Gimp Tools by Ofnuts

Introduction

You will find here a collection of Gimp plugins that I have written for my own use, or for my own amusement.

Downloads

The scripts can be downloaded here: https://sourceforge.net/projects/gimp-path-tools/files/scripts/

Some sample images can be found here: https://sourceforge.net/projects/gimp-path-tools/files/samples/. Layers, paths, and saved selections usually have a fairly descriptive name, so that the whole process is fairly easy to understand.

Usage notes

I like to keep my scripts simple and focused, so many scripts here only create partial results that you can further tweak and refine to achieve your own results. This makes them open to more uses than I envisioned.

Contact

I do my best to monitor the Sourceforge forums associated to this project. The help forum is open to anonymous posts.

The author otherwises hangs out on:

• GimpForums
• GimpChat
• GimpTalk

so you may ask questions there, they will likely get answered.

Python support

These filters are all written in Python and therefore your Gimp installation must have Python support. You have Python support installed if you have a "Python-fu" item at the bottom of your Filters menu.

On Linux, this is pretty much the default these days. On Windows, things may be a bit more complicated unless you use the excellent gimp-win installers. On OSX, please tell me if you know.

Installation

Copy the downloaded .py file to:

• On Windows XP: C:\Documents and settings\{your_id}\.gimp-2.6\plugins
• On Vista and Seven: C:\Users\{your_id}\.gimp-2.6\plugins
• OSX: (please tell me if you know)
• On Linux: ~/.gimp-2.6/plugins. Set the "executable" flag. Remember that by default, the leading dot in .gimp-2.6 makes it invisible.

If you run Gimp 2.7 or 2.8, replace .gimp-2.6 by .gimp-2.7 or .gimp-2.8 as necessary in the directory names above.
