[Gimp-user] batches for web
Howdy... I finally installed David's Batch Processor (after months of trying to figure out how to do batches) but I'm surprised that I don't see an option for changing resolution. I'm simply trying to prepare images(lots of them) for the web. Did I miss something in Daves Batches? Or maybe someone has a link to something else that would work for me?

Resolution (as in dots-per-inch) is irrelevant for images used on web-pages. The only thing that counts is the number of pixels.

As we have no idea why this call fails, we have now added better error handling in this part of the code. So in the next release, there should at least be some sort of error message that will hopefully be useful when it comes to locating the root of the problem. Thanks for the clarification.

I don't know anything about Onionskin (or much about GAP either) ... I currently have a 62-frame scene that I'd like to work with. Each frame came off the scanner as a PNM image file. I've already rotated and cropped all the images, using ImageMagick and the bash shell scripting language. Is there any way of batch coverting all the PNM files to XFC files without opening each one of them and saving it to an XCF file? ImageMagick's 'convert' tool doesn't recognize XCF image files. In Gimp 2.6.1 (in Windows - I assume its the same in Linux) just open an image of the same size as your PNM files. In your Explorer equivalent in Linux select all 62 images, drag them as a group to the toolbox with the Layers dialog shown and drop. Result should be 63 layers (lowest the background) and above that the 62 PNM images named to match. Delete the lowest one. From there you can (for example) save as a GIF file with 62 frames or (I presume) do anything else you want to do with GAP-onionskin.

Basically yes. I've put it in a sub-folder of Plug-ins and then added
that folder as a separate entry in
Preferences-Folders-Plugins since with four items with nondescript
names I want to be able to figure which bits belong to which plugins.
so on my system:
D:\Data Files\Gimp-2.x_resources\plug-ins\gmic
fwiw: in D:\Data Files\Gimp-2.x_resources\ I have parallel folder
structure to what would normally be in:

folders exist but I keep empty.
D:\Program Files\GIMP-2.6\share\gimp\2.0\{brushes etc} I *never* put
anything here.
YMMV :-)

Sri for that folks... but most times I have the toolbox on my

(so afterwards just close the window...)
Actually I close that empty window and gimp will close also... ;(
ps: hopefully there will be a way to bring that back via config,
[ ] only open toolbar... or something
There is a way to do this because I have done it. Unfortunately, I
have
forgotten how but I am sure that Rolf Steinort at www.meetthegimp.org
would know the answer.
Are you talking about adding the line:
(toolbox-wilber no)
to gimprc, normally at (in Windows XP) C:\Documents and
Settings\{username}\.gimp-2.6\gimprc
This suppresses Wilbur drop-area at the top of the toolbox - not needed
because the entire icons area in the toolbox is a drop-area?
However, this does not suppress the empty-image-window.

Count tiles for a mosaic - http://registry.gimp.org/node/15080 the command pdb.gimp_message() eg. pdb.gimp_message(ufoo) shows its output in either the separate GIMP-output window if GIMP started with parameter -c or the internal Error console instead of in the expected dialog box. At Chris' suggestion I checked version of Python I had. Mine was Python 2.5 and checking http://gimp-win.sourceforge.net/faq.html#py found that GIMP 2.6 is now available as are new versions of the three sub-packages PyCairo http://ftp.gnome.org/pub/GNOME/binaries/win32/pycairo/1.4/, PyGObject http://ftp.gnome.org/pub/GNOME/binaries/win32/pygobject/2.14/ and PyGTK http://ftp.gnome.org/pub/GNOME/binaries/win32/pygtk/2.12/. These three have new versions for Python 2.6 released Jan 12, 2009 So I installed Python 2.6.6, then the three sub-packages. At first Gimp python-console was working as before (though pdb.gimp_message() continued not to display the expected dialog box). Then I noticed / remembered that GIMP has to be reinstalled after installing the Python stuff so I did that. Now I'm getting error message in Error Console as soon as I try to open python console Filters - Python-Fu - console: === GIMP Error Plug-in crashed: python-console.py (D:\Program Files\GIMP-2.0\GIMP2.6.4\lib\gimp\2.0\plug-ins\python-console.py) The dying plug-in may have messed up GIMP's internal state. You may want to save your images and restart GIMP to be on the safe side. Note I tested with previously installed GIMP 2.6.5 2.7.0 - Python-Fu still works with them (presumably still using Python 2.5) install. Note: in an attempt to correct this, I reinstalled GIMP 2.6.6 again but unchecked the python support option. It warned that python files would not be removed, requested reboot and after reboot GIMP 2.6.6 still shows Filters - Python-Fu entry. Selecting it gives error in console above. Re-installing GIMP 2.6.6 and turning Python option on again does not request reboot and attempt to run Python-Fu console still gives above error. I haven't (yet) tried uninstalling Python 2.6 PS: just before sending I noticed that the error message above is referring to GIMP2.6.4 not GIMP2.6.6 ? I've got four installs of GIMP 2.6 in: D:\Program Files\GIMP-2.0\GIMP-2.7 D:\Program Files\GIMP-2.0\GIMP2.6.3 D:\Program Files\GIMP-2.0\GIMP2.6.4 D:\Program Files\GIMP-2.0\GIMP2.6.5 D:\Program Files\GIMP-2.0\GIMP2.6.6 I checked Help-About in all four, each shows the expected version and all except GIMP2.6.6 show in the Python-Fu console the correct GIMP version and Python 2.5.2( except for GIMP 2.6.6 which gives the error message instead of displaying the Python Console): eg: GIMP 2.6.5 Python Console Python 2.5.2 (r252:60911, Feb 21 2008, 13:11:45) [MSC v.1310 32 bit (Intel)] Any suggestions as to how GIMP 2.6.6 is getting to the wrong python-console.py? http://ftp.gnome.org/pub/GNOME/binaries/win32/pygtk/2.12/ -- Regards ...

Re: [Gimp-user] Masking for Contrast Control - Can this be done in Gimp?
Saul: You said 1. Drag your original layer over to the Channels Dialog and drop it, creating a new channel. In your video, when you drag the image from the layer dock up to the channels dock your cursor has a '+' sign inside the _ |+ ... when I do it I have no plus sign and when the channels dock opens and I drop the dragged item just disappears without raising a new channel. I'm using 2.6.6 on Windows XP. I tried modifier keys Shift and Ctrl and Shift+Ctrl just in case but can't get the '+' sign to appear in the cursor and more importantly can't get the auto-creation of a new channel.

Drag your original layer over to the Channels Dialog and drop it, creating a new channel. 2. Hide the channel by clicking on its eyeball icon. 3. Return to the Layers Dialog. 4. Duplicate your original layer and increase its gamma using the Levels filter. 5. Add a layermask to the duplicate layer, initializing it to the inverted channel produced by Step 1. 6. Add a bit of Gaussian blur to the layermask (optional). 7. Adjust the opacity of the duplicate layer to obtain desired result. Step 4 is not necessary if you already have an overexposed version of the original layer (created from a HDR RAW file), as was the case in the tutorial you linked to. ___ Gimp-user mailing list Gimp-user@lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU https://lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU/mailman/listinfo/gimp-user -- Regards ...

Re: [Gimp-user] Masking for Contrast Control - Can this be done in Gimp?
Thanks Saul. (Leaving text below in case this s/b the basis for a bugreport ...) a) I can drag and drop in the Layers dialog - but never see the '+'-sign in the cursor. b) In your video (I stepped through it frame by frame so I'm pretty sure I have this correct) as soon as you grabbed the layer and moved it up to the channels icon to open the channels dialog the '+' sign appeared and (I think(?)] was visible until you dropped it below the line - below the components section - into the channels section. When I do it (again Windows XP, same in both GIMP 2.6.6 and GIMP 2.7 r28070) the '+' sign never appears while dragging in the image dialog and only appears when dragging in the channels dialog if I position my cursor to the right of where a fairly short channel name would appear - or if none yet, to the right of where it would be. (If description is 10 characters (say) background copy the + sign appears when cursor is over the 'c' in copy or further right - otherwise it is not shown). When '+' displayed drop will be successful otherwise it fails. . When I was first trying to follow your description I didn't have my cursor far enough right and first time I managed to do it had confused myself into thinking it was a matter of how close cursor was to the separator line :-( For improved discoverablity suggest that the '+' sign s/b added to drag-drop anywhere its legal to drop and in particular only be removed in the Channels dialog when cursor is over the components section but reappear when cursor is *anywhere* below the line. I *think* but not sure about this, that '+' sign should appear when cursor is over the Channels icon allowing drop there - which should automatically drop it in the same place that a new channel would be created if user keyed Shift+[New] button. can anyone confirm/refute above using Linux/Mac/Windows build? btw: Once I got the above straight your recipe worked great on the sample image. saulgo...@flashingtwelve.brickfilms.com wrote: Quoting Alec Burgess bura...@gmail.com: Saul: You said 1.

Just to be clear, after the Channels Dialog is raised (this feature thanks to Michael Natterer :) ), you must move the pointer down to the channels section of the dialog (as opposed to the components part at the top with the red, green, and blue components). The + symbol should appear when the pointer is hovered in the droppable region -- if you had some channels already there then the + would only appear when you are between channels (there would also be a horizontal line similar to what appears when dropping layers in the Layers Dialog). I'm using 2.6.6 on Windows XP. I tried modifier keys Shift and Ctrl and Shift+Ctrl just in case but can't get the '+' sign to appear in the cursor and more importantly can't get the auto-creation of a new channel. I do not use Windows so I doubt I can be of much help. You should check to see if you can drag-n-drop layers in the Layers Dialog to reorder your layerstack (instead of a + symbol, you will see an arrow because you are not copying the layer, but moving it). You should also see if, in the Channels Dialog, you can drag one of the components (red, green, or blue) down from the top and drop it in the channels list. If you have problems doing either of these then it is possibly owing to a bug in the Windows version of GIMP. ___ Gimp-user mailing list Gimp-user@lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU https://lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU/mailman/listinfo/gimp-user

Re: [Gimp-user] How to import Photoshop .pat files?
I was following along as did Akana - I found two Photoshop pattern files one alleged to contain 162 patterns, the other 109 patterns. Also found this plugin by Googling [use photoshop patterns in gimp]: http://registry.gimp.org/node/10879#comment-872 I needed the windows version noted in the comments: http://registry.gimp.org/node/11003 (by schumaml -October 30, 2008) With the EXE dropped in my plugins folder and after restarting GIMP I can now open the .PAT PS-pattern files by drag and drop from Windows Explorer. They are opened as a multiple layer file (apparently one layer per pattern). I now need to write out all layers as individual GIMP .pat files As an experiment I dragged one of the layers to a new image and did [Image-Autocrop], then [Save as ...] into the Patterns folder (actually a subfolder thereof) as testpattern.pat (it exports, requests flattening and a name) After refreshing Gimp patterns - the saved pattern *IS* available in the Patterns dialog - YIPPEE! To get them created individually it looks like [Filters-Animation-Save Layers] does the trick. If renumbering make sure to include enough ~'s to cover total number of pattern files being written and specify an extension] eg: path-to-patterns-subfolder/devart_PS_pats_~~~.pat (If insufficient ~'s in the file-spec an error is generated. This is script-fu-save-anim-layers by Saul Goode 3/11/2008 - not sure if it came-with GAP or I got it somewhere else? Ok ... this sort-of worked :-( I've now got 162 files in my sub-folder of patterns directory (each 2.0 MB) and when I do refresh in pattern dialog all these appear to be loaded. I do get an error showing in the error console: Failed to load data: Failed to open file 'D:\Data Files\Gimp-2.x_resources\patterns\Photoshop patterns - converted\ademmm.deviantart.com': Permission denied I'm not sure whether above error really matters - I got the same error on my manually created pattern described above ... However ... the patterns created don't seem to be the individual layers - they are all sized 526x1024 and contain multiple images - what you would see if you merged visible with (I think) one fewer layers visible each time.

I guess this needs a new script or tweaks to Saul Goode's script-fu-save-anim-layers but unfortunately I have zero ability in that area. Okay, done. I started with save-anim-layers, but then during the course of simplifying it to deal only with patterns I ended up rewriting pretty much the whole thing. http://shallowsky.com/software/gimp/save-pat-layers.scm works for me on Windows with both 2.6.6 and 2.7 It still registers in Animation, as Save layers as patterns. Animation isn't the right place for it but it wasn't obvious what would be better. Any thoughts? Maybe both Saul's [Save layers as ...] and your [Save layers as patterns] would be more discoverable on the layers menu? Start with the original multi-layer image and run Animation- Save layers as patterns, and it will save each of the layers to your GIMP profile patterns directory with the appropriate layer name. I've only tested it on one pattern (the animal one) but it seems to work. It does change the original image -- the layers stay autocropped, I didn't bother to try to revert them since I figure most people will just be closing that image anyway. I'll put it on the registry after I get feedback on whether it's working okay for anyone besides myself. YES I'd especially like to hear whether it works on Windows, since it builds up paths with / (which I think script-fu is supposed to translate automatically).

Re: [Gimp-user] How to import Photoshop .pat files?
Followup re Akkana's script: a minor niggle ... I had created this environment variable: GIMP2_DIRECTORY=D:\Data files\gimp-2.x_resourc...@gimp_settings_all_versions Your script is creating the patterns in that location in subfolder + patterns ie. D:\Data files\gimp-2.x_resourc...@gimp_settings_all_versions\patterns but I had not changed Preferences-File folders-Patterns to point explicitly to that location. ie the gimprc file which gets used by GIMP at startup: D:\Data files\gimp-2.x_resourc...@gimp_settings_all_versions\gimprc includes these lines: * (pattern-path D:\\Data Files\\Gimp-2.x_resources\\patterns;C:\\Documents and Settings\\Alec\\.gimp-2.6\\patterns;D:\\Program Files\\GIMP-2.0\\GIMP2.6.6\\share\\gimp\\2.0\\patterns) * (pattern-path-writable D:\\Data Files\\Gimp-2.x_resources\\patterns;C:\\Documents and Settings\\Alec\\.gimp-2.6\\patterns) The point is that in your script you concatenate /patterns to contents of GIMP2_DIRECTORY with (I think) the line (path (string-append gimp-directory /patterns/)) but in fact that location does *NOT* automatically get used by GIMP-internals to find location of patterns. Note that in the gimprc extract above (originally created by the installer I guess) it still points to: C:\\Documents and Settings\\Alec\\.gimp-2.6\\patterns which for MOST users who have not set GIMP2_DIRECTORY would be where (path (string-append gimp-directory /patterns/)) points. I'm not sure whether there is a way for script-fu to get the contents of the gimprc(?) - technically I think it ought to offer the user a chance to select in which of the authorized writable folders (or possibly in a user specified sub-folder thereof) it will create the patterns.

Just to see what the difference it would make, I drew an arbitrary path through an image and ran your script against it, copied the selected region and pasted it to a new layer ... then on the same path, using fuzzy select tool (with same parameters) with Shift key down (additive select) clicked manually along the path where by eye I detected changing colors and again copied resulting selection to a new layer ... then set difference mode to compare what had been selected by your script vs what I had selected manually. two layers were almost identical but manual took a fraction of the time. Next tried a complex path (the result of a Fuzzy Select Tool followed by selection to path). This took a **very** long time and eventually stalled - per Process Explorer GIMP was consuming 1.25 GB of memory :-( Suggestion: Would it be possible as you walk the path, to compare each pixel to prior and if they are the same to within the threshold tolerance skip that pixel and proceed to next? My theory being that if two adjacent pixels on a path are within threshold tolerance of each other then fuzzy select on either is the same as fuzzy select on both. -- Regards ...
