Since the images are so big, it's difficult for me to drag the selection with the mouse to the exact spot it should appear. Is there some way I can modify GIMP's default selection placement behaviour? Use one of your selection tools to select the desired portion of your image go to the menu, Script-Fu - Selection - To Brush follow the directions in the dialog (give the brush a name and a file name) and spacing info if needed. Press ok and wait while your brushes are updated. Then you can use your selection as a brush wherever you desire. This saves some time and memory, but then you still have the problem of having to manually place the brush (i.e., copied selection) in the new image at the right place. The images I'm working with are too large for me to do this accurately. It occurs to me, however, that if one assumes that the selection is rectangular, then there must be a way to use a script-fu program to do this copy/paste automatically. It would need only implement the following algorithm, which assumes there are two images open and a selection is active in the active window: 1. Store the top left coordinates (x,y) of the selection. 2. Copy the selection. 3. Switch to the second image. 4. Paste. 5. Move the selection to (x,y). 6. Anchor the selection. The only trouble is, since I don't know Scheme and don't know the script-fu Gimp API, writing this six-line program will probably take me a few hours of research. I will eventually end up doing this unless someone here can come up with a better solution, or perhaps generously offer to write the script for me. :) Regards, Tristan -- _ _V.-o Tristan Miller [en,(fr,de,ia)]Space is limited / |`-' -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=In a haiku, so it's hard (7_\\http://www.nothingisreal.com/ To finish what you ___ Gimp-user mailing list Gimp-user@lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU https://lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU/mailman/listinfo/gimp-user

It can take over a minute to copy the entire image into a new layer; I just want to be able to copy small areas of one image into another.) Are you using a clipboard daemon such as Klipper? It shouldn't take that long to create a copy. No, I'm not using a clipboard daemon. When you're working with huge images (24-bit 600 dpi A3 or A4 scans) and don't have the latest and greatest in hardware, then yes, it certainly can take a long time to create a copy. Keep in mind that the method proposed above more than triples the amount of memory used (100% to create the clipboard copy, plus 133% to create a new layer with alpha channel, plus who knows how much for the undo history). On a system without much RAM this can cause a lot of swapping and possibly even thrashing.

You can also work a python-fu /script-fu script to do a paste located stuff - the way I can think of you will have toi manually type in the destination coordinates, but I think it will suit your needs for know. Let me know if you'd need such a script, and tell me if you have gimp-python running - as I'd prefere doing it in Python than in script-fu. Sure, I would be grateful for any help in making a script to do this work. I don't have gimp-python, but I suppose I could install it. As I mentioned in another post, I think the script will be very simple to write, provided one already knows script-fu (or python-fu): Assuming there are two images open and a selection is active in the active window: 1. Store the top left coordinates (x,y) of the selection. 2. Copy the selection. 3. Switch to the second image (or: pop up a dialog asking the user to select the destination image). 4. Paste. 5. Move the selection to (x,y). 6. Anchor the selection.

[Gimp-user] gimp-python source wanted
Greetings. I'm looking for the source package for the latest version of gimp-python. The official FTP distribution site at ftp://ftp.daa.com.au/pub/james/pygimp/ is rejecting connections. If someone could point me to an FTP or HTTP mirror, that would be great.

Greetings. In article [EMAIL PROTECTED], mickeydog wrote: I have an image in 2 colors (bw, no greys). How do I smooth the edges while maintaing 2 colors? For example, suppose the following represents a segment of the image (where B = black pixel and W = white pixel) WWWBW WWWBW WBBBW WWWBW WWWBW i would like the image to be like this: WWWBW WWBBW WBBBW WWBBW WWWBW (the 3rd pixel in line 2 and the 3rd pixel in line 4 changed from W to B, thus smoothing from edge from line 1, pixel 4 to line 3, pixel 2) Most filters don't operate on 1-bit images. Would it be feasible for you to convert your image to grayscale, use a smoothing filter, and then converting back to 1-bit?
