Hi, I'm just switching to GIMP from Photoshop and can't seem to work out how to do something I did quite often in PS.


I had photographed a number of objects and one of them needed to be rotated. In PS I would select the object, copy it to a new layer (Cmd-J on my Mac), select the object on the layer with the Transform tool (Cmd-T) and then rotate it with the curly arrows in the corner.

I've managed to copy a selection to a new layer in GIMP (copy > paste > new layer) but can't work out how to rotate the selection independently of the base layer.

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Hi everybody!

I am a total beginner to Script Fu, and am having a hard time finding good documentation. If anybody has some good general advice, it is very much welcome.

But here is my specific problem:

I would like to write a script which lets me automatically create two images out of one portrait picture: One from the left half of the face and its mirror image, one from the right side respectively. It is to show that a face is never completely symmetric.

In order to get familiar with it all, I have written a very humble script, which should create two copies of the image and flip one of them horizontally.

But already I encounter a problem: It seems to safe the pictures and layers and does not renew them if I apply the script to a new image. Only if I restart GIMP, it renews them. Could somebody please tell me, how I delete the buffer or tell it to overwrite the image/drawable?

And if someone could already tell me the names of the procedures to only copy and flip a selected part of an image and to insert it in a defined place of the new drawable, so I can already try a bit. At least I hope that procedures like this exist...

Thank you so much!
Cheers!
Kat



Here is my current script:


(define (script-fu-two-faces img drw)
  (let* (
        (drawable-width (car (gimp-drawable-width drw)))
        (halfdrawable-width (* drawable-width 0.5))
        (drawable-height (car (gimp-drawable-height drw)))
        (leftimage (car (gimp-image-new drawable-width drawable-height RGB)))
        (leftlayer (car (gimp-layer-new leftimage drawable-width drawable-height 0 "tfl" 100 0)))
        (rightimage (car (gimp-image-new drawable-width drawable-height RGB)))
        (rightlayer (car (gimp-layer-new rightimage drawable-width drawable-height 0 "tfr" 100 0)))
        )

        
        (gimp-image-insert-layer leftimage leftlayer 0 0)
        (gimp-drawable-fill leftlayer WHITE-FILL)
        (gimp-display-new leftimage)
        (gimp-image-insert-layer rightimage rightlayer 0 0)
        (gimp-drawable-fill rightlayer WHITE-FILL)
        (gimp-display-new rightimage)



        (gimp-edit-named-copy drw "tobepastedleft")
        (gimp-edit-named-paste leftlayer "tobepastedleft" TRUE)
        (gimp-displays-flush)


        (gimp-item-transform-flip drw halfdrawable-width 0 halfdrawable-width drawable-height)

        (gimp-edit-named-copy drw "tobepastedright")
        (gimp-edit-named-paste rightlayer "tobepastedright" TRUE)
        (gimp-displays-flush)

        )
        )


(script-fu-register "script-fu-two-faces"
  "Two faces..."
  "Creates an image from left side of the face"
  "K.Imai"
  "K.Imai"
  "2017"
  ""
  SF-IMAGE      "Image"             0
  SF-DRAWABLE   "Drawable to apply" 0
)

(script-fu-menu-register "script-fu-two-faces" "<Image>")

I already have a clothing picture but its the design and lighting around it that i can't seem to create. If anyone has any idea i'd greatly appreciate it.

GIMP 2.9.5
   

Ouch...

   

Although I do not take many RAW photographs, I do like the NuFraw Gimp plugin, which works (for me). No longer it seems.

Not keen on Darktable which tries to take over everything. RawTherapee is good, I could go that way. Fortunately the standalone NuFraw works, not quite as convenient as the plugin but fires off a 16 bit image into Gimp 2.9.5. Just need to set up the correct path in NuFraw configuration.

When creating heightmap I need that central black areas become sharpened black and central white areas sharpened white. Between black and white areas there shold be a soft grey falloff so that I got smooth transitions.

Gaussian blur does smooth falloff but it dilutes black and white areas into grey.
Is there a way to maintain B & W and get smooth grey falloff in between B & W? 
I tried G'MIC varois smooth options but didn't get what I want.

People that use Gimp under Ubuntu can add a PPA to their software sources, so that Gimp is updated from it instead of being non-updated from the repos. The people behind the PPA have sent a notice that the PPA is moving:

Hey guys, I'm looking for a way to use .net to open up a application in Gimp,

Something like:

I have drawn rectangle with border set to 5. I would like to draw  another one with the same border size. Is it possible to repeat it without going to border setting every time ?
