The "Path-Inbetweener" Plug-In creates many layers of Paths within two existing Paths, sectioning your shape up so that it looks like an integration maths problem. Then apparently the "Stroke-Visible-Lines" Plug-In is supposed to be able apply incremental colours from a Gradient to each of those intermediary Paths, so that in theory, with enough intermediary layers, you should be able to apply a colour gradient to a custom shape: by tracing the shape's outline with a Path and then a miniature of the shape at its centre, filling the intermediary space with additional paths, then 'Stroking' those paths with individual increments of a colour-gradient. However all I can achieve using that Plug-In tool is to apply the Background colour to all of those paths.
I can install Plug-Ins made by the "Ofnuts" person. But I can't see anywhere at all instructions as to how to actually find each tool, once installed, on the UI. Am I missing something? Does everyone else just automatically know exactly in which hidden corner of the interface each of the hundreds of Plug-Ins is stored?
I'm trying to use the "Path-Inbetweener" and "Stroke-Visible-Lines" Plug-Ins. Apparently the former is used before the latter; but I've searched every single menu-tab and can't find anything that looks like it corresponds to what the "Path-Inbetweener" Plug-In is supposed to do.
Lately I am more and more confronted with the .JXR and .JXL format, from my company out.
I often want to edit these, alas ...
... GIMP does not appear to accept this format.
Which is sad, as GIMP is my tool to go, I like it a lot more than say Adobe's Photoshop, which I also have, but ignore.
Heh.
Is it possible to have these 2 formats in the next GIMP edition, please?
With Ofnuts plugin 'Decompose to color channels' I got quick a nice effect on a photo that was taken with a blue spotlicht in the back. Could be done with another workflow, but I found this a quick one.
I am trying to make a hi res from a image. Going to print I increase pixels but it does not seem to work. I am using version 2.10 Give me some detail and examples if you can.
Thanks
I have been trying to iridescent effect to this grey suit.

and of course teach me oh wise ones!!
Hi guys,
So I'm on the road to develop a plug-in for GIMP 2.99.16, but I've just started out. I am taking baby steps and ran into this error at the get-go.
What I want to achieve:
I want the plug-in menu item to be enabled when there is no image opened.
What I changed:
procedure.set_image_types('*') <- Works.
to:
procedure.set_image_types('') # <- Broken.
What happens is that the menu item becomes enabled, but when I start the plug-in, I get an error:
"Procedure 'jb-plug-in-first-try' has been called with an invalid ID for argument 'image'. Most likely a plug-in is trying to work on an image that doesn't exist any longer."
procedure.set_menu_label("My first Python plug-in")
procedure.add_menu_path('<Image>/Filters/Tutorial/')
procedure.set_documentation(
"My first Python plug-in tryout",
"My first Python 3 plug-in for GIMP 3",
name
)
procedure.set_attribution("Your name", "Your name", "2024")
return procedure
def run(self, procedure, *arg):
Gimp.message("Hello world!")
# do what you want to do, then, in case of success, return:
return procedure.new_return_values(
Gimp.PDBStatusType.SUCCESS, GLib.Error()
)
Gimp.main(MyFirstPlugin.__gtype__, sys.argv)
On another matter, is there a way to refresh the plug-in, as in have GIMP reload it, so that I can edit code and not have to restart GIMP?
Hi pepes. I watched a video and managed to increase the fonts in Gimp which on my laptop are way too small.
I did this by altering the GTKRC file. Is there a place in that file to alter the icons too. I can hardly see my brushes and the main tools on the top left are too small as well. I used the icon theme reset to large. It is not large at all and hardly makes any difference. Please help as I would really love to use this software. but its just not pleasing to use.
Thanks JJ
Ok. Have struggled with installing Gmic for GIMP (v 2.10.22) on Mac. After several days and hours of research, I was able to install on Mojave. There is a lot on the web about install failing, so I kept on digging. The reason I still use 10.13 is due to several other CAD and 3D software that will not run on newer Mac OS (I know, but Engineered Software was bought by Form Z and it's taking a long time to release the updated version, also I have a dwg converter that won't run on newer OS). Any way, I used the Macports installation (download the correct version for your OS). Install Macports then open Terminal (utilities folder) and paste the command listed on their website to start the install. The install takes a while, you can monitor via terminal to see what is being installed (the terminal command to view what is going on is also on Macports website and it allows to see where everything is going, USE IT, especially by the end, where terminal tells you exactly the path to the gmic files, believe me, I learned the hard way). Ok, after about 1 hour or more, I think, everything will be installed BUT, and this is a big BUT, the packages are installed on the ops/ directory which is NOT where GIMP 2.10 looks for plug-ins. You need to navigate to the ops/ directory (its the optional folder: Macintosh HD/opt/local/lib/gimp/2.0/plu-ins/gmic_gimp_qt) scan through that folder and find the gmic_qt file, copy that ifile into you applications folder for gimp (you have to right click on the app icon to "show contents")
Path: Mackintosh/applications/gimp (the app)/contents/resources/lib/gimp/2.0/plug-ins once you are in that folder, you can copy the gmic_gimp_qt file by dragging it in.
Restart your Mac, open GIMP and you'll see the GMIC plug-in in the filters folder at the very bottom; it's greyed out until there is an image to work on.
Whew-it took me forever to figure this out. So far working OK. Still seeing if there are other files that need to be copied.
I think this may work for other, later OS's too, and maybe you don't need to do this for the latest GIMP update 2.10.33?
Anyway, I hope this helps
