Accessibility or Automation within GIMP on Windows.
Does GIMP 2.8 have any Accessibility or Automation features similar to MSAA or UIA available in the Windows version?
I have tested the GIMP UI and only Win32 Windows are accessible, but nothing within these Windows, i.e. Menus, Toolbox buttons, etc.
If no features exist on the Windows platform, do the features exist in the Linux version?
Is there anyway to automate a few steps in photoshop 7.0, so I don't have to repeat the same step with a few incrementing values?

View 1 Replies View RelatedI'm am using Adobe Photoshop CS 2 on a 2.33 gHz Intel Core 2 Duo Mac Book Pro, running OSX 10.4.11.
So here's my situation. I'm editing a music video. I'm editing with Final Cut Pro, but I want to use filters from Photoshop. So I export every frames of my video in JPEG format and I add effects to each frame using Photoshop. I created an action to apply the CUTOUT filter on all my frames using batch automation. But here is my problem : everytime I start the process, the JPEG Options dialog opens up. I need to click "OK" on each frame for it to save to JPEG ! It seems the "Ok" to that dialog cannot be recorded by Photoshop's actions... Am I doing something wrong ? Is there a way I could automate this dialog so that I don't have to click "OK" for every single one of the 7000 frames I'm working on?
I have like 50 photos I have taken - I need to add my website URL to each of them in the lower right corner. The long way is of course to open them one by one and apply a text layer and save them one by one,
View 1 Replies View RelatedI have an action that opens a file (raw) and simply saves it to jpg. For some reason, it keeps prompting me to hit "ok" like it does whenever you save a raw file without automation. Any idea how I can get rid of that? I'd like an action that simply takes every file in a directory and saves it with no processing to a jpg.

I'm starting with the Magic Eraser (10 tolerance), then doing Layer/Matting/Defringe, and no matter what tolerance I apply there (up to 20), some white pixels remain around the edge. Very frustrating to find a happy medium process in order to batch various colors to an acceptable quality.
I am running Photoshop CS. I have many hundred documents to scan and was going to use the pre loaded "Crop and Straighten" tool under file/automate. My problem is I want to run this over a folder that will save and close, not just one image at a time.
I also want it to do an automatic save using the current file name without adding the word "copy" to it, and not have to type over the file name each time when the save option comes up with "Filename copy.tiff".
I know the Crop and straighten tool is great for putting several images on a scanner and it separating them into individual images, but this is not what I am doing, I have one scan, one document.
So is it possible to run this over a folder of 500+ documents and walk away from it, have all images save and close using the current name, and not fill the desktop up with many opened images that need to be manually closed?
using CS2...I know how to create actions and use the Batch Automation thing but not sure how or if this is possible...
I have a ton of folders in one folder. inside each folder are a bunch of TIF files. I want to create an action to run as a batch to open that TIF, convert it to JPG then save in a separate folder with the same name in another folder. Basically im duplicating what I have in one folder to another folder with one being the original TIFs and the new set being JPG, all in folders of the same names.
Basically I know how to do all of this except when I set up the batch, it seems to only allow the new JPGs to be saved in a single folder. It can pull all the TIFs using the "include subfolders" in the source section but only places the new/revised file into a single folder.
What is Automation Tools under the File menu, and why is it grayed-out?
View 1 Replies View RelatedI was wondering (I know it sounds counter intuitive) if its possible to get mac fonts to appear in windows gimp. I'm trying to redo images using gimp on a windows computer that come from .psd files created with a mac. The fonts (though Tahoma in both) don't look remotely similar because mac fonts are different from windows fonts apparently. Is there some sort of workaround I can use in gimp to make them look more similar? The mac font looks so much smoother and "full-er".....I wish i could say the same about the windows one. And yes, I am using the same size, color, and font in both images.
Here they are:

My edit
As an example I have a PNG file which I right click. The menu appears and I go to properties.
Then click on "opens with" change button. I arrive at the top half of the opens with dialog window.
Here is the bottom half of that same window.
Gimp does not appear in this dialog. So I proceed to browse for the program gimp so that I can include it [ ":\Program Files\GIMP 2\bin\gimp-2.8.exe"].
I select the gimp binary and return to the first open with dialog. Gimp is still not included in the selection dialog.
Perhaps the installation is not registering the software properly?? Previously I had earlier versions of gimp 32 bit installed and it worked properly.

View 1 Replies View RelatedI have a series of actions that copy a document, apply a colour profile, resize and then save as - so I can export as jpeg. These actions work individually but currently I have to enter a file name.
What I'd like to do be able to do is select an action which runs say three or four of those actions - say export at 600, 800, 1200 pixels dimension and also suffixes the file name with that number.. so IMG0001.JPG becomes IMG001_800.JPG, IMG001_1200.JPG etc etc.

How can I automate the process of creating Layer and attaching a file to each layer for n number of times where n is the number of my files that I want to attach in the different layers.
I need to do layer creation and attaching files to each layer more than thousand times for a particular type of file, hence want to automate the work flow.

I did a complete uninstall of GIMP 2.6. Then a complete install of GIMP 2.8. No errors during installation. When I run GIMP, Windows draws a window frame with the title "GIMP Startup" but the inside of the window remains unpainted (whatever was behind it remains visible). This window frame exists for maybe one second and then closes. I have waited a long time but nothing continues. Task Manager confirms that no application is running. I uninstalled, downloaded again, reinstalled (even just a "compact" installation), but same thing.
System Info:
Windows XP Home SP3, up to date
2 GB RAM
Paging file initial 3058 MB, max 6116 MB
Goes straight to a black box that says not responding then gets to looking for data files and then windows takes over and searches for a solution before shutting the whole works down. Takes about 30 secs.
I just installed this because 2.6 was doing the same thing.
I have a new (cheap) Lenovo Notebook that came preconfigured with Windows 8.
With some effort, I have configured it to have an administrator account and a normal user account.
Today I downloaded the latest GIMP and installed it on the administrator account. The program starts fine (albeit painfully slowly) and seems to run normally on the administrator account. However, in the normal user account, Gimp gets part way through loading and crashes as shown in this image:
what the error message: "The application has requested the Runtime to terminate it in an usual way" might mean?
i just update my Gimp to the new 2.8.6 and for some reason it keeps crashing whenever i start opening up GImp(the loading screen)! I kept uninstalling it and installing it again,but,the same crash always appears! I then restart the computer and it happens again!

Where is the profile for Gimp 2.8 in Windows? I have the hazy memory that it's going to change to be available as part of the "Roaming" profile.
I would like to know if GIMP 2.8.8 is supported by The GIMP Team for Windows 7 Operating system.
View 2 Replies View Relatedit isn't possible to install 2.8 alongside 2.6 in Windows (7 x64 in my case) at least using the pre-built windows installer?
The installer for GIMP 2.8.0 will uninstall older versions first, but youcan simply reinstall GIMP 2.6.12 afterwards.
Reason for asking is that there are a number of 2.6 plug-ins I need, and looking at the GIMP plug-in repository few indicate 2.8 compatibility. So I would need to test them myself but if they don't work I would go back to 2.6, at least for some tasks.
Old plugins should keep working - if you find any that don't, report thatas a bug (this includes 32bit plugins running on 64bit GIMP).
I installed Gimp 2.8 for Windows tonight on an XP SP3 system and it hangs for more than 30min when starting (never completes initializing). Gimp 2.8 takes 50% CPU and 184Mb RAM and sits "Gathering Data" with no further progress. I end up killing the process.
I have uninstalled and reinstalled into a fresh directory with no change. I gave up and tried to reinstall 2.6 and get almost the same issue except RAM usage goes up to 550Mb and it sits at the startup screen.
To make things easier to understand, I'll explain what I do: our sports' photography department makes photos of several sports teams, we print the photos, we put them in a basic two-sheeted album, and then send the photos to the team. As we print all the photos together, they are on a big pile and it's very difficult to sort them with the correct team name. So we take the printed photo, and compare it to all the team photos on the computer, which have the team name in the file name. So this is a very inefficient and slow process.
I was thinking of printing the photos as thumbnails on a sheet, and THEN compare them to the printed sports' photos. It's a lot easier to have a piece of paper with e.g. 10 photos to compare to than browse them on a computer.
So, again, I hope there's a way to let Photoshop put 10 thumbnails on a single sheet, and put the file name below it. All automatically (with an action?) of course.
