[Gimp-user] Incremental Batch Rotation
Hello, is there a way to take an image, and make an animation of it rotating 360 degrees? I've never looked into batch processing with GIMP, but I would be willing to. This is for a video game sprite. Thanks, Ben Garcia AnimStack can do it: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=49FGgONSduM (though in the latest version you can do something like [;rotate:-15*i] [.fg] instead of [angle=inc:-15] [.fg] [-;rotate:angle] like in the video) -- Grue (via www.gimpusers.com/forums) ___ gimp-user-list mailing list List address:gimp-user-list@gnome.org List membership: https://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gimp-user-list
[Gimp-user] batch mode in gimp?
I know python and I know scheme (and a lot of other languages, if that matters). Granted, I don't know the scheme dialect used by gimp. I'd rather use any lisp dialect in favour of python. I started to learn python, but I broke, since I just can't get used to python's lambda's. Due to the indentation syntax, defining lambda's seems to be very ambiguous to me. OTOH, I'd probably never need lambdas for picture manipulation 8-) I'm a Python programmer by trade, and I develop my scripts in Script-Fu. It has numerous advantages over Python, such as being truly dynamic (you can refresh your scripts without restarting GIMP), better console (Python's indentation is hell), and like you noticed it has real lambdas. The scheme interpreter used by GIMP also has macros, which can be used to eliminate repetitive code. Script-Fu API is also more consistent than Python's (almost everything is an integer, and all gimp library functions return a list of return values), so Procedure Browser is also a complete documentation of the library. Granted, it would be nice if GIMP included a more powerful Lisp (such as ECL, Embeddable Common Lisp), but Script-Fu's Tinyscheme is surprisingly fun to program in. -- Grue (via www.gimpusers.com/forums) ___ gimp-user-list mailing list List address:gimp-user-list@gnome.org List membership: https://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gimp-user-list
Re: [Gimp-user] Rescale Tool - Layer Mask Added
When you try to rescale a layer using the Rescale Tool with a layer mask active, it scales of the mask, likewise if you select the layer it will scale the layer. Can I select both the layer and layer mask and scale the layer, thus it keeps the layer mask showing the desired masked area only. As the only way I can see currently is by applying the layer mask on the layer and then you can see the layer/s below to get the scaling that is desired. But I would like to keep the layer mask active for editing after scaling. The behavior of scaling a layer with a layer mask is indeed very strange (it also creates a floating selection for some reason?) There's a workaround though (two workarounds, in fact) 1. Put your layer inside of a layer group, and scale the layer group. This will scale both the layer and the mask. 2. Link your layer (in your layer dialog there's one column for visibility and one for linking). Again, this will cause all transformations to be performed on both the layer and its mask. Just remember to unlink it when you're done with it. -- Grue (via www.gimpusers.com/forums) ___ gimp-user-list mailing list gimp-user-list@gnome.org https://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gimp-user-list
[Gimp-user] gimp displays rubbish when panning picture.
Hi again all ! Am kinda spamming the forum today as i managed to test G2.8.4 without uninstalling my current 2.6. And therefore, i have some questions, and the first one is about the strange behaviour of the image drawing when panning the picture. Instead of long boring words, lemme post a picture of the picture window after panning the image: The image is brought as attachement... After a short time ( from less than 1 sec to 2-3 sec) this appearance disappears and the image is properly drawn. Does anyone know the reason for this, and wether there's a way to avoid it or not ? I believe this happens to everyone using GIMP 2.8.* on Windows. There is a workaround: instead of spacebar-panning, use Navigation Control at the bottom right of image window, or Navigation Dialog (http://docs.gimp.org/2.8/en/gimp-navigation-dialog.html), or window scrollbars. Neither of those cause this glitch. -- Grue (via www.gimpusers.com/forums) ___ gimp-user-list mailing list gimp-user-list@gnome.org https://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gimp-user-list
[Gimp-user] Python script query
I had difficulty getting the [delete] tag to work properly... it deletes the first two layers and then every second layer after that. This is because every layer that has an animstack action tag on it is deleted after processing, this is not something unique to [delete] tag. This is because tagged layers are basically commands, and after being executed they are not needed anymore. I found that by inserting a duplicate layer of Layer 1 and then changing the name of this to [delete] and then running 'Process AnimStack Tags' I got the desired result of leaving the first one and then deleting every second layer in the list after that. The intended use-case was that a new empty layer is created tagged with [delete] and placed right before the first layer that is supposed to be deleted. But your way is fine too. -- Grue (via www.gimpusers.com/forums) ___ gimp-user-list mailing list gimp-user-list@gnome.org https://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gimp-user-list

I have tried out the 'AnimStack' plugin but found that it dosen't perform the Delete functions very well or else I'm just not using it correctly. Hi, the author of AnimStack here. I would wager the latter option is correct, since it clearly does perform the delete functions, and people other than myself are using it for this specific purpose (i.e. https://sites.google.com/site/taumox/making-animated-gif-image-from-a-video-scene) Have you watched the video tutorial for this feature? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=49FGgONSduMt=7m40s P.S. Consider learning Scheme/Script-Fu as it's much easier to develop/debug GIMP scripts in it. -- Grue (via www.gimpusers.com/forums) ___ gimp-user-list mailing list gimp-user-list@gnome.org https://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gimp-user-list
