Re: [Gimp-user] How to remove background of shadowed and/or low-resolution and/or more complex images
On 05/24/2011 11:06 PM, Stefan Maerz wrote: So, my question is how could I achieve the desired result for this and such images? How would do you work out similar or even more advanced cases? Hi Sophoklis, There are a few good methods to use. For cutting out a logo, sometimes using ColorsColor to Alpha with the background color selected does the job well. For this I would recommend using the Eraser tool, and tracing the outline of the server. Square objects are pretty simple to do - use the shift button to drag your Eraser tool from point A to point B. -Stefan Maerz Another option is painting on a layer mask - it is like the eraser tool, but much more convenient to rework and correct. But it is almost impossible to achieve crisp edges this way. For hard and crisp edges it may be better to use the pen tool and trace the contour of the object with it creating a path, that you can edit and later turn into selection. Have in mind that color to alpha removes the selected color from the whole image (except if you already have a selection).

[Gimp-user] can not use gimp pop-up windows
I observe some strange behavior when using GIMP: it affects any pop-up window inside GIMP - if the window opens under the cursor or if I enter the window with the cursor immediately after it is shown, I can not click on anything inside the window. However the buttons show their normal behavior on mouse over - they change their shading, but clicking does nothing. The only thing I can do at this stage is pressing the ESC button to close the pop up window. If I go away with the pointer from the location on which I know the pop-up will open and wait a little bit before attempting to use it everything works fine. I am expecting this strange behavior for quite a lot of time, at least with several from the latest GIMP versions, built both on 32 and 64 bit Gentoo Linux. Now I am running GIMP 2.6.11 on Xfce 4.8.0, with nvidia video drivers. There are no warnings on the console. It looks like some timing issue. It's not a big problem when you get used to it, but it is not normal. Any one else noticed this?

You have to recompile all the plug-ins that you want to use with the new version of gimp. You can't just copy them. I do not use Gutenprint, but usually I download the sources of the plug-ins and compile and install them with gimptool --installplug-in.c Note that this may overwrite files in your home gimp plug-ins or the system wide gimp plug-ins directory, so check this first. Be sure to use the gimptool program that came with the version of GIMP that you want the plug-in to work with. Greetings, Petar Thanks for answering. Gutenprint is a case apart.It's not like the regular python plugins. In Gentoo you can indicate to the package managing system that you want it also as a plugin for Gimp. All packages in Gentoo are compiled on your box. I have in the past done this with 2.6 several times worked ok. Gerard. O.K. then, but if you emerge it without any additional options it will be compiled against the GIMP version that resides in /usr, right? So you may try recompiling it by hand and installing it in your home directory to see if it will work.

Re: [Gimp-user] Gimp's rendering speeds
On 02/02/2011 03:32 PM, Jeremy Nell wrote: I've asked this before, with no answers. My aim, as a happy Gimp user, is not to slate the software, but to improve it. I am not a developer, but rather a digital artist who uses Gimp extensively. Working on large canvases, I see that Gimp slows down, where rendering is concerned. For example, if I have a complex artwork and I want to hide certain layers, then a simple click on the eye icon in the layer takes a lot longer than it should. As much as developers hate comparisons, this simple task is generally quicker in Photoshop. Another obvious problem is that, again, on a large canvas (A4 and up, 300DPI), the brushes - when increased in scale - lag behind the mouse / stylus. This indicates to me that Gimp's rendering engine could be quicker. Again, I've compared the exact same task in Photoshop (CS3) and it is considerably quicker (even with less RAM) allocated to it. Speaking of which, I am using an i7 PC with 3 gigs of RAM allocated to Gimp alone, so I'm not sure how to make Gimp's response time any quicker. Will the next release of Gimp be a bit quicker? And what tips can anyone give?

Re: [Gimp-user] Scaling / rotating images and focus
I don't have a solution, but would like to second this - it is really counter productive. The layer should indeed stay where it is and do not change settings like opacity, etc. Peter On 01/26/2011 10:22 AM, Jeremy Nell wrote: The more I work in Gimp, the more I realise that this is something that needs to be looked at by the developers, as it is not very intuitive. Again, I've found how the focus of the image being rotated / scaled interferes with the rest of the working area. For example, if I set a particular layer's opacity to 20% and the layer is at the bottom of all other layers, why, then, does the opacity become 100% and the layer suddenly appear on top of all other layers? This makes it very difficult to work efficiently. Is there a way to fix this / work around it? On 21/01/2011 12:33, Jeremy Nell wrote: Thanks.

Surface blur is the filter which I was using in PS4 to automatically blur out of focus areas (it reduces noise much better than other filters for me) and not to blur sharp areas. I liked it because noise reduction filter blurred everything and I wanted to have still sharp image with reduced noise. But now I'm GIMP user. :) Everything is pretty good here, but surface blur is the function I miss. So I would be very grateful if you tell me if it's available in GIMP as plug-in or I simply don't find that function in GIMP. The Selective Gaussian Blur plug-in might be able to provide a similar result ( see http://docs.gimp.org/en/filters-blur.html ). Sven Thanks, it really provides a similar result. However it's more similar to a PS smart blur filter, and surface blur filter provides better result (the difference is that surface blur reduces noise smoother than smart blur or selective blur in GIMP, which (it's about selective or smart blur) simply blurs some pixels so some are left unchanged). Maybe there isn't the same filter available in GIMP, but I hope Selective blur will be a very useful filter for me :) Hi, I recommend you to look at gmic (http://gmic.sourceforge.net/gimp.shtml) It has very good denoising algorithms that you can probably apply on a selection and get a decent results :) Greetings, Peter ___ Gimp-user mailing list Gimp-user@lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU https://lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU/mailman/listinfo/gimp-user

Other image editors and viewers such as Irfanview and Paint.NET open the image correctly. I am not so sure about that. The image opened in GIMP has all the information and an alpha channel. If you change the alpha channel to be all opaque, then you will see the image as shown by other viewers you tried. So I would rather assume that the other viewers don't support masks in BMP files and just ignore that extra information. As long as that is not sorted out, you should not file this as a bug report against GIMP. It is quite likely that the bug is elsewhere. Sven Hi, Sven is right. I just did: Add Layer Mask - Transfer layer's alpha channel, check Invert Mask, then file - open as layers - open the original image, flatten and the image is O.K. So it is not a bug in GIMP, but maybe in the way the image was saved with this mask.

So it is not a bug in GIMP, but maybe in the way the image was saved with this mask. Apparently Sven's answer didn't reach the list, so here it is: One could argue though that the BMP loader in GIMP should use a layer mask to represent the mask in the BMP file instead of using an alpha channel for this. You would probably have discovered this more easily then and it appears to be a better way to represent the BMP image structure. So I think we should accept a patch that changed the BMP file plug-in in this way. Sven Roel, I don't understand your technique of creating this screenshot, but it looks like the BMP file has a mask in it. This is the source of the transparency, because the file-bmp plug-in transforms this into transparency. Unfortunately I can't understand exactly how to change the file-bmp plug-in to implement that what Sven is suggesting because at this time I know just a little python, but not C.

[Gimp-user] python-fu script
Hello, I am trying to write a python script. The problematic part of it is: --- snip --- def run_resynthesize(image, drawable, vtileable=1, htileable=1): defalut_args = (0, 0, 0, 0, 0.50, 0.12, 30, 200) args = list(defalut_args) pdb.plug_in_resynthesizer(image,drawable,vtileable,htileable,*args) def create_tileable(location, file_type_search, create_nmap, texture_name, normal_map_name, save_as_type, new_img_location): images = get_images(file_type_search, location) num_images = len(images) for i in range(num_images): image = pdb.gimp_file_load(images[i]['image_file'], images[i]['image_file']) #drawable = PF_DRAWABLE drawable = pdb.gimp_image_get_active_drawable(image) #print drawable run_resynthesize(image,drawable,1,1) --- snip --- I am getting a window listig several errors like this: Procedure 'gimp-drawable-width' has been called with an invalid ID for argument 'drawable'. Most likely a plug-in is trying to work on a layer that doesn't exist any longer. And an 'RuntimeError: execution error' message on the console. I have googled, but not managed to find any answer :( How should I get the 'drawable' and what exactly should I feed to the resynthesize plug-in as 'DRAWABLE'? Please, please help!
