 It all depends on the background. Color to alpha is ok if it is a

 Other tools include the foreground select tool, the free select tool

[Gimp-user] How to change some default behaviours?

2011-06-18 Thread Walter Dnes
  I'm starting to get serious about photography. I've shot a batch of
photos that need manual processing. There are a couple of steps where I
should be able to save one or two keystrokes every time. This may sound
minor, but when I have to do it time after time after time, it gets
annoying. This is not intended to be a rant, but rather a request for
info about changing defaults to speed things up for me.

  I'm running Gimp 2.6.11 on Gentoo linux (64-bit). I've looked at
Edit == Preferences, but can't seem to find what I'm looking for.

  1) I need to crop photos, but the manual crop tool is not the best
fit. I prefer to use Image == Canvas Size. My problem is that the
Width+Height aspect ratio defaults to staying constant. I.e. if I crop
the X size, the Y size changes proportionally. I do NOT want that. I
have to manually click on the link to break the linkage. Sometimes I
forget, which can get really annoying, when cropping in one dimension
crops the other as well. How can I change the default to not link the
X+Y sizes?

  2) Saving stuff to PNG
  *) After having done any cropping, I obviously want to save my work.
Saving to PNG pops up a dialog about Your image should be exported
before it can be saved... blah, blah, blah. Yes folks, I know that. Is
there any way to get the PNG save routine to just do it, rather than
popping up a dialogue?
  *) If I'm saving to a new PNG file, I get *YET ANOTHER DIALOGUE* with
settings for compression/interlacing/etc/etc. I never change the default
settings, so this is another extra annoyance to me. How can I get the
save as command to just do it?

 I know the above may sound minor, but it does get annoying after the
umpteenth time.

Try opening it with Gimp.
You'll see that each frame opens in gimp as a new layer.

[Gimp-user] How to remove background of shadowed and/or low-resolution and/or more complex images

2011-05-24 Thread Sophoklis Goumas
Hello everyone and especially to the gimp-user mailing list regulars.

I am trying to create a network infrastructure diagram for where I
work with Dia. (In fact it will actually help me much more than anyone
else, but that's not the subject.)

For this I am putting into the diagram, images of: servers, switches,
racks and so on. What I wish for those images is to have transparent
background. So far, I've been able to find decent resolution images
which it's because I've started with the latest hardware.
Here's an example, let's say for our Dell PowerEdge 6850 servers if found this:
http://www.shopricom.com/items/www.shopricom.com/photos/Image78N743uMRZ_full.jpg

which by fuzzy selecting the white background, with a threshold of
15.0 and some selection subtractions I've been able to turn to:
http://i.imgur.com/xyCYn.png
which is nice for what I wish to use it for.

Now, I've been able to handle some easy likewise situations but now
I've reached the vintage hardware and got bad results. Let me show an
example image:
http://www.superwarehouse.com/images/products/HP_Proliant_ml370.jpg

This is more difficult to make it look as I wish since it's resolution
it's not decent and it also has a shadow effect which hardens a
precise initial selection which can then be worked out to a better
result.

After some efforts I either end up with a pixelized image or with a
severely chopped image.

So, my question is how could I achieve the desired result for this and
such images?
How would do you work out similar or even more advanced cases?

Thanks in advance for your time and attention,

Hi Sophoklis,

There are a few good methods to use.

For cutting out a logo, sometimes using ColorsColor to Alpha with the 
background color selected does the job well.

For this I would recommend using the Eraser tool, and tracing the 
outline of the server. Square objects are pretty simple to do - use the 
shift button to drag your Eraser tool from point A to point B.

Another option is painting on a layer mask - it is like the eraser tool, 
but much more convenient to rework and correct. But it is almost 
impossible to achieve crisp edges this way. For hard and crisp edges it 
may be better to use the pen tool and trace the contour of the object 
with it creating a path, that you can edit and later turn into selection.
Have in mind that color to alpha removes the selected color from the 
whole image (except if you already have a selection).

Good suggestion. Though I just found out about a new eraser tool feature 
by accident, so I thought I'd share.

If you erase (with the eraser tool) an area and want it back, you can 
press Alt while Erasing to restore the original pixels.

Re: [Gimp-user] How to remove background of shadowed and/or low-resolution and/or more complex images

2011-05-24 Thread Mikel Garai
Hi!

In this situations what I do is:

- select by either free tool or the scissors (depending on the case is 
easier with one or the other)
- create a layer mask from the selection
- adjust the little things than were not perfect

after that and optionally to simulate the antialias and avoid the hard 
edges:
- apply a gaussian blur to the mask (probably very little, 2-3px or so)
- to avoid the white aura around the object use the levels tool with 
that layer moving the left handler to the right until you are happy with 
the result

It's easier than it sound.

hope this helps and good luck!

 Have in mind that color to alpha removes the selected color from the
 whole image (except if you already have a selection).
What I do usually is restriuct color to alpha to a thin border around 
the object edges;

1) magic wand to select background, if the background is not uniform 
(JPEG artifacts, for instance) and there are unselected spots, 
shift-click them to include them in the selection

2) save that selection

3) shrink the selection 3 pixels

4) erase, this takes care of most of the backgound

5) restore saved selection

6) extend it two pixels so that is extends slightly inside the object.

7) apply color-to-alpha

Done.

Re: [Gimp-user] How to remove background of shadowed and/or low-resolution and/or more complex images

2011-05-24 Thread Elwin Estle
When painting on a layer mask, if you use a dynamic brush created in the brush 
editor, you can set up in your preferences to allow  you to resize and change 
the brush hardness on the fly while you are painting.  I have mine set up so 
that pressing shift while scrolling the mousewheel increases/decreases the 
brush size, and ctrl with mousewheel increases/decreases hardness.  This way 
you can paint hard edges on parts of the mask that need hard edges, and soft 
edges where you need those.  You can render against the intended background 
and see what it will look like as you go.

Further, for straight edges, it is a simple matter to use the shift key to let 
you draw nice straight lines when you are painting on the mask.

There is a tutorial on Gimptalk about doing renders with layer masks...tho some 
of the images got removed when GT shut down imageox, their image server.

I recently downloaded gimp 2.6.11 (running 64 bit win7) starting from the
official site which directed to a mirror.

I stupidly did not verify checksum and said OK before launching setup.
Install program was not signed, and again I stupidly said yes. After running
about two seconds, the install program reported that something was corrupted
and quit. I refreshed the download mirror site, was directed to another
mirror, that was signed properly, installed OK, and everything is fine.

When I compared the files, the one that didn't work was smaller --
19,205,764 bytes as opposed to 20,367,424 bytes in the correct one.
Naturally I've scanned for problems and can't find any, but something

 www.jkwptest.net/b-login.gif
 
 Do you know how I create this in Gimp? It is possible?

Is it possible? Yes. There is nothing special about that image. It is just 
two individual button images placed side by side on a common background.

I would start with creating a file to be used as a template for a button 
(where you can change the label), and use that to create an image for each 
button separately. The final step is to create a new image using the two 
other buttons previously created.

The template file will have several layers. Start with a transparent layer 
and fill it with the shape of the button you want and fill it with a 
gradient. You can use another layer for the outline and highlight around the 
button or put that on the first layer. Add a text layer on top that will be 
for the button label. Save this template (ie. as button-template.xcf).

Set the text for the button as needed then Save As (or export) as a file for 
the first button image. Alter the text layer and enter the text needed for 
the second button. Save this new image.

Now you can create a new file that is a bit more than twice the width of 
each individual button and create new layers using the previously saved pair 
of button images. Change background as desired. Save as .xcf (just in case), 
then Save As (or Export) your final image.



Thanks for your help!

[Gimp-user] How can you make files open in one instance of gimp?

2011-04-10 Thread Rob Frohne

Hi All,

I'm trying to streamline a daily activity processing photos with Gimp by 
using incrontab (which makes it when you add files to a directory, it 
will automatically run a program to deal with the event).  I have a 
python-fu script that I need to run after selecting four corners of what 
will be new photos.  It will run itself on all images open in gimp which 
reduces my keystrokes or mouse clicks.  The problem I'm having is that 
when I put four photos into the processing directory, incron opens four 
instances of gimp instead of opening gimp once and adding each photo to 
its open images.  I'm using Ubuntu Linux.  Are there any ideas out there 
on how to get around this problem cleanly?  I'd really like to make the 
same instance of gimp open the photos, but I'm not sure how to do that.


Thanks,

calls are made too fast for Gimp to set up the first instance fully. I 
would call Gimp from a script that does some random wait (doesn't need 
to be very long) before calling it...

This:

will open both files in the same Gimp window.

While this:
% gimp file1  gimp file2 
will open each file to a seperate Gimp window.

  6. Apply Colors-Map-Gradient Map

not for the faint of heart...

It should be reasonably easy to implement a new curve type that
implements this kind of piecewise constant function. One starting point
for this could be the function gimp_curve_calculate() in
app/core/gimpcurve.c.

IMHO also interesting would be a piecewise linear type that connects the
control points with straight lines.

This will get you part of the way.

http://sglider12.blogspot.com/2008/01/software-boxes.html

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.

[Shift [Click]], same as [Click], only creates dents in the current colour

it piecewise flat (except for drawing it freehand, which is impossible to 
accomplish reliably using a mouse.)

There's a function in the PDB called gimp-curves-explicit:

Modifies the intensity mapping for one channel in the specified
drawable. The drawable must be either grayscale or RGB, and the
channel can be either an intensity component, or the value. The
'curve' parameter is an array of bytes which explicitly defines how
each pixel value in the drawable will be modified. Use the
'gimp-curves-spline' function to modify intensity levels with Catmull
Rom splines.

So I guess it would theoretically be possible to write a script or
plug-in for this.

These are global filters installed with gimp, rather than personal that you may 
have chosen to install.

Added to that they are compiled plugins and are in

/usr/lib/gimp/2.0/plug-ins/

global scripts are in

/usr/share/gimp/2.0/scripts/

For scripts 'something.scr' and python plugins 'something.py' open in a text 
editor and have a look at the last few lines of the script, this determines 
whereabouts in the menu they reside.

Dear experts,

How can I make 1 image out of 2 images?

I have made
- 1 image with a black line on white background saved as xcf
- 1 image with a black letter A on white background saved as xcf
Both images are rectangulars.
I scaled the height of both images to the same value.

Output should be 1 image 
- with white background
- one rectangular consisting of the old 2 rectangulars
- area is the sum of the area of the 2 old rectangulars
- on left side the line image
- on right side the A image
- new image can be saved as xcf

Please give me the answer in a simply consecutive row of commands like:

GIMP  file  open file: image with line  right click on image  image  scale 
image  ...
GIMP  file  open file: image with letter  ...

necesary to hold the final image (unlink the dimensions in the dialog)
- file/open as layer the other image
- move that new layer to its final place (the align tool is your friend)

[Gimp-user] How do I get the current image filename and directory name in script-fu?

2011-01-30 Thread Rob Frohne

Hi All,

I need to process multiple photos every day in the same way and am 
trying to minimize the effort needed by automating Gimp with Scrip-fu, 
which seems to be kind of limited.  My plan was to save the files in 
specified folders and using incron (an inotify service) to open them in 
Gimp; do a manual perspective backward transformation by hand and start 
a script would, resize them and based on their filename and what 
directory they came from, save them to the correct folders for display 
on web pages.


I'm having difficulty figuring out how to get the filename and directory 
which the images came from.  Does anyone have any tips?


Thanks,

Rob

If you look at the Procedure Browser, you will find the following:
 (gimp-image-get-filename image)

It returns the directory path and filename for the loaded file.

[Gimp-user] How to create a gel effect?

2010-11-17 Thread audiocontr
I'm looking to mass produce an effect on hotspots much like the following:

Take at 
http://www.directionsmag.com/images/newsletter/2007/10_week1/DC_CIKR_lg.jpg

It contains hotspots on a 2d map. These hotspots are nothing more than pngs I 
generate, and apply to the 2d map. I'd like to apply a gel to them that 
almost looks like several layers of clear enamel, or gel. has been applied on 
top - and almost clings to the shapes of the blobs. It would extend a few 
pixels beyond the edges, relatively clear in nature (but have shadow and 
reflexive qualities from its textures).

Ive created a few versions but none give the effect im after. The glossy/clear 
effect of the gel has been all but impossible to generate. Any tips?

I'd eventually like to lock down the workflow and batch script the process to a 
whole directory of images. That comes down the road though...

 Duplicate the layer and remove all the dark lines/text with the 
 Dilate filter, repeat until they are all gone.
 
 Gaussian Blur this duplicated layer with a large radius.
 
 Effectively you want to subtract this duplicated layer from the 
 original, do this by setting the layer Mode to Grain Extract, then 
 Flatten.

Thank you, Bruno.

I tried this and it works quite well.

I also found another way meanwhile:
Decompose the image by Wavelet function (part of my gimp 2.6 or as a plugin
http://registry.gimp.org/node/11742 ) and clear the first layer - the one
with details of larger scale - with the neutral color (128,128,128).
Or fill that layer with white and set the brightness and contrast of the image
after it is flattened again.

I'm surprised there is no tutorial about this - probably a good chance to write
new one - when I get really good results.

[Gimp-user] how do I find the pathname of a selected font?

2010-10-01 Thread bobdobbs
Hi.

I've got lots of fonts in quiet a few directories.

I'm using a particular font in an image I'm editing. I want to discover the 
pathname of this font.

It looks like the name of the font that gimp displays in the font text settings 
pane doesn't corrospond to the filename of the actual font, so the solution 
isn't as simple as navigating to my main font directory and grepping for it.

Can gimp give me enough information on the font to allow me to find it?

I had a similar problem - I had a directory containing tons of fonts
that were all very badly named.  I wrote this snippet to rename the
files based on the actual font name (family_style.ttf) so I could find
them and install as needed:
http://pastebin.com/GB6PKBim

BE WARNED: this changes the file names *in place* - there is
absolutely no safety net.  You might consider copying your font dir to
a temporary location and then running the script there instead.  For
me it worked well - that whole directory is named correctly now, but I
make no guarantees (may kick puppies, eat kittens, etc. ;)  Also it
only will do TTF files, and probably only works on linux.  You need
python-imaging and python-magic as well.

Another possibility would be to modify this script to output the
filename and the font name on the same line - that way you could pipe
that through grep and see which file matches which font.

HTH,
Chris

In Unix based systems it would be worth to try with symlinks: keep the

No, but the tools that come with fontconfig can. There's the fc-list

filenames. Try fc-list : family style file. For details see the

Hi,

You have to add alpha channel from the image menubar through Layer → 
Transparency → Add alpha Channel.
http://docs.gimp.org/2.6/en/gimp-layer-alpha-add.html

With an alpha channel, the default operation of eraser is deleting to 
transparency.
However, if you want to turn white to transparency, you'd better use 
Colors → Color to alpha.

[Gimp-user] How to clean the photo of the paper with drawing?

2010-09-30 Thread Milan Vancura
Hello all,

I tried to find tips how to clean a photo of the drawing but with no success.
I have a photo of a paper with drawing (usually a combination of heavy lines
by marker and thin pencil ones) and want to improve the image for printing. So
I want to get white background of 100% of the image (no shadows) and still
have all details of drawing kept. Even if they are sometimes lighter than
shadows in different part of the image. For example a dark shadow in the cormer
and light pencil line in the middle.

I tried to play with brightness  contrast. This is not good enough as many
details are lost. Typically the pencil drawing. Levels are unusable for the
same reason.

I tried to look for edge-detection filters but they all do something else than
I need: they left a thin line around the edge, not the original line itself.

Probably a FFT (Fast Fourier Transformation) filter would help but I did not
find any.

Any ideas, please?

[Gimp-user] How to switch off anti-aliasing in Rectangular Selection Tool?

2010-09-16 Thread nzn
Hello,

Is it possible to switch off an anti-aliasing option in Rectangular Selection
Tool? There is a check box Antialiasing, but it's always disabled. 

(I'm using GIMP 2.0.5, W2K)

Thanks in advance,

Tim.

You are right. This is a silly bug in GIMP and it is recreated by checking
rounded corners and then checking antialiasing and then unchecking rounded
corners. Antialiasing becomes disabled - goodness knows why. This stays even
if you restart GIMP! Arrgh!
You undo this by checking rounded corners again so antialiasing becomes
enabled again, then unchecking antialiasing and then again unchecking
rounded corners.
Have a nice decade!

Maybe it's like this because anti-aliasing only applies to rounded 
corners? I have a hard time figuring out how it would be involved in a 
completely rectangular object with sides parallel to the image ones.

[Gimp-user] How to edit text in both Gimp Photoshop

2010-09-08 Thread Nikolas Konvalin
Thanks for the reply but.I have tried that and it did not work.
I worked in the sense that when I saved my image as a .psd I could open it and
edit it including the text layers in gimp but when I send it to a friend to
open it in photoshop the text layers become just layers and cannot be edited.
For me to make the graphic in gimp and sell it on Graphic river the person
buying the graphic needs to be able to edit the text in photoshop.
So I do not know if there is another way that I can save the text layers as a
.psd in gimp and still be able to edit them in photoshop.

Thanks again

You can't currently do that. GIMP now provides the API that the PSD
plug-in would need to implement this. So we would be very happy if
someone picked up work on the PSD plug-in and implemented support for
saving GIMP text layers as PS text layers and for loading text layers
from PSD files so that they become editable text layers in GIMP.

If someone's interested to work on this, please speak up on the
gimp-developer mailing-list.

Hold down CTRL+SHIFT while making your fuzzy select.

[Gimp-user] how can I change the direction of bevel lightning ?

2010-07-25 Thread Cristian Secară
I need to make some simple rectangle buttons and the Filters - Decor

a single direction of the bevel highlight and shadow sides.

How can I change the direction of where the light appears to come from ?

* Duplicate your layer.
* Run Add Bevel and choose the Keep Bump Layer option.
* After the script finishes, delete the beveled layer (we just want  
the Bumpmap layer).
* Open the Filters-Map-Bump Map dialog and select the Bumpmap  
layer from the top dropdown list, select Spherical from the Map Type  
dropdown, and adjust the Azimuth to control the direction of the  
light source. To mimic the Add Bevel script, the other options should  
remain at their default settings: Compensate for darkening=TRUE,  
Invert bumpmap=FALSE, Tile bumpmap=FALSE, Elevation=45, Depth=3, and  
everything else 0.

[Gimp-user] How do I apply the same layer mask to multiple images?

2010-07-20 Thread Ken Warner
I don't think this went through last time.  Sorry if you 
got it twice.

I want to apply the same layer mask to 8 to 12 tiff images.
It's a simple alpha mask to turn a portion of the tiff images
transparent.

I have saved the alpha mask as a tiff file.  Should I save it
as another type of file?

The I can open the layer mask file as a layer and apply it
one by one to each image.  But that's a lot of repetitious
clicking and pointing.

What would be a better faster way to do this?

[Gimp-user] How is 16 bit GIMP doing?

2010-07-13 Thread Carusoswi
   / Martin
Hey, I may not live that long :). Krita has had CMYK for 
years. But of course Krita lacks the full feature set of Gimp.
Maybe some of that Krita code could be lifted for Gimp, just 
as InDesign lifted important features from TeX.

Well, this January marks a chronological milestone for me, and, at this stage,
six to eight years seems like something close to a life sentence for me.  I
guess I need to resign my open source editing sights for long-term (for me)
8-bit.  I do like version 7.1 very much, though.

Keep up the good work.

 We know we need CMYK sooner or later, but higher bit 
depths and
 non-destructiveness is much more important. So first 
good support for
 the latter, then we can begin looking into proper support 
for the former
 IMO. Maybe in a stable version 6-8 years from now with 
the current pace
 of development.

The debate on what ID lifted and what it didn't will never stop, eh?

There seems to be a recently growing trend to solve GIMP's bottlenecks
by introducing external plug-ins that do some fancy stuff and run in
16bpc mode, e.g.:
http://www.mm-log.com/blog/2010-07-09/adaptive-saturation-curve-labcurves

You might like getting Mike to code quick patch-ups, no?

Of course, mating the goat and the wilber would be preferable.

There is more to say.

Right now the top priority is to get GIMP 2.8 released. The current goal 
is late 2010. GIMP 2.8 does not have support for high bit depths.

Once GIMP 2.8 is out, we will start phasing out the legacy 
8-bit-per-channel code and replace it with GEGL. In other words, we will 
start for real to introduce support for high bit depths in GIMP. There 
is no schedule of this work, so a date cannot be given. It is reasonable 
though to expect this work to go on for say 2-4 years.

Regards,
Martin
