Posted by: aka - 12-03-2021, 04:17 PM - Forum: Scripting questions - Replies (10)

Hi,

Can someone please help me for my first gimp script ?

I have a gimp file with these layers : a, b1, b2, c, d1, d2 and e.

I would like to do a script which exports several images from this gimp file. I need this script does a selection of the layers for each export, I wish in fact this :

image1.png : only with layers a, b1, c, d1 and e. (layers b2 and d2 are hidden)
image2.png : only with layers a, b1, c, d2 and e. (layers b2 and d1 are hidden)
image3.png : only with layers a, b2, c, d1 and e. (layers b1 and d2 are hidden)
image4.png : only with layers a, b2, c, d2 and e. (layers b1 and d1 are hidden)


So can someone explain me :

1. How to do loops,
2. How to switch on/off layers,
3. How to export ?

Thanks  Smile

  How to create a blank (fully transparent) dds file
Posted by: cmaesing - 12-03-2021, 09:26 AM - Forum: General questions - Replies (3)

Am currently playing a modded version of Skyrim Special Edition (SSE; not the latest Anniversary Edition) on my pc, and have come across an issue I just cannot get my head around


1.) A butterfly spawns on me all the time, and just won't go away; even player.setrace or player.sexchange will only temporarily fix it. Sometimes it's back after a few seconds, sometimes after a few minutes. It's completely at random - and it's driving me crazy!

2.) I have tried multiple forums and lots of different ideas as to how to get rid of it - but eventually it will always spawn back.

3.) That said, I have identified the texture that's used (it's always the same one) for this butterfly. So my idea is to either ...

  • take this texture dds file, and render it empty / blank / transparent, or


  • create a new texture dds file that only is transparent (and nothing else), and name it per the dds texture file as currently being in use.

Never having used GIMP before (maybe once or twice to resave a certain file into another format, but that's it), I did play around in v2.10. Sadly I haven't been able to rectify this. While I can change the texture file, it's the transparency that somehow doesn't get carried over. After removing the background (where the actual picture obviously sits) and exporting the file, the large icon of the file always looks black - which the butterfly then also does in SSE.

Would anyone be able to kindly give me some guidance as to how I can create a merely transparent dds file that will be recognized as transparent ingame? That way the butterfly would technically still be there - I just wouldn't see it anymore.

Thanks for any hint!

  [split] How to change icon theme 2.10
Posted by: flanker - 12-02-2021, 03:26 PM - Forum: General questions - Replies (4)

Hello.

I am working on creating own icon theme. New icons will be for toolbox only, every other icon remain original.
I new icons will be based on legacy theme. So I used existing *.png files of legacy theme.
Legacy icons for toolbox are located in folder ..\share\gimp\2.0\icons\Legacy\16x16\apps
I found there every used toolbox icon.
Except one - it is icon for 3D transform tool.

Any idea where can I find it?
Thanks.


it's in /usr/share/gimp/2.0/icons/Color/24x24/apps ,it's a svg
(12-02-2021, 04:29 PM)PixLab Wrote: it's in /usr/share/gimp/2.0/icons/Color/24x24/apps ,it's a svg

Thanks for help.

So whole legacy icons are png, except this one, which is even in other folder.
That's silly ...

  How can I assign a specific length to an image?
Posted by: sofasurfer - 12-02-2021, 12:40 AM - Forum: General questions - Replies (2)

I load an image of a truck into Gimp. Gimp's 'scale image' setting shows that the image (the entire image, border to border, not just the  actual truck image) is 297 pixels wide or 2.5 inches wide.

In real life this truck is 227.7 inches long. I want to use the Gimp 'measure' tool to measure the truck in the image and I want it to show that the truck is 227.7 inches long. If I zoom in or out of the image I still want to be able to measure the truck at 227.7 inches.

My reason is that I want to design an accessory that is a given length in real life and measure it in the image as being that length and then merge the image of the accessory with the image of the truck and have it fit properly. I want a consistently 227.7 inch long truck.

I did crop the truck image bumper to bumper and then used the 'scale image' tool to resize the truck to 227.7 inches. I then merged it onto a larger canvas. Now the truck measures 2.something inches again.

What is the proper procedure I should use to accomplish this task. I'm pretty new at Gimp so I am guessing this is my problem.

  Pressure sensitivity with XP-Pen Deco 01 Tablet does not work
Posted by: Ulibaba - 12-01-2021, 11:23 PM - Forum: General questions - Replies (2)

Hello everybody,

I recently tried to set up the XP-Pen Deco 01 Tablet for GIMP. With the setup tool "PenTabletSetting" I can see that drivers are installed correctly and pressure sensitivity works. The pressure sensitivity also works with the app "artRage Lite".

However, when using the tablet with GIMP, the pressure sensitivity does not work. Moving the cursor and drawing lines etc. via the tablet works well. I did some research and tried every solution approach I could find (restart, reinstalling GIMP & tablet driver, different settings for the entry "input devices"). I set the input devices to mode "screen" and tried the dynamic "Pressure Size".

I found a similar problem here:
https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gimp/-/issues/2390
But when using the provided library, I cannot start GIMP anymore (probably because it was developed for an outdated version).

I am using GIMP 2.10.24.

Maybe someone knows another approach I can try?

Thanks in advance!

  Filling transparent area with color
Posted by: Dan Bryan - 12-01-2021, 08:14 PM - Forum: General questions - Replies (9)

Hello,

I have tried with what I know, and have searched how to do what should be a fairly simple task yet no success.

I have a panorama image in the middle of the canvas.  I want to fill the lower transparent portion with a solid color.
Could somebody please tell me the tool option settings to do this with something like the bucket tool?  Once I have the solid color below my image I will want to erase the sky portion of my actual image to leave that area transparent.

Appreciate any help!

Dan

  converted text layer issue
Posted by: denzjos - 12-01-2021, 09:44 AM - Forum: General questions - Replies (2)

I've noticed something strange with gimp text layers. If I scale a text layer then it is converted to a raster layer what is normal. When I want to edit this text it is converted to a text layer what is also normal. After the conversion the layer is referred as a text layer (text layer icon in the layer dock). Now I want to change all the font in all the font layers. I have found a few plugins to do the job, in they work fine except that the layers that were converted from scaled layers don't change after using the plugin (both used). Apparently these layers are not recognised as text layers by this plugins. The other layers were converted according to the values entered in the plugin menu. Is a converted layer (text to raster / raster to text) not the same as a normal typed in text layer?
Used plugins :

  make tool options on left reappear
Posted by: RobertFrick - 12-01-2021, 04:18 AM - Forum: General questions - Replies (3)

I used to have the tool options on the left of my screen. It disappeared this afternoon, reasons unknown. I clicked on every plausible menu item and could not find a way to restore. I clicked everyone on the screen and just menu. The problem escalated when I had mutliple pictures I wanted to edit, which used to be at the top of my screen and now are not.

I thought sure that uninstalling GIMP and then reinstalling would fix things, but it did not. Even uninstalling and then downloading the newest version of GIMP did not work.

Eliminated the single screen came close but was too much trouble.

I tried to search the internet for an answer, but I have no idea what the correct key words should be. I tried searching this forum, same problem.

Using GIMP 2.10

I have a colour photo and what to convert the background to greyscale but having trouble doing this. The current process I have followed is:
Duplicate image
Desaturate duplicate
Add layer mask (white opacity)

I am working on the greyscale image and have tried using the paintbrush and the easer to bring the colour of the background image through but it hasn't worked.

TIA
