[Gimp-user] Automatically save curves file
Howdy, I really want Gimp to automatically save the curves file when I adjust color on an image. Can this be done with Python? Thanks, Kent ___ Gimp-user mailing list Gimp-user@lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU https://lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU/mailman/listinfo/gimp-user

Can this be done with Python? No, Plug-ins don't get access to tool dialogs. The best you could do currently is to save the curves to a predefined filename, for example 'last', and then run a plugin which renames 'last' to match the current image filename. That kind of plugin could be implemented with Python. How about some kind of pyGnome script which clicked the 'Save' button, entered a file name and saved it? Maybe started by a hotkey, if it couldn't hook into the 'OK' button on the dialog. I don't need elegant, I just want to be able to chug through a bunch of color tweaks and be able to duplicate them later, without adding steps to the editing.

(c = screeching halt) Thanks, Kent that allow loading and saving of curves and levels through the PDB. Sounds like a useful addition.

I mean that I do not want to make any changes to the image as it came from the camera/scanner, as doing so would lose data. The output image, for example a .jpg, cannot be opened, edited and saved, as that introduces unnecessary compression degradation. That's why I call it immutable, to change it I should re-edit the 'master' it came from, edit and compress that file. Also, I would caution that in GIMP parlance, the term resize generally refers to changing the canvas size of the image (without affecting the pixel data in any way). The term scaling is used to describe actually changing the size of image contents. Miscommunication could arise if this convention is not recognized. Thanks for the clarification. I am not aware of a Procedural DataBase function that permits automatic saving of curves or levels. There is support (via some GAP plugins) I will look for 'GAP' plugins. for the loading and application of such files. The files themselves are simple affairs and there should be little difficulty in writing functions to save them. (Also, the curves and levels can be saved from their corresponding Layers-Colors... dialog boxes.) Right, I'd like to automate the process. I am not familiar with Python-fu but all that you described is easily handled by Script-fu and there is little reason to doubt that it cannot be accomplished with Python. The PDB is language agnostic and I think it is fair to say that Script-fu is the least capable of the available scripting languages. I take that to mean that the scripting space has access to - when an image is edited via levels/curves - what adjustment values resulted from the edits If that is true, then it sounds feasible.

[Gimp-user] Question about scripting
Howdy, I am interested in implementing a workflow capability to Gimp based on the following principles; - the original file is immutable. (any edits of it lose information) - the destination file is immutable. (assuming that lossy compression is used, (usually the case)) This implies that that handling digital images should involve 'recipes' or 'routes' which describe how to create a destination image from a source. A destination image is associated with data which defined the source image, and editing parameters which resulted in this image. Now, if when 'resize' the destination image, I create a new destination image from the source, applying the same color, cropping, and sharpening transforms, resampling to a different size. A good start in this direction would be if I could automatically save curves and levels files when applying these edits. I could then script associating the color transforms with the image. Questions: Is it possible to script this capability? (automatically saving the curves and levels files, under names which indicates which image they are associated with) Could it be scripted with Python-fu?

[Gimp-user] Macros, automation
Howdy, 90% of my automation needs would be met if I could apply a curve file to a batch of images. Unfortunately I don't have Script-Fu. Could someone point me to a snippet which would do this in command line mode?
