[Gimp-user] Redo paints after creating a new layer

2008-06-10 Thread Johan Vromans
Hi,

When on vacation I often do this:

- import an image of a map (download, digital photo)
- enhance it until satisfactory
- create a new layer
- place a series of dots denoting a route

I often discover after placing a whole lot of dots that I forgot to
create the new layer first. Using undo, I go back to the pristine
state. I can then redo the history to get the dots back. However, I
cannot redo the paints anymore after creating a layer.

Is there a way to accomplish this?

Maybe you should change the workflow from painting the dots yourself to 
creating a path which can then be stroked?

Yes, I use this for other (similar) purposes.
Still, I'd like to know if it is possible to replay paint history
after a layer create.

[Gimp-user] value invert is for luminance only, or can be also other thing ?

2008-06-10 Thread Cristian Secară
In Colors menu there are two invert positions, one is Invert and other
in Value invert.

For the first invert, the floating help says Invert the colors.
For the second invert, the floatig help says Invert the brightness of
each pixel.

My first question is why are the menu names not self-explained.
Why is the first only Invert and is not Color invert ?
My second question is what other value things can be inverted other
than the luminance pixels. Why is the second Value invert and not
Luminance invert ? Whom else value ?

You can try this:

starting from the drawed image:
redo all up to have all dots drawed.
select all.
copy
paste as new image
undo up to pristine state before drawing dots but after the
enhancements.
select all (you will not be able anymore to redo)
copy

in the new image:
duplicate the layer (as this you have a backup of the dots)
hide the duplicate
add a new layer
import the pristine state into it - paste
duplicate it and hide the duplicate (you will need later)
raise the visible drawed layer to top.
set mode in the drawed layer to 
   divide if the dots are not white or black.
   else to grain extract.
flat visible layers. (drawed and pristine)
color to alpha (white if there was divide or grey if grain extract)
if grain extract select by color transparent, invert selection and fill
the dots with original color
set the duplicate of pristine layer visible and down it.



Hope this helps
Pere

[Gimp-user] set the visibility of a group of layers

2008-06-10 Thread Pere Pujal i Carabantes
Hi all!

Many times I have to set the visibility of a group of layers, for
example to test the results from a combination of them against another
combination of layers.

Is there some plugin that allows to set some groups of layers and then
change their visibility at once?

Thanks
Pere.

Thanks , that's a good work around.  Separately, I've been informed of
a Python script that can split out layers.  The only catch is that
the file name must be part of the layer name.  I suspect it would
be possible to edit the script to change that behavior.

 Just make sure to save as a .py and not a .scm file. And if you are on
 linux, the command line, as if anybody on Linux wouldn't know:
 
 $gimptool --install-bin save-layers.py
 

Thanks.  I was turned onto that script and after some digging around
figured out how to get Python scripting into Gimp on the Win XP
platform.

 My first question is why are the menu names not self-explained.
 Why is the first only Invert and is not Color invert ?

Because Invert implements the classic definition of an Invert
operation on RGB images. It's the term that people are looking for. 

 My second question is what other value things can be inverted other
 than the luminance pixels. Why is the second Value invert and not
 Luminance invert ? Whom else value ?

Value is a well-defined concept in image processing. The value of a
pixel is defined as the maximum value of its RGB channels. It one way to
define a measure for the intensity of a pixel. The Value Invert
operation performs the color inversion in the HSV space (where V is
Value), leaving Hue and Saturation untouched.

On the other hand, its sort of useful, because you can define what
file type you want the layer to be, png, jpg, gif, etc, simply by
adding it to the layer name. Technically, one is supposed to always
name layers.
