  Can Macro perform any type of brush stroke
Posted by: kevlah44 - 09-21-2024, 01:59 PM - Forum: Extending the GIMP - Replies (1)

Is the limit of macro commands based on batch and global filtration etc ?
Perhaps that is the case.

  Spacing layers with Snap to Equidistance
Posted by: rich2005 - 09-20-2024, 09:42 AM - Forum: Gimp 2.99 & Gimp 3.0 - No Replies

Just a little demo of this Gimp 2.99 feature. I can not see much in the way of documentation ( https://testing.docs.gimp.org/2.99/en/ ) so an introduction.

Find it in the View menu and toggle the item Snap to Equidistance. 
Set two layers at the required distance apart
Drag other layers and the same offset is shown.

   

Almost impossible to escape advertisements on youtube so this 3 minute demo is on my own storage.

Question Font not displayed correctly
Posted by: Krikor - 09-18-2024, 07:55 PM - Forum: General questions - Replies (8)

Hello everyone!

I'm trying to find a solution to the following problem:

I want to use the *Al-Aser.ttf font, however, both GIMP and Inkscape do not display the font as intended.
   
Only Libre Office seems to display this font correctly.
   
However, in Inkscape, when the font is viewed in the Text and Font window, it displays correctly, although it continues to be written on the page in an undesirable way.
   
I remember having seen this type of problem before and if I remember correctly, the solution was found at the time. However, I can't remember where this issue was discussed and solved before, much less what the solution was at the time.

Does anyone know how to unravel this situation and guide me on how to make the font type as expected?

**The font is attached as a .zip file

Thanks in advance!

  Help with rack card: Dark Blues look purple when printed
Posted by: dagmp - 09-17-2024, 01:20 PM - Forum: General questions - Replies (4)

Hello, I made a design for a 4" x 9" rack card that I made using gimp and a lot of ms paint because I don't know how to use gimp very well. I printed it on my color laser and some of the dark blues look purple.

Namely:
  Really purple is the text in the blue box with the green border

  And the background square behind "compassionate carnivore"

? Is this just my printer?

? Would it be fine at a professional printer?

? Does gimp have an easy way to deal with this?

I think I'll go purchase a couple of flyers using these images at a local printer.

And if anyone has any suggestions to make this rack card better. I would appreciate them. I just noticed I spelled theater wrong.

  Status of tankedup-imaging.com

I had saved a number of links for GIMP tutorials located on the site tankedup-imaging.com, but that site is no longer active.  Does anyone know if these tutorials were saved and moved to another location?

Thanks.

  Is This Possible with GIMP?
Posted by: Connolly Music Creations - 09-16-2024, 08:34 PM - Forum: General questions - Replies (3)

Are these types of 'animated images' possible to do with GIMP?  If not, what does it take to make one and is it a specific style?  Thanks

  Faking an undo step for functions that aren't undoable in Gimp
Posted by: inkdolls - 09-15-2024, 08:40 PM - Forum: Scripting questions - Replies (2)

I intended to make this a question, but I figured out a few ways to do it, so I'm posting in case someone ever comes across this and only finds some very old unanswered questions online.

Some low level Python methods for Gimp, like get_pixel_rgn() are not undoable. For exampe, if I create a small 24 bit image, I can make the first row red, by typing this in the Python console, but then it  can't be undone:

Code:
GIMP 2.6.12 Python Console
Python 2.7.18 (default, Jan 31 2024, 16:23:13)
[GCC 9.4.0]
➤> layer = gimp.image_list()[0].layers[0] # Newly created image.
➤> r = layer.get_pixel_rgn(0, layer.width, 0, 1) # First row.
➤> r[0:layer.width,0] = '\xff\x00\x00'*layer.width # Fill with red.
➤> layer.update(0, 0, layer.width, 1)
➤>
I wrote a plugin that is notably faster using this (obsolete) function, but I want to publish it and it's embarrassing that it can't be undone. So I need to simulate that an undo step was pushed into the stack:
Code:
image.undo_group_start() #Make the plugin's name appear in the undo history dialog.
pdb.gimp_brightness_contrast(drawable, 0, 0) # This does nothing, but a full image is stored.
image.undo_group_end() # Doesn't matter if the plugin has even started.


Some other things I've tried:


Creating a selection and deselecting it. Adds an undo state, but doesn't modify the image at all, so the changes to the image remain when trying to undo.

Copying and pasting the whole layer into itself. It works, but a very discocerting pop up of  "Copied pixels to the clipboard" could appear if there is not an error console open.

Duplicating the layer and merging it down. This always adds an alpha channel, the original layer might not have one.

I guess I'll use the dummy "brightness" tool or something similar unless someone already has or can come up with  a more elegant answer.

  Batch Numbering Images
Posted by: gmpuser - 09-15-2024, 07:55 PM - Forum: General questions - Replies (7)

Is there a way to add text/watermark to a batch of images? I want to use a kind of counter tool to add text starting from 1 and counting upwards:

1
2
3
...
10
11
...
99
100
101

I would also need to adjust the font including size and style.

Thank you for any help that can be provided.
