I have hundreds of scanned pages from a large 100 year old book that need sized consistently. I'm using Gimp 2.8.10

Currently I select the portion of the page left to right that has text and the very edge of the page top and bottom.

I then select grow by 250 pixels

then crop to selection

then canvas size 2000 px by 3300 px, CENTERED

then mode grayscale

then levels 50, .5, 200

the result is exactly what I need

I don't know anything about writing scripts. Can this all be done with a single click after the selection is made? If so, how?

Thanks Sandy

When I try on the one with the title (the first) it says "cannot subtract from an empty selection"
On the one without (second) when I first open the file it says "Execution error for procedure 'gimp-image-set-color-profile': ICC profile validation failed: Color profile is not for grayscale color space" whatever that means. When I press ok then try to fuzzy select, it says the same thing as the other file. Why does it do this?
Ok doesn't seem to let me upload 2 files at once...I'll just upload the 1st then.

For people that work on photos wit gimp, something I did know about (the videos are for PS but it work also in gimp) :

Firstly, I am a total novice with sort of stuff so be kind....

What  I need help with is as follows

I construct card buildings which are printed on to paper before being fixed to card and cut out. Each sheet has certain parts of the building, walls, roofs, doors etc
What I need help with is I want to just change the colours of the doors for example which are a blue colour. A friend has done this by getting the page on screen selecting the area to change, by just clicking on the door colour, and selecting a new colour, so nothing changes except the area chosen
This all seems easy but not to me!!

Help needed and if possible in simple terms

Thanks Steve

Hi,
I did a close up video of a geografic map and exported all single frames. Now i have over 11000 Jpeg files.
I need to make one big picture.i need to be able to get this 11000 jpeg arranged in a grid and have the possibility to move the single jpeg in the grid so they allign precisly.
Any help is much appreciated.
I obviously hope there is a way this wont take me a life time to finish
PS. I imported al 11k files as layer and total file size was 36gb...my pc cant handle that much....maybe 12gb is doable

Hey,
I have a script that takes all the files in a folder, crops them, and exports them. However, it tries to take things in that folder that aren't images (text files, pesky invisible metadata files) and tries to edit them, which throws an error. How do I fix that?

Using 2.10.12 under Ubuntu.
In 2.8, one placed pictures in home/.gimp-2.8/splashes.  I tried renaming the folder as .gimp-2.10 but GIMP did not use the images.
If I could get the offline Help to open, I might be able to find how to change the splash screen, but it keeps trying to load something off the Internet which is not allowed by the AppArmor settings.  The help files are there, somewhere.  I saw them once, down about eight levels of folders, and they were all XML.  I don't have an XML viewer.
Is there a way to get GIMP to find and use them?
If not, is there a PDF of the 2.10.12 offline help?
If not, how do I get GIMP to use different splash screens?

If one try to take a clean photo from old buidings, people or cars appear in front of the lens. The solution is to take a few pictures with the same viewpoint (tripod) with an interval of a few seconds. Then load the photos in gimp as layers, make a mask on each layer and wipe the unwanted out. A few years ago I dit it with PS but it is the same with gimp.

   
   

Hi. I've seen something on Instagram I want to create in GIMP. It's a gig photo. It's one image of a person fading in slowly then out again. Can this be done in GIMP? If so, how? I do use GIMP and have done for a while and have created GIFs before. Thank you

64-bit Windows 10 fully updated as of today, including latest nVidia drivers for the GTX970 direct from nVidia.
Fresh (1st time ever for this PC) install of Gimp 2.10.14 using setup-2 (downloaded from here: https://download.gimp.org/mirror/pub/gim...etup-2.exe)

Installed for "All Users" so C:\Program Files
Took all the install defaults
Install completes without error

Try to run Gimp - nothing happens.  No error.  Nothing.
Launch the command line as admin and try to run gimp-console - I get this:
Exception code=0xc0000005 flags=0x0 at 0x00007FFD5A5072A6. Access violation - attempting to write data at address 0x00000E3800001FA0

I purged Gimp and tried it with a minimal install (Gimp, runtime, engine for GTK+, and debug symbols only).  No difference.
Tried installing to E:\ - no difference.

Was getting ready to drop back to a previous version/installer, but thought I'd post and see if anyone knows what's up.
