| Selecting more than one layer mask? |
|

In Gimp 3.2.0 RC3:
The tip for the cross icon at the bottom right of the layers dialog when a layer mask is selected is plural, it says: "Remove layer masks and their effect" This seems to imply that more than one layer mask can be selected but I can't see a way to do it. When using shift or ctrl to select more than one item in the layers dialog, it activates the layer and not the layer mask even when clicking on layer masks. What does the tip refer to?

I need help writing some basic script that will draw, for example, a circle, or a rectangle of randomly colored pixels, at a specified X and Y on the selected layer. For now I got this :
Code:
#!/usr/bin/env python3
# -*- coding: utf-8 -*-
import gi
gi.require_version("Gimp", "3.0")
gi.require_version("GimpUi", "3.0")
gi.require_version("Gegl", "0.4")
from gi.repository import Gimp, GimpUi, Gegl, GObject, GLib
import sys
class DrawCirclePlugin(Gimp.PlugIn):
def do_set_i18n(self, name):
return False
def do_query_procedures(self):
return ["python-fu-draw-circle"]
def do_create_procedure(self, name):
Gegl.init(None)
procedure = Gimp.ImageProcedure.new(
self, name,
Gimp.PDBProcType.PLUGIN,
self.run,
None,
)
procedure.set_image_types("*")
procedure.set_sensitivity_mask(Gimp.ProcedureSensitivityMask.DRAWABLE)
procedure.set_menu_label("Draw Circle")
procedure.add_menu_path("<Image>/Filters/Draw")
procedure.set_documentation(
"Draw a filled/outlined circle of a chosen color and radius",
"Draws a circle centred at (center_x, center_y) with the given "
"radius, fill color, and optional stroke outline.",
name,
)
procedure.set_attribution("Your Name", "Your Name", "2024")
procedure.add_int_argument(
"center-x", "Center X", "X coordinate of the circle center (px)",
0, GLib.MAXINT, 100, GObject.ParamFlags.READWRITE,
)
procedure.add_int_argument(
"center-y", "Center Y", "Y coordinate of the circle center (px)",
0, GLib.MAXINT, 100, GObject.ParamFlags.READWRITE,
)
procedure.add_int_argument(
"radius", "Radius", "Radius of the circle in pixels",
1, GLib.MAXINT, 50, GObject.ParamFlags.READWRITE,
)
default_color = Gegl.Color.new("red")
procedure.add_color_argument(
"color", "Fill Color", "Color used to fill (and stroke) the circle",
True, default_color, GObject.ParamFlags.READWRITE,
)
procedure.add_boolean_argument(
"fill", "Fill circle", "Fill the interior of the circle",
True, GObject.ParamFlags.READWRITE,
)
procedure.add_boolean_argument(
"stroke", "Draw outline", "Stroke an outline around the circle",
False, GObject.ParamFlags.READWRITE,
)
procedure.add_int_argument(
"stroke-width", "Outline width", "Outline thickness in pixels",
1, 500, 2, GObject.ParamFlags.READWRITE,
)
return procedure
def run(self, procedure, run_mode, image, drawables, config, run_data):
Gimp.message("A")
if run_mode == Gimp.RunMode.INTERACTIVE:
GimpUi.init("draw_circle")
dialog = GimpUi.ProcedureDialog.new(procedure, config, "Draw Circle")
dialog.fill(None)
if not dialog.run():
dialog.destroy()
return procedure.new_return_values(
Gimp.PDBStatusType.CANCEL, GLib.Error()
)
dialog.destroy()
drawable = drawables[0]
image.undo_group_start()
# draw stuff here
image.undo_group_end()
return procedure.new_return_values(Gimp.PDBStatusType.SUCCESS, GLib.Error())
Gimp.main(DrawCirclePlugin.__gtype__, sys.argv)
I see that Drawable class have a method SetPixel, but in the docs it says that undo doesn't work on that. So, how to modify drawable pixels so that undo works ?

| Monochrome png exports as grayscale antialiased (RESOLVED) |
|

I'm presently trying to export a png file as monochrome only, but every time I do, it converts to grayscale antialiased in the saved .png.
Specifically, I save a strictly monochrome 300 dpi bitmap from MTPaint. I can view that image in any image viewer, including in GIMP itself, zoom in, and see that all of the pixels are either black or white. No grays.
In Gimp if I now export that as a png with a new name, the saved png when opened in any viewer now has antialiased greyscale pixels in curved shapes.
If I take that new image back in, and go to colors>image>threshold and again to make it monochrome, succeed at that, then save it as a png, it converts back to antialiased grayscale in the file.
I'd appreciate any advice on how I can simply save a true monochrome .png with Gimp.
Thanks in advance.

I just want to say thank you for Gimp.
Neighbour called and asked for help, scanner on old slow win 10 machine not working.
I convinced her to let me install Gimp.
2 minutes later I was scanning on her system.
I am a Linux dude since long time.
Gimp was always the first stop solution.
Yeah, I am not showing my graphics here - this way, I am not spoiling the thank you thing.
Be assured, I am using Gimp since a very long time.
And since a very long time, it is possible to load .psd into Gimp.
I worked in the graphics "industry" back then and I had to use apple and had to use adobe producs but, when it comes to "graphics", Gimp has been the number one solution for decades.
It can do the job.
It runs on your machine.
There are even ports for android.
thanks goes to the devs and surely to the whole user community base.
thanks
