Hi,

I've been given 2000 images (all of students) to make background transparent and I'm absolutely going to be scripting this! Hopefully going to be using BIMP for GIMP on 2.10.10

I'm IT and occasionally dabble in image manipulation, but this is beyond what I know.

Process:

1. Layer > Transparancy > Add Alpha Channel
2. Fuzzy Select background. There's flat white background on all images, but different shaped humans in front - the upper most pixels (eg 10,10) are all background.
3. Delete

I've got all input and output folders sorted and ready to go so I just need the above commands for BIMP but I can't see anything that might be useful.

Can this be done in BIMP or do I need to go into scripting it using Python/Script-Fu?


Hope you guys can help!

So far I've only exported images as PNGs. When I paste it into Microsoft Word to print (so I can print it with other stuff) it comes out smaller than the original image. How do I get Gimp to not do that?

So I have some experience in Gimp and have designed over (100 ) designs, mainly simple text, although I am still very much so a beginner.
I have very little experience with designing in Inkscape but it appears pretty straight forward.

Here's the situation:
I have a design that was designed in Gimp, which contains a high resolution full color image as well as a text font I used from Gimp.
My dilemma is I want vector quality text but i dont want to vectorize the entire design, as that will change the aesthetic of the image which I want to remain realistic looking.

I am not certain how to go about using Gimp and Inkscape in combination in this case with one another.  Should the text from Inkscape be imported into Gimp or vice versa?


Also, if I take a vectorized image and output it to .png wouldn't the quality be compromised?

When its finalized I need to produce a .png file for use with Merch by Amazon.

Again, the goal is to get the crisp vector text and maintain the image quality and design I currently have in Gimp.

Sorry for the long post.

Hello there,

I'm new to gimp and wanted to know if I could draw with pressure using my hp pen.
I have an HP x360 ENVY with a touchscreen. On OneNote, (not really a drawing software), the pressure is detected.
But after having followed a few tutorials for setting up a Wacom tablet (not my case), it appears to me that to set up (if possible) Gimp with my pen, I would have to use a method not listed in any previous forums.

Hope somebody will find a solution. 

Can someone please tell me how to flip my "duplicate image without flipping all of my layers I messed with this for an hour when it should take 15 seconds. I have to be not doing something really obvious.
         
Thank you!

hi,

so, how's the rough/pixelated line smoothing in GIMP?

I just got done trying to use Corel PaintShop - do I have to paint a smooth line?

doesn't seem to work very well on black/white line drawings.

thanks

Recently I was looking for a means of identifying duplicate and similar photographs. Dupeguru would appear to fit the requirement, but I was unable to find a version to download which was compatible with Ubuntu 18.04.

During my search I came across https://similar.pictures/index.html by Vitali Fedulov. A trial of this very quickly identified similar pictures in a folder of approximately 2,500 images.
I hope that in the future this will be extended to enable use of the results which it finds.

I have a Genius EasyPen i405x. Whenever I open GIMP it is greyed-out in Input Devices. If I go to LibreOfficeDraw it works. Re-opening GIMP shows it in Input Devices and it then works. This is only a minor irritation, but a solution may help others.

GIMP 2.10.12
Ubuntu 18.04

More importantly, I think it is overdue that there be a vote of thanks to Rich, Ofnuts and others who give their unstinting help on this and other websites.

There is this tiny circle node making a part of my path curved, how do I get rid of it?

The manual way of making a High Pass Filter (that is also used in RobA's script) is:

1. duplicate image
   
2. desaturate
   
3. invert
   
4. reduce opacity to 50%
   
5. gaussian blur
   
6. merge down
   

1. duplicate image
   
2. desaturate
   
3. invert
   
4. set layermode to 'Grain Merge'
   
5. gaussian blur
   
6. merge down
