Best way for mirrored edging on canvas wrap prints ? - KumsaJack - 08-19-2018
I use GIMP extensively, and it's the front end for printing with Turboprint. Lately, I've been doing canvas wraps, and these require mirrored edges.
I can do them manually, but that's very slow. I've looked for a GIMP tool, but can't find a match up for the process.
I've attached an example of one that was done by select/paste/transform on each edge.
Thanks for any shared experience

Look on this page
https://sourceforge.net/projects/gimp-tools/files/scripts/
There is a script called ofn-symmetries. Try that.
Try the straight symmetry first, not the diagonal symmetry.
(Script will be found in the layer menu)

Years since I did any of those. I think I used an ImageMagick script.
No real automatic way, Same place as last post but a plugin ofn_guillotine_layers
https://sourceforge.net/projects/gimp-tools/files/scripts/ofn-guillotine-layer.zip/download
A bit more convenient than the regular guillotine. Image with suitable borders. First horizontally then vertically to get the 4 half layers.
Flip with the flip tool, Move out to the edge. The move tool moves quickly using shift-(cursor key),
to give something like this: https://i.imgur.com/10jrlXH.jpg
For a non-exact (but interesting) fill, the resynthesizer + heal-transparency.py plugins. I suppose your images will be large, so this takes forever.
Same image with borders, Heal-transparency plugin with suitable settings. https://i.imgur.com/gdLsM0O.jpg
Set it going, have a cup or two of coffee, walk round the block. When finished: https://i.imgur.com/knGyTQE.jpg
