Hi everyone.

I'm writing a plugin to automate some processes. I'm sticking to Python because I've had issues with C and Scheme.

Consider an image opened in GIMP with a zoom large enough to cause only part of the image to be seen. So, you can scroll the viewport around to see other parts of the image.

I want to know what code I have to use to know which pixels are visible, so I can add a layer to the image to a position where it will be visible in my current zoom setting.

I'm using GIMP 2.8.20 on Windows 7 Ultimate x64.

Thanks in advance.

Quick question about Inkscape, the tiled clones dialogue and the coordinate system it uses.

Lets say i clone a square 10 Rows x 10 Columns, with a
Shift Y of 10% per Row and Shift X of 10% per Column.

I also want a stair effect per column of one square:
Shift Y per Column 100 + 10 for the gap compensation = 110%.

It works as expected, but when i look at the coordinate system, i get the impression something is wrong.

   

Negative displacements are to the left and to the bottom.

   

By that logic, i should have used:
Shift Y -10% per Row
and
Shift Y -110% per Column

But that gives me something entirely different...

Where is the mistake in my thinking ??
Or is my coordinate system the wrong way around ?

   

When I open my curve tool I find there is a vertical line with the label 'x:193' where the number is a position on the horizontal axis. This position is never the same i.e. it varies from one image to another. I've tried to deduce what it means but am at a loss. Gimp context help provides no clues. Any suggestions?

Sometimes when I open files I get the following dialog:

   

Does that mean for example if I opened file with Epson RGB Profile, I have to convert to RGB to work with it and then at the end of my project convert back to Epson RGB?

Are there CMYK profiles that files have? Like if I open design for print with CMYK profile, must I convert it to RGB to work with it or I can work without conversion?

The goal is to have completed project print-ready.

Thanks

Recently saw screenshots on GIMP's Official Twitter.

To be straightforward, thanks for ruining the user interface with that corporate-idealist flat design, hard to recognize de-colored icons and the mockery of the new Photoshop UI.

Now please tell me, how to restore old themes, icons and layout of GIMP 2.8.

Hi all! I'm fairly basic with GIMP, which is why I need help with this issue. I'm looking to batch convert a series of images to 256 colors using the same palette for each image (and reduced color bleeding dithering, and removing unused colors). I'm pretty sure there's a way to do this with GIMP, but I'm finding the procedure list (and how to use it) somewhat intimidating.

Any help would be greatly appreciated, thanks!

This is Gimp 2.9.9 and although this feature has been included since Gimp 2.9.5 worth a mention.

The Select by Color tool still has the select-by options same as Gimp 2.8.x with some additions reflecting the added color spaces, hue-saturation-value (HSV) and luminance-chroma-hue (LCH)

Tucked under those, a draw mask tick box to give a preview of the areas affected by the selection.

   

I want an arrow that wiggles a little bit, as i drag the brush along.

Im not sure i understand the dynamics curves fully....

So on the left side i have 'Angle' and on the right side 'Randomness', right ?

But when i turn up 'Angle', the arrows wiggle to the right and when i restrict 'Randomness', they wiggle to the left.

What is the logic behind this ? 

   

I want to see how people look like with epicanthic eye folds https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Epicanthic_fold just for fun, how do I do that in Gimp

Hello people,

I'm still running under my "old" photoshop CS6 but I plan to quit adobe because of their policy since the cloud based version....

So in photoshop when we saving a file under a Gif (for web) we have the possibility to chose witch color will remain or be deleted etc.. is their anyway to do the sane under gimp 2 ?



Thank you
