Re: [Gimp-user] creative ideas for blending a cropped + rotated image?
Anthony, Exactly what you want to do is not clear to me. Trying to 'fake' the missing bits of photo is, while possible, a very time consuming choice. I think you would be better off making it seem like the missing bits are intentional, as in this example: http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v449/neota/edits/press-lg-weekly_redux-ed2.png I made this by: 1. rotate appropriately. 2. apply 'value propagate', propagating opacity to the left and right only, repeatedly until no transparent pixels are left. 3. remove the streak that appears near the top of his head by a bit of painting. http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v449/neota/edits/press-lg-weekly_redux-ed3.png is another idea, made simply by a bit of strategic painting. It emphasizes the focus on the book. ___ Gimp-user mailing list Gimp-user@lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU https://lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU/mailman/listinfo/gimp-user
[Gimp-user] Creating scripts using Perl
Hi all, I am just getting myself into the writing of scripts and, as I use Perl normally, would like to use it for that purpose. I'm using GIMP on Linux (Mandriva) and have Perl already installed in my system. Thanks to all. -- Xavier Mas ___ Gimp-user mailing list Gimp-user@lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU https://lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU/mailman/listinfo/gimp-user

In Mandriva, just type urpmi gimp-perl as root , and look at /usr/lib/gimp/2.0/plug-ins for the examples that get installed.

I just had a good idea from you examples...I can tie into the UI and perhaps have a little note area below the image, that is tied into it, like a static tooltip (be it png) describing the content of the image. -- Anthony Ettinger 408-656-2473 http://anthony.ettinger.name ___ Gimp-user mailing list Gimp-user@lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU https://lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU/mailman/listinfo/gimp-user

This is the image in question...I can't crop it down to a square because I would loose the book he's holding, and that's the point of the web site: http://holocaustsurvivor.info/img/press-lg-weekly_redux.png Looking for ideas, thanks. I presume you don't mean you want to do a three dimensional rotation so the subject appears to be facing the camera, since that is clearly impossible. If you mean you just want to turn it on the page so the subject looks upright, you can do that with an appropriate rotation transformation, but you are going to get a rotated rectangle. You can crop out part of it, so the top and bottom will be horizontal and the sides vertical in its new orientation, but then it will be a hexagon instead of a rectangle. I would suggest enlarging the canvas and then cropping it as small as you can get it to include the subject's head and the book. Then clone the relevant parts of the image to fill in the corners. There won't be much problem with the background. One thing you could do is to select the figure, and then put any color you want in the inverted selection. If you are careful about what you leave in of the original figure, you ought to be able to clone in the shirt, the arms and portions of the book. If you want more than that, you will have to draw it in yourself. ___ Gimp-user mailing list Gimp-user@lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU https://lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU/mailman/listinfo/gimp-user
