GIMP :: Paste All Layers As Images
Sep 3, 2011
I use the "Paste as new image" feature in GIMP quite a bit and I'm deeply in need of a "Paste all layers as new images" plugin now.
I need it to do exactly what I'm stating, to paste all layers in a file as new separate images.
Since one can not select multiple layers in GIMP, pasting all layers to new separate images would be okay.
I wasn't able to find this one in a search, but who knows what it is called if it exists?
Perhaps there is some sort of batch process possible, like batch processing or Actions in Photoshop.

It is my first time using Gimp and although i have figured everything i needed by myself, but i have a doubt, well im adapting a bunch of sprite work from one rpg maker engine (unknown name) to RPG Maker VX ACE, i have no problem there , the thing is that now i have 3 images that are exactly the same except from the color scheme and i was wondering if it is possible the put all them on a canvas and cut and paste the 3 layers at the same time on another canvas, something like this:
Cut
3 - - - - - - - * - -
2 - - - - - - - * - -
1 - - - - - - - * - -
Paste
3 I I I I * I I I I I
2 I I I I * I I I I I
1 I I I I * I I I I I
And after that i "pell off" each layer and get 3 pictures.
3 I I I I * I I I I I _ 2 I I I I * I I I I I _ 1 I I I I * I I I I I

Using GIMP 2.6.11 under Windows XP
Is this real? I am really amazed that there is no way to do this. Am I missing something? I have multiple images, each with a unique background layer. On top are multiple other layers, both images and text layers. I was editing one and was about to save it but then realized it was on the wrong background.
All I want to do is select four or five layers from this unsaved image with Background A, copy them and then open an image with Background B and paste them in so there will be minimal issues with alignments and such. I have been editing each of these four layers and there are a fair bit of changes that have been made to just throw them away and start over. The background is not the only difference between the images, it is just what I use as a reference so copying that over to the unsaved image would also require multiple layer copy/pasting.
I have already tried linking the layers but any copy/cut/paste seems to only work on the active layer, unless I am again missing something. This seems like a really fundamental function to not be supported.

I'm not new to GIMP by any means, but I am new to THIS Gimp. By that I mean, I recently downloaded 2.8.4 for Mac and got rid of my older copy.
Now I'm having a strange problem:
Whenever I try to copy images from webpages (or anywhere that ISN'T saved to my computer and opened in Gimp), I get a message that says "There is no data in the clipboard to paste" when I attempt to paste it into an open Gimp document.
Is there some sort of setting I have to enable?

I have three different pictures in separate files, and I want to overlay them as red, green and blue channels in a new file. (the images represent the different color channels obtained from fluorescence microscopy, and I just want them back in one picture).
I guess it´s pretty easy, but I don´t manage to get all 3 pictures into 1 as 3 separate channels.

How to take 4 images of the same size and using layers, put the images next to and on top of each other, for a very nice array of all 4 images saved as one.
Now, though, I'm attempting to do the same thing, but use images of different sizes. Unlike before, when using the "Align" function, the layers are now stacking on top of each other, instead of next to each other.
The only variable I see that is different is that all the images are no longer the same size.

Basically what I need to do is capture a video shot, and place a play button on top of it. I thought the simplest way would be to just open each image as a separate layer but couldn't find a way to do that.
Eventually I made the screen shot the background image of an html page, and the play button the foreground image. Then I was able to position them just the way I wanted and capture a screen shot, then trim and edit in Gimp.

How could I select and move two or more images (different layers) together?
Is it possible to align one image considering the position of the other?

I have scoured the net for any Script-Fu or Batch to do this, and only find old code that is no longer good for gimp 2.6. For some absolutely insane reason (as far as I am concerned), gimp has failed time and time again (since their inception) to actually make it available to export multiple images at the same time. I literally have 300 layers, and for me to crop them all and save them as images would take an entire day.
Why hasn't this been made available? Is there any code or anything I can use to accomplish this task in Gimp 2.6? Photoshop allows it, and has since its inception! Why not Gimp? Is it that difficult to create? Are there really no plugins to do this?

I'm new to GIMP. I want to use it to create/test colour (or greyscale) separations for a woodcut, but I'm finding it hard.
For example I have attached a black and white image. kirsty.JPG (84.7K)
Number of downloads: 3
I open the image in GIMP, then from Image I choose mode - indexed, 4 colours. So far so good as this gives me the 4 greyscale levels I need to create a two block woodcut. Now I use the 'select by colour' tool to find the first colour, and I paste this into a new layer. That works fine. Then I select the next colour and try to paste that into a second new layer, but it doesn't work. It produces another layer called 'Floating Selection (pasted layer)' and won't paste the second or third layers.
How can I separate the 4 layers into individual images??

how can I manage existing images, layers, ecc. with Python-Fu? Its methods don't accept IDs (unlike Script-Fu) and it returns me an error if I try to do it. More simply, how I can reference to an existing "IMAGE", "DRAWABLE", ecc. object?

I would like to use the Bash command line to open two images into GIMP, each image on a layer. The code below opens the two images into separate GIMP windows.
>> gimp image1.jpg image2.jpg
How can I open the two images into one GIMP window and two layers?

I am creating a wood grain texture that has a diffuse and bump layer. I want to paste both layers "into" a selected area of a UV map. Can this be done with both layers at the same time using "paste into"? I have tried using groups and also tried linking with "paste into" with no luck. Once pasted I also want to be able to manipulate both layers at the same time. I have searched all over and haven't found an answer. I am using CS4.

I'm trying to build a sprite image for a website based on a graphic that I created with Paint.NET.
The graphic has about 6 different layers.
To make the sprite image, I need the items in one layer to be duplicated in the exact same spots only shifted down by an integral number of the height. So, if the original image is 400px, I stretch the canvas out to 1200px. Now I want to copy each of the 6 layers and paste them exactly 400px down, then copy each of the 6 layers and paste them exactly 800px down.
I'm guessing there is a way to do something like this using the scripting ability of Paint.NET, but I have never used that feature before.

I'm currently using a free typography template.
Â
The template has 8 compositions and I'm trying to arrange the compositions to play in the order I'd like them to play.
Â
I tried copying/pasting the layers into a pre-existing composition but the text overlaps with the other text layers.
Â
I also tried to pre compose the layers and then copy/paste that into a composition but it also overlaps. Then I tried to drag it to the bottom and/or move the bar on the sequence but it won't appear when i play.

I am working on a project and when I try to copy and paste unlocked layers to paste them in to another image it doesn't paste. The only thing it pastes is the text unformatted. I tried resetting the settings by removing the setting file to see if I can set Illustrator back to square one and it isn't working. See Picture for before (copy) and After (paste)

I'm looking for a script to paste an object (paste in place) on top of all other layers in a file.
Â
I know I can position a single object on the top layer and then turn the bottom layers on and off, but for my needs (and in this situation) I need to actually paste that object onto each layer.

I am trying to create a new document with new layers, but paste in an existing floor plan since it's the shell I need to be using. When I copy clip and insert into new file, all the layers import with it. I transferred everything onto 0 layers and went into my layer manager to try and delete the extra layers and it says i cannot delete o, xref dependent, etc. I want to create my own layers, and then assign the lines in the plan myself onto the new layers.

I've been working on a project, and I created all the elements separately in JPG, gif, etc...
However, when pasting them in the final document, they look even smaller, but they should be only half the size.

I am currently trying to copy some text I entered from one text box to another text box and GIMP not allowing it. I can paste the text just fine into any other application, word, browser, etc. so I know the copy/cut function is working fine. I've even tried opening the Text Box Editor from the text box itself and no luck there.
What gives? And why does it seem like I have to jump through ten times as many hoops for basic functions as I would with another program?
I'm trying really hard not to bash on GIMP after only using it for a few days but I would be lying if I said my blood pressure is damn near through the roof.

Why doesn't CS2 photoshop do a copy paste when you want to merge 2 images liek it does in CS3 photoshop. I can never print screen the image to start off in CS2 photoshop.

What is the best way to paste an image into a background and have it blend nicely with the background to avoid jaggies.
I've been playing with the blur and smudge icon but then it depends on my eye and I lose resolution around the edges. I guess what I would want ideally is for a way to paste my image then have a slider or a way to select the amount of anti aliasing from image to background.

I've come to GIMP from PS.
So, in PS if you make a selection and past it into a new layer it ends up in exactly the same position, however if I do the same on GIMP the selection is pasted at the top left hand corner. Then it's a major pain moving it to exactly the same place as the original
Most of my workflow is doing this sort of thing so it's real problem now.

In previous GIMP versions, I was able to assign a keyboard shortcut to "paste as new layer", but I don't see that in the list of keyboard shortcuts available in 2.8. Is that option really gone? Is there some way to open it up again? My workflow is seriously shredded without that shortcut.

if i do a print screen, and then paste that into gimp, then i use the selection tool to select a small portion of the original image, how do i paste it onto a new layer that matches the dimensions of the cut out selection i copied or cut? I have been doing it the uber hard way of where i copy the selection, create new layer and keeps the same pixle dims as the original so i have had to manualy change it and guess what dims i need. takes to long. is there a way to just copy/cut and paste a selection onto a new layer that automatically fits the same dims as the selection so i do not have to keep doing it the hard way?
