Name
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
- start this script using script manager
- 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.
