gimp.lua - export and edit with GIMP

|
## Description
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
This script provides another storage (export target) for darktable. Selected
|
|
|
|
|
images are exported in the specified format to temporary storage. GIMP is launched
|
|
|
|
|
and opens the files. After editing, the exported images are overwritten to save the
|
|
|
|
|
changes. When GIMP exits, the exported files are moved into the current collection
|
|
|
|
|
and imported into the database. The imported files then show up grouped with the
|
|
|
|
|
originally selected images.

## Usage
|
|
|
|
|
|
2020-12-19 03:08:09 +00:00
|
|
|
* start this script using script manager
|
2020-12-12 20:14:19 +00:00
|
|
|
* select an image or images for editing with GIMP
|
|
|
|
|
* in the export dialog select "Edit with GIMP" and select the format and bit depth for the
|
|
|
|
|
exported image
|
|
|
|
|
* Press "export"
|
|
|
|
|
* Edit the image with GIMP then save the changes with File->Overwrite....
|
|
|
|
|
* Exit GIMP
|
|
|
|
|
* The edited image will be imported and grouped with the original image
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
## Additional Software Required
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
* GIMP - http://www.gimp.org
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
## Limitations
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
* There is no provision for dealing with the xcf files generated by GIMP, since darktable doesn't deal with
|
|
|
|
|
them. You may want to save the xcf file if you intend on doing further edits to the image or need to save
|
|
|
|
|
the layers used. Where you save them is up to you.
