If your images are all named sequentially ("picture_0001.jpg",  
"picture_0002.jpg", etc), or if you can rename them as such, then you  
can use the GAP to perform the perspective transform.

1) Open the first image ("picture_0001.jpg").
2) Create a new image that will be large enough to hold the transformed image.
3) Use "Video->Duplicate Frames..." to create enough copies to hold  
your original images (e.g., if you have 100 originals then duplicate  
the new image 99 times).
4) Perform a "Video->Move Path"
   4a) Set the Source Image/Layer: to the first image in your series.
   4b) Set the Stepmode: to "Frame Once".
   4c) Set the Handle: to "Center".
   4d) Set the X: and Y: of the Current Point to be the center of the image.
   4e) Check the "Instant Apply" option.
   4f) Click on the Perspective tab and enter appropriate values to move the
   four corners of the original to the proper perspective.
   4g) Click OK.

At this point, a new layer will be added to each of the frames that  
you originally created. You can continue editing from this point  
(recommended) or use the "Video->Frames convert..." command to save  
them all as JPEGs.

Step "4f)" will require some trial and error. The value of each of the  
points corresponds to the ratio of that point between its original  
location and the center. A screenshot of an example dialog is  
available at http://www.imageox.com/image/42041-Perspectiv.jpeg

They do not necessarily show up there - scripts and plug-ins can
register themselves in any menu they want (and with 2.3, an increasing
number of context menus as well)

Thus the register calls is what you have to look for in the scripts.

Then I don't know. Strange issue.

Since sphere.py shows up, it doesn't seem to be an issue with Python-fu
interpreter.

Do you get any strange output when running GIMP from a terminal?

No. I had expected them to be picked up just as the script-fu plug-ins 
were. I did what you suggested and restarted Gimp. They were picked 
up as new plugins during the startup display but I still can't find 
them on a menu.  The only entry on the python submenu is sphere.py, 
which was there when I started.

Did you put them in ~/.gimp-2.3/plugins and chmod +x them?

You can run Photoshop plug-ins under GIMP, but I don't know if KPT will
run. Might do what you want.

[Gimp-user] Is there a simple way of repeating a perspective transformation?

2007-04-16 Thread Neil Woolford
Hi,

I have a series of images of objects, shot from the same viewpoint, which all
need to have the same perspective transformation applied before they are
retouched and used.

Is there any simple way of exactly repeating a transformation on a series of
images.  It appears that the perspective transformation is the one that you
can't even enter parameters for, it is all driven interactively by the mouse. 
This will lead to differences between the images that may make some of the
retouching more difficult than it needs to be.

Neil

[Gimp-user] python-fu and menus.

2007-04-16 Thread John R. Culleton
There are several python-fu scripts installed but they don't show up 
under the xtn menu or anyplace else I can find when running Gimp. 
Only the sphere.py script shows up. Gimp 2-3-13 on Slackware 11.

You can use them to stitch pictures in any arrangement (rows, 
columns, grids, random rotations, etc...) if that is what you mean.

[Gimp-user] KPT for the Gimp?

2007-04-16 Thread Claus Cyrny
Hi,

does anyone know if there is a Script-Fu available
somewhere which emulates Kai's Power Tools (KPT)?
I once had KPT v 3 under Corel PHOTO-PAINT, and it
had some really nice fx. What I'm particularly looking
for is the KPT tool which has a sort of magnifying glass
as an interface, which allowed you to apply warps to
an image. I didn't manage to get this effect by using the
filters/Script-Fu's available in the Gimp.

TIA,

Claus

Are these tools useful for top-to-bottom merges or even diagonal
