  Gimp 2.10.14 - text editor changing text size
Posted by: Accessdenied - 10-09-2020, 08:18 AM - Forum: General questions - Replies (6)

Hi!
Created simple business card. Some text boxes, one image. Saved. 
Now opened it and if I click on Text tool and then on text, it changes size. Cannot figure out how to edit text without damaging it's size. In layers it show as A - I guess as text layer. Right click on layer and Edit on canvas gives the same result.

  gimp 2.10.22
Posted by: vpkumar - 10-09-2020, 03:18 AM - Forum: General questions - Replies (3)

I downloaded and ionstalled the latest Gimp 2.10.22 in windows 64.
However now I find all my scripts -Fu and python plug in are greyed out.
How do I restore all these scripts and plugins

I am sorry I found out that this was because I had not opened any imgae in Gimp. Once I opened an image everything was OK.

  Hard edge removal with Brush/Texture
Posted by: jediguitar101@yahoo.com - 10-09-2020, 01:57 AM - Forum: General questions - Replies (2)

If I'm using a brush to erase/remove fragments/particles of an image, how can I get 100% removal of everything the brush touches? I don't want any "grey" transition fading left. I want to use a "splatter" brush to remove particles...completely.

  GIMP 2.10 - Trouble Painting or Cloning On Top of Alpha
Posted by: TMORT - 10-09-2020, 01:14 AM - Forum: General questions - Replies (4)

I have picture I'm working on with several layers. There is an area of alpha, and a border around it on another layer and another layer has an image of some  leaves.  I'd there is a gap of alpha between the colored border and the leaves. I'd like paint or clone over the gap of alpha.

I've tried adding another layer, raising and lowering layers. It is just locked somehow. I've tried pressing the little chekerboard in the layers tool panel for each of them.

I've used GIMP for a number of years, and a number of features and tools, but only do a few now and then.  I never really use it enough to get proficient or retain how do things.

  Copy channel from one image to another image.
Posted by: Krikor - 10-08-2020, 06:35 PM - Forum: General questions - Replies (6)

How can I to copy channel from one image to another image?

I have two images open. In one of them I created channels which I want to use in the second image as well.

How I do:
I select one of the created channels - Channel for selection.
From this selection I create a path - Select - To Path.
In the Paths tab, drag this created path over the thumbnail of the second image.
I open the second image, and now I reverse the operation, select the path and create a channel from that selection.

Is there another, faster and more efficient way to copy channels from one layer to another?

Thank you.

  can't get two blacks to match
Posted by: ottenm - 10-08-2020, 03:50 PM - Forum: General questions - Replies (2)

In this PNG of 5 tally marks, the 5th one (going across) is visibly blacker & shinier than the others.  I'd like it to match the other 4, but I'm struggling to figure out what the difference is. 

Just grabbing pixels with the eye-dropper both sets seem about the same, a mix of solid black and colors that are close to black.  I thought it might be the alpha values, but I tried Layer > Transparency > Threshold Alpha and at 99% there's still a noticeable difference between the pixels that are left.

Any help greatly appreciated.

  No more official mastodon account?
Posted by: ChameleonScales - 10-08-2020, 10:59 AM - Forum: Watercooler - Replies (2)

There used to be an official GIMP account on mastodon but it seems the instance is gone (I think it was mastodon.at or something ending with .at)
Did they decide not to create another account?

  Changing to a solid color
Posted by: RawlinsCross - 10-07-2020, 07:25 PM - Forum: General questions - Replies (2)

Good day everyone,

I have an image of a rain coat that I'd like to fill in with solid color.  You can see (link below) that it's a funky little design, but I'd like to fill it all in with a solid color.  Maybe leave the face alone but if that's too hard, then it can be filled in as well.

This is my real first foray into GIMP.  It obviously is very complicated and any start-up advice would be certainly appreciated.  I figure this one would be good to start off on?

Question Newbie: Python script error
Posted by: mike_b - 10-07-2020, 05:27 PM - Forum: Extending the GIMP - Replies (1)

I am very new to the Python scripting in Gimp. I have used Gimp in the past for manipulating individual images, but now I have to run specific operations on hundreds of images. So I checked into the scripting options. I discarded Script-fu, as I am familiar with programming languages like C, C++, etc., but the Schemes thing is quite different. Python, on the other hand is similar enough.

So, to start out I looked at some sample scripts like this one:

Code:
import glob
source_folder = "c:/mysource_image_folder/" #type your folder inside the quotes - append the final "/"
dest_folder = "c:/destination_folder/"
for filename in glob.glob(source_folder  + "/*.png"):
   img = pdb.gimp_file_load(source_folder + filename, source_folder + filename)
   pdb.gimp_drawable_brightness_contrast(img.layers[0], 0.2, 0)
   pdb.gimp_file_save(img, img.layers[0], dest_folder + filename, dest_folder + filename)
   pdb.gimp_image_delete(img)  # drops the image from gimp memory

When I copy and paste that into the Python window, I get an error right away on the "import glob" line (I also get that error when I just type in "import glob"):

import glob
  File "<input>", line 1
    rt glob
          ^
SyntaxError: invalid syntax

So, obviously I am doing something wrong. Did I not install something right? I installed Python 3.7 (Win10), then reinstalled Gimp 2.10.20. Do I need to do something else?

And apologies if this is the wrong thread. Please point me to the right thread if so.

Thanks.
