Question Script Collection Online
Posted by: calvin123 - 03-07-2024, 04:45 PM - Forum: Scripting questions - No Replies

Hi,

I am wondering if there is something like an online Gimp Script Fu collection, where you can see what others are doing, get some insights etc.
and also are able to share it?
I created my first script and wanted to share it somewhere because it was quite some work creating it.

Cheers
cal

  Ive got some gimp pictures to show
Posted by: jigsawpuzzle666 - 03-07-2024, 03:29 PM - Forum: Gallery - Replies (5)

So these are all from imagination, so they turn out a little funny sometimes,   I have changed styles from intentional to accidental.
It seems to add qualities I dont think of when drawing intentionally alone.

They are actually made out of the textured brushes, and I apply them to the canvas very carefully in a certain way to maximize the liklihood of the picture im after.
Its kinda interesting, I can talk more if you want.

So do you any of you guys gamble a little when you do art?  Big Grin 

And yes, they are mostly of cats.

  More help with color changes
Posted by: rinaldop - 03-07-2024, 08:46 AM - Forum: General questions - Replies (4)

I have 15 images that go from this 
   
to this 
   
middle like this 
   
and finally to this 
   

I want to change the colors from orange and black to blue and purple. Is there an easy way to do this perhaps in BIMP or is there a way to create these images from scratch? I see them used as temperature gauges in many pc stat displays like here.

  Layer Mode: Addition equation is working differently to official guide
Posted by: wonder13662 - 03-07-2024, 04:41 AM - Forum: General questions - Replies (3)

Hi, I'm a newbie and using GIMP(2.10.36) on Mac for several months. I have a question about Layer Mode: Addition.

According to the official guide, the Addition equation is "The pixel values of the upper and lower layers are added to each other. The resulting image is usually lighter."

So I made my own example to make sure this equation.

[Image: 2024-03-07_04-25-30-7bd241c35c31532650ca...0238e7.png]

[Image: 2024-03-07_04-25-30-446547fafc72833db53c...d39bdc.jpg]
1. Top Layer(RGB Red): 227.0 
2. Bottom Layer(RGB Red): 53.0
3. Resulting Image(RGB Red): 232.0

As far as I know, the Addition equation would be "E = min((M + I), 255)". According to the equation, "E = min((227.0  + 53.0), 255)" should yield 255. However, I got 232.0 as a result. Why does it happen?

  Exported pdf files are significantly bigger than before
Posted by: BlueRay - 03-06-2024, 03:08 PM - Forum: General questions - Replies (4)

A few weeks ago I updated all the programs on my manjaro Linux laptop, including gimp. Today I used this updated gimp and tried to make some small changes to a PDF file and then to export it again as PDF. 

On this latest version of gimp (2.10.36) such an exported PDF file turned out to have 3.7 Mb. 

On the previous version of gimp (2.10. 28) the same pdf file with the same adjustments and settings when exported as pdf has only about 475 Kb.

Everyone can probably replicate the same thing if you open a smaller PDF file in gimp 2.10.36 (let's say around 400 Kb) and even without any changes export that same file as PDF. The exported file will be significantly larger than the original. However I presume that this might happen only with PDF files that contain scanned images. I haven't experimented with plain text PDF files.

I wonder why this change was introduced into the latest gimp version which is available for the installation on manjaro (2.10.36)? It doesn't make sense to have a significantly larger file which is not better in any way than the smaller one from previous versions of gimp.

  Early issues with Ubuntu 24.04 noble numbat or feeble dumbat?
Posted by: Tas_mania - 03-06-2024, 04:10 AM - Forum: Alternate Gimp packagings - Replies (4)

2 years ago I installed Ubuntu 22.04 and was using it at least 3 months before release date in April 22.
Now with 24.04 I'm finding it full of problems a month before release.

AppImages worked for awhile and then seized-up due to an update. I fixed that by uninstalling Apparmour per this bug report.

24.04 Gimp version is 2.10.36 as a deb pack and maybe it will be the last of the 2.10 series?

Ubuntu's snaps appear in Synaptic package manager (I still use it) along with all the deb packs except you can't use snaps to build anything on because they have their own filesystem.

Ubuntu Pro. Why are some open source apps now part of an elite group of 'cloud computing' apps?

ATM Ubuntu 24.04 looks like it was made by over-zealous script kiddies who have decided to become a management layer in a flat open source world.

Sorry I'm negative about this but in 2024 everything is broken (except France Smile  )

  how to edit multi-page pdf (2.10.18)
Posted by: 977 - 03-06-2024, 03:25 AM - Forum: General questions - Replies (4)

hi all,

i'm the dumbest person in the world.

why is that important?

because that means i only know how to do the easiest things in the world, of which i can't even do that Wink

let me prove it;

using gimp 2.10.18;

i have a multi-page PDF. and i'm trying to edit a page thats NOT the first page

on the right side - lower column - i see all the pages there!!!!!!!!! (my view is set to the default view) (where the first row of buttons are layers/channels/paths)

when i click on any page thats NOT the first page - nothing happens.  i can't see that page in the center section (ya know where you want to make changes). only the first page is in the center section.

this obviously makes me feel like the dumbest person in the world as i can't do the simplest thing Sad

please help 

thanks for reading

  Map gores (Globe gores) and other map projections in GIMP with G'MIC
Posted by: PixLab - 03-06-2024, 02:57 AM - Forum: Extending the GIMP - No Replies

G'MIC just added different map projections to their filters, thus in GIMP you can now make those map gores via the pugin-in G'MIC.
Update your G'MIC filters and a new category will appear Map Projection select Sinuosidal Map, increase the number of Slices as you wish.

Note: To work(or you will get an error in the preview), your image should not have an alpha channel, thus before launching G'MIC ➤ remove the alpha channel from that layer Wink

  JPG and profil include in the EXIFS : why ?
Posted by: Fabien - 03-05-2024, 04:51 PM - Forum: General questions - Replies (9)

When I load a JPG into GIMP and use it, GIMP writes a profile to the EXIFs.

What's the point of this, given that a profile is only used to adjust the colourimetry errors of a device (screen, printer, etc.)?

  How to make a watermark on the image
Posted by: snowforest - 03-05-2024, 07:32 AM - Forum: General questions - Replies (4)

I want to make a watermark on the image with big transparent letters. 
Here is what I did:
I opened my image with gimp.
I created a text box. I typed the text of watermark.


Now how can I make this text transparent and rotate it so it becomes like a watermark?

Or tell me please how to do a watermark properly, if I am not on the right track...
