[Gimp-user] Image resizing based upon image content

2007-08-29 Thread Dotan Cohen
There is an amazing video describing an image resizing algorithm that
removes (or adds) pixels based upon their importance to the subjecto
of the photo. Can this be implemented in The Gimp? Apparently it will
soon be a part of Photoshop.

The video is here:

Of course it can be implemented in GIMP. It just takes someone with the time 
and ability to write the code for a plug-in that implements the algorithm.

[Gimp-user] pdb.gimp_by_color_select malfunction

2007-08-29 Thread Stephen Moss
pdb.gimp_by_color_select malfunction.

linux debian etch amd64 gimp 2.3.13 (no other updated libs required)

I have a python routine that uses:
 pdb.gimp_by_color_select

Everything  works fine for smaller files but the subroutine does not
work correctly (does a select all, instead of the requested select by
color) when I use it on larger ones. The current picture is 8000 X
6500 px.

I tried pdb.gimp_by_color_select_full too, but it also fails.

I can pause the execution of the python script right after the python
pdb.gimp_by_color_select. The GUI indicates a select all condition!
I can then use the GUI Select - by color which works perfectly!

Ideas???

Stephen

[Gimp-user] pdb.gimp_by_color_select malfunction .. workaround

2007-08-29 Thread Stephen Moss
Fellow python users,

After some more work on the problem

I discovered that:

- small files opened in the GUI are select - none but

- larger files are opened select - all  

Workaround:

Put a
pdb.gimp_selection_none(image)
before the
pdb.gimp_by_color_select_full(drawable,

Stephen

I find this extremely difficult to believe.
I think it's more likely something about the image that causes
gimp_by_color_select to behave in a way you don't expect. For example,
if your huge image is indexed, that might cause  this effect you
mention; the threshold selection options (eg, in 'magic wand' and
'select by color' tools) do work in indexed mode, but the result often
isn't meaningful (since the threshold is applied to the colormap
indices of the pixels, rather than the actual colors they point to.)

Does toggling 'sample merged' effect the result?
I have done my tests with:

Antialiasing ON (does nothing anyway, AFAIK)
Feather OFF
Select transparent areas ON
Sample Merged OFF
Select by: COMPOSITE (if you had been using the wrong value here, it
could have tripped you up too.)

On a 8000x6000 PNG image (on an AMD Duron, Ubuntu 6.06, GIMP [latest
from SVN] ), I have tried to reproduce your problem with both an
indexed and a grey image, and neither display the behaviour you
mention. The select menu always shows 'None' as disabled and 'All' as
normal after the image is opened, indicating that the selection is
currently empty (None). In fact, the menus do not indicate whether all
pixels are selected -- you can see that the 'All' menu entry is never
disabled, so even when the selection already covers everything, you
can still Select-All.

If you want to check the state of the selection, there is a 'Selection
Editor' dockable you can access which provides a clear display of the
current selection mask.

Lastly, it's possible that the file plugin for whatever format your
image is in is interpreting some data wrongly and so mistakenly
resetting the selection mask to this confusing state. What format is
your input file(s)?
