Ofnuts is correct that the problem is with the nested double quotes. The 
inner ones that are before and after the file name need to be escaped.


gimp -i -b "(file-jpeg-load RUN-NONINTERACTIVE \"/home/user/ev.jpg\"

Re: [Gimp-user] Question about scripting

[Ofnuts via gimp-user-list]

Ok, so some "clever" reformatting of my answer happened, so let's try
again. If this is still garbled, here is a screenshot of what I mean:
https://imgur.com/vBKHf1g

A problem you have is the multiple layers looking at your double quotes:
the shell interpreter that calls Gimp, and
the script-fu interpreter. Quotes are processed and not seen by Gimp and
script-fu.

Since you are on a Unix shell, try this:

    printf "%s\n" gimp -i -b "(file-jpeg-load RUN-NONINTERACTIVE
"/home/user/ev.jpg" "/home/user/ev.jpg")" -b "(gimp-quit 0)"

This will print a line per "token" passed to the actual command:

    * gimp
    * -i
    * -b
    * (file-jpeg-load RUN-NONINTERACTIVE /home/user/ev.jpg
/home/user/ev.jpg)
    * -b
    * (gimp-quit 0)

As you can see, the quotes around the file names have been removed. You
have to either escape them:

    printf "%s\n" gimp -i -b "(file-jpeg-load RUN-NONINTERACTIVE
\"/home/user/ev.jpg\" \"/home/user/ev.jpg\")" -b "(gimp-quit 0)"

    * gimp
    * -i
    * -b
    * (file-jpeg-load RUN-NONINTERACTIVE "/home/user/ev.jpg"
"/home/user/ev.jpg")
    * -b
    * (gimp-quit 0)

Or use outer single quotes (but this makes variable substitution in the
shell a bit contrived:

    printf "%s\n" gimp -i -b '(file-jpeg-load RUN-NONINTERACTIVE
"/home/user/ev.jpg" "/home/user/ev.jpg")' -b '(gimp-quit 0)'

    * gimp
    * -i
    * -b
    * (file-jpeg-load RUN-NONINTERACTIVE "/home/user/ev.jpg"
"/home/user/ev.jpg")
    * -b
    * (gimp-quit 0)

Or, if script-fu supports it (that's what I do for pythin-fu), outer
double qoutes and inner single quotes for the scrpit-fu strings

    printf "%s\n" gimp -i -b "(file-jpeg-load RUN-NONINTERACTIVE
'/home/user/ev.jpg' '/home/user/ev.jpg')" -b "(gimp-quit 0)"

    * gimp
    * -i
    * -b
    * (file-jpeg-load RUN-NONINTERACTIVE '/home/user/ev.jpg'
'/home/user/ev.jpg')
    * -b
    * (gimp-quit 0)

Re: [Gimp-user] Question about scripting

[Jean-Pierre HOARAU]

Thank you very much for the link. It is very useful. But my problem is not
bash but the parameters to give in command line to run gimp procedures. I
don't understand very well what I must give for args in a gimp procedure.
This is why I asked for an example with a file-jpeg-load or file-jpeg-save
procedure. I get some error messages that I don't understand. So my
question remains, what are parameters to give to these procedures? Could
someone write me this command line? So I will have an example that I can't
find on the net. Thank you.

[Gimp-user] Question on Outlines

[Ryan Williamson via gimp-user-list]

Hey guys, was wondering if anyone can help me with an outline question.
I've used gimp for over a year or so now, more so the last few months.
Everything works great, but I was wondering, is there a way to change the
outline you create of your images so that way it matches more image?
Currently I've noticed that whether the logo is more rounded off, or having
sharp edges, it always makes the outline rounded off regardless. Is there a
way to change that so it's not always rounded off?

You can so the same with a gradient on the Quickmask. But then t gets
pretty close to using a layer mask


But the layer mask way is better because you can go back and change it.

[Gimp-user] Question to the Gradient tool

[Sascha Zosgornik via gimp-user-list]

Hello Gimp fellows,
a few days ago I was working on an simple image of just two layers. I
wanted an overblend effect so one layer fades into the other.
I thought the gradient tool would be the perfect solution for this
task but all I did found was the "FG to Transparent" gradient.
Is there any way to do this quickly without going the long way of
creating a layer mask?
Best wishes,Sascha Zosgornik

[Gimp-user] question about resolution

[Sharon Hudson via gimp-user-list]

Hello.  I created files in Microsoft Word, then loaded them up to GIMP to
get a 300  print size resolution.  It seems to hold for most, but when I
did spot checking some of the files I had changed to 300, changed back to
119 when I put them back in GIMP.  Why is this?

If I save a file at 300, then upload it into a drawing mechanism, can the
file change back to 300?

Thanks,

Sharon

[Gimp-user] question re. color handling

[dep]

greetings, everyone . . .

since the release of gimp 2.10, i've dealt with an issue whenever i open a 
file -- it asks me whether i wish to preserve the existing srgb or to 
convert to gimp's -- even when the image was previously saved in gimp's 
profile. if in fact i allow it to convert, the result is about a whole 
stop darker when it is saved, and darker still in thumbnails (gthumb, 
geeqie). this is a little bit alarming, and i'm not sure what is best to 
do. surely it serves some function or else it wouldn't be part of the 
program, but making pictures unusably dark probably isn't what they had in 
mind.

so would someone be so good as to talk me through the rationale here such 
that i might intelligently deal with it?

thanks!

[Gimp-user] Question about displayed values on Histogram window

[北嶋 凌]

Hello.
I use GIMP ver.2.10.10.0 on Windows 7.

I have a question about Histogram window.
(Windows > Dockable Dialogs > Histogram)

There are "Mean","Std dev", "Median" values displayed,
but the values are between 0 and 1.
As far as I can remember, they used to be between 0 and 255.

e.g.
expect value:Red=0, Green=160,   Blue=233
displayed value: Red=0, Green=0.627, Blue=0.914

Is this because specification has changed, 
or because I have changed some settings?

If this can be fixed by the settings, would you tell me how to set?

Best regards,

[Gimp-user] Question: printing metadata TITLE / CAPTION under the image as attached photos

[Gunnar - Swede]

Hi,

I am looking for a photo editor, that can help me *creating digitized
photos with documentation.*

Descriptive text on old, digitized photos, shown below the photo.
I'm currently working with old photos, which I want to document in a
good way.

1. I want to be able to enter a caption, to be displayed together with
 the image, and stored in metadata, see attached image.
2. I want to be able to create many searchable tags.

Will GIMP do it for me ??

The attached photos show what I mean, print metadata TITLE/CAPTION etc,
is that possible.??

Regards

"Gunnar - Swede"

Thanks for the sample.  The 'Humor Sans' text appeared, just as you
described.

Thanks to everyone for the responses!   What I'll do is send her the XCF
file I have now, so she can experiment with moving some parts of the
image around AND I'll help her get the fonts used installed so she can
make actual text changes.

Peace...

Yes, because the text is rendered to a bitmap. In the XCF linked below, 
the text is in "Humor Sans".
Check that this font isn't installed on your system, and open the XCF.

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 
samples you should create an image, or PDF file, using the fonts.

The fonts aren't embedded in the XCF. That won't prevent your friend to

Aha!

I see a black text layer, and under that, the same text layer in white
(light gray actually), and under that, a thin but normal "shadow" layer
made as described in my previous post, with the lower two layers offset
to produce the effect.

See attached:  A low resolution approximation of the same drop shadow
effect.  If you have the original font, this example and my post re
making drop shadows by hand should be all you need to get as close to
"exact" as you need.

As this is a "logo" I suggest making a large high resolution "master"
that can be used in lots of applications (after scaling and tweaking).
Ideally it might be duplicated in Inkscape or another vector edior;
then, it could be scaled to any size and exported in any common image
format as required, quickly and easily.

Hi Amber,

Your logo looks like it has three layers:
- Text Black, sharp.
- Shadow 1 light light grey, blurred
- Shadow 2 dark grey on the bottom, blurred more.

I attach a GIMP file with layers. Adjust everything to suit your purposes.

Hey Rick!

 

Sorry for the confusion! I guess I was a bit vague in my initial inquiry. I was 
just hoping there was a way to find one drop shadow’s settings to apply them to 
another drop shadow that I was unaware of. It's the drop shadow on 'The 
Musician' - I need to change that title to 'The Artist,' but unlike Photoshop, 
it doesn't just adjust the drop shadow when you edit text since the drop shadow 
is a layer in itself. If you have any idea how I can recreate this drop shadow, 
I would GREATLY appreciate your help!

 

Thanks!

Hello!

 

I'm new to using GIMP and am trying to edit the work of the person in my 
position previous to me. She used a drop shadow on the title of the page "The 
Musician," but the title is being changed to "The Artist." This isn't your 
normal drop shadow, so I'm not sure how she created it! My question is - is 
there a way to recreate a drop shadow using existing settings? And where can I 
find the settings for the initial drop shadow to duplicate it on "The Artist"? 
In Photoshop, this wouldn't be an issue for me at all, but this particular 
document was created using GIMP, which I'm not very familiar with, so I would 
appreciate any suggestions or assistance!

 

Thanks so much!

Re: [Gimp-user] Question About Recreating a Drop Shadow

[Rick Kline]

Kevin,

I took a close look at the file, and the drop shadow has a 4 pixel wide cutout 
in it. A bit non-standard. I was able to recreate the appearance of the 
original text/drop shadow with the following workflow:

Make a copy of the file. Work with the copy.

1. Select your text layer, edit text to say “THEARTIST” (this is the step I 
can’t easily do without knowing what the font is)
2. Filters menu, Light and Shadow >, Drop Shadow…   (creates a new, 
editable Drop Shadow layer)
Offset x = 8
Offset y = 8
Blur radius = 15
Color = Black
Opacity = 60
Note: I zoomed way in to determine that the blank area in the drop shadow is 4 
pixels, so:
2a. Make sure the text layer is still selected.
3. Choose the Fuzzy Select (magic wand) tool
Hold Shift and click on each letter in turn until all are selected
4. Select menu, Grow, Grow selection by: 2 px
5. Move tool
Click in selected area
alt (or option) right arrow twice (should move selection two pixels to 
the right
alt (or option) down arrow twice (should move selection two pixels down
6. Select new drop shadow layer
7. Edit menu, Cut (or CTRL (or command) x)
8. Select menu, None
9. Turn off old Drop Shadow layer

That should do it.

With your text layer selected, do Filters > Light and shadow > Drop
shadow.  Tweak the settings, try it, undo, adjust again, etc. until you
get what you are after or determine that this filter won't do it.

You might also want to try some of the effects at Filters > Alpha to
logo.  Note that the results come out as layers, and you can remove,
change opacity, or otherwise edit the individual layers to tweak the
result.  If the strange drop shadow was originally made with one of
these scripts, you should be able to get an exact duplicate without too
much trial and error.

An "abnormal" drop shadow may or may not be reproducible with a filter
or script; but it's not hard to do these things by hand.

Basic drop shadow:

* Create your text with the Text tool; size and position it as required.
 Note that you can alter letter spacing, line spacing, alignment inside
the text box (left, center, right or justified) with a tool in the Tool
Options dock when the Text tool is active and a text layer is selected.

* In the Layers dock, make a copy of your text layer.  Change the color
of the original (lower) text layer to black by drag-and-drop from the
color tool while that layer is selected.  Or, use the shadow color of
your choice.

* Next, with the lower (shadow) layer selected, right click that layer's
icon in the Layers dialog and do "Discard text information."  It is now
a normal image layer that you can do awful things to.

* Still with the shadow layer selected in the Layers dialog, turn on the
Move tool, click on the image canvas window to make it active, and use
your keyboard arrow keys to offset the shadow layer from the text layer,
positioning it to function as a drop shadow.

* Do Filters > Blur > Gaussian Blur to give your shadow a soft edge.
Play with different blur values, move the layer around a bit, etc. until
it starts to look right (Ctrl+z is your friend - instant easy undo).
You may also want to adjust the shadow layer's opacity via the slider at
the top of the Layers dock.

I don't know what's unusual about the drop shadow you are duplicating,
but variations on the method presented above should allow you to
duplicate most anything that can be called a drop shadow.

Verily:  If we could see the original you are trying to duplicate, the
method used might be obvious.  Or at least a way to do the same thing
should not be hard for the gang here to come up with.

Re: [Gimp-user] Question About Recreating a Drop Shadow

[Rick Kline]

Ah, there we go.

Besides the wood background, it looks like three layers to me: The black text 
front layer, a light drop shadow the average color of the wood, and a darker 
drop shadow behind that.

Do you have a layered copy of the image? i.e. the original GIMP FILE? I (or 
someone else) could probably edit the file and get it back to you reasonably 
quickly.

I highly recommend making a copy of the file, and work on the copy. If there’s 
only one drop shadow(s) layer behind the text, try turning off the text by 
clicking the eye next to its layer thumbnail, and see if the shadow is, indeed, 
two shadows. If so, and you have AT LEAST the editable text layer and the wood 
background, then I’d suggest making two copies of the text layer, and move them 
to slightly right and down, with the lowest layer moved the farthest, to 
recreate the spacing of the original shadow(s). Then use the eyedropper tool to 
select the light grey for the middle text layer and change the text to that 
color, and do the same for the bottom layer, using the darker grey.  That 
should get you pretty close. May want to apply some blur to the shadow layers, 
but that’s up to you.

Anyhoo, that would be my initial approach, given a file with at least the wood 
and text layers.

Once you’re happy with the result using “THE MUSICIAN” you can easily edit the 
text layers to become “THE ARTIST” and you should be good to go.

Hope that helps.  If you want to shoot me the layered GIMP file, or a link to 
it, I’d be glad to give it a shot, or at least take a look at the layers to see 
what you have going on.

this particular document was created using GIMP


GIMP includes a filter to add drop shadow to an item. There are (or were) 
some filters let you create text with a drop shadow.


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

Re: [Gimp-user] Question About Recreating a Drop Shadow

Hey Rick!



Sorry for the confusion! I guess I was a bit vague in my initial inquiry. I was 
just hoping there was a way to find one drop shadow's settings to apply them to 
another drop shadow that I was unaware of. It's the drop shadow on 'The 
Musician' - I need to change that title to 'The Artist,' but unlike Photoshop, 
it doesn't just adjust the drop shadow when you edit text since the drop shadow 
is a layer in itself. If you have any idea how I can recreate this drop shadow, 
I would GREATLY appreciate your help!

[Gimp-user] Question Regarding Transparent Layers

[Experimentalist]

Thanks Rich!  

This helps because yesterday was the first day I used GIMP.  I normally do
things in PhotoShop  but when someone doesn't have PhotoShop, I direct them to
GIMP.

So I know virtually nothing about using it.

It's good for me to learn as much as I can.  I find your response extremely
helpful.

Cheers!

However, that bit is not correct. Which tool is active? Gimp does not have a
neutral tool, there is always one in use, although some such as the measure tool
are harmless.

Assuming a straight copy - paste, either via  menu or ctrl-c, ctrl-v, there is a
Floating Selection, to remove the 'crawling ants' anchor that. Layer -> Anchor
Layer, ctrl-h, or the layer dock. see: attachment. While it is still 'floating'
it can be moved with the move tool.

A better way is copy, then paste-as-a-new-layer, Edit -> Paste-as -> New Layer.
Initially top left corner of the canvas, use the move tool any-time to move into
position. see: attachment Make sure you click on a solid part of layer or enable
move active layer.

Thanks to both you, Simon, and Rick Strong for your comments.  I opted
to "roll the bones" with the RGB PNG I created, using the VistaPrint
template, and the site seemed happy with the resolution of the image.
The previews on the site looked good so I'm keeping my fingers crossed
that the image prints well.

Thanks again!

I don’t know.
But RGB2CMYK is a hell of a lot easier to use and for that reason it will 
probably work better. Just upload your file and it’s done.

I’m a graphic designer/photographer not a geek (not any more, anyway). I like 
things that work right out of the box and this online conversion worked for me.

There is only one frame rate in animated GIFs. When you need different
speeds for different parts of an animation, you need to double/triple
and so on the "slow" frames, while animating the fast parts in it.

Basically, do this:

frame 0: wings up   - eyes open
frame 1: wings up   - eyes closed
frame 2: wings down - eyes open
frame 3: wings down - eyes closed
loop

Again, I recommend ImageMagick to do that duplication and animation work
for you, see this example:

http://www.imagemagick.org/Usage/anim_mods/#composite

It first creates a coalesced_k.gif (a full frame/non-optimizied gif),
then makes a shadows_k.gif from the original one -only for demonstration
purposes, could be any "background" animation, e.g. your winged dragon-,
then compose that background animation with the original coalesced_k.gif
to compose_shadow.gif.

(gif_anim_montage is just a script which created the strip at the bottom
of the tutorial step)

You are done!

Okay, if you want to do that wing flapping at a slower speed, you first
had to double each frame within the gif. That's a bit trickier:

http://www.imagemagick.org/discourse-server/viewtopic.php?p=50325#p41868

Hope that helps.

[Gimp-user] Question about the meanings of the numbers in a color gradient

[Dora Smith]

I've almost got it figured out.

GIMP Gradient
Name: Dora Gay flag
6
0.00 0.08 0.17 1.00 0.315000 0.315000 1.00 1.00 
0.315000 0.315000 1.00 0 0 0 0
0.17 0.25 0.33 1.00 0.501961 0.00 1.00 1.00 
0.501961 0.00 1.00 0 0 0 0
0.33 0.416667 0.50 1.00 1.00 0.00 1.00 1.00 
1.00 0.00 1.00 0 0 0 0
0.50 0.58 0.67 0.00 0.474510 0.250980 1.00 0.00 
0.474510 0.250980 1.00 0 0 0 0
0.67 0.75 0.83 0.250980 0.250980 1.00 1.00 0.250980

0.83 0.916667 1.00 0.627451 0.00 0.752941 1.00 0.627451 
0.00 0.752941 1.00 0 0 0 0


Third row is how many segments.  If an example has 2 segments it is 2; if an 
example has 18 segments it is 18.   This one has 6 segments so it is 6.


First three columns are left point, right (end point), and point where the 
gradient changes - and if the blended colors are close where it is doesn't 
matter.
Next are the left color in RGB decimal.  Following is a number that I don't 
know what it represents, and probably it is maximum at 1.00.
Following is the rgb code for the right color, then the number that I don't 
know what it means.
Following that are four 0's I understand noone knows what they mean but 
leave them alone.


Now, I can't get the gradient editor to work, but I did get it and the 
foreground color picker to help me select numbers.


There are two numbered scales, such that the maximum is 100.   One is 
blackness, V, and it controls how dark the color is.
The other is the saturation; it controls how intense my color is.   It goes 
from 0 to 100.


Somehow at one point I got the opacity slider to display; not sure how I 
managed it, but it controlled the opacity number and nothing else.


Now, in the gradient editor, I get the position at wherever my mouse is at, 
the rgb color, HSV, and luminance and opacity.

HSV is 0.0  some number between 1 and 100 100.0
Luminance is some number between 0 and 100.

It seems that everything changes together, except opacity and blackness, 
which change separately.


If I carefully keep the black control all the way down and change the 
saturation, both the luminance and the middle number in HSV change.


I don't see anything that goes from 0 to 1.000 that affects luminosity, 
saturation, or anything that controls how light or intense the color is.


So say I want RGB color 1.0, .307, .307, with the middle HSV number 69.4, 
and luminance 45.1; and in the foreground color picker this is Hue 0, 
saturation 85, V=100 (0 blackness), RGB = 255 38 38, and the HTML notation 
is ff2626.What number do I want to put after the RGB colors where 1.000 
is now?


Feel free to point me to anything that explains it that is written in 
English and won't take more than fifteen minutes for someone who got this 
far  to figure out, and also if there is a chart or, better, tool somewhere 
that will just tell me what numbers to use for the colors and saturation I 
want.


If I wanted to change the opacity, would that be changed IN the gradient, or 
would it be changed with how one applies the gradient?


Thanks!

Yours,
Dora Smith

I'm pretty confident it's perfect.


The color of the left and right end point of the red stripe are slightly
different - is this intended?

Overall, the colors you have used are different to the HTML notation
used on the Wikipedia page - it uses color keywords. They are also
different to the colors of the six-color flag shown there.

I'm not sure if exact matches matter, but still would be curious how you
did get the colors you've used.


Adding that flag gradient:

If we add the flag gradient for the symbol it represents, we might want
to consider to add gradients for a few other flags from the gallery

In regard to including gradients at all:

It is supposed to switch back once you let got of the button. Also, the

Maybe this behaves differently on OSX. This would be interesting to know.

current selection - which is what I always want it to be.  But lots of times, 
the Mode switches on me to Subtract From Current Selection.  Yikes!  I did 
not want this!  It seems to do this on it's own when you have a selection and 
you press the Command button (on a Mac).  Why does it do this?  What is the 
keyboard short cut to get it back to Replace Current Selection?  I cannot 
figure this out.

Thanks!

Re: [Gimp-user] Question about golden-spiral-0.0.py script

[Dave Thibault]

OK, it works now. It was a combination of both not being executable AND
having it in the scripts folder instead of the plug-ins folder.  I had
tried both folders but before it was suggested to make them executable.

Thanks, all!

 The plugin should be made executable, in one of the plugins directories
 (check EditPreferencesFoldersPlugins to see where they are).

 It should be at the bottom of the Select menu of any image window, and
 appear in the plugin and procedure browsers (but you have already checked
 this). You can try to start Gimp from a terminal (if this can be done on
 OSX). If the plugin doesn't register you will likely see an error message
 in the terminal window. A frequent cause of problem is editing the plugin,
 and unknowingly altering the indentation. This causes Python syntax errors
 that make the registration fail (in case of doubt, download a fresh
 version).

I am sure ofnuts will be along soon

but on a more general basis, applicable for any plug-in.

Have you made the plug-in executable?

After a Gimp restart, does it show in Help - Plugin Browser (enter golden in
the search box)

If it is not there then it is wrong-place/not-working

Working and that tells me it is in the selection menu.

And indeed it is there and works here PCLinuxOS and Gimp 2.8.14

Rich,

Thanks for the reply.

I have made the plugin executable.  After GIMP restart, I can't find it in
Plugin Browser. If I search for golden all I find is the Golden Rule
Guide that I also installed and it is showing up in GIMP and working
properly.  I don't see the golden spiral at all by searching in the plugin
browser.

That does lead to a different question, though.  Should this be in the
scripts folder or the plugins folder?

Thanks,
Dave

Author: Michael Natterer mi...@gimp.org

Bug 707354 - Bump Map offsets only go to 1000 regardless of image
size

Allow ranges from -1 to 1, still arbitrary but more
real-world. The scales still go -1000 to 1000, but the spinbuttons
allow for the full range.

Judy,

Thanks for all your efforts to support The Movement.  :-)

I can't answer the question you are asking, however, I use a perl script 
that invokes ImageMagick to add watermarks to large quantities of images.


http://www.imagemagick.org

Since I do put my watermark in the upper left corner, I have not paid 
attention to whether ImageMagick can apply the watermark based on the 
position from the lower right corner, but I would guess that it can.


And if the answer to that is no, there is another trick you could try, 
especially if you are using a script to batch process.  First, make your 
watermark image upside down and backwards.  Then rotate each image 180 
degrees, apply the watermark, flatten the image, and rotate it back to 
upright.


Last note: When I batch process to apply watermarks, I always only apply 
to _copies_ of the images as invariably I later need the original 
without watermark for some other use.  (This also prevents destroying 
the original if your batch script does not do as expected.)

I can't address the bump map issue, but I've attached a script I
recently wrote to add a watermark to an image in the lower right corner.  
I'm sure others have done similar things long ago but I've found it 
useful; it can be used in batch mode or via the ui.  Just stick it in 
your .gimp-2.8/scripts folder.  It will appear under garya on the main 
menu bar; you probably will want to change that label :-) and the
default watermark file name/location.

 My question: I would like to put a watermark of my logo on images,
 and I can do so with the Map, Bump Map Filter. However, the location
 of the bump map is a problem. At 0 on the X and Y Offset sliders, it
 goes into the upper left hand corner. OK. The problem is the sliders
 only move to -1000, and my images are often larger than that, and I
 want to put the bump map into the lower right hand corner, and the
 sliders will not allow that. Typing in the numbers doesn't work, and
 moving the bump map in the preview with the middle mouse button
 doesn't work. Of course if I make the images smaller I can get it
 into the right hand lower corner, but I want to use the larger image.
 Any solution for this, or do I have to just live with this ...
 defect(?) for now. Thank you!

I can't address the bump map issue, but I've attached a script I
recently wrote to add a watermark to an image in the lower right corner.  
I'm sure others have done similar things long ago but I've found it 
useful; it can be used in batch mode or via the ui.  Just stick it in 
your .gimp-2.8/scripts folder.  It will appear under garya on the main

default watermark file name/location.

Not sure what you really want to do.

1. There is no Scramble Menu item in gimp

2. Images can be scrambled/descrambled with ImageMagick
   (convert with the encipher/decipher options)

3. There are other scramblers around, but none as a plug-in for gimp
afaict.

Hey Kathleen,

There's so many ways... What to do depends on what you want the
output to look like, and the scale of recognizable elements you
want to make unrecognizable.  Things to play with include:

Filters  G'Mic  Arrays and Frames  (various array effects)

Filters  G'Mic  Deformations  (various deformation effects)

Filters  Map  Resynthesize

Filters  Artistic  Glass Tile (and others)

Filters  Distorts  Mosaic (and others)

And more.  Explore, play around.

Thanks for the reply.  Well, you were right about the text layer
change.  When I look at my XCF file, the text layers have names like
New Layer instead of the actual text in the layer.  Plus, I see a
thumbnail of the text layer instead of the stock icon you mention.  I
most likely made the text layer the same size as the image and then
saved the file.

Thanks!

Okay, question - if you can make tool edits to a text layer (filters, 
brushstrokes, etc.) and it will retain its status as a text layer (albeit with 
some modifications, which GIMP will warn you about if you try to edit the text 
later), why do other operations (like changing layer size) turn it into a 
normal (non-text) layer?

 To be clear, see the enclosed image. The slider with the word Threshold
 on it is an example.
 
 Hovering the mouse pointer in the upper half, e.g. over the word
 Threshold, changes the mouse pointer to an upwards pointing arrow;
 clicking in the bar when the mouse pointer displays the upwards arrow
 will set the amount directly: clicking on the left of the top-half of
 the bar will set Threshold to 0, clicking on the right (over the 81.5 in
 this example) sets it to around the maximum of 255, clicking in the
 middle (e.g.just under the g of sample merged) sets it to about
 half, or 127. Dragging in this mode will drag the edge of the shaded bar
 directly.
 
 When the mouse pointer is in the lower half of the bar, e.g. in the
 shaded area under the word Threshold, the mouse pointer is shown with a
 cursor made of a horizontal arrow pointing both left and right. In this
 mode, dragging in the bottom half of the area will select the number
 (81.5 in the image I attached to this message) and the number will
 change as you drag.
 
 In addition, there are two small arrows to the right of the number, and
 clicking on those will increase or reduce the number shown. But those
 are not the arrows being discussed in this thread :-)

I would have expected the mouse wheel to act the same but it increments/
decrements at 1% intervals in both areas, upper/lower.

The behavior I am seeing under freebsd is as follows:

In the upper half, I get the up-arrow mouse pointer.  Pressing and dragging 
that up-arrow mouse pointer changes the value in gross, non-integral increments.
When moved from the extreme left to the extreme right, the range covered is
large -- If I have the paintbrush tool options up, the size ranges from 1.00
at the extreme left to 1074.55 at the extreme right, although it may be dragged
clear across the screen to get much larger values (9491.50 at my right screen
limit in this case.  Hmmm...  If I test the fuzzy select tool as in your image, 
it goes from 0.0 at the extreme left to 255.0 at the extreme right, where it is 
clamped at that maximum value -- dragging further across the display causes no 
further increase.  

In the lower half, I get the left-right mouse pointer.  Pressing and dragging
that left-right mouse pointer changes the value in small, non-integral 
increments.
Depending on what the current value is, the possible range varies.  If I type
in the value 500 to set the value, then grab at the approximate location of the
vertical dividing line between the grey and white areas, I get a range of approx
448.56 to 564.11, but if dragged clear across the display it will go up to
approx 1400.

So two thoughts:

1.  Should the integral behavior I am seeing with the up-arrow on the threshold
for fuzzy select be going by tenths, or by whole integers?

2.  It looks like the bug may be tool-related.

Neither, it depends on the width of the toolbox.

It should go up or down by
   distance you drag as a percentage of the max value, times max value
E.g. when the up arrow is one third the way along from the left of the
scrollbar-thingy, clicking (or dragging at that point, it's the same)
gives you one third of the maximum value.

So, it's supposed to work as it does, I think.

What exactly are you saying is a bug? I'm not saying GIMP is
bug-free :-) just trying to see if in fact it's a problem with how to
use these controls not being obvious, or whether your gimp is behaving
different from mine, or whether all the gimps in the world are
misbehaving (always a possibility, especially near a full moon).

Thanks,

Liam
