Question Soft Proofing not working on Latest Gimp
Posted by: JayDee - 03-28-2020, 08:29 PM - Forum: General questions - Replies (2)

I have tried to use a .icm  ICC soft-proofing file from One Vision to use their printers for my photos.
However it does not work (no change to the displayed image) when I set up using the Preferences dialogue
or the dialog in the View-Colour Management menu (Proof colours and Soft_Proofing profile set ok).

I know the ICC file works ok because I use it to change the the Assign Colour Profile menu to change from the built in Gimp sRGB profile. I could soft-proof like this however it is a bit clumsy.

Is this a bug or am I missing something ……. ?

  GIMP V2.10.18
Posted by: BRIANH - 03-28-2020, 06:17 PM - Forum: General questions - Replies (5)

I'm a new user and am still learning how to navigate the various options etc.  I have noticed that when I am adding text the default is Sans Serif  62 px. This is
huge and forces me to adjust the text size every time I use GIMP and edit / add text.  Could someone please let me know how I can change the default font and size.

thanks Brian

  New plugin: Lissajous
Posted by: Ottia Tuota - 03-28-2020, 04:11 PM - Forum: Extending the GIMP - No Replies

New plugin to draw Lissajous curves (as approximate Bezier curves with sparse control point sets). Should work well if you do not push it too hard.

To get the plugin, go to

http://kmarkku.arkku.net/

follow the link 'Applications', and click the correct Download button there. That gives you a .zip file. Unzip it, put the .py file into your Gimp's plug-ins folder, and restart Gimp. The plugin 'Lissajous' will be in

Filters/Render/Parametric curves/Special cases

If there are any problems, please tell me.

This is probably the last plugin from me in this series for some time. I have no new ideas about curves to implement, and I am going now to another long project. But if you have some good suggestions, I'd love to here them.

Anyhow, these plugins should show that my general plugin Parametric curves can be useful, though admittedly it is difficult. It does have its own quirks, and I made small improvements in the code when developing Lissajous and the others. Perhaps I shall make an update when I have some spare time.

Edit: Corrected the path

  Before I write one...
Posted by: ZPaul2Fresh8 - 03-28-2020, 03:31 PM - Forum: Extending the GIMP - Replies (1)

Just curious if there were any plugins out there that offered bit depths in the ranges of 2-7 bits per pixel? I'm looking to export an 8bpp indexed bitmap to lower levels. Obviously this isn't used nowadays, but it's for an old game project. Smile

Thanks in advance.

  Group selected layers?
Posted by: carmen - 03-27-2020, 04:25 PM - Forum: Extending the GIMP - Replies (2)

Quick question:
Is there a way to put selected (linked) layers into a new group, or move them into an existing one?
I seem to remember some plug-in like that working in 2.8 and getting disabled in 2.10...
If there isn't anything avaible, I dare say it wouldn't above my beginner level to provide one--but I shy from re-inventing the wheel...

  Why does GIMP STILL use that terrible file explorer?
Posted by: 523rsfsdfsf - 03-27-2020, 02:08 AM - Forum: General questions - Replies (2)

You know... The one where you have to manually go through all the folders just to get to the one you want? Instead of just copy/pasting the file path as I can with Windows Explorer?

Just why?

  Editing text in a photo
Posted by: BRIANH - 03-26-2020, 09:29 PM - Forum: General questions - Replies (1)

I have a DELL pc and my O/S is Windows 10 Pro / Ver 1903
.
I am using PAINT 3D to try and move just the text in a photo.  When I create a text box around the text and drag it, it moves the text and the background as well which leaves a white box where it used to be... I haven't been able to find a way around this... Any tips / advice would be appreciated...I received a suggestion that perhaps I should use GIMP.  I have no knowledge of this app and I guess my major Q is:  will it allow me to open an existing photo and edit / add / delete text?  If this cannot be done then I really have no immediate use of this app..
As far as I can determine the version  I'll be downloading is 2.10.18.
     thanks

  Python 2 support
Posted by: akovia - 03-26-2020, 02:30 PM - Forum: General questions - Replies (10)

When I recently updated to 2.10.18-4, Heal Selection stopped working. I'm sure quite a few other plugins were broken as well, but I stopped and rolled back to 2.10.18-2 as I was in the middle of a project.

Today I was trying to see if anyone else had problems after this recent update and couldn't find anything. After installing it again, I realized I had missed a message during installation.

Code:
(1/3) upgrading gimp                                                                                                                                                                                          
 > The python2 plugin support is disabled, you will need to install this
 > separately if you need it, e.g. the python2-gimp package in the AUR.

Of course I then tried to install this package.

Code:
$ yay python2-gimp
1 aur/python2-gimp 2.10.18-1 (+2 1.76%) (Orphaned)

It appears to be orphaned and indeed the download failed. I figured out that download.gimp.org was offline and used a mirror instead. After building and installing this package, everything is back up and working.

So my question is if anyone else is having these issues, or is this just an Arch Linux issue right now? 

Is there a discussion somewhere on the future of python2 dependencies and converting old plugins to python3?

  Editing in 16-32 bit mode and JPG
Posted by: maboleth - 03-26-2020, 01:05 PM - Forum: General questions - Replies (2)

How does GIMP treat the files that are in 16bit or 32bit mode when saving them directly to JPG?

Since JPG is 8bit only, does GIMP automatically convert to 8bit or do I have to do it myself?

  Help.Wanted('Pixel region gimpPy')
Posted by: FloppaDisk - 03-26-2020, 08:18 AM - Forum: Scripting questions - Replies (10)

Hi. Having a rough time understanding have to manipulate individual pixel's trough gimp python.
So far i have found this constructor drawable.get_pixel_rgn(x, y, w, h, [dirty, [shadow]) an been able to set a variable to it and call member from sayd variable but that about it.
Found a Gnome site with descriptive information.
Did try to install numpy into gimp with no luck. But don't think i need that module for now.
What my end goal comprise of is to be able to edit individual pixel RGB values along side it's alpha/opacity.
A little information on have to set rgb if that is with a 3-tuple or an hue int, with how/were opacity is set would be nice also Smile
