  .bat script issues
Posted by: ThaUnknown_ - 03-26-2018, 08:33 PM - Forum: Extending the GIMP - Replies (3)

Code:
@ECHO OFF
TITLE Compress GIMP
CLS

REM This is to get the first argument after the batch file
SET FILE_IN=%1
CALL :DEQUOTE FILE_IN

REM This sets the path used in the gimp script
SET PATH=%FILE_IN%\*.png

REM This prints the path
ECHO Will run GIMP script in path '%PATH%'. Press Enter to continue or Ctrl+C to exit.

REM This waits for enter input
PAUSE

REM Change argument 0 to the GIMP exe
REM For me it's "D:\Programs\GIMP 2\bin\gimp-2.8.exe" 
REM If you want to run it inside the current cmd window,
REM  use gimp-console-2.8.exe, otherwise (aka new window pops up), use gimp-2.8.exe
"D:\Programs\GIMP 2\bin\gimp-2.8.exe" -i -b "(batch-auto-fix \"%PATH%\")"

REM Tell user it's done!
ECHO DONE.
GOTO:EOF

:DEQUOTE
FOR /F "delims=" %%A IN ('echo %%%1%%') DO SET %1=%%~A
GOTO:EOF
This is a script I asked my friend to make that changes the image mode to indexed and saves it as a compressed .png. He never could get it to work and he gave up so I figured this is the best place to ask for this kind of help. I hope his comments are enough, if not I could elaborate/explain if issues arise.

  Saving to .pdf problem
Posted by: Pat625 - 03-25-2018, 05:55 PM - Forum: General questions - Replies (3)

I can open a multipage .pdf in Gimp 2.8.22 as layers and work on it without difficulty. When I try to save it as a .pdf, all I get is one page and the others are lost.  Is there any way to save a multipage .pdf using Gimp?

  Changing "Tool_Tip" foreground colors to make readable
Posted by: brianpb007 - 03-25-2018, 02:27 PM - Forum: Linux and other Unixen - Replies (1)

When I hover over a button in GIMP,  and get a "tool tip"  which appears to have white text on an off-white background, nearly zero contrast and impossible to read.

How does one change the foreground/background colors of the 'tool tips' to make these readable?

If I download/install 2.8.22 will I have library version conflicts, manual updates?  [1]

System:
GIMP 2.8.18, YAST install, latest available from Suse
OpenSuse 42.3, fully patched
Linux spock 4.4.104-39-default #1 SMP Thu Jan 4 08:11:03 UTC 2018 (7db1912) x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux


NOTE [1]: Installed VLC outside of YAST, now seeing:
phonon-backend-vlc-0.8.2-5.2.
x86_64 conflicts with vlc-noX > 2.2.99 provided by vlc-noX-3.0.1-278.2.x86_64
vlc-codecs-3.0.1-278.2.x86_64 requires libavcodec57(unrestricted), but this requirement cannot be provided

As bad as DLL HELL with windows!

  Clone tool is darker then what it is cloning
Posted by: Ezz9 - 03-23-2018, 03:56 AM - Forum: General questions - Replies (8)

It uses to be an exact match. But now it darker then the part I'm cloning. No matter what area I try to clone from, it's always going darker then what I pick from and had become pointless. 
I don't know if there is a setting for this that has been changed or what is going on. I need it to be an exact clone of what I take from. Like it uses to be.
I have 2.8.16 

top left I cloned a line moving down from the right and it doesn't match.
bottom right it's going so dark it almost black.

  GIF Help
Posted by: M0orty - 03-23-2018, 03:38 AM - Forum: General questions - Replies (2)

Gif help

Hello i am new to the GIF game. My question is, I created a transparent logo. I wanted to do simple animations to it. So i duplicated the transparent background logo 50 times. I added simple stuff like Supernova going from larger to smaller in each frame. When i do an animation play back i can see the previous frames still in the GIF, Like if each still shot is composited and not muted after each image is processed. Now if i create a background and use a combine script fu it works perfectly. I assume its because its hidden behind each color background that's combined. The problem is i don't want a color background. I want a transparent GIF so i can use it on my twitch overlay... Can anyone help???? Thanks for your time Below are examples of what I am talking about.

  Best method for cutting out background?
Posted by: enginestar - 03-22-2018, 10:40 PM - Forum: General questions - Replies (6)

I've been through tutorials on youtube...

Using Lasoo is OK for some parts. Not all.

Using layer mask + brush is OK... but edges are hit and miss - some OK, some not.

Is there a layer mask version of the Lasoo tool?
The thing is, once a part is deleted, I can't get it back.

Or... are there any other better methods?

Thanks.

  anybody using RobA's Analyze and Select Color Range plug-in ?
Posted by: Espermaschine - 03-22-2018, 07:48 PM - Forum: Extending the GIMP - No Replies

I was watching a video tutorial yesterday, and PS has a Colour Range selection tool, which RobA's plug-in was inspired by, i think.
Had it installed for a long time, but not really used much so far.
Unfortunately i couldnt get good results with it, especially not by adding or subtracting from an already existing selection.

You can find the image used in the tutorial here.

This is what the colour range looks like in PS. You select a colour with an eyedropper, which is basically what Gimp's Selection Tools do, but there is an interactive fuzziness (=Threshold) slider.

   

The goal is to select the hair and change the colour with Colourize and a layermask.
In the end i used the Fuzzy Selection Tool, because i couldnt find a way to select all the hair with the RobA plug-in.
But theoretically this tool should be able to make a better selection.
