  pasting new layers neatly in top left
Posted by: Jeff Junior - 11-18-2018, 11:14 PM - Forum: General questions - Replies (1)

For years when I pasted something as a new layer it went into my image neatly in the upper left-hand corner. I upgraded to a 2.10.6 and now I can't figure out how to paste a new layer in that corner; it either goes into the middle or into the original position. Any advice as to how can I get my new layers happily lined up in the top left when I add them to the image?

Hi,

Can you help me try to immulate this "info" chart.

What is the easiest way to insert numbers/letters surrounded by squares or circles (depending on the score according to par the golfer makes (Bogey = square, birdie = circle)

Please see attachment for illustration :-)

Hello,

Long time Gimp user on windows. Lately switched to mac.

Downloaded version 2.10.8 dmg.
After succesful install, I get a message saying "can't be opened because identity of developer cannot be confirmed" when the icon is executed.

I am on latest osx version 'Mojave'. The security feature is set to "install from everywhere" and have succefully installed apps from 'everywhere'.

Don't know if this is an issue with the way that the installer is set-up or what   Huh

  \Data\.gimp\backups\.goutputstream-XXXXXX Files
Posted by: DoughyInTheMiddle - 11-16-2018, 08:14 PM - Forum: General questions - Replies (2)

Absolutely first time poster, but figured I'd go to the community with this because I haven't found anything Gimp related to cause this.

In the folder above, I've got about 20 files ranging from a couple that are empty, to a handful that are around 12MB in size, but half of them are around 500mb in size. My assumption is that these were times that gimp crashed and created a temporary backup, but the weird thing is that they never cleared out.

I've got 4GB of data sitting in there and just wanna make sure my assumptions are correct before I purge them.

Help appreciated in advance.

  Clipping mask
Posted by: grit - 11-16-2018, 10:23 AM - Forum: General questions - Replies (5)

In PS if you have bottom layer with some shape let's say rectangle, and you create top layer with clipping mask, everything you paint in top layer can't go outside that rectangle in bottom shape.

How to do that in GIMP?

  Resynthesizer Instal Issue in GIMP 2.10.8
Posted by: Traceybear - 11-16-2018, 05:52 AM - Forum: Extending the GIMP - Replies (2)

Hi, I have been trying to get Resynthesizer to work in GIMP 2.10.8 all day. I have reinstalled GIMP. It was originally an update from 2.8 where the heal selection tool worked great. I installed the new GIMP and installed the 64 bit windows versions of resynthsizer.exe and resynthesizer.gui along with the plugin-heal-selection.py. However, I get the error

Calling error for procedure 'gimp-procedural-db-proc-info':

Procedure 'plug-in-resynthesizer' not found

with the details

raceback (most recent call last):
  File "C:\Program Files\GIMP 2\32\lib\gimp\2.0\python/gimpfu.py", line 740, in response
    dialog.res = run_script(params)
  File "C:\Program Files\GIMP 2\32\lib\gimp\2.0\python/gimpfu.py", line 361, in run_script
    return apply(function, params)
  File "C:\Users\Tracey\AppData\Roaming\GIMP\2.10\plug-ins\plugin-heal-selection.py", line 148, in heal_selection
    pdb.plug_in_resynthesizer(timg, tdrawable, 0,0, useBorder, work_drawable.ID, -1, -1, 0.0, 0.117, 16, 500)
error: procedure not found

I do still have the 2.8 file in my profile but renamed it 2.8  old. Does anybody have any suggestions?

Thanks in advance!

  How To Remove the Lines and Boxes On A Form?
Posted by: ghporter - 11-16-2018, 01:54 AM - Forum: General questions - Replies (11)

I have a form with graphic data filled in it, and I have the blank form. I'd like to somehow use GIMP to remove the form's boxes and lines, so that ALL that's left is the graphic data. The form is printed in blue, while all the data is black.

I tried removing the blue color from a scan of the completed form, but the graphics overlay the lines, and it became a pixel-by-pixel struggle - and so error prone that I gave up.

Is there a way to use a scan of the blank form as a mask to remove the printed info from the form (lines, boxes, labels, etc.) from a completed form?

Here's an example (not precisely the same thing, but it's close) of the kind of form I'm talking about (sorry for the size of the image):
[Image: fbi-fingerprint-application-form-fd-258-...83x683.jpg]
And a filled example:

  TIFF files appear washed out after export

After I export an image to a TIFF, it appears washed out when opened outside of GIMP, but appears fine when loaded in GIMP.

  Gimp 2.10 'with files' batch
Posted by: rich2005 - 11-15-2018, 11:34 AM - Forum: Extending the GIMP - Replies (1)

As you know, I am not a coder. 
Selina in this post https://www.gimp-forum.net/Thread-Changi...5#pid11445 has an unknown number of .xcf files of various ppi and would like all as 96 ppi.

A little plugin to do one at a time: Does not do much, sets the ppi and saves the image straight away.

Code:
#!/usr/bin/python
# -*- coding: utf-8 -*-

from gimpfu import*

def plugin_96ppi(img, drawable):
    
    filename = img.filename
    pdb.gimp_image_set_resolution(img, 96.0, 96.0)
    pdb.gimp_file_save(img, drawable, filename, filename)    
    pdb.gimp_image_clean_all(img)

register(
        "python_fu_96ppi",
        "set96ppi",
        "*",
        "*",
        "*",
        "2018",
        "<Image>/Tools/set-96ppi",
        "*",
        [],
        [],
        plugin_96ppi)

main()

Can this be used in a Gimp batch mode? https://wiki.gimp.org/wiki/Release:2.10_changelog has a with-files macro. Seems simple but I can not get this to work. Not using the flatpak, using a 'bunt' 18.10 VM & Gimp 2.10.6

Quote:-A new 'with-files' macro is available to run commands on several files at once. For instance, if you want to invert colors of all png files in a directory, and save them as jpg, you could run:
gimp -i -b '(with-files "*.png" (gimp-invert layer) \
             (gimp-file-save 1 image layer \
             (string-append basename ".jpg") \
             (string-append basename ".jpg") ))'
             
**quiet rant** Gimp really needs some sort of macro facility that does not rely on command line or writing a script. Tried all ways with BIMP but it just does not handle .xcf files with several layers.
