Obama "HOPE" Script

February 21, 2009 - 01:58 — elsamuko

This script generates a poster like the famous Obama "HOPE" one from Shepard Fairey.
Copy it into the scripts folder from GIMP, you will find it then under Filters -> Artistic -> Obama Hope.
If you like it, hug someone.
See also the Che Guevara Script.
An example can be found here:

Obama "GIMP"

Update 1: Seperated smoothness option to corn and smoothness with better defaults.
Update 2: Typo threshhold -> threshold.

For all scripts together, go here:

typo + similar webservice

It's great, but it should say "threshold" (typo). And I like http://obamiconme.pastemagazine.com/ as well. Nice artwork can be found at http://artculture.com/featured/obama-art-collective

what "smoothness" in italian please? And "corn size"? "frame thickness"?? Thanks

translate en/ita

smoothness= morbidezza...non esattamente sfuocatura "frame thickness"= spessore cornice "corn size"...questo è difficile, cioè è facilissimo : "dimensione granturco" o "dimensione chicco" ,il difficile è capire che vuol dire nel contesto

Help with GIMP on Linux.

I got GIMP 2.0 that comes with UBUNTU and I copied that script into /usr/lib64/2.0/plug-ins/. I have a 64 bit version so thats why I decided to put it into lib 64 instead of just lib but I cant find it in artistic menu I refreshed the scripts, so my question is did I copy it into right folder ? Is there some one that can help me with gimp on Linux ?

It goes in the "Scripts" folder

If you have it in the Plugins folder it most likely won't work, move it into the Scripts folder, instead. *.scm files are scripts not plugins.

Obama "HOPE" Script

I did open a picture and from there went to the script and apply it to the picture. The result is that, I get a yellow square color in place of the picture. I can see that the script is working well, but the result ? I can't see the image or the picture after only the yellow color. I think that I'm doing something wrong , so if you can help? thanks there,

Layers

If you open an image with several layers, the script will process only the active one, if this active layer is just empty, the result will be a yellow plate. Just open the layers dialogue (ctrl-l) and check, if you have chosen the right layer. If you apply the script on a jpg, it should work. Jpgs have only one layer.

Obama "HOPE" Script

You right photocomix, actually I wanted to know how to use it to make the photo. I'm not a designer but just want to use the script to make something for my daughter. If you can explain a bit how to use it on a photo, I will be please. Thanks.

Obama "HOPE" Script

i didn't use much this script, but i am sure it has not to give just a yellow square as result About using well i will simply open a photo in gimp, duplicate the layer so the original remain at hand, and run it, playing a bit with the possible setting but maybe writing here http://www.flickr.com/groups/gimpusers/discuss/72157614170315550/?search... you may get more tips, even from the author
