In Photoshop this tool has many modes like colour mode which smudges only color, in gimp is just normal. is it under development?
also blur/sharpen and dodge/burn are only in normal mode

I'm new to scripting, but I have a programming background, so I think I can do this. I have Python skills. 

I have a short movie, which I've exported to 570 individual png files. What I want to do is apply the fuzzy select tool, with a selectivity of 70, smack dab in the center of each png, cut the resulting selection, and save the file somewhere that doesn't overwrite the original.

I thought I might be able to do this using bimp, I've got it running, but it doesn't seem to support the gimp_image_select_contiguous_color function that I would need to do this. Maybe, or maybe I'm looking at it wrong.

When I start googling gimp scripting I find posts going back to the last century. I don't know what the best current methodology is, nor how to get started? I don't want to waste time reading obsolete documentation or approaches to the problem. So I thought i'd ask here.

I'm running on MacOS Big Sur running GIMP 2.10

I saw a very interesting video using PS where there is a built-in effect called Liquify which allows Face deformation in a very interesting way. The video is from Pixavu ( something like that ) and was talking about making caricatures out of photos. This particular plugin can bulge or make the eyes looks big, adjust our mouth, nose etc in a way to help in process.

The video says that this feature is CC 2015 and later. Not sure whether GIMP 2.10 has anything like that. Not complaining, only checking. Thanks.

Who has a working version of the sg-fit-face.scm script for gimp 2.10.24 ? I download it and put it in the script directory. The script appear in the gimp layer menu but nothing seems to happen if I click on it. I've made a path on each of two different layers as the script needed to work with. Thanks in advance for the answer.

Is it possible to preset the resolution of the picture and then use hot keys to apply them to other pictures or photos?

The Gimp webp plugin is very adequate. You can export your image and make animations easily although  sometimes a bit slow.  This is about some command line (CL) programs that might come in useful as alternatives.

The webp format does come from Google, their official offerings are here: https://developers.google.com/speed/webp/download
The download provides utilities  cwebp: encoding tool / dwebp: decoding tool / gif2webp: gif conversion tool /  vwebp: webp viewer / webpmux: create and extract anmations   I have to confess that the only one I use regularly is the viewer, vwebp

ImageMagick v.7  (IM) supports webp. There is a page with all the details here: https://imagemagick.org/script/webp.php  Converting an image to webp is as simple as;

Any help?

Thanks!

I am getting error messages from script-fu. 

For example, I opened File-->Create-->Fx-Foundry-->Logos-->Fiery Steel.  When I select the Font box to change the Font I get the following message.

I am trying to draw an offset border (red in the figure) around an object shown in the figure. The offset border should have the same profile as the object. I tried selecting object, creating a border, scaling it however, I couldn't manage to get what I want. Would you help please?

I opened an svg image that I exported with librecad's "export as makercam svg" option and gimp opened the svg with transparent backgroun but an ellipse in my drawing was distorted.
Then I tried librecad's "export as image" option and selected file type as svg. Then I opened that image in gimp. Now the ellipse looks fine but now it opened with a white background as if opening an image, not a transparent background. How can I tell if the second image opened as svg?

Or how can i make the ellipse look regular in the first image?
