  Using filters marked by a "G" in python-fu (GEGL?)
Posted by: kolopo - 04-14-2019, 12:09 AM - Forum: Scripting questions - Replies (1)

I was writing a python script to apply a filter to all layers in an image. When I went to try and add selective gaussian blur(took me a while to figure out that's a surface blur in GIMP) I could not find a way to do it. Doing some searching it seems the G stands for GEGL. Trying to use GEGL operation from tools menu the corresponding or similar/equivalent filter seems to be "bilateral filter". Intuitively it feels like I should be able to use any filter as long as I provide parameters with python-fu, but I guess not. Is there really no way to use these filters from python-fu? 

just fyi, I'm a beginner to GIMP, and a bit familiar with python.

  Multi-Frame Color Change

Hey gang...

When working with the frames for an animated gif, can you exchange colors on multiple frames at one time?

Thanks!

  Celebrating "Click to Select" in 2.10.10
Posted by: Ritergeek - 04-13-2019, 06:50 PM - Forum: Tutorials and tips - Replies (6)

If you work with layers and need a reason to upgrade to 2.10.10, the new Click-to-Select feature could be it. Click on any area in the working window and you'll see it selected in the Layers dialog. This is one feature I've sorely missed in the transition from Photoshop.

Way to go, Development Team. Thank you!

  Maximum Image Size
Posted by: Jasper - 04-13-2019, 06:43 PM - Forum: General questions - Replies (2)

Hello all,

What is the maximum image size that GIMP can handle without crashing/lagging. I have GIMP 2.10.8 and my computer is a Dell Inspiron 15R with 1 terrabyte of storage total (it is about a third full). I'm trying to map out the text adventure game Zork. 

Thanks

  convert gimp files into pdf
Posted by: gimpcam - 04-13-2019, 02:08 PM - Forum: General questions - Replies (3)

Hi everyone,

Im a student and i tried to edit a 120 pages pdf in gimp. Once i did it, i had 120 layers that i need to save as pdf, and then use an other software to merge the 120 pdf. I was wondering if its possible to save the whole layers in one unique pdf in one save, because saving the layers as pdf one by one is sooo long.

  Is there an extension/plug-in for extended grid options?
Posted by: Marscaleb - 04-13-2019, 12:34 PM - Forum: General questions - Replies (2)

This is something that keeps frustrating me.
When I'm using the grid, it will only display the same gridlines at its designated spacing without any indication of "major gridlines."  Nearly every other program I use (that features a grid) will display "major gridlines" to help space out the grid better.  So for example, I could have every fifth gridline appear darker or thicker, or every tenth, eights, second, whatever.  The point is that I can customize the grid to give me a large grid for lining up my larger elements and a small grid for lining up the smaller elements.

But by default, I can find no such option within GIMP.  So I'm wondering if anyone has made any kind of extension or plug-in or something so that I can enable this feature.
Fundamentally it shouldn't be hard to create one; all the grid functionality already exists in GIMP so it would just need to duplicate it to draw a second grid on the screen.  And I can't be the only one who has wanted this.
Sure I can add guides, but then the guides will start to encumber the screen; I already use guides at certain key moments to mark boundaries on my image, and unless I could make those guides visually distinct from the ones I want to use as major gridlines I am going to get them confused with each other.

  Png and tiff exports deeply dark - jpg extremely light
Posted by: bgzordan - 04-13-2019, 07:14 AM - Forum: General questions - Replies (3)

Hallo everybody

I'm using arch linux and gimp 2.10.10.

Last week I created some retouched photographs, with many layers, as usual.

Every time I exported them in png or tiff I got them extremely underexposed with a reddish color dominant.

An export in jpg resulted in a light and overexposed image.

When uploaded to flickr these pngs they were given as created with darktable 2.

Since they had been taken into gimp from darktable, which was the software I have associated to gimp for conversion from the original nikon nef, I  educatedly guessed that this ws the problem (a png export from a correctly converted nef by nikon software worked flawlessly).

Anybody has suggestion about how to save my work?

It took many hours to create this final image.

Every time I make any selection and add layer mask from selection with inversion I get vertical banding in whole mask. This was apearing after upgrade from 2.10.8 to 2.10.10 win 64bit
Is it bug or it is in just my settings?

  New to GIMP - Some basic questions. v2.10
Posted by: Fennec - 04-11-2019, 05:22 AM - Forum: General questions - Replies (12)

1.) Is there no shapes or arrows built-in like there is for Windows Paint? I guess if not, I have to draw them or find a .png of these shapes/arrows and import/resize?
Seems kinda strange not to have this built-in functionality.


2.) How the heck do you install fonts? 


I downloaded "Bebas Neue" from dafont and dropped the Bebas Neue.otf file into: C > Windows > Fonts, and it shows up in Paint, but not in GIMP. I then removed it from that directory and double-clicked the file and hit "Install" and restarted GIMP, but It's still not showing up in GIMP either via search or manual scroll. I've tried to follow the GIMP user-manual which seems to be out-of-date. There's no "personal" folder in GIMP that I'm aware of, and there's no "fonts" folder in Edit > Preferences > Folders. 

Really, why is it so damn hard to get even the basics done with GIMP? I shouldn't have to spend a few hours figuring out how to install a font when it works instantly with POS Paint.
