Re: [Gimp-user] How to input multiple lines of text onto seperate photos

[Rick Strong]

Yes, it would be nice if GIMP had simple a scripting language.
I.E. "Get text from here.
"Format it.
"Place it here.

Hello, what I would like to do is to designate an area on a photo, and have 
GIMP
automatically put a collection of text strings I have onto an individual 
photo

(one text string per photo)

It just gave me a filter, splatters, basic, media etc

There was an option to edit the brush in gimp, I picked a brush at random to
edit and it looks fine, no blue. So it's something to do with the UI maybe.

1) Image>Autocrop image, once you have fixed 2) on the two layers.

2) You white background is not uniform it contains pixels with 253 
instead of 255,

... and autocrop only works with completely uniform backgrounds. You can 
fix this with "Levels", dragging the right hand of "Input" towards value 
250 (or anything left of the line at value 253 in the histogram).

Have a look at the bottom right of that image you posted

See the word "Basic"?

Try changing that may or may not fix it

You save XCF and you export JPEG.

Exporting to JPEG does not modify the image you got in GIMP, provided
that you do not do any additional steps to it. You do not have to do any
additional steps to facilitate the export.

Thanks, after change the mode, the figure can be corrected loaded. Can you
please explain why? This surely helps quickly understand gimp.


I actually want to make use the old xcf to work for a new figure by replacing
the underlying figure. But it seems when I turned the eye on the visible layer,
the old figure shows up. I am here upload both the xcf file and the intended
figure, can you help me with that?


Thanks!

It is a very fast way to create a new layer from exactly what's visible
in the image as a whole. This is useful if you want to reuse the current
result in another image, for example.

Three questions,

to have to merge layers to be one to request autocrop. But that prevents me from
the ability to do changes as needed.


(2) After I merge to just a single layer, it seems autocrop can crop the upper

The xcf should reproduce the issue. Just delete the existing layer from
layer->delete layer, and then file->open as layers to import the attached png
file, and you will see the figure gets blurred. Quite weird, is it?

Also another question is, what's the use of "new from visible"? It seems it
carries the figure information to the new layer, if so, why not directly work on
the figure layer itself?

Never seen anything like that before and I have run Gimp in several flavours of
linux over many years.

What version of linux?  Which desktop environment? Which desktop theme? For good
measure which version of Gimp?

The second way

(1) (2) Yes, Losing the alpha-channel on the new-from-visible does hide the
layers under it. The main reason for using it is non-destructive. The original
layers will be there in case later editing is required. Remember to save your
work in xcf format. All layers, masks, guides, text layers  are saved.

The new-from-visible layer can be hidden by toggling layer visibility - the
little eye icon.

(3) Removing the alpha channel will replace transparent pixels with the
background colour, not necessarily white.

Lock pixels/alpha icons state can be a little difficult to see when using
Windows. That screenshot I put up is in linux. Look for a border after clicking
the icon - see attachment

Thanks for the clear explanation. I have followed both your ways to fix the
issue. Actually it seems skipping creating a new layer from visible also works,
just unlock the lowest layer which I have no idea when locked, and then merge
till the last, then remove the alpha channel, that seems to give the same
result.

Towards your second way, I have the following questions would be really
appreciated if you could help,


(1) wouldn't filling in the top layer with color overshadow the layers beneath
it?
(2) after merging layers into one, can I still operate on previous layers? most
likely not, if so then what's the purpose to create a new layer from visible? I
followed this concern to come up with my own mentioned above.
(3) is removing alpha channel equivalent to filling the background with white?


BTW, how do I see whether the pixel and alpha channel are unlocked? I clicked on
it, but no signs showing that they are unlocked although indeed then I can erase
and make modifications.

Wow, that's just strange, Patrick, because what you said worked.  I recreated an
original template of a wedding invite and made sure I recreated all the text
from scratch. I saved it as an ordinary native .xcf file. I closed it and I
closed GIMP. I reopened GIMP and reopened the file and voila there are editable
text boxes! Happy Days

So the process of creating a jpg file compresses the original even though you
are not saving your original as a jpg file! I thought that was what saving it as
a jpg file was for! Not changing the original! Well I've learnt my lesson and a
big thanks to Ofnuts and Patrick for their help!

First an explanation as to why you will run into problems trying to adjust your
3 layers.

The background layer has both alpha (transparency) and pixels locked. You might
have done this to fix the layer location. That is not their purpose. Easy to
click on the icons  and unlock. see attachment

Then you could apply Colors -> Color-to-Alpha to remove the white and put a new
white layer at the very bottom of the stack.

However the quickest way. 

With the top layer active Layer -> New Layer from visible to combine the 3
layers.

With the background colour white. Layer -> Transparency -> Remove Alpha Channel
see attachment.
