GIMP Plugin Registry

This GIMP script adds an old paper effect to the image. It is based off of the tutorial by RobA at http://forum.cartographersguild.com/showthread.php?533-Tutorial-Creating...

Seperate layers are added so the image can be fine tuned after the script is run.

With this script you can give a 3D effect to a text in a text-layer. It is based on the Bump project script that is already in the standard GIMP. When started, you can adapt the depth and he direction of the 3D effect.It will create a new layer, behind the text-layer, that will contain the 3D effect.

This will try to "guess" intermediate pixels from surrounding ones using a simple algorithm. It works with weighted averages and it can calculate slopes (the rate the intensity changes, horizontally and vertically). It may be a little slow.

You can have separate input and output masks. Be careful because it will use the first extra "channel" as the input mask. The selection is the output mask.

FIL (Film Imitation Lab) is a powerful script for old photo simulation. FIL has a modular architecture.

Current version: v1.6.0 (August 2010).

Features:

• Old color simulation by using prepaered color processes
• Film grain
• Vignette simulation
• Defect lenses simulation
• Option indication
• Batch script execution

This script produces a two colors border. You can choose the border width in % of the smallest image dimension, and the inner border width as a % of the whole border (and the colors, of course).
This can seem a bit complicated, but if you have pictures of different sizes and want a same-looking border, % will get you there.

Just remove .txt from the filename after downloading the script (don't know why it was added..)

Basic script to create a template for a 4 panel comic page. All Panels are the same size based on page size and 2X2 layout with a 50 pixel border between them. Will do some more work on the script later to make it more flexible.

If you want the panels to be clear so you can slide you images in behind them then remove the ; from the start of line 39
; (gimp-edit-clear layer)

once installed you can find the script on the filter menu (should be down near the bottom).

This little bit of Script-Fu converts all images of a specified extension in a single folder to greyscale .gbr files. script-fu popup prompts you for the folder containing the images, and which extension to filter on.

Brushes are created in the same folder as the images, using the original filenames (but with .gbr as the extension instead of frex. .jpg).

Tested in Windows XP with GIMP 2.6 - not tested in other environments or versions, but as this script is very bare bones, it should work on any GIMP version from at least 2.2 up (not sure about earlier).

This was an attempt to get an effect similar to the Photoshop "Water Ripple" filter. There are three modes of displacement map, one based on scaled plasma noise, one based on clouds (perlin noise) and one based on the image edges.
Everything else is at the default settings, but you can also adjust the scaling and fade.

This plug-in prompts for a directory then exports your channels as individual PNG files. This could be useful for preparing artwork for screen printing (silkscreen).

How to use:
1. Open the channels dialog
2. Create a new channel, selecting opacity and fill color
3. Perform creation/editing on channel
4. Repeat steps 2 and 3 as needed.
5. Run the filter

Remove the ".txt" extension from the file, and linux users be sure to flag the file as executable.  read more »

This plugin allows you to unseparate (recombine) individual PNG files (up to 6 files) and preview them in GIMP as they would be printed - for example on a 6-color silkscreen press. This is useful when preparing 1-color screens in GIMP or other programs, since you can get a reasonable representation of how they will look when printed atop one another.

This plug-in requires Python. Please do not ask how to install Python support for GIMP - search the forum (I'm looking at you, windows users ;)  read more »
