Thanks for setting up the list. I suspect the 100 user limit will be reached

The script name and full menu path goes in to a script-fu-menu-register

in any of the scripts that are shipped with GIMP. It is also mentioned in

I didn't go through the script in detail as it was rather long. I did notice 
the above. You are creating a new display but did not save the image ID. You 
need to pay attention to functions that return a value and do something with 
the return values.

If the first entry in the list is "somefile.JPG" what you have above will 
attempt to save out a new version with the name "somefile.JPG-new".


What you need to do is get the root filename "somefile" and append 
"-new.JPG" to create the new filename of "somefile-new.JPG".


The simplest way to handle the situation is to read the files from one 
directory and save the modified version to another. The not so easy method 
is to split the string on the . in the filename in to "simefile" and ".JPG" 
so you can create a string with the new name for the modified file.

The problem with that line is that you are passing two strings to + instead

you want is string concatenation.


Try the following:

The negatives have an orange cast which inverts to monochrome blue.
Restoring old negatives involves more than just a colour inversion. The 
colour balance is likely to be off. I have 400 colour slides to scan and 
restore that date back to the last 60s to mid-70's. I know the colour 
balance is off as the red has faded over time. I don't yet know about any 
changes in brightness and contrast.


One other (non-GIMP) approach to fixing slides that you may be able to adapt 
to negatives by adding a colour inversion step can be found at:

I haven't tried it yet but I'm thinking about it. It was mentioned in this

Creating your own theme is possible.

Here's an example of the mid-grey theme I created for myself: 
https://imgur.com/a/Zs3m8uZ
you're welcome to a copy of it.

I've modified one of the supplied themes, mostly separating out the colour 
definitions to make it easier to modify, although several of the UI elements 
are defined by images which need to be mangled manually.

There aren't any particular rules about it. I would start by referring to 
the program as GIMP and not gimp, then the version number of the program you 
were using. Saying "v2.10" or "version 2.10" should suffice. It would also

The pds-2.4.116.tar.gz is an archive containing one or more (compressed)

Distros often have versions of software that are older than what may be 
available from the official site for a given program. They do it for any 
number of reasons. Some distros prefer to use only what they consider tried 
and tested software. Other distros provide software versions that are closer 
to the latest. Those distros can be for the more "adventurous types" or 
those that need to be running close to the current releases of software.


You have some options. You can build the latest version of GIMP yourself but 
if you aren't used to building software it is not a trivial task to do it 
the first time. You can for a PPA for GIMP. That will let you install and 
update GIMP the same way you install other packages on your machine. The 
other option is to check the GIMP website for a downloadable file that will 
give you the latest version available. If you use the latter option it will 
likely be up to you to keep the program up to date.

If the image you are working on was created by GIMP the name of the font 
will be in the .xcf file. Short of that, you can use websites such as 
identifont.com or https://www.myfonts.com/WhatTheFont/ to get an idea of the

You don't need an app to attempt font identification. There are multiple 
websites available online that will attempt to identify a font for you given 
a sample image. There is at least one site that attempts to identify a font 
based on you telling it about various features of characters in the font.

Re: [Gimp-user] Editing/replacing text on .xcf image

I have a single-layer image (in .xcf format) and I want to change some of

Ask the person who created the image to send you the multi-layer .xcf file. 
If they still have that version available it will make it a lot easier to 
make the change you want to make.

If the single layer PDF you generated had the right look to text outputting 
a multi-layer version should not change the appearance of the text. You need 
to do an export to PDF from the original multi-layer XCF file on a machine 
that has the fonts installed which are referenced by the XCF file.

In GIMP you could try using the liquid rescale plug-in. You would have 
better results if there was a larger version of the image and you could 
scale it down. Making it twice the size may not work out as well as you 
might like for use in a book.

You need to look for the system-wide gimprc, (mine is at  C:\Program Files\GIMP

I'd suggest that one of the reasons is the relative lack of availability of

The problem with Partha's builds is that he changes things to suit himself and

it has been kept up to date or not.


One of these days I'll look at some of the Script-Fu documentation and check

It comes down to a question of priorities as I have a lot of projects on my

If you are sending only an xcf file your friend won't see the fonts as you 
do unless they also have those fonts installed. If you want to send font

You have some old Script-Fu scripts in your installation of GIMP. The

tablet needs to learn what features they use more often and if configuring a 
button to quickly access those features would be helpful.


For me, two features that I find useful to have access quickly/easily are 
swapping the foreground and background colours, and switching to the eraser 
tool.


Which of these two features is accessed by the stylus button and which is 
accessed by a tablet button will be personal preference.

It must be a Windows specific issue. I just created an image, clicked Print,

For Windows, if you can determine the offset you need to get the image 
centered on a page you can add a transparent background layer that would put 
the image in the right place for it to appear centered.


The other option is to pull the image in to something like Inkscape or a 
word processing program where you can position and size the image as needed 
to have it appear on the printed page where you want it.

The two problem areas you will run in to are images with adjustment layers,

GIMP is moving towards higher colour depth. Would a high bit depth monitor 
be worth it? That would depend on your use case(s). Is GIMP the only program 
you would run that would benefit from a high bit depth monitor? Do you run

Earlier messages referenced a Canon digital camera, IIRC. I also saw a 
reference to the images showing up as very small when the pictures were 
loaded in to GIMP. That tells me that the camera images you are trying to 
load are in RAW format but you don't have a plug-in in GIMP that will let it 
read files in that format.


What you are seeing are the thumbnails of the RAW files. You need to install 
a plug-in for GIMP to let it read RAW files. You can install either dcraw or 
ufraw plug-in to let GIMP read the files. If you can't find either of those 
plug-ins you will need to convert the files in to a format that GIMP can 
read before you try loading them in GIMP.

this particular document was created using GIMP


GIMP includes a filter to add drop shadow to an item. There are (or were)

You said the drop shadow on the image you are dealing with is not "normal". 
What is different about it? If the image was created by GIMP it may be 
slightly different than a drop shadow created by Photoshop (or some other

As to your first statement, I'm glad you like the program. Others have

With my larger themes for 2.8 I was asked to NOT set the font by some users 
because the operating system/window manager is setting the font independently 
of GIMP. I believe the same is true of the 2.9 themes, where the font-size 
setting is present but commented out of the gtkrc files.

So the way forward is a small piece of documentation to explain how to edit the 
theme gtkrc file for those users who need to change it.

No you won't be able to use Color-32 as it's a full theme not an icon theme.

Also, unless some work has been done to allow for users to select larger icons, 
GIMP's use of the icon-theme mechanisn will prevent you from having larger 
icons.

It sounds like you have include a menu path in the script-fu-register call

In the script-fu-register block the first thing you specify is the name of 
the script function to be called. The second entry is the menu entry for

You set the path by including a menu register call such as this:

The image shows hardness is set to 1 but anti-aliasing is on. I think the

There is a portable apps version f GIMP that you can put on a memory stick

As you say TkInter isn't in the GIMP supplied Python (which is a pity as it

PyGTK, which you should be able to understand quite readily as you have TkInter 
experience.

If you had done a search using the words "gimp unbound variable" you would 
have found the solution on the page

https://www.gimp.org/docs/script-fu-update.html

You have an old script that is using a variable before it was defined. Make 
sure your variables are defined before you use them.

Subject: [Gimp-user] set layer name

Hi.

I'm putting together a very simple python-fu script that will load three png's
as layers, set the names of the layers to something other than the file name,
and then export the whole thing as a PSD.

I've found most of the api calls I need to make, but I'm not able to find a way
to set the layer names.  Am I missing something or am I going about this the
wrong way.

If this has already been answered, please point me to the threads.

Thanks
John Morrison

My initial guess would be that your image mode is Indexed.

Check Image>>Mode and make sure it is set to RGB after importing the images.

Hi, folks,

   I'm running CentOS 6.7, and the most current GIMP for that, 2.6.9-8. A
friend, half a continent away, is scanning parts of a number of old
'zines for me. From that, The originals were printed on colored
paper

I want to do OCR. On a couple of .pdfs, one I d/l from the 'Net, and
one from a different scanner, I import it into GIMP as images (we're
talking 16-20pp), and, page by page, push the contrast to max, cut the
brightness to half or less of what it was, then pull up threshold, and
the preview shows me black text on white, and saving it that way,
tesseract works just fine.

   Doing that with these scans, nada. No useful changes, and threshold
does nothing.

   Clues for the poor?

Re: [Gimp-user] Change the UI size?

[Kevin Payne]

Jehan: re font-size

  The font size can be controlled by the theme, but to judge from this post, 
there may be some operating system/window manager effects as well:
http://gimpforums.com/thread-new-default-double-theme-for-uhd-4k-sp4?pid=47087#pid47087
  
  Maybe it's seeing "14 point" and deciding that as it's a high dpi screen, it 
needs to be drawn bigger. I also don't have a high dpi monitor so this is all 
speculation.

I agree, since I am working on the icon size customization (the
"future plans" Kevin told about earlier). Though I must say it's not
easy to prioritize and see what others are going through because I
don't have access to any HiDPI screen, not even to test, even less for
my own daily use.

I have also a question, about when you say that text is also too
small. From what I understood, GIMP should simply follow whatever text
size settings your operating system is configured with. Are you saying
that font size is bigger everywhere else but not in GIMP? I think this
should not happen (but once again, I can hardly test myself without
such a screen).
Thanks.

Re: [Gimp-user] Change the UI size?

[Kevin Payne]

Dag,

  Sorry I haven't explained in more detail what to do with the .7z files.

  Yes, you need to put the Color-48 folder (containing all the subfolders) into 
your personal GIMP profile Themes folder (C:\Users\Dag\.gimp-2.8\Themes).

  BUT - you're using a GIMP 2.9.? version? If you have the option in your 
Edit>>Preferences>>Icon Theme, then the theme you have downloaded is not going 
to work.

  With 2.9.3.???, Icon Themes now control which icons you get BUT the theme 
controls which size icons, and as far as I know, no-one has made a suitable 
pair that specify and supply larger size icons. Quite frankly, it's a mess at 
the moment.

Thank you very much, Kevin!

It might be a good idea, for users like me, to explain how to go about
installing the theme. As I did not realize that these were zipped files, I
started off by just putting the downloaded color theme and symbolic theme files
in what I thought would be the right folder, but, understandably nothing
happened. I then did a search on the file suffix in order to find out that they
were 7zip-files. I have now downloaded and instlled 7zip, and unzipped the files
and I now have a folder named "Color-48" with several subfolders and files in
it, but I am uncertain what to do? Should I place the WHOLE folder as it is in
the Themes folder? Or just some of the files? And on my Windows 10 PC, I found
one Gimp Themes folder in "C-> User-> Dag -> .gim-2.9-> themes" would that be
the correct folder?

Regards,

Dag

Hi,

I have just dowloaded Gimp 2.8.16 and installed it on my Windows 10 - 64 bit PC.
However, the user interface with all the icons and texts are too small for me
and it is very hard to read what is on the screen. My monitor size is 3440 X
1440. Of course I can change the size of everything on the screen by using the
Display settings in Windows 10 and set the slider to, say, 150%. But then ALL
applications and windows on the screen get bigger, even if I do not want them
to.

Is there a way to customize the size of textlabels, toobars, icons etc in the
user interface of GIMP?

Thanks!

Re: [Gimp-user] Color of fonts of context help

[Kevin Payne]

The theme can change the colours of the tooltips, BUT the GIMP Default and 
Small themes do not do this, so the colour is being set by your operating 
system/window manager.

On Windows 8.1, I can change the desktop theme and it will change the 
background colour of the tooltips (but not the text colour)

You haven't said which operating system you are using and what the desktop 
theme colours are.

Yes, I went through numerous themes without success. In fact the desktop
tooltips seem to be alright (white on black) if I can go by what it is in a
terminal window. All other programs except 'audacity' show readable tooltips. So
I get the impression the tooltip configuration is set by each program.

Script-Fu is always loaded in memory when GIMP starts. For Python scripts 
the Python interpreter must be loaded before it can run the script. The 
times it takes to load the Python interepreter would be the lag you are

Re: [Gimp-user] python-fu vs script-fu

[Kevin Payne]

As you haven't provided a link to Akkana's script, we have no way to compare if 
the scripts are even remotely similar.

My experience with writing a script in Scheme, then converting it to Python was 
that it runs considerably faster in Python, so I think it's as Ofnuts says, 
it's entirely dependent on what you are trying to do.

I don't see the difference to be about efficiency. There is noticeable
lag when executing python-fu.

E.g., when I run Akkana Peck's show_py_ui.py plugin, and compare this
with GIMP.org's test-sphere.scm script there is a big difference in
performance up to launcing the UI. I note show_py_ui.py is a smaller
file size, 3kb compared to test-sphere.scm's 6kb (12kb inc comments).

Is it just me on pre-build OSX?

If you see Script-Fu in the menus it is available. If you are trying to use

need updates. Changes within GIMP and changes in Script-Fu itself have meant 
some scripts need changes. If you provide more details about what is and

a list of characters you would use

(gimp-message (list->string '(#\H #\e #\l #\l #\o #\!)))

Characters are written as #\ followed by a the character you want, or by #\ 
and the name of a character (ie. space, or newline).


For some additional information you can look in the R5RS under section 6.3.4 
on page 28.


There is a minor error in the printing of characters that I need to fix. It 
shows them as "#\x" instead of just "#\". I also just had a thought that 
this information should be put in to some document about Script-Fu basics.

You said you found the answer then your last statement seems to indicate you 
haven't.


Apart from the previous suggestions on how to find the image ID I had 
another thought. If you are writing a script where you want to right click 
an image and run your script from the menu that will pop up you can set up 
your script so the image ID and drawable ID are automatically passed to your 
script.


In the script-fu-register block where you have the list of SF-* parameters, 
you add two lines right before any other SF-* parameters:

  SF-IMAGE   "Image"0
  SF-DRAWABLE"Drawable" 0

In the define for your script you would add "image" and "drawable" as the 
first two parameters expected by your script. You can use any variable names 
you want in place of "image" and "drawable".


If your define was
  (define (my-script-fu-script param1 param2)
you would change it to
 (define (my-script-fu-script image drawable param1 param2)

The variable name "image" will automatically be set to the ID of the image 
that you right clicked.

Re: [Gimp-user] Scheme - image ID

[Kevin Payne]

I'm puzzled what you're trying to do because it seems you're going about this 
backwards.

You would usually know the item ID because you know which image it's associated 
with, so wouldn't need to find the image that the item is associated with.

For example to get a layer-id, you'd have to know which image it's in, using: 
gimp-image-get-active-layer

Hello -
I am using GIMP 2.9.3 from Partha’s Place, on a Mac running OS X; from time to 
time I use a scheme plugin found in the gimpfx-foundry distribution 
(http://gimpfx-foundry.sourceforge.net) called "salonen-vivid-saturation.scm”.  
And, yes, I understand that gimpfx-foundry is unmaintained since ?2008? - 
however that scheme procedure has always worked well for me up to GIMP 2.8.

With GIMP 2.9 I get al alert saying that gimp-curves-spline (called from line 
63 in the .scm procedure) is obsolete, and replaced now by 
gimp-drawable-curves-spline.  The procedure however works; but I know some 
scheme and I would like to edit the .scm file in order to call 
gimp-drawable-curves-spline - but I cannot find on the Internet the synopsis 
for that new function.

The synopsis for the old one is:  gimp-curves-spline (drawable, channel, 
num_points, control_pts)

Can some kind soul tell me how gimp-drawable-curves-spline must be called?

When you profile your display you get a two-part result:

- a vcgt/LUT part that does white point correction, applied system-wide
  on login (it's often noticable when this is applied, e.g. with
  slightly colder or warmer colours all-round)

- a gamma/hue/saturation part that has to be applied by individual
  colour-managed programs

On Linux, if you have the right setup, programs can query the system for
what file contains the gamma/hue/saturation part – that's the part
that's applied by the "Try to use the system monitor profile" checkbox.
So this should work in e.g. GNOME or KDE if you've selected your profile
in your system colour management settings, but in desktops like XFCE you
have to run a separate program, or select the profile manually from GIMP
settings.

Caveat: I have no formal training in this, please read what the experts
say instead:

That's quite unlikely. As mentioned earlier, GIMP 2.8.x simply doesn't
have the plugin for loading NEF.


For loading NEF files you need the gimp-dcraw or gimp-ufraw packages 
installed. On my machine I'm using the dcraw based package.

If you want the image to appear on paper at 28mm high at 100dpi you can 
calculate the size of the image in pixels using that information.


28mm high at 100dpi works out to 110 pixels. If you are trying to scale an 
image that is over 800 pixels high you are losing a lot of information. I 
would suggest you up your dpi value to at least 300 for such a small image.

Re: [Gimp-user] Save and automatically apply a series of editing steps

[Kevin Payne]

 Yes it is possible to automate a sequence of steps, BUT it's a programmatic 
solution - you have to write scripts in Scheme, Python or maybe Perl.

At present (in 2.8.x) the support for scripts is firmly based around low 
bit-depth. I was asking if the API has been updated to incorporate the high-bit 
depth features (and all the GEGL operations), but perhaps that question (and 
the multitude of associated questions) would be better placed on the developers 
mailing list.

If I were asking this question just for myself, I'd probably assume that
figuring out "how to" is too much trouble.

However, in addition to my own interest in being able to automate
applying a series of editing steps, recently two other people have sent
me emails asking the same question.

Both of these people are new to GIMP and using my patched version GIMP
2.9 from git. They both seem to like high bit depth GIMP quite a lot.
And both of them are looking for ways to automate steps for faster
throughput when there are a lot of images to edit all at once.

I'm in a total state of confusion as to what Pat's and Kevin's answers
actually mean in practical "how to" terms, so my apologies but I'll try
asking again:

Is it possible right now for users to automate a series of editing steps
in high bit depth GIMP? If yes, is there a guide somewhere? Will the
resulting images be high bit depth images or only 8-bit images?

Best regards,
Elle

Re: [Gimp-user] Plugin for copying mouse coordinates to clipboard

As GIMP's built-in mechanism for picking points (Sample points) is completely 
unscriptable (WHY ), I'd imagine creating a new, small layer consisting of 
some crosshairs, then having the user move that layer to the desired location 
and using a script to get that location.

A completely different way of doing it, but possibly just as efficient:
use the path editor, making an anchor on each point for which you want
to export the coordinates, then use my path-csv script to export the
path (ie, all the points in one go) to a CSV file:

When it comes to printing, black ink by itself won't give you a real dark

Y-67 K-90 (from a formula on a web page). These percentages are different

Hi!  Not sure what you mean by "digital background" program.  Could you
elaborate or point to an example of what you mean?

holidays, infants, families, pin-up, school, etc.


I think Londyn2015 is looking for a program that provides images that will 
be used in the background layer and then creating other visual elements on 
top of that.

Re: [Gimp-user] Comments on GIMP

According to the current documentation,  Tcl is still available!: 
http://docs.gimp.org/2.8/en/gimp-concepts-script-fu.html

Sadly I don't think it's true, and the TkInter support didn't get included in 
the bundled Python, so we can't have the native file-open dialog and have to 
use the GTK abomination.

Can anyone tell me the best GIMP way to apply a watermark to a batch of

I would point you to the program called composite which is part of 
ImageMagic instead of using GIMP. I'm a Linux user so I can't say for 
certain if that is an option for you.

I created an animation of a fish blowing bubbles in gimp 2.8.14.  Each set of

out how to erase bubbles in previous layers


When you export (to .gif?) you need to choose the option to replace previous 
frames.

Re: [Gimp-user] What happened to old fonts?

My old computer (windows 7) crashed and when I got a new one (windows 8.1)

The fonts which ship with Windows varies from release to release. If you 
can't access the set of fonts on the hard drive from the machine that ran 
Windows 7 you will have to look somewhere else to try and find (or buy) a 
new copy of the font.


Once you have the font you just copy it to the Fonts directory under C:\Windows.
