I looked at the page linked to above. FYI, the project hasn't been called

Thanks for setting up the list. I suspect the 100 user limit will be reached

The script name and full menu path goes in to a script-fu-menu-register

in any of the scripts that are shipped with GIMP. It is also mentioned in

I didn't go through the script in detail as it was rather long. I did notice 
the above. You are creating a new display but did not save the image ID. You 
need to pay attention to functions that return a value and do something with 
the return values.

If the first entry in the list is "somefile.JPG" what you have above will 
attempt to save out a new version with the name "somefile.JPG-new".


What you need to do is get the root filename "somefile" and append 
"-new.JPG" to create the new filename of "somefile-new.JPG".


The simplest way to handle the situation is to read the files from one 
directory and save the modified version to another. The not so easy method 
is to split the string on the . in the filename in to "simefile" and ".JPG" 
so you can create a string with the new name for the modified file.

The problem with that line is that you are passing two strings to + instead 
of passing numbers to it. The + symbol means add two numbers together. What 
you want is string concatenation.


Try the following:

I tried the invert function and it is not doing what I want to do.

I want to rescue old color negative 35mm film strips by inverting them to a

The negatives have an orange cast which inverts to monochrome blue.
Restoring old negatives involves more than just a colour inversion. The 
colour balance is likely to be off. I have 400 colour slides to scan and 
restore that date back to the last 60s to mid-70's. I know the colour 
balance is off as the red has faded over time. I don't yet know about any 
changes in brightness and contrast.


One other (non-GIMP) approach to fixing slides that you may be able to adapt 
to negatives by adding a colour inversion step can be found at:

I haven't tried it yet but I'm thinking about it. It was mentioned in this

If you can't or don't want to install an MS supplied toolchain I would 
suggest looking in to installing MSYS and MinGW in order to get an 
environment set up so code can be compiled. There are additional library 
dependencies that will also need to be installed. It is isn't going to be 
simple as there are a number of steps involved but I don't think it is that 
bad overall. I have been able to set up an build environment on one of my 
Windows based machines. I don't know how easily a non-programmer would be 
able to get everything place to build GIMP and some of its dependencies.


IIRC, I documented the process I went through to set up MSYS/MinGW for 
building code but that was long before the multiple programming language 
support now required to build GIMP. I'll look for my old notes in case it 
might help.

You can find information about how to help with GIMP here at:

That page has a link to the gitlab site used to track bug reports. The page

Distros often have versions of software that are older than what may be 
available from the official site for a given program. They do it for any 
number of reasons. Some distros prefer to use only what they consider tried 
and tested software. Other distros provide software versions that are closer 
to the latest. Those distros can be for the more "adventurous types" or 
those that need to be running close to the current releases of software.


You have some options. You can build the latest version of GIMP yourself but 
if you aren't used to building software it is not a trivial task to do it 
the first time. You can for a PPA for GIMP. That will let you install and 
update GIMP the same way you install other packages on your machine. The 
other option is to check the GIMP website for a downloadable file that will 
give you the latest version available. If you use the latter option it will 
likely be up to you to keep the program up to date.

If the image you are working on was created by GIMP the name of the font 
will be in the .xcf file. Short of that, you can use websites such as 
identifont.com or https://www.myfonts.com/WhatTheFont/ to get an idea of the

You don't need an app to attempt font identification. There are multiple 
websites available online that will attempt to identify a font for you given 
a sample image. There is at least one site that attempts to identify a font 
based on you telling it about various features of characters in the font.

Try the following:
- select by colour
- Grow or shrink the selection multiple times counting the number of steps

- Shrink or grow the selection half the number of steps

It may not be the fastest method but it should work.

Ask the person who created the image to send you the multi-layer .xcf file. 
If they still have that version available it will make it a lot easier to

If the single layer PDF you generated had the right look to text outputting 
a multi-layer version should not change the appearance of the text. You need 
to do an export to PDF from the original multi-layer XCF file on a machine 
that has the fonts installed which are referenced by the XCF file.

In GIMP you could try using the liquid rescale plug-in. You would have

scale it down. Making it twice the size may not work out as well as you 
might like for use in a book.

If you are sending only an xcf file your friend won't see the fonts as you

You have some old Script-Fu scripts in your installation of GIMP. The

Nice to hear that you child likes to draw. You never know where it might

The problem with the Wacom tablet I have is calibrating it and having the 
calibration stick between reboots of the computer and use of the tablet.


One feature you should enable (if supported by the tablet) is pressure 
sensitivity. You may not need that right away but it will be useful down the 
road.



3) The Wacom buttons?

There are four buttons on the graphics tablet - by default they are used
as mouse clicks. Can I use the button to choose tools? If so, how should
I configure them for productive use within Gimp?

[snip]> 4) Wacom & Gimp - your workflow on Linux?


When you use Gimp with a Wacom tablet on Linux, what is your workflow,
what are your shortcuts?


Configuring the buttons is something that will take time. The user of the 
tablet needs to learn what features they use more often and if configuring a 
button to quickly access those features would be helpful.


For me, two features that I find useful to have access quickly/easily are 
swapping the foreground and background colours, and switching to the eraser 
tool.


Which of these two features is accessed by the stylus button and which is 
accessed by a tablet button will be personal preference.

For Windows, if you can determine the offset you need to get the image 
centered on a page you can add a transparent background layer that would put 
the image in the right place for it to appear centered.


The other option is to pull the image in to something like Inkscape or a

to have it appear on the printed page where you want it.

GIMP is moving towards higher colour depth. Would a high bit depth monitor

You need to install the ufraw or dcraw plug-in for GIMP.

Earlier messages referenced a Canon digital camera, IIRC. I also saw a 
reference to the images showing up as very small when the pictures were 
loaded in to GIMP. That tells me that the camera images you are trying to 
load are in RAW format but you don't have a plug-in in GIMP that will let it 
read files in that format.


What you are seeing are the thumbnails of the RAW files. You need to install 
a plug-in for GIMP to let it read RAW files. You can install either dcraw or 
ufraw plug-in to let GIMP read the files. If you can't find either of those 
plug-ins you will need to convert the files in to a format that GIMP can 
read before you try loading them in GIMP.

this particular document was created using GIMP


GIMP includes a filter to add drop shadow to an item. There are (or were) 
some filters let you create text with a drop shadow.


You said the drop shadow on the image you are dealing with is not "normal". 
What is different about it? If the image was created by GIMP it may be 
slightly different than a drop shadow created by Photoshop (or some other 
editing program) but it was most likely created using the built-in drop

It sounds like you have include a menu path in the script-fu-register call

In the script-fu-register block the first thing you specify is the name of 
the script function to be called. The second entry is the menu entry for 
script without any menu path.


You set the path by including a menu register call such as this:

Can you use the File->Open menu to open file types other than GIMP's native 
format? If not, you have a problem with the installation of the plug-ins 
providing support for other file formats.


If you can open other file formats from inside GIMP the problem is just with 
file associations. You can set the associations you want by telling Windows 
what program to use when it opens a given file type.


Pay attention during installation to see if it asks you whether you want the

If you had done a search using the words "gimp unbound variable" you would

You have an old script that is using a variable before it was defined. Make

You provided a list but it was a list of numbers, not characters. To create

(gimp-message (list->string '(#\H #\e #\l #\l #\o #\!)))

Characters are written as #\ followed by a the character you want, or by #\ 
and the name of a character (ie. space, or newline).


For some additional information you can look in the R5RS under section 6.3.4 
on page 28.


There is a minor error in the printing of characters that I need to fix. It 
shows them as "#\x" instead of just "#\". I also just had a thought that 
this information should be put in to some document about Script-Fu basics.

Re: [Gimp-user] Scheme - image ID

I want to get the id from within the script. I found the answer. Not
sure why it wasn't working when I first tried it. I hadn't made the

image item) function.


You said you found the answer then your last statement seems to indicate you 
haven't.


Apart from the previous suggestions on how to find the image ID I had 
another thought. If you are writing a script where you want to right click 
an image and run your script from the menu that will pop up you can set up 
your script so the image ID and drawable ID are automatically passed to your 
script.


In the script-fu-register block where you have the list of SF-* parameters, 
you add two lines right before any other SF-* parameters:

  SF-IMAGE   "Image"0
  SF-DRAWABLE"Drawable" 0

In the define for your script you would add "image" and "drawable" as the 
first two parameters expected by your script. You can use any variable names 
you want in place of "image" and "drawable".


If your define was
  (define (my-script-fu-script param1 param2)
you would change it to
 (define (my-script-fu-script image drawable param1 param2)

The variable name "image" will automatically be set to the ID of the image 
that you right clicked.

That's quite unlikely. As mentioned earlier, GIMP 2.8.x simply doesn't
have the plugin for loading NEF.


For loading NEF files you need the gimp-dcraw or gimp-ufraw packages 
installed. On my machine I'm using the dcraw based package.

If you want the image to appear on paper at 28mm high at 100dpi you can 
calculate the size of the image in pixels using that information.


28mm high at 100dpi works out to 110 pixels. If you are trying to scale an 
image that is over 800 pixels high you are losing a lot of information. I 
would suggest you up your dpi value to at least 300 for such a small image.

When it comes to printing, black ink by itself won't give you a real dark

Y-67 K-90 (from a formula on a web page). These percentages are different

I am not aware of any formal documentation for dealing with changes in the

I have a Perl script that can be used to update calls to GIMP procedures in 
Script-Fu scripts but I haven't updated it in a while. It can handle a lot 
of the changes but there was one major set of changes in GIMP procedures 
(between 2.4 and 2.6, IIRC) that were rather extensive and beyond what my 
script was designed to handle.


I will have to dig out the script and get it updated again some day. I've

I think you need either the dcraw or ufraw plug-in for GIMP in order for it

You need to install either the ufraw or dcraw plug-ins for GIMP. I prefer 
dcraw. When you open a RAW file when using the ufraw plug-in you get a 
dialog box from ufraw with all its standard image manipulation features 
before you have even loaded it in to GIMP to see what might need to be done

Re: [Gimp-user] create a flashing neon sign

There is a Script-Fu script called neon-logo.scm in GIMP that allowed the 
creation of images that looked like they were made out of glowing neon. It 
generated multiple layers so it was easy to turn on/off layers to create the 
on and off images that could be layered to make an animation.


Around half of the Script-Fu scripts that used to be in GIMP have been 
removed as of the current git master version including the neon effect. For 
the next release of GIMP you will have to track down a copy of the script if 
you want to continue using it.

Re: [Gimp-user] I'm finding it hard to work with brush sizes in 2.8

2013-10-28 Thread Kevin Cozens

I am typically using a brush sizes of 1,2,5,10,20 the sliders are basically
useless to me. Is there a way to set the max of the size slider? (and any other
sliders for that matter)

Paul


One of the brushes I most often need is a 1 pixel square brush. I use it to 
do fine touch up work on images. The 2.8.2 version of GIMP that is available 
for my distro appears to have an off-by-one error in the rectangle selection 
tool that meant the outside corner pixels were missing. I tried to create a 
1 pixel brush to fix the corners but nothing I tried got me the 1x1 square 
brush. It kept coming up as 2x2 or larger.


The problem with creating the brush I needed and a problem with the text 
tool resulted in me compiling and locally installing GIMP 2.6 so I could do 
what I wanted to do with the image I was creating.

You need to install either the ufraw or dcraw plugins for GIMP. I use the 
dcraw plugin as I don't like how the ufraw plugin asks me about ways it 
could alter the image as part of the file load process.

I'm new at GIMP scripting. My task is to do a batch processing over an folder

I had to add an alpha mask to 22 images. I just used ImageMagick as it was 
easy to do that way and saved the need to write a script. I've only looked 
briefly at your script. Nothing obvious jumps out at me. I'd look at the 
return values from the function calls. Some operations can change the ID's 
of layers or drawables and you need to use the new ID's for later operations.


I don't see why you used file globbing to get the alpha mask image. BTW, you 
can combine car and cadr in to one operation. In Script-Fu scripts you can 
have up to four letters between c and r for things like car, cadr, up all 
variations from cr to cr.

Script-Fu API is also more consistent than Python's (almost everything is

There are a couple of minor points one has to keep in mind when reading the 
information provided by the PDB while working on SF scripts. Apart from 
that, the procedure browser does provide a (mostly?) complete documentation 
of the library.



Granted, it would be nice if GIMP included a more powerful Lisp (such as
ECL, Embeddable Common Lisp), but Script-Fu's Tinyscheme is surprisingly
fun to program in.


There have been discussions where people have said GIMP should use a more 
complete Scheme implementation. Guile was mentioned in particular in those 
discussions. SF has tried to stay small by using a small Scheme interpreter. 
It let's you automate tasks in GIMP and you can do some reasonably complex 
tasks. However, it does have its limitations and there are times when a more 
full featured programming language is useful. To that end, there other 
language bindings available one can use.

I know python and I know scheme (and a lot of other languages, if that
matters). Granted, I don't know the scheme dialect used by gimp. I'd
rather use any lisp dialect in favour of python. I started to learn
python, but I broke, since I just can't get used to python's lambda's.
Due to the indentation syntax, defining lambda's seems to be very
ambiguous to me.


If you know Scheme then you know the Scheme of Script-Fu. The TinyScheme
interpreter used in Script-Fu follows the official Scheme standard as
documented in the R5RS but it is not a full implementation of R5RS.

I finally started learning to work with Python by writing a new GUI for
avrdude using wxGlade and wxPython. I don't find using indentation in Python
to be much of a problem (so far) but doing the GUI doesn't use much of
Python. I might have more issues with it when I do something more
complicated. The general rule seems to be that you indent anywhere you would
have used { } if one was writing in C.


What about perl? how stable are perl's bindings to gimp?


They are so stable you could measure the dust that has settled on the
bindings in inches. ;)

The gimp-perl binding is in need of a lot of TLC. It really needs a complete
overhaul. It has not been kept up-to-date with changes in GIMP. I have too
many other projects on my plate so I haven't touched the Perl binding in a
long time.


Isn't script-fu the _primary_ scripting language for gimp? How comes
that python, which is working on top of the primary language can be more
 reliable than the primary language?


Script-Fu has been part of GIMP for many years. Whatever operating system
you are running when you use GIMP, Script-Fu is there. Other bindings, such 
as Python, rely on external programs or packages (e.g. a Python 
interpreter). Some operating systems ship with Python already installed and 
some do not (or have not in the past). That has been addressed in some cases 
by the GIMP installer including the option to install Python if a user needs it.


The Python, Perl, and Ruby language bindings (to name three bindings) do not 
operate on top of Script-Fu. They are completely independent of Script-Fu. 
Any language binding can still invoke a procedure supplied as part of 
Script-Fu if desired.



Maybe my best bet would be cl-magick? Unfortunately, all the links on
http://common-lisp.net/project/cl-magick/ seem to be dead :-(


The top two links from a simple search using Google returned:

Re: [Gimp-user] making a plug-in (bridge 2 programs)

What goes beyond getting the SDK...which I've been told more then enough times

I looked at a YouTube video about the Photoshop bridge. Based on what I saw 
you will need a plug-in for both DAZ Studio and GIMP. The two plug-ins need 
to be able to communicate with each other.


The GIMP plug-in needs to be able to obtain a list of textures available in 
the currently loaded DAZ scene, load the selected images in to GIMP, and 
have GIMP pass the modified image back to DAZ.


The main issue is working out the user interaction for the plug-ins. You 
need to work out how you will have the two programs communicate with each 
other to get the image list, and pass image data back and forth. You will 
have to learn how to use the SDK to issue commands to DAZ and get the data 
you need from the scent that you want to pass to GIMP.


That was as far as I looked at the bridge related videos. There was supposed 
to be a follow up video for more that you could do with the bridge but I 
didn't see that video as I couldn't find it.
