  Trouble importing third party Python packages to GIMP 2.10 so that they can be used t
Posted by: Psyntax - 12-02-2019, 04:25 AM - Forum: Extending the GIMP - Replies (1)

My goal is to import a couple third party Python packages for use with my GIMP installation. This will allow me to use these packages when developing a GIMP plugin. I noticed a few directories that may be of use. They are as follows:

C:\Program Files\GIMP 2\32\lib\python2.7

This directory contains a site-packages folder which contains packages such as requests and pip.

C:\Program Files\GIMP 2\32\bin

This directory contains a python.exe. When I run python --version in an elevated cmd at this directory path, the output is Python 2.7.16, which I assume is GIMP 2.10's version of Python. This is important because I have my own installation of Python 3.8.0 in my Program Files. If I'm anywhere outside of this path in the cmd, the version that outputs is 3.8.0.

I have added these directories to my PATH system variable and tried running pip install but the output tells me I have already installed the requested third party packages. The problem is that they are installed to my Python 3.8.0 installation. I'm trying to run pip install in the context of GIMP's Python environment.

Any advice would be much appreciated.

  How to merge channels?
Posted by: marigolden - 12-02-2019, 02:22 AM - Forum: General questions - Replies (1)

I'm doing a quick mask and kept "saving to channel" to make sure I wasn't losing anything, so I have 3 different channels now titled Quick Mask, Selection Mask copy, and Selection Mask copy #1. i imagine this must work like the layers where everytime you save a new channel it starts saving only on that one because it becomes the new selection, meaning the older channels don't have the new work on them (assuming you don't go out of your way to click back to older channels)? Although I'm testing out the channel visibilty and the only one that seems to have all the work on them is that original channel titled Quick Mask. The other 2 both look the same with seemingly nothing selected. Not sure why it looks this way. I guess I might as well delete the seemingly blank channels?

I'd still like to know though if there would be a way to merge them all, for future reference

  Getting a white background behind an object
Posted by: RhinoCan - 12-02-2019, 12:33 AM - Forum: General questions - Replies (4)

How  do catalogs frequently manage to get pictures of the items they're selling with a perfect white background that contains nothing to distract the viewer from the product? For instance, if you go to Home Depot, every item has a white background containing absolutely nothing.

I simply don't believe that each and every item was photographed on a perfectly white surface that shows absolutely nothing else, not even texture. There *must* be a technique for removing the actual background that was present when the picture was taken yet preserving the border of the item perfectly. I'm very curious to know what that technique is and if I can do it in GIMP.

Even just knowing the name of the technique would be helpful but a link to instructions or a video detailing the technique would be even better.

Sad Decompose CMY - Error
Posted by: Krikor - 12-01-2019, 09:00 PM - Forum: General questions - Replies (2)

Is this a bug or what should I do to be able to use the Decompose CMY filter?

I can use Extract Component - CMYK (C, M, Y and k).

But when trying Decompose CMY the following error message appears:

   GIMP Error
Crashed Plugin: "decompose.exe"
(C: \ Users \ ... \ Gimp-2.10.14_Portable-32-64bit-Win \ lib \ gimp \ 2.0 \ plug-ins \ decompose \ decompose.exe)

The dying plugin may have messed up GIMP's internal state. You may want to save your images and restart GIMP to be on the safe side.

This happens in both version 2.10.12 and 2.10.14 (Samj's Portable).

Thank you very much in advance.

  When I increase the canvas it only lets me paint on the original area..how to adjust?
Posted by: marigolden - 11-30-2019, 10:54 PM - Forum: General questions - Replies (3)

I feel like the answer must be simple but I can't find it..I increased the canvas and it rendered the original area in a square and anything outside of that it doesn't paint on. How do I make it where it's all considered the same space?

  All tool windows disappeared and won't come back
Posted by: Brian - 11-27-2019, 02:39 AM - Forum: General questions - Replies (4)

I'm using 2.10.12 Portable and after editing a photo, all of the pointers changed into what looked like a small line in each of the 4 corners. This was for at least the pen, pencil, and eraser. I couldn't get it to change back to a normal pointer. I closed and restarted GIMP and now the enter GUI is gone except the file, edit, etc menu, and none will reappear if selected in the window menu. Any idea what happened?

Question Pointer Vs Ruler (X.Y)
Posted by: Krikor - 11-26-2019, 11:39 PM - Forum: General questions - Replies (7)

Hi all,

Why is there a difference between the coordinate values displayed between Pointer and the X, Y of the ruler?
Pointer always displays the last pixels outside the image area.

If the image is 1000 px wide, the pointer displays the location of point x = 1000 equivalent to point x = 1001 of the ruler.

The same goes for the Y coordinates:
If the image is 100x20 Px, Pointer displays points 100 and 20 outside the image area.

Is there any setting I can adjust to make both systems the same; displaying the same values for the same points on the screen?
   
Thankful.

  Will's Script Pack search
Posted by: Zero01 - 11-26-2019, 08:56 PM - Forum: Extending the GIMP - Replies (3)

I looked everywhere on USB drives but couldn't find this script, does anyone have a copy of "Will's Script Pack" I think it's filename was 'wills-animerge.scm' or similar.
Also I'm in need of another script (I think it's an .scm, but it's possibly a python file), it makes the background layer appear behind (assuming transparency..) or overlaying all the subsequent layers which is handy for animations. I know it would help if I knew the name, but unfortunately it escapes me right now!!
Thanks
