[Bug 41759] Re: Alien Glow effect crops too tightly
this has been opened by 2 years now and nobody has sent it upstream, i'm closing this report feel free to re open it if you send it upstream and can give us the link to that report. thanks. ** Changed in: gimp (Ubuntu) Status: Incomplete = Invalid ** Changed in: gimp Status: New = Invalid -- Alien Glow effect crops too tightly https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/41759 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is a direct subscriber. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

Still an issue? may someone forward it upstream at bugzilla.gnome.org ? for forwarding instructions please have a look to https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Bugs/Upstream/GNOME ; leaving this as incomplete until that, thanks. ** Changed in: gimp (Ubuntu) Assignee: (unassigned) = Ubuntu Desktop Bugs (desktop-bugs) Status: Confirmed = Incomplete -- Alien Glow effect crops too tightly https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/41759 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is a direct subscriber. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
[Bug 41759] Re: Alien Glow effect crops too tightly
It's a workaround, but I would still consider this a bug. I was in fact toying with the idea of changing the code so it doesn't crop. I'm not a seasoned Scheme hacker but it doesn't seem too hard at all. (a) change the core function so it accepts an additional parameter nocrop. For backward compatibility reasons, make this negated (nocrop rather than, say, crop) and optional. Make the cropping code conditional: (when (not nocrop) (... do it ...) (b) correspondingly change the user-friendly functions so that the alpha effect never crops, and the regular one does, just like before. -- Alien Glow effect crops too tightly https://launchpad.net/bugs/41759 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
[Bug 41759] Re: Alien Glow effect crops too tightly
marking as wishlist but design decision should be discussed upstream, desktop team members don't use gimp a lot and we are not likely to discuss upstream behaviour, if they decided to make the function apply to a layer that's probably because it makes sense for people working with gimp or for upstream.

[Bug 41759] Re: Alien Glow effect crops too tightly
It looks like those effects apply to the text selection and not to the image, might be the intended behaviour.

[Bug 41759] Re: Alien Glow effect crops too tightly
The Alien Glow effect crop the image to the selected layer size. To avoid cropping before applying alien glow make the layer you want the effect to act on the same size as the image, to do this right click on the layer in the layer pane and select layer to image size. -- Alien Glow effect crops too tightly https://launchpad.net/bugs/41759 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

[Bug 41759] Re: Alien Glow effect crops too tightly
Just for clarification, this is with the Script-Fu Alpha to Logo Alien Glow thingy. I noticed there is another copy of it with slightly different parameters in Xtns Script-Fu Logos which seems to work just fine. It asks you to input the text and font to create the logo from, and creates an entirely new unnamed document. (It doesn't allow you to specify the radius of the glow, but calculates a suitable radius on the fly.) It appears that the erroneous procedure corresponds to the function script-fu-alien-glow-logo-alpha in /usr/share/gimp/2.0/scripts/alien- glow-logo.scm but I don't really pretend to understand how this works. If I'm correct then script-fu-alien-glow-logo without the -alpha suffix should be more correct, but from there, it's still not obvious to me what should be changed or where. -- Alien Glow effect crops too tightly https://launchpad.net/bugs/41759 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

Since the sample at laku19 is intermittently unavailable, and I found a way to create a correct example, I'm uploading new samples. This one is correct, and was created by typing in fnord and selecting 128-pixel Sans Bold in the Xtns Script-Fu Logos Alien Glow ... dialog ** Attachment added: Correct image, Xtns command, 454x214 pixels http://librarian.launchpad.net/4201795/fnord-correct-xtns-454x214.png -- Alien Glow effect crops too tightly https://launchpad.net/bugs/41759 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
[Bug 41759] Re: Alien Glow effect crops too tightly
This one was created by opening a 454x214 pixel new document, typing in fnord with the text tool in 128-pixel Sans Bold, and running the Script-Fu Alpha to Logo Alien Glow ... thingy. You'll notice it was cropped down to 390x150 and that the nice glow effect is thus gnawed from the edges. Oh, both of these were still post-processed to remove the background, and exported to PNG with gamma. ** Attachment added: Incorrect image, Alpha command, 390x150 pixels http://librarian.launchpad.net/4201823/fnord-erroneous-alpha-390x150.png -- Alien Glow effect crops too tightly https://launchpad.net/bugs/41759 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

To complete the picture, here is a HTML file to display them both at the same time.
