha channel removal must be done with mouse still which slows down the process (select layer, Ctrl-A, Ctrl-C, Shift-Ctrl-V, remove alpha with mouse, and finally Ctrl-E).

Is there some setting somewhere that says multi layer images always contain alpha channel, even if individual layers do not?

Thanks in advance,
Tomi
