  intelligently removing logo??
Posted by: louis2008 - 01-18-2018, 09:02 PM - Forum: General questions - Replies (1)

I have a large number of photos that are with logo mostly located at the lower right bottom
corner.
I want to remove all the logo (that I am authorized to do so) intelligently and quickly

What I mean intelligently is - removing the logo while preserving the surrounding color or pattern as good as possible.
Quickly - removing in a bulk way because there are too many photos to work with, I can't afford to do it one by one

I can understand and accept that it may not apply to all photos because a few photos may be out of the "pattern"

Is it possible or simply not possible?

  Can I interleave two layer groups?
Posted by: gib65 - 01-18-2018, 05:05 AM - Forum: General questions - Replies (3)

Please have a look at the following image:

[Image: ship shading above apple.png]

I have circled in blue the problem I'm trying to solve. Part of the shading on the ship is over top the apple. So why not move the ship shading layer below that of the apple? The problem is the ship shading is part of a group (called "shading") which includes a layer of the shading on the apple too. If I move the shading group below the layer of the apple, the apple will lose its shading (it will be over top it).

I'm wondering if there's a way to take layers in a group which is above layers in another group and interleave them with layers in the lower group. After all, putting layers in a group serves a completely different function than ordering layers above and below each other. Grouping is all about organizing layers related in some way, not about ordering them according to above/below. Therefore, I would think grouping layers together should HAVE to mean the layers in one group will necessarily ALL be above or below layers in another group.

Is this true? Is there a way to do what I want in Gimp?

Thanks.

  Gimp Python script to do same thing as Free Select Tool
Posted by: sbhairava72 - 01-17-2018, 07:43 PM - Forum: General questions - Replies (1)

I can use the  'Free Select Tool'  to draw polygons.How do I use Gimp Python-fu to do the same thing?

Should I use this?:  pdb.gimp_edit_stroke_vectors(drawable, vectors)

If so, I don't know what to do for the vectors parameter. I tried treating it like an array of coordinates, or an array of arrays of coordinates but that does not work.  So far I have learned to create an image, open an image in a layer, copy a layer and more. I am not making good progress on polygons.

  copyright
Posted by: Espermaschine - 01-17-2018, 12:04 PM - Forum: Watercooler - Replies (2)

So in light of recent events, i was wondering about copyright and unwanted sharing of images.
Im not gonna slap a watermark on all my images i post on the web or should i ?

There is the advanced option to automatically add a comment in Gimp, but of course that requires people to look there and its a kind of hidden feature.
Also unsure i want to add an email adress to all my images in said comment section.

What about those licenses you see in scripts and stuff ? Does it make any sense ?

  Filter > Blur > Average
Posted by: dinosaur - 01-16-2018, 02:23 PM - Forum: Gimp 2.10 - Replies (3)

Does anyone know if Filter > Blur > Average or a filter with equivalent functionality is available in 2.9.8? I had hoped to use it in correcting a pronounced color cast.

Thanks much.

  Numerous malfunctions with 2.8.22 on Ubuntu 16.04
Posted by: garyartista - 01-16-2018, 12:33 PM - Forum: General questions - Replies (8)

I have an Ubuntu 16.04 box and am using a Wacom tablet CTL 480.  

Problems

1) the program sometimes changes color when I am drawing.  Mostly it is the second color in the two color rectangles in the toolbox. 
2) sometimes the erase function does not work or you get a color from it, the colors coming from the color rectangle in the tool box.

I can fix this temporarily sometimes by closing GIMP, also by deleting devicerc.  Sometimes I can fix the problem by disabling the tablet by editing the input devices. disabling if enabled or enable if disabled.

These problems are occurring with maddening frequency.   I hate to have to learn another program but these problems making using GIMP very annoying.

Any assistance much appreciated.

  Need help working out correct scaling.
Posted by: TravelingMan - 01-16-2018, 05:23 AM - Forum: General questions - Replies (2)

Hi there. This probably will sound like a real dumb question, but it’s really vexing me. 

I want to draw a 2d drawing of my dashboard in my motor home to scale. I want to be able to accurately place circles of the correct size for my instrument gauges so that I can redesign the whole board. 

I cannot work out how to correctly scale the drawing canvas, so I can draw a rectangle that will equal the real world size of 550mm wide by 290mm high, and then draw the guages, also to scale.  

The other alternative is using a different program. But as I only want 2d, then I thought Gimp was the best.

Hope that makes sense, and someone can assist me.

  Interrupting a long-running script
Posted by: dfkettle - 01-15-2018, 06:42 PM - Forum: Scripting questions - Replies (6)

Sorry if this question has already been answered, but I couldn't find anything relevant. How can I interrupt a long-running script if for some reason I don't want to wait for it to complete? The only way I've found is to go into Task Manager (on Windows) and kill it, which isn't very elegant and leaves the do/undo stack in an invalid state, so I have to exit Gimp and restart it. Is there a way to poll the keyboard, say once every 100 ms., and test for a keypress? Or is there another way?

Thanks.
