Help request from users of Gimp versions 2.9.x.
Does Gimp 2.9 version(s) support filters processing an image by tiles?
I have some of my filters which make use of tile processing to speed up the pixel by pixel processing.
At a first test of the newly released 2.9.6 it seems that none of those run.
If someone who is using already 2.9.x releases can double-check I'll appreciate.
Thanks.

(BTW another small concern about this release: it says that "add_layer" is deprecated and suggests "insert_layer", but the first one is executed the second one no(???))

Hi,

I use this script:

Hi All
Ive only been using Gimp for a few weeks so Im a relative noob.

I am trying to print to a networked printer managed centrally by Paper-Cut. When I try to print an .xcf file it gets put on hold awaiting authentication. There is no way to resume printing and authenticate. (Which is the usual process)
When exporting the same file to .png and printing there is no problem. It uses my prev' saved authentication credentials and it prints out fine.
Q1. Is it the file type and Paper Cut doesn't know what to do with it?
Q2. Is there any print resolution advantage in printing directly from Gimp instead of .png?


Cheers

I've discovered the capability that GIMP has for obtaining images directly from the scanner without creating intermediate files (i.e., File>Create>Scanner/Camera).  What I don't know but think I should is the format of the data be transferred from the scanner to GIMP.  I think the interface that is being used is called TWAIN.  Of course what really matters is the image quality being delivered by this mechanism.  For example, when scanning pictures that I want to edit, in GIMP, I've been avoiding the use of jpeg because of the lossy compression.  I'd opt for tiff if using intermediate files.  Also my scanner is capable of producing images in either 8bit or 16bit formats but when using the TWAIN interface I don't specify a file type.  I've noticed that I can select a 16bit quality on the scanner but I'm pretty sure that what I'm working on in GIMP is only 8bit even though there is never any indication of a format conversion which I think must be happening somewhere.  Is it the scanner or GIMP doing the conversion?  Or else the scanner is able to figure out that GIMP wants 8bit and does it without informing me about the discrepancy.  Is the data being transferred in a format equivalent to a file?  If so what type of file?  Or does the TWAIN specification dictate the format.

I can't paste a content from my clipboard in Windows to a new image in GIMP.

I have tryed to use:
pdb.gimp_edit_paste_as_new() from the Console,
and then it only give me the internal clipboard from GIMP.

I whant to do Arkive -> Create -> From Clipboard, 

The function could be easely activated with: 
shift+ctrl+V

But to do it manually seems complicated, and it do get me a new image from windows clipboard. But it seem that it should be possible to script it. Considering that it is only 3 keys to press, before I run my script.

I can not find any pythonfu or other way to activate it before my script, it is a function that is obviusly there, but that I have to use manualy.

Thanks

What is mask_bounds if the selection contains inner holes?

Such as in:


Or is there some other way to get the bounds?

So I've done some searching, but am unsure, whether there exists any API Reference for Script-Fu or Python-Fu.

If not, then would it perhaps be a good community project to undertake? Using something like Doxygen it shouldn't be too difficult.

Hi,
Have done a quick search through the Forum, plus have checked my User Manual but cannot find anywhere that tells me if I can compress a picture.
I thought I saw it yesterday while editing a pic but now for the life of me I cannot seem to find what it was I THOUGHT I saw!
Any help please!!  

Is there a way to print a thumbnail index of images in a folder with GIMP? I used to be able to do that with Paint Shop Pro 8.  Thanks!
