GIMP Plugin Registry

Hello all!

I'm web-developer. I use the Gimp for making a web2-widgets or for small parts of design.
Usually, my work requires frequent duplication of layers and their exact placement on the canvas. However, the Gimp does not have a tool to perform batch processing of images (layers). So, I decided to write a small plugin that solves this problem. And I did it! I hope it will useful for you....  read more »

Summary

Python-fu plugin to properly scale image, render metadata label on top of it and set it as a desktop background, designed mostly for non-interactive usage.

Plugin is created as a part of an aura project.

Details

Plugin takes a single argument - path of an image file - and then performs the following actions:  read more »

This is a Gimp plugin that uses Python to re-implement Scalex algorythm. This plugins come with an extra, Scale2Ex that combine scale2x and gimp dilate plugin.

Scale2x is real-time graphics effect able to increase the size of small bitmaps guessing the missing pixels without interpolating pixels and blurring the images.

It was originally developed for the AdvanceMAME project in the year 2001 to improve the quality of old games with a low video resolution.

The Scale2x effect was developed by Andrea Mazzoleni in the year 2001 for the project AdvanceMAME.  read more »

Resize-match-dpi is a GIMP Script-Fu script to resize or scale an image along with scaling the DPI. If we scan a 4.75″ x 4.70″ image at 300 DPI with a pixel resolution of 1425 x 1409 and we want to scale it down to 1280×1266, most programs will rescale the image but not touch the DPI. This means when the image is viewed or printed it will appear too small (4.27″ x 4.22″). This script scales the DPI to match the new pixel resolution so it will still appear as 4.75″ x 4.70″. Comments are greatly appreciated.  read more »

This plug-in is designed for batch watermarking and resizing of image files. It lets you choose the directory which contains the images, the file extension, the font, the copyright text and the options associated with the processing. Useful for photographers who upload a lot of photos on the web and don't want to watermark every single file individually. The resulting images contain between one and four instances of the copyright text (selectable as an option).  read more »

Takes an image, makes four 1/4 scale copies, and reflects them about vertical and horizontal axes to achieve a four-fold symmetry.

Note: As well as being atrociously inefficient (eg, by scaling the same image four times, instead of making copies after the first scaling), this code does substantially less than the "Small Tiles" dialog (which comes standard in Gimp in /Filters/Map)

This script brings 2 pictures to an exact overlap.
The pictures must be in 2 different layers of the same image.
Get the layer 2 with 50% transparency. This makes both pictures visible in one projection.
You have to tell the script, which 2 points have to overlap. Therefore you stroke a path with a path tool in the image including 4 points. Point 1 will be aligned with point 3 and point 2 will be aligned with point 4.
The points build one path. So you can just click the 4 points consecutively.
More description is in the file.

Updated for version 2.6. Resizing brushes is pretty much obsolete, but rotating, mirroring and inverting brushes is still useful.
