GIMP :: Batch Processing - Small Plain Border Around Original Image
Jan 18, 2014
I would like to repeat the following procedure on a large number of images but I am unable to find a way of batch processing to do this for me. The idea is to end up with a small plain boarder around the original image. This is to prevent any image being lost when I order prints due to cropping.
1) open image
2) copy the image
3) create a new image 0.5" larger than the original
4) paste the copied image into the larger new image
5) resize the new image to a given size for example 10x8 for printing
6) Save the image under new name or in a different folder to the original.

I would like to know which tools to improve the border of a small image after rotation. Something like sharpening.
The picture is around 25px wide. When magnified, it shows like this :
The original image pure red and pure white.
The white line, that is a ~1 px from the border is at some points too much polluted by the red color. And the red color is locally too much polluted by the white color.
There is also some aliasing that I want to remove.

I am trying to use gimp in batch mode. I can't find any examples of how to do _real_ batch processing. All the examples on the net show how to integrate into the gui.
I see that I can use the -b flag to invoke script-fu functions. But AFAICS,the script with the function definitions needs to reside somewhere in~/gimp-x.y/scripts or something.
In addition, I can't find a way to pass command line arguments to the called functions. Is there any way to define/execute functions? For example, I'd like to callsimple-unsharp-mask from [URL]........
like this:
$ call-gimp-function script.scm simple-unsharp-mask file.png 5.0 0.5 0

When using command line gimp, is it possible to use *.jpg as the file name to have it process ALL the JPEG files in a folder? I'm really actuallyinterested in a simple file format conversion with no image processingapplied, specifically svg2png conversion. I know Gimp can render svg andcan save png, and unlike the next best program ImageMagick, the Gimpactually DOES NOT GLITCH the resulting image! So I've got a folder FULL OFSVG FILES, and would like to be able to just type "gimp convert -i *.svg-outputformat png" and have have it AUTOMATICALLY convert all my svg filesto png files. Is it possible to do this with such a simple and shortcommand line? I know the above exact example command line doesn't work,cause I tried it. But is there some simillarly simple command line code Icould use with gimp to convert svg to png via rendering the svg and thensaving the image as a png?

I want to do batch processing of 460 .png files. It includes rescaling their width to 50% without interpolation, changing color mode to indexed based on a specified palette, changing color mode to RGB and rescaling their width to 200%.

advanced batch image processing. I need the following to happen to a folder of images:
1) All images in the folder are resized with constrained proportion to a width of 250px.
2.) They are then combined into one image file placed above each other in a column (literally, not layers). Each image also needs spacing between the other, about 20px
3.) This is then compressed as an 8 quality jpeg and exported as a new image.
So basically I have a folder of images that I want to convert into a long 'gallery' image with spacing between each.

Referring to the image attached, this is my question: I want to make all the blue and red in the image of one plain shade. You can see that in the image there are couple of patches of red and blue color separated by while lines. Now inside one of these colored patches (which is isolated form another patch by a combination of above mentioned white lines and the boundary of the image itself), the color is either red or blue. This color does not look uniform because this image is a scan of a painting. Hence, although the entire patch is red/blue, not every pixel in that patch is of the same shade. If I wanted to change everything inside one such region to a plain red or blue color, how can I do that? If such is the case then I will try to articulate it better. Find attached, the image.

I am a Retoucher and I have a new client that sends me 150 - 200 Real Estate photos per day. They shoot the photos so that I have 1 ambient exposure (Background Layer) and 1 flash exposure (Layer 1) which I then blend together with a recipe I designed for their look. I need to find a way to speed up the processing and although my action executes the look exactly how I need it in a very efficient manner the real time killer is the opening & layering steps.
I know this a long shot but my ideal solution would be to drag the folder of images which are sorted and/or labelled in the correct order in to a droplet and from there it processes the images one at a time but layering the files (ambient as "Background" and flash as "Layer 1"), running the action, has a stop-action on lens correction, asks me where to save, closes the image and continues to the next image.

I use gimp for image processing in my job as Forensic Questioned Document Examiner. One of the requirements when we elaborate an image is to be able to relate what modifications have been done to the image, in order to make the result reproducible.
So I was wondering: is there a feature or plugin that records all the modifications, filters, ... applied to an image (taking of course into account undos etc), and perhaps saves them into the resulting file (gimp format at least ) for later reference and inspection?

I opened a 1024x1024 image in GIMP, and manually broke it up into fully black and fully white sections. I'd like to output a file which is just a simple binary array of 8 bit numbers, such that every black pixel in the image has the value 0, and every white pixel has the value 1. This way, I can open it in my C program and then load the array into memory using the fread function.
I haven't been able to work out how to do this. I need to avoid using any files with metadata in them...And unfortunately, even the ppm format has a handful of characters at the beginning. Is there a way to do this?

We would like to use Gimp for a small set of image conversion experiments. Unfortunately, the system where we want to install and run Gimp belongs to a US Govt agency, the environment is secure and their data is extremely sensitive. So we need to get their approval before we can install Gimp. To get it, we need to provide information on whether Gimp is "US-based" or "foreign-origin". We don't have a strict definition of what either of these terms means, but I am wondering if you have encountered these questions before. Can you tell me what the geographic origin of the tool is? Do you know of any specific instances of your tool being installed at any US Govt locations with sensitive environments?

I need to add a border to an irregular object. I want to add a simple line around an object, with about 5 pixel space between the line and the object. How would I do this? Basically, I want to achieve an effect like the image below with the lines around the border of the land at the sea.

Let's say I have a picture with an ugly translucent overlay, like this:
If I have a copy of the overlay that isn't transparent (or is transparent, but doesn't have anything behind it), is there a way I could use that to remove it from the original image? One application of this would be removing UIs from video game screenshots.

I opened an image, scaled it, changed the canvas size and pasted another image into it. When I move new image below the original image (where the gray checker board is located) the new image disappears.
I finally closed everything and started over. Same results.
Now what?

If I have a picture with a transparent overlay, along with a nontransparent version of the overlay, is there a way I can remove the overlay from the original image?
One application for this would be removing GUIs from video game screenshots.

I'm using 2.8.4 on a MacBook Pro. When I create a text image with a transparent background and export as any file format, there's a white border around the ENTIRE image. A white box around the whole image. The background should be completely transparent. No border at all. Just words on a completely transparent background.

We are possibly going to start shooting volume HDR images. Time will be a factor when shooting 4 locations a day and still having to process. Is there a way to stack the images at the end of the job like an action, then when I get back to the studio, I can tweak the images?

I have many folders that contain my NEF and PSD files, all together.
I want to setup a batch process to open up JUST the PSD files and then save elsewhere as a JPEG.
How can I open just the PSD files in an action or using Image Processor Pro?
Similarly, I want to setup another batch process that will open RAW files and allow basic editing in CAmera RAW.

I have some images which I want to increase the border pixels by about 2-3pixels. Then I want to add a shadow effect. I need to do this for around 150 images. I've tried to do it via new action/record and then batch processing but its not doing the job.
Any suggestions ?

I'm going on a scrapbooking retreat this weekend and need to develop 200+ photos and upload to CVS.com. I have all my pictures in .jpg format now but I need to get the overall size of the files under 6mb to work with CVS's website.
I know that CS2 has a batch process to take the file size to certain pixel dimension but wanted to know if anyone knew a way to do it to fit overall file size vs. dimension.

I created an action to convert a file to grayscale from RGB but when used in batch processing it opens and saves the files to the specified folder without applying the mode conversion.
If I use the action on a single file it works fine.

I have a folder of about 1000 pictures that I need to resize and save for the web. Using Photoshop CS4. The originals are all JPG files, but are saved at high resolutions and sizes. But they are not uniform in size. I need to resize each to be 200 px wide @ 72 dpi, but allow the height to vary depending upon the image dimensions. I haven't used Photoshop for a number of years. I *think* I remember the ability to walk through a series of steps and record them and then batch apply to a whole folder, but can't see a way to do that now.
I do see in the Image Processor the ability to resize and save, but it doesn't allow me to set the width and leave the height empty.

I am batching both photoshop native files and attempting .Pdf files. They are both located in the same folder.
The .psd files process correctly,(converting to jpg) to .jpg file formats. But the .pdf files don't actually save. If I use the action on these files individually, the action works fine.

We are holding a conference of sorts, and we are making name tags for everyone to hang around their necks. We have a design in photoshop. We have an excel spreadsheet with everyone's name and forum. Traditionally, the name tags were juts copied and pasted by hand, which is tedious and prone to mistakes.
is there a faster way to do this? i heard something about scripts, but i have no idea where to start. does anyone have a pointer to where i can learn it? i only want to learn the bare minimum to write THIS script, as im sure it's the only script i'll ever write for photoshop.

I have 1500+ .ai files that I need to automate a batch processing of.Tried recording an action in PS, but it somehow doesn't work. Log file gives me this error message: "Error: The command "Image Size" is not currently available. (-25920)".
This error gets repeated for all other recorded actions that I've taken (I also had a "Save to web" action to export as a good quality .png file, but that action receives the same error in the log file).

I have spent hours trying to do this simple task in Gimp without luck. What I'm looking for is the border effect (without outer shadow) seen in the three embedded screenshots in this image: [URL]
In inkscape it's a matter of adding a square on top of the image with identical dimensions and making the stroke colour semitransparent and the fill colour completely transparent, but image quality suffers badly when exporting from svg to png or jpg again, and I'd prefer doing it in Gimp.
So, take image, say 100 by 100, add 1 pixel inner transparent border - how? I have seen this effect enough to suspect it's a filter option but haven't found anything in my filters.

I'm trying to use the crop tool to cut out the rectangular image, but I can't seem to get rid of the white border. I scanned in the image so its still showing the white paper around it, how do I get rid of this and just save the image portion?
