Hello,

I am using Python 3 to edit some images successfully using PIL, but there are things that I'm unable to do with it and was hoping to call gimp from python for those specific tasks.

What I'm currently manually doing in GIMP and need to automate is:
1. Open Image
2. Select by color
3. Shrink selection
4. Select > To path
5. Export path.. [as svg] (accessing the svg information without saving the file would also work)

From what little I could see in the python console inside GIMP the following procedures can be scripted that seem to match the above requirements, though I wouldn't know how to do so yet:
1. file-png-load
2. gimp-image-select-color
3. gimp-selection-shrink
4. plug-in-sel2path
5. Can't find any.


What would be the best way to automate this process from the command line?

Thank you,
Nick

Hello  
After I conclude making the box,  is there a way to move all the squares I want before it starts changing ?
When I move one square at a time,  it takes a long time to change..... when you wait for each  -  one at a time.  If I move 6 squares,  that is a long time.

Hello folks,

I have been using GIMP on and off mainly for photo editing. My next task is to explore creating designs using mainly shapes such as directional arrows similar to below image.

Having experimented with pasting into a blank canvas, the options available seems fairly limited "the selection has no editable parameters" is often encountered, really what I would like to know is this a good tool to use or would I be better learning say a vector based program and go from there?

Thank you

Hi everyone, i'm new forum user.
I've been using gimp for a year and everithings running ok until yesterday night when a input output error was appeared.


Translate:
impossible to read the content c:\pagefile.sys

in addition to this problem nick collection free tools has stopped working.

Can someone help me??

Something I have always been curious about is why selection tools can reach out into the padding past the canvas. The adjustment handles land past the canvas edges and I can't think of a reason why that would be useful. I'm sure someone has an answer though.

I believe an option to Constrain to Canvas Edges would be useful. Then you could over-select with a tool and grab the adjustment handles right where you want to make the adjustment. It's a small thing but seems much more intuitive to me. 

Anyone else ever thought this too?

   

I'm a total gimp-newbie and this is probably an easy thing to do but I'm failing. I have three layers. 

Layer 1. An image
Layer 2. A color(I chose foreground) which I have made a bit transparent.
Layer 3. A shape that does not totally cover layer two.

This shape I filled with a color with Bucket-Fill-Tool. That was no problem. But I want to fill the area outside the shape instead. I tried to do
Layer -> Transparency -> Subtract From Selection
but it didn't work. Any help is appreciated.

This is the successor of interleave-layers:

• Support for the Gimp 2.10 layer modes (but should still work in Gimp 2.8)
  
• Better handling of the layer names
