Quick sketch

This script turns a photo into an image that looks like a sketch. Clicking on the photos below will take you to larger versions.

Before:

Quick sketch - before

After:

Quick sketch - After

Changed the location of the script to be under "Script Fu / Artistic / Quick Sketch"

Automating

Hi,

Really like this script, many thanks. I'd like to write a batch process to trigger it from the command line so that it processes multiple images automatically.

Is that possible? I've tried running a test on 1 image from the command line but can't work out what parameters to pass, looking at the script it's:

theImage
theLayer
blurAmount

But I think it's failing as I don't know what to pass for "theLayer".

"C:\Program Files\GIMP-2.0\bin\gimp-2.6.exe" -i -b "(FU-quick-sketch \"C:\\pic\\2.png\" "2.png" 30)" -b "(gimp-quit 0)"

If you could advise it would be most appreciated.

Thanks,

Brian.

How to run it

I'm trying to run this and can get the help up but can't figure what to supply for arguments to get it to work. Can you provide an example? Thanks

Cant find script.

Having a problem where quick sketch doesnt show in Filters, even though I have placed the script in the correct folder. It doesnt appear to be in my plug-in browser either. Any suggestions on how I can fix this problem?

FYI

I realize this is an old post, but in case someone else has this problem of loading/finding this script *in the future* (or numerous other scripts, for that matter) first check and see if you have it loaded under FX-Foundry on your GIMP menu. It should be listed under the same Artistic menu.

You can check by going to (Help - Plug-in Browser) on the GIMP menu and checking there.

You are doing something

You are doing something wrong. Or maybe your browser does something wrong.

I've changed this script to include the necessary fix. I've also moved it to Filters / Artistic in the menus.

Looks great but getting an error on 2.6.0

when I run the script on an .xcf or .jpg image, I am receiving the following error: Quick sketch Message Error while executing script-fu-quick-sketch: Error: Bad syntax of binding spec in let* : ((layerCopy) (layerGrey (car (gimp-drawable-is-gray theLayer)))) has this script been tested with 2.6? Thanks

For GIMP 2.6, change

For GIMP 2.6, change (let* ( (layerCopy) (layerGrey (car (gimp-drawable-is-gray theLayer))) ) to (let* ( (layerCopy 0) (layerGrey (car (gimp-drawable-is-gray theLayer))) )

Um...

When I try this, I get the following error message when I refresh my scripts: Error: eval: unbound variable: < !DOCTYPE Help!

(layerCopy theImage)

Just starting to play with script-fu and this is the first script I've downloaded. Nicely done! One suggestion regarding the above modification for 2.6 is to use "layerCopy theImage" instead of "layerCopy 0". Using "0" tells the script to modify the first image opened which works fine unless you have multiple images open and you want to apply the script to something other than image 0. Using "theImage" causes the script to be applied to the currently active image (the one who's menu you used to initiate the script). Let me know if I'm missing something here (this is the first script-fu I've messed with) but for me this appears to work much better as I often work with multiple images open at the same time.

What OS are you using? I am

What OS are you using? I am using 2.6.11 on Windows. I tested this with several images open, it only gets applied to the image that is current active.

open the

Open an texteditor ( I did open gedit) Navigate to your folder where you keep your Gimp e.g /home/username/.gimp-2-6/scripts There you should open "quick-sketch.scm" replace the snippet that begins with /... (let* ( (layerCopy) ../ with the sequence suggested by the author.. Good Luck buddy.. Information wants to be free, use GNU/Linux!

Registration is optional.

Registration is optional. Just right-click on the file name (quick-sketch.scm in this case) and select "Save Target As ..." (or "Save Link As", etc. depending on which browser you're using).

Great Plugin

This would be a great plugin to mess around with to generate header images and other graphics for websites. Thanks for making it. ^_^

"how add things to gimp"

"how add things to gimp" HERE http://www.gimptalk.com/forum/beginning-with-gimp-starting-tutorial-for-... example is done for brushes but works exactly in the same way for script (AS THIS) plugin and so on

The Quick Sketch Plug-in

OK, as a layman who’s on OS X, rather than Windoze’s, that’s not really helpful. I’m assuming I put the quick Sketch plug in into Applications>Gimp.app>Contents>Rexources>share>gimp>2.0>scripts?

If you open your Preferences

If you open your Preferences dialog (under the Edit Menu), under Folders you should see a listing called "Scripts". In GIMP's default configuration, there should be two entries: one for the user's personal scripts folder (this usually ends in ".gimp-2.6/scripts") and one for the system-wide scripts folder (usually ends in "share/gimp/2.0/scripts". If you place your scripts in the system scripts folder (you will need admin privileges to do this), the script will be available to all users of your computer. It is also possible that the script will be removed if/when you re-install GIMP. If you place your scripts in the user's scripts folder, it will only be available to that user; however, it will still be there after a re-install. You might also create a new scripts folder (you can have as many as you like), and place the script in it.
