GIMP 2.7.0 review: http://libregraphicsworld.org/articles.php?article_id=10

- New slider widget: http://libregraphicsworld.org/news.php?readmore=619
- OpenRaster support: http://libregraphicsworld.org/news.php?readmore=604
- JPEG2000 support
- Cairo based rendering on canvas:

- More text on canvas options

In short, everything is neater.

Just isntalled 2.6.11. I note that some people have installed 2.7.2. 
Is there a summary somewhere of the new features available with 2.7.2?

[Gimp-user] script-fu copy image and paste as layer into different image

2011-03-18 Thread gumaster
Hello,
I'm trying to write a script to batch proccess a number of files. I want the 
script to open file a*.png, convert black color to alpha and paste image b*.png 
on top of a*.png (both are the same size). The script converts black to alpha, 
but it doesn't paste image.

  (define (batch-alpha-paste pattern
  pattern2)

  ;get the file lists
  (let* ((filelist (cadr (file-glob pattern 1)))
(filelist2 (cadr (file-glob pattern2 1
(while (not (null? filelist))
   (let* ((filename (car filelist))
  (filename2 (car filelist2))
  (image2 (car (gimp-file-load RUN-NONINTERACTIVE filename2 
filename2)))
  (draw2 (car (gimp-image-get-active-layer image2)))
  (image (car (gimp-file-load RUN-NONINTERACTIVE filename 
filename)))
  (drawable (car (gimp-image-get-active-layer image 
; convert black to alpha
(plug-in-colortoalpha RUN-NONINTERACTIVE image drawable '(0 0 
0))

; 
; this part doesn't work, I want to copy image2 into image
; 
(gimp-selection-all image2) 
(gimp-edit-named-copy-visible image2 "dupa")
(gimp-edit-named-paste drawable "dupa" TRUE)
;--


(gimp-file-save RUN-NONINTERACTIVE image drawable filename 
filename)
(gimp-image-delete image)
(gimp-image-delete image2)
   )
   (set! filelist (cdr filelist)

I call the script from shell:
gimp -i -b '(batch-alpha-paste "aa*.png" "bb*.png")' -b '(gimp-quit 0)' 


Any help or suggestion how to copy image2 into image ?

This will get you part of the way.

I think this type of image is best done with inkscape see:
http://screencasters.heathenx.org/episode-037/
and the repeating CD discs are easily made with 'create tiled clones'. - For 
Gimp, I would say copy and paste and a bit of time.
