[Gimp-user] Digital Watercolor effect in GIMP?

2007-11-10 Thread Jürgen Hubert
When reading about Corel Painter, I've frequently come across a so-called 
Digital Watercolor effect, which apparently simulates how wet paint 
behaves when you apply color to a canvas - the virtual pigments are 
gradually diffused across the surface of the paper and then absorbed into it 
over time.

This sounded pretty fascinating, and I was wondering if anyone has attempted 
to create the same effect with GIMP. Or would it require too radical a 
rewrite of the code? After all, currently GIMP assumes that it doesn't 
matter _when_ you make a certain stroke with the virtual pen; it doesn't 
matter if you do a certain stroke two seconds or two minutes after the 
previous one - the result will be the same. But to implement such an effect, 
some kind of time-sensitive mechanism would have to be included - or at 
least, that's my impression from reading about it...

[Gimp-user] GIMP on Mac OX X Leopard

2007-11-10 Thread Victor Domingos
Does anyone know if it is possible to compile GIMP (MacPorts) on  
Leopard (PPC)? I've tried, but I am getting errors during that  
process...

Thanks,
Victor Domingos

You may want to take a look at Wetdream by Raph Levien:
http://www.levien.com/gimp/wetdream.html

As far as I know, it's still not in GIMP, but the author explains
quickly some of the integration problems, because of the difference in
the way pixels are stored.

Re: [Gimp-user] Trouble calling running batch script in Windows XP

2007-11-10 Thread saulgoode
I do not believe that single-quoting a command line argument in Windows
works the same as BASH (Linux). Try using double-quotes and escape any
double-quotes which appear in your argument:

gimp -i -b (batch-CUPify \*.png\) -b (gimp-quit 0)

If you include directories in your path, also escape your backslashes:

gimp -i -b (batch-CUPify \D:\\Documents and
Settings\\spk30\\Desktop\\alison_sl1_dear_friend_backup\\*.png\) -b
(gimp-quit 0)

You may need to experiment as I do not run Windows and have no way of
testing the commands.


 I am using GIMP 2.4.1 on Windows XP, and I am trying to run the script by
 going to the command prompt, changing to a directory full of .png files I
 want to process with the script, and entering the command:

 gimp-2.4 -i -b '(batch-CUPify *.png)' '(gimp-quit 0)'

 This gives me the following messages:

 GIMP-Error: Opening 'D:\Documents and
 Settings\spk30\Desktop\alison_sl1_dear_fri
 end_backup\*.png)'' failed: Invalid argument

 GIMP-Error: Opening 'D:\Documents and
 Settings\spk30\Desktop\alison_sl1_dear_fri
 end_backup\'(gimp-quit' failed: No such file or directory

 GIMP-Error: Opening 'D:\Documents and
 Settings\spk30\Desktop\alison_sl1_dear_fri
 end_backup\0)'' failed: No such file or directory

 No batch interpreter specified, using the default
 'plug-in-script-fu-eval'.
 batch command: executed successfully.


 I would be very grateful for any help you can offer.

 Many thanks in advance,

 Sam

Hmmm. That page is dated to September 4th 2001, which isn't encouraging. No
one else has attempted to do anything like this since?

 Reading the comments would be a good start if you want to give it a try.

Well, in http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=51937#c14 Raphaël
Quinet says, he allready was working on the feature, whereas in
http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=51937#c6 Hans Breuer
appended some code.

So the situation doesn't seem so bleak, does it?

If you have this great concept of a script-callable api, it seems
tantalizingly close to use the api from a script recorder, too.

How is that close? The UI has to be refactored to use that API as well,
which is 80% of the work. It's a large job, and none of the code in bug
even touches upon that. You also have to solve the problem of
translating tool mouse movements into API calls efficiently.

It's pretty rude to imply that something is easy when you haven't even
taken the time to actually think through how much work is involved.
