[Gimp-user] Problems Installing gmic_gimp plug-in
I've just come back to the GIMP after some years absence, but thought I knew what I was doing. However -- I downloaded the gmic_gimp plugin for 64-bit Linux, and installed it (I thought) by unzipping the binary into $HOME/.gimp-2.6/plug-ins. It's there, it's a 64-bit ELF binary, etc. But the GIMP never seems to find it. So, I tried it again in the global library: /usr/lib64/gimp/2.0/plug-ins. Still no luck. It doesn't show up in the filters menu, nor does it appear in the plug-in browser. Has anyone gotten this plug-in working? System: Dual-core Athlon II, OS: Fedora Core 11 (very recent installation).

[Gimp-user] Gimp-2.2.x very slow to load image
I recently upgraded to gimp-2.2.4 (and .3 before that), just after I installed Red Hat Fedora Core 3 as my new latest-and-greatest operating system. I'm running it on an AMD K6 processor, 450 Mhz, 256MB of RAM, plenty of HD space. Whereas in gimp-2.0.x images would load promptly, I find that with 2.2.x that there is an approximately 40 second delay between the time the progress bar says the image is ready and the time it appears on the screen. I use the Gimp a lot for tweaking digital photos, usually loading the original photo and then immediately duplicating it so I don't mess up my 'negative'. (I'm sure you can guess why). But now I find that it takes 40+ seconds to load the original image (1600x1200 px, maybe a couple of hundred MB), and another 40 sec or so to duplicate it. Eeek! What's happened here? I have tried boosting the tile cache t0 160Mb and stripping the executable, but with no result. Has anyone else seen this problem, and have y'all any suggestions? Since I haven't noticed anyone else having this problem, it's probably something I'm doing (or not doing), but I don't know what it might be.

Re: [Gimp-user] Need to write script but not sure where to start.
Hi Walter - Script-fu is, as you know, a bastard dialect of Scheme, which is a Lisp variant. One of the problems in writing script-fu is finding a good reference manual for the Gimp's scheme implementation. Another is finding examples of good script-fu code. You can find the scheme documents at http://www.cs.indiana.edu/scheme-repository/imp/siod.html (Note that the GIMP doesn't have all the functions listed in this manual, but it's close enough to work). For examples of script-fu in use, look at the scripts that come with the GIMP: $PREFIX/gimp/1.2/scripts/ or $PREFIX/gimp/1.3/scripts/ where $PREFIX is the path to your gimp installation (usually /usr or /usr/local). There are several references to script-fu tutorials on the gimp.org website as well. http://www.gimp.org/scripts.html And there is also a script-fu group on yahoo: http://groups.yahoo.com/group/script-fu/ Post message: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subscribe: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Unsubscribe: [EMAIL PROTECTED] List owner: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For writing scripts yourself, I would recommend starting with gimp-1.2.5 (the current stable version), and utililzing the PDB Explorer to help you figure out what arguments each function requires.

I have downloaded and installed a number of true-type fonts, most of which work fine, as long as I run xfstt to serve them up, but a few of these fonts behave differently depending on which tool I use to view them. In particular, using GIMP-1.2.5, the text tool by itself fails to show any characters for several of my fonts, meaning I can't use them, although the Freetype tool, while still not letting me use any of the characters, will at least show them in the character grid. In GIMP-1.3.15, I have similar problems, but now that I'm running RH-9 (a Gnome-2 system), I find that Nautilus can display *all* of my fonts, at least to the point of popping up the gnome-font-viewer when I click on the font file in Nautilus.

Re: [Gimp-user] Fonts in 1.3.15
Hi Mike - Fonts aren't quite as intuitive (or maybe we're both just set in our ways) as in GIMP-1.2.x, but here's how it works: 1. Double click on the text tool in the toolbox. This will give you the tool's own dialog box, where you can set the font, the size, the color, and the alignment of the text you enter. When you click on the selector button at the right of the font name, you will get a dialog box with the six dozen liquor jugs text. There you can set the font style, if there are any variants. 2. Click in the image window. This will pop up an entry box where you can enter your desired text, also selecting left-to-right or right-to-left directionality. I think 1.3.x puts a whole lot of controls in the tools' own control panels. Once you've opened a single tool control panel, though, it will reflect the controls for whatever tool is active.

Hi Mike - Can you get the GIMP to run at all? Here's what looks odd to me in your report: 1. gimp-1.2.5 in /usr/src This looks very odd, unless that is the source tree for gimp-1.2.5. If that's the case, then cd to that directory, (/usr/src/gimp-1.2.5) and build and install the binary. You will find the instructions in a file named, oddly enough, INSTALL ;). To summarize the instructions there, you first run ./configure, to build the makefiles according to your system's capabilities; then make, to compile the program, and finally, make install, to actually put the binaries somwhere in your search path. Note that you'll probably need to be root to actually perform the install. 2. If /home/Irish is your home directory, you were on the right track in putting your script somewhere in that tree, but I think you should have put it in /home/Irish/.gimp-1.2/scripts Note the . before gimp. .gimp-1.2 is the root of your personalized gimp, and lets you add plug-ins, scripts, patterns, brushes, etc that you can use without needing root access. Anyway, try these suggestions, restart the GIMP, and you should see your script somewhere in the menus, probably under Image/Script-fu/. wherever it registered itself.

Eric wrote: Is there an easy way to select a rectangular area and then move (cut/paste) it to the same location on a different layer? When I try normal cut paste, there doesn't seem to be an obvious way to preserve the exact location. Instead of doing a cut (^X), try doing a copy (^C) on the rectangular area. Then you can create a new layer (transparent, if you like) and paste the copy into it. This will put the copy at the same coordinates as the original. Using cut as the first operation centers the resulting paste operation. Of course to remove the same rectangle from the original layer you need to recover it, which you can do with alpha-to-selection in the layer where you pasted it the first time. Is there an easy way to save each layer to separate files? Short answer - no. You only save images. Now, if you want to make only one layer visible, then you can save the image (Image/File/Save as ...), and repeat ad lib for each separate layer. A script fu to do this might be easier.

Re: [Gimp-user] making outline shape.
I have an image of a painter's palette. I have both the original color version and my grayscale reproduction. What I really want is a line drawing of the outline. Can anyone suggest a sequence of steps to arrive at this? Hi John - This counts as a Hard Problem (TM), for which there is no general solution. I can suggest a variety of tricks and tactics that I have used with varying degrees of success - ymmv. First, for some good background on this problem, try reading Chapters 3 and 4 (Selections, and Channel Masks) of Grokking the Gimp, by Cary Bunks. The book itself is available online at gimp-savvy.com, or you may download it. 1. The most general, and the most tedious, way to outline an object in an image is to use the bezier selection tool. Personally I have never liked this tool, as it's way too finicky, and I keep making selection mistakes such as editing the path when I want to simply move a point, etc. But, if you can take the time, it will outline things to any degree of detail you have the patience for. 2. Other selection tools can work nicely if there is some way to discriminate between the object you're trying to select and its immediate background. Try decomposing the original image to HSV channels, for example, and selecting using the magic wand in the Value or Hue channels, for example. 3. Or try using Image/Colors/Threshold. Sometimes this will distinguish nicely between useful parts of an image. 4. And, of course, there are the various edge-detection filters: including Laplacian, LoG, Sobel, etc. Conclusion - some features of an image are more easily extracted than others. If you're lucky, the item you want to cut differs noticeably in color from its solid background, and it's easy (more or less). If you're working with a normal photo, then no simple feature set distinguishes the target objedt from the background and you have to work a lot harder. Good luck, and good hunting! -- --Jeff Jeff Trefftzs [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.tcsn.net/trefftzsHome Page http://gug.sunsite.dk/gallery.php?artist=68 Gimp Gallery http://trefftzs.topcities.com/ Photo Gallery ___ Gimp-user mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.xcf.berkeley.edu/mailman/listinfo/gimp-user
Re: [Gimp-user] color conversion tips?
Selection by histogram is what you get with Image-Colors-Threshold. You can either do it using a copy of your original image in RGB(A) or, to get really sneaky, you can decompose your image into another colorspace (HSV, for example) and achieve the effect you want by thresholding the appropriate Hue, or Value image, then using the selection on your original image. You said you wanted to select the colors that were close to white. To do this, just use threshold on the value channel and pick up only that part of the histogram that is close to white. This will give you a bi-level image from which you can then select the white parts, using the selection on the original image and filling with white (or whatever other color you want).

Can the Windows one be used for Linux, and if so, how? If not, how do I get GIF support into the GIMP for Linux? I'd specifically like to produce images with a transparent background and animations. Please explain why you concluded that there is no GIF support. I've been running the gimp since back in the 0.99 days, and I never had any trouble importing or saving as GIF files. Did you make sure the image you were trying to save had been converted to indexed mode first? That's usually the problem if, for example, the .gif extension is grayed out. I'm currently running gimp-1.2.3 compiled from sources on a RH 7.1 system, and I don't remember ever having to do anything particular to get/keep GIF support. -- --Jeff Jeff Trefftzs [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.tcsn.net/trefftzsHome Page http://gug.sunsite.dk/gallery.php?artist=68 Gimp Gallery http://trefftzs.topcities.com/home.html Photo galleries ___ Gimp-user mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.xcf.berkeley.edu/mailman/listinfo/gimp-user
Re: [Gimp-user] Editing masks
Hi Steve - In flipping between the various tabs on the layers and channels dialog I have found it's really easy to be looking at one thing and editing another. When you want to edit a channel, make sure (a), that that channel is both visible and selected s the active channel; ditto for the layer mask, or the layer itself. You need to select the proper thing in the layers and channels dialog, and then move back to the image window to do your actual modifying with the drawing tools. You might want to make sure, too, that you aren't trying to work outside an active selection, or that you don't have preserve transparency turned on. Also, make sure that the color you're using to draw with isn't the same as the background of the channel you're trying to draw into. (/me speaks from experience).

Re: [Gimp-user] Installing additional scripts
Hi Juliet, To get at your new script-fu you need to do the following: 1. Place the text file (my-new-script-fu.scm) in your own .gimp/scripts directory. In my case, it's ~/.gimp-1.2/scripts 2. In the gimp, go to Toolbox/Xtns/Script-Fu/Refresh to force a reload of the scripts. That should do it. If problems arise, check (a) where you registered the script; (b) that there are no leftover editor backup files lying around; and (c) that your scheme code has all its proper parentheses and doesn't contain errors. I have discovered that after long edit/test sessions with a new script that things often work better if I restart the GIMP. If your script-fu is actually a perl-fu, one does it differently. Perl scripts are traditionally saved in the ~/.gimp-1.2/plug-ins directory, and to test them from your favorite text editor you need to start the gimp's perl server (Toolbox/Xtns/Perl/Server), after which you can run the perl script from the command line in your editor. I have discovered that editor backup files for perl scripts in the plug-ins directory do get loaded as plug-ins, and may (nay, probably will) mess up your debugging sessions. So make sure no old backup files are left lying around. I have also noticed problems when working with perl -- if the new plugin/script complains about something really strange like a color being bad or anything else that seems really off the wall, go into the Toolbox /Xtns/Parasite_Editor and delete the entry corresponding to the misbehaving plug-in. This happens usually when I have changed something in the interface and the parasite contains saved values from the previous version.

Re: [Gimp-user] fonts
Hi Richard - There are a number of font repositories on the web where you can get free fonts. Since they come and go with alarming frequency, your best bet is to do a search for something like free fonts and see what you get. With RH 7.2 I think you already have a true-type font server, so you can use anything you get from almost any of the free font repositories. It's also a good idea to look up the font HOW-TO, and check on the web for installation tips and tricks. I have gone through all the appropriate incantations myself and have true-type fonts working just fine on my old RH 6.1 system, but I hesitate to give you my cookbook recipe because I think it's easier on your later system.

Another way to select a limited area by color is to use the Magic Wand tool - the one that selects contiguous areas. (Next to the lasso in the toolbox). Whereas Select by color selects everything of the desired color, the magic wand selects only those pixels that are adjacent to the spot where you clicked, so it won't automatically give you multiple, discontinous selections. -- --Jeff Jeff Trefftzs [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.tcsn.net/trefftzsHome Page http://gug.sunsite.dk/gallery.php?artist=68 Gimp Gallery http://trefftzs.topcities.com/home.html Photo galleries ___ Gimp-user mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.xcf.berkeley.edu/mailman/listinfo/gimp-user
Re: [Gimp-user] effects, simple question
Hi Krasi - For your emobssed text, your best bet is to look a the tutorials at gimp.org. You can reach them easily by following the link from the GIMP Toolbox: Toolbox/Xtns/Web Browser/GIMP Tutorials In general the trick is to use your text (say white text on black background) as a bump map. One can play more complicated tricks with blurs and layer masks, but for a quick preview try this: 1. Create some white text on a black background. 2. In Layers and Channels, create a new layer, just above the text layer. 3. Fill this new layer with some medium gray. 4. Image/Filters/Map/Bump Map... Use the text layer as the bump map. Play with the parameters to the Bump Map plugin - you can invert it, or use linear, sinusoidal, or spherical mapping, etc. Your second question: How to make an image lighter in the center and darker at the edges: one easy way to do this is to place a new layer over your original image, fill the new layer with a radial gradient running from light (in the center) to dark (at the edges), and set the layer mode to SCREEN. To make the effect even more apparent, duplicate the gradient layer and set the top copy to MULTIPLY mode. Which leads into your third question: how to make a layer partially visible. Open up the layers and channels dialog and set the transparency for the selected layer to whatever you want. A lot of this is explained in both the GIMP User Manual and Grokking the Gimp, both available on line from the Toolbox/Xtns/Web Browser menus. I strongly recommend you look at these references. I have both books installed on my system and use them heavily.

Re: [Gimp-user] adjusting line types
Hi Lisa - It sounds like you're running into the difference between a vector graphics and a bitmap operation. Postscript defines vectors, and thus can scale nicely, while the Gimp works on bitmaps. Which means that information like line type (e.g., dashed, dotted, etc.) isn't available to the Gimp. Perhaps you should try importing the postscript into something like Sketch, or another of the free vector editors. Maybe even xfig? I haven't tried this, and it may or may not work.

Re: [Gimp-user] changing background colours
To change the background color in a gif so you don't wipe out the text there are a couple of ways to go. But first, change the image to RGB instead of indexed. You'll be able to change it back later. 1. If the text is all one color (not found elsewhere), try selecting by color and grabbing the text. Then invert the selection (which should give you everythi8ng except the text). You can then fill/blend/pattern/whatever the selection without affecting the text. 2. Conversely, if the text is varying colors and the background is one color, try selecting just the bg color. Then fill ad lib. 3. If your computer has the same font that the text is in, you can rebuild the image from scratch using the text tool, or the dynatext filter. 4. Or you can try playing with Image/Colors/Threshold and see if you can separate the text from the bg this way, then procedd to color as desired. And if you want to save the resulting image as a gif, the save dialog will walk you through the necessary steps.
