Hello there. I have a problem that tortures me 2 days now. 
I want to extend the colormap at indexed pictures by one color with script fu.


;get colormap length from header
(set! colormap_length (car (gimp-image-get-colormap image)))     

;get colormap data from tail
(set! colormap (car (cdr (gimp-image-get-colormap image))))

;extend header
(set! colormap_length (+ colormap_length 3))      ;increaze by 3 bytes/1 color

;extend tail
;here, i want to make colormap:=colormap+"000000" thus extend the list

;set new colormap
(gimp-image-set-colormap image colormap_length colormap)

(Variables are defined ok)
I tried almost everythink while playing with let, set, list, cons car etc etc.
Thank you.

Hi, I tried to insert my avatar with dimensions smaller than 100x100 and less than 25Kb.

A message tells me that it has been accepted. Bat I do not see it on the forum near my nick name.

New to all of this, Perhaps I am trying to go about this the wrong way.....not sure.
But, for instance,  suppose I wanted to cut an image of somebody  out of picture "A", and insert it into an already existing image "B"

SO, I painstakingly draw a white area  all around the perimeter of the desired target image, then extend that white area sufficiently large that I can select and crop to a rectangular  image for use.
Then I review the image and find a color not in use in the  target image, say  HTML color h1cf905 for  example ....no sign of that color anywhere in the target image , and then change the white area surrounding the target to that color, and then set that color to alpha.


Hoping to paste that image, complete with the transparent surround, into the "B" image.
Except when I set the surround color to alpha, it's causing the colors in the target image to get all whacked out.  For instance  with the  color mentioned  set to alpha, everything is shifting into violet colors.

Almost seems like the "color to alpha" function isn't discriminating properly, and is perhaps shifting all greens to alpha?
Thanks in advance for pointing me in the right direction

I'm trying to create a sort of overhead circular glow effect. Imagine looking down on a lamp from overhead and seeing a yellow or white glow that falls off with distance. I would like to lay this over an existing image of a map. I would the effect to be transparent Strongly colorizing the map at the center of the effect and falling off toward the edge of the effect like a radiant gradient. I'm far from a GIMP expert.

I've been having a fine time fiddling around in GIMP 2.10.8 with various layer effects to get a feel for how they work. While I was setting up an inner shadow using Script-Fu, the options window vanished. I might have clicked something about color.

At that point I cpuld run other layer effects via Layer Effects, but when I tried to run the Clothify filter, I got an error message that "Script-Fu cannot process two scripts at the same time. You are already running the "Inner Shadow" script. This was obviously stuck inside GIMP. The file I used the script in had already been closed.

I finally solved this by saving the active file and restarting GIMP. Now everything is working fine and I cannot replicate the problem.

Any other suggestions for closing a stuck script without restarting GIMP should this happen again?

Hello Gimp Forum,

Just getting started with Gimp so need the Help button.
When I click on Help a message appears:


help-browser.exe Message Parse error in "https//docs.gimp.org/2.10/en/gimp-help.xml': 
GET request failed: WinHttp error: CANNOT CONNECT

How can to get rid of this error message and get to Help?

Thanks.

Hello everyone, it's my first post.

I've been using Gimp (2.8 - 2.10) for a while, but I have problems with the 27 "(2560 x 1440) screen of my iMac. For my eyes, the fonts of the interface have become too small. I tried to change the screen resolution but the result did not like. I'm looking for a configuration file where I can edit a bigger font size. I also asked for other forums but I did not find a solution.
Thank you.

hello
here is esey to method 

I'm not sure what the correct terminology is in GIMP.

That said, here's what I want to do.  Supposing I've used a number of layer effects (so, filter effects to a number of layers) to some text.

I would like to be able to somehow save those effects (or that group of effects) to apply to some different text in some different image at some other time.

So I make "ALLIE", apply some effects, and want to save those effects so that I can apply them to the text "OOPSKI", independent of the font used in the first image with "ALLIE". 

Maybe I just like the effects and want to use them on a selected squiggle that I created witha brush.  I just want to be able to save that particular group (?) of effects, to use later on something else.

Hope that makes sense.

TIA,
Allie
