layer

Adaptive layer background

This script creates a background for the given layer, containg some kind of color gradient, but adaptive to the layer’s contents.

divide-layer

About

Divide the currently active layer into subsections of specified width&height (pxs). New layers containing subsections are appended to the active image's layer list. The new layers are labeled "(<x>,<y>)" in the new co-ordinate system.

Please see the readme included in the attached file for installation instructions.

note:
The new co-ordinate system begins (0,0) in the top-left hand corner and moves left-to-right, top-to-bottom.
<x> represents row
<y> represents column

Dodge & Burn layer

This simple script add a new layer on top of the image filled with neutral grey and in overlay mode. You can use this layer with the dodge and burn tool to work on shadows and highlights without destroying datas.

Quick sketch RGB

I modified the script quick-sketch.scm of tuxcomputers, so it does not transform the image into grayscale, but leave the image in RGB mode.

The location of the script is "Script Fu / Artistic / Quick Sketch RGB"

Layer to selection (select layer bounds)

Adds a new menu item

Select→Layer to selection

which creates a selection that exactly matches the boundaries of the current layer.

Scale and move layer to canvas (layer-cover-image)

Adds a menu option

Layer→Scale and move layer to canvas

which scales the layer to canvas size, and moves it so it exactly covers the canvas.

Group change font

Change font and font size of all text layers within a group.

Group offset

It's basically the same as Layer > Transform > Offset, except it works on layer groups.

Layer via Copy/Cut

GIMP 2.8 Python Plug-in.
Copy and move the selected area to a new layer in the same position.

This function is similar to the functions with the same names in Photoshop, and more powerful. Unlike them, it can copy/cut content, not just from one layer, but also from the layer groups.
In Photoshop, this is not possible :)

Installation Instructions:
1. Close GIMP if it is open.

Show Layer Information

This small script shows some information related to the current selected layer. This info includes:

- The layer's name
- The layer dimensions (in pixels)
- The layer offset respect the origin of the whole image (in pixels)

You can go to View->Layer info menu option to show the layer information window. The window stays on top, so the user can switch between the different layers of the image to inspect their values easily.
