Hi I use Gimp just for 2 things. - resizing pictures to a standard format - filters - decor - fuzzy border (each time same border) Can I make a script what does this for me ? tia Paulx

Yes. Resizing is easier with ImageMagick. I use some scripting with the making of wallpapers. http://houghi.org/script/00_personal_scripts/wallpaper_maker does the following. It takes an image, makes it the right height, puts a fuzzy border around it and then puts a deeper nrder around that. It also takes the name and puts it on it. A sample of how it will look http://houghi.org/shots/slides/wppbr_scp_004_celebrities_elisha_cuthbert_02.php Now I don't expect people to be able to read the script, let alone understand it. I have not looked at it for a few years, so I probably would do it a bit different now. So again, use something else for the resize. Imagemagick is much easier and proably faster as well. Even the extra border I do with ImageMagick. I use fuzzy.pl Apparently the old maintainer does not have it on its website anymore so I just put it up. http://houghi.org/script/fuzzy.pl Go to "call the fuzzy border script with parameters" where you can change the parameters. For a different effect like http://houghi.org/shots/slides/Jessica6.php I use http://houghi.org/script/00_personal_scripts/wpm_photo Instead of the perl script, I directly use the GIMP batch mode. To make the 'photo' I need 3 parameters. The filename, the name of the image and the number of the photo. Simpel example: #!/bin/bash FILE=$1 NAME="Fuji Color" NUM=27 gimp --batch-interpreter plug-in-script-fu-eval -i -b '(batch-slide "'$FILE'" "'"$NAME"'" "'"$NUM"'")' -b '(gimp-quit 0)' The shadow effect is even easier. By this time the filename os temp.png gimp --batch-interpreter plug-in-script-fu-eval -i -b '(batch-drop-shadow "temp.png")' -b '(gimp-quit 0)' So basicaly it is build up as follows # first the part to call the script gimp --batch-interpreter plug-in-script-fu-eval -i -b '( # Next the name with batch in front of it, together with the parameters # you can edit batch-drop-shadow "temp.png" #Then the closing and ending of the batch call )' -b '(gimp-quit 0)' And let me repeat myself again. Look at ImagaMagick That can do a LOT for you much easier and faster then using Gimp in scriting. Use the best tool at the best moment. houghi -- Let's not be too tough on our own ignorance.

This does not seem to work anymore on my openSUSE 11.0. So I was trying
to put it in just like I did with the other things, but I get a lot of
errors.
I do:
gimp --batch-interpreter plug-in-script-fu-eval -i -d -b
'(script-fuzzy-border file.jpg)' -b '(gimp-quit 0)'
All on one line. That gives me (almosy obviously) the error "batch
command: experienced an execution error." because I have not added the
correct parameters.
I have looked at http://www.lemur.com/dmm/culch/scriptsfu/index.html
I have looked in Xtns, Script Fu,. Script Fu Console
I have looked in
I have gone as far as
gimp --batch-interpreter plug-in-script-fu-eval -i -d -b
'(script-fuzzy-border heidi_hanson_20080921_0155.jpg 0 \'(255 255 255)
\'(16 1 200 1 10 0 1) TRUE \'(4 1 16 0.25 5 2 0) FALSE \'(100 0 100 1 10
0 0) TRUE TRUE )' -b "(gimp-quit 0)"
bash: syntax error near unexpected token `('
And then I started looking for the other things and some gave errors as
well:
houghi@pasta : gimp --batch-interpreter plug-in-script-fu-eval -i -b
'(batch-drop-shadow "heidi_hanson_20080921_0155.jpg")' -b '(gimp-quit
0)'
batch command: experienced an execution error.
Things that worked before stopped working (again)
This sucks heavily. For now each version of GIMP I had to re-invent the
wheel all over again. :-(

In fact wether the image >exists or not is irrelevant of the outcome. I have used gimp's batch processing only slightly, so I'm no expert on this. But there is at least one obvious problem, which quite general in scope too. You are using the batch mode to execute a scheme script that operates on a previously loaded image. The scheme script was written be a menu option available for interactive users, and does nothing to load such an image. Note that "foo.png" is not an image, it is a *file*, and the "script-fu-fuzzy-border" function requires an image for the first argument. (I can't relate argument list in the example command above to the argument list required by script-fu-fuzzy-border.) To use the "script-fu-fuzzy-border" function in batch mode you need to first execute the required gimp functions to load an image by reading one from a file. That could be done with prior -b options specifying one or more gimp functions that would accomplish whatever is required to have gimp in a state that allows 'script-fu-fuzzy-border' to work. Or, the most likely way to accomplish that is to write a separate script that calls all of the functions in order, and use that in the command line with the -b option rather than having -b options for each function needed. That is generally true of *every* function available via the batch processing. It is either a script written to be executed as a batch, or it needs one to be used. If I remember right there was mention in this thread previously of the best example available on the the WEB for how to do that, which is the one that does Unsharp Mask. In addition, the two Unsharp Mask example scripts for use in batch mode have another characteristic that needs to be addressed as part of the learning curve for writing batch mode scripts. The simple one is just that, too simple! It loads one file, applies USM, and writes the file back to disk. Two problems... you just lost your original file, and if the applied USM is not exactly correct, you had better have backup! That of course can be handled manually outside of the gimp script, but you do need to know about it and avoid working on unique image files that are not backed up. The second problem is that the script does only one file, and that means gimp must be loaded for every file the script is executed on, which makes it horribly slow for any number of files larger than a handful. Usually a large number of files is the exact reason a script is written, so that is an important deficit. What it means in simple terms is that the "simple" script is good for learning, but it is not of much value for production. The second variation, which will operate on multiple files as specified on the command line, is the one use as a starting point to build your own batch scripts. -- Floyd L.

OK, I am again loosing several hours over this. I start with
http://www.gimp.org/tutorials/Basic_Batch/ and that works.
What I see there is absolutely no serious attempt to explain anything.
It is more a 'How to drive a car? You step in and drive away.' type of
thing. Pity to see that sch a thing where the GIMP could beat anything
is so neglected. :-( Anywah ..
I see two places where things are defined. The first is the define of
simple-unsharp-mask. The second is the plug-in-unsharp-mask.
Let me look at the first thing. There I see respectivaly filename,
radius, amount and threshold. Those are used as well in the commandline
with "foo.png" 5.0 0.5 0.
However when I look in Xtns, I see much more parameters. With a lot of
trial and error I was able to make a sharpen script that worked.
So I then try to re-write it for the fuzzy border and get to the
following:
(define (border-fuzz filename
color
value
toggle
value
toggle
value
toggle
toggle
)
(let* ((image (car (gimp-file-load RUN-NONINTERACTIVE filename
filename)))
(drawable (car (gimp-image-get-active-layer image))))
(script-fu-fuzzy-border RUN-NONINTERACTIVE
image drawable
color
value
toggle
value
toggle
value
toggle
toggle
)
(set! drawable (car (gimp-image-get-active-layer image)))
(gimp-file-save RUN-NONINTERACTIVE image drawable filename filename)
(gimp-image-delete image)))
As command I give the following on one line:
gimp -i -b '(border-fuzz "foo.png" (0;0;0) 50 0 50 0 0 0 0)' -b
'(gimp-quit 0)'
It tells me it is successfull and nothing happens. I have no idea where
I am going wrong as there is no documentation available. I also doubt
that I am the only person in the world wjo wants to use gimp in a script
mode. So please can somebody show me what it must be instead of what I
have. No explanation, just the raw code. I can then try to fugure out
myself what I am doing wrong and apply it to other things.
I will then probably even write it all down for others to use.

That simply *cannot* be true. Your argument list has
nothing to do with the require arguments of the function
you are calling. And there is no code in that function to
load an image from a file.
It *cannot* work.

You have to *read* the rest of the article you are
responding to one line at a time, multiple times if
necessary, until you *understand* the entire article.
Do that *before* asking stupid questions about each line
that are answered on the next line or in the next
paragraph.

What can anyone say? Maybe this just isn't something
you are cut out to do. I can't compose music, or even
play it, and if I asked questions like yours of a
composer I'd expect to be told to go do something like
programming...
Maybe you should compose music! :-)
Here's the script you need to batch process fuzzy borders.

; Batchfuzzy is copyright 2008 by Floyd L. Davidson, floyd@apaflo.com.
; Script-fu-fuzzy-border is defined in fuzzyborder.scm, which is
; copyright by Chris Gutteridge, cjg@ecs.soton.ac.uk.
;
; This file should be placed in directory ~/.gimp-2.4/scripts with
; a filename that ends with ".scm".
;
; GIMP is then called from the command line to process all files
; that fit the specified pattern. Command line syntax is:
;
; gimp -i -c -d -b '(batch_fuzzy_border "pattern" "color" \
; border_size toggle_blur granularity \
; toggle_shadow percent_shadow)' -b '(gimp-quit 0)'
;
; "pattern" : a regular expression pattern specifying files
; (example: "*.jpg")
;
; "color" : color of the border
; (example: "pink")
;
; border_size : border size in pixels
; (example: 20)
;
; toggle_blur : blur toggle, 1/0 or TRUE/FALSE
; (example: TRUE)
;
; granularity : granularity, 1 or more where 1 is low
; (example: 4)
;
; toggle_shadow : toggle shadow, 1/0 or TRUE/FALSE
; (example: TRUE)
;
; percent_shadow: percent of border that is shadowed
; (example: 75)
;
; A typical example of a command line to invoke this program is:
;

That means that even when I do a LOT of them in one run, each color and thus the gimp command line will be different. Anyway, thanks all.

After you've resized for web with ImageMagick, do you sharpen?
I haven't used it for that yet. Does it have smart-sharpen type
capabilities?

Yes. Resizing is easier with ImageMagick. I use some scripting with the making of wallpapers. http://houghi.org/script/00_personal_scripts/wallpaper_maker does the following. It takes an image, makes it the right height, puts a fuzzy border around it and then puts a deeper nrder around that. It also takes the name and puts it on it. A sample of how it will look http://houghi.org/shots/slides/wppbr_scp_004_celebrities_elisha_cuthbert_02.php Now I don't expect people to be able to read the script, let alone understand it. I have not looked at it for a few years, so I probably would do it a bit different now. So again, use something else for the resize. Imagemagick is much easier and proably faster as well. Even the extra border I do with ImageMagick. I use fuzzy.pl Apparently the old maintainer does not have it on its website anymore so I just put it up. http://houghi.org/script/fuzzy.pl Go to "call the fuzzy border script with parameters" where you can change the parameters. For a different effect like http://houghi.org/shots/slides/Jessica6.php I use http://houghi.org/script/00_personal_scripts/wpm_photo Instead of the perl script, I directly use the GIMP batch mode. To make the 'photo' I need 3 parameters. The filename, the name of the image and the number of the photo. Simpel example: #!/bin/bash FILE=$1 NAME="Fuji Color" NUM=27 gimp --batch-interpreter plug-in-script-fu-eval -i -b '(batch-slide "'$FILE'" "'"$NAME"'" "'"$NUM"'")' -b '(gimp-quit 0)' The shadow effect is even easier. By this time the filename os temp.png gimp --batch-interpreter plug-in-script-fu-eval -i -b '(batch-drop-shadow "temp.png")' -b '(gimp-quit 0)' So basicaly it is build up as follows # first the part to call the script gimp --batch-interpreter plug-in-script-fu-eval -i -b '( # Next the name with batch in front of it, together with the parameters # you can edit batch-drop-shadow "temp.png" #Then the closing and ending of the batch call )' -b '(gimp-quit 0)' And let me repeat myself again. Look at ImagaMagick That can do a LOT for you much easier and faster then using Gimp in scriting. Use the best tool at the best moment. houghi -- Let's not be too tough on our own ignorance.

This does not seem to work anymore on my openSUSE 11.0. So I was trying

I do:

All on one line. That gives me (almosy obviously) the error "batch

In fact wether the image >exists or not is irrelevant of the outcome. I have used gimp's batch processing only slightly, so I'm no expert on this. But there is at least one obvious problem, which quite general in scope too. You are using the batch mode to execute a scheme script that operates on a previously loaded image. The scheme script was written be a menu option available for interactive users, and does nothing to load such an image. Note that "foo.png" is not an image, it is a *file*, and the "script-fu-fuzzy-border" function requires an image for the first argument. (I can't relate argument list in the example command above to the argument list required by script-fu-fuzzy-border.) To use the "script-fu-fuzzy-border" function in batch mode you need to first execute the required gimp functions to load an image by reading one from a file. That could be done with prior -b options specifying one or more gimp functions that would accomplish whatever is required to have gimp in a state that allows 'script-fu-fuzzy-border' to work. Or, the most likely way to accomplish that is to write a separate script that calls all of the functions in order, and use that in the command line with the -b option rather than having -b options for each function needed. That is generally true of *every* function available via the batch processing. It is either a script written to be executed as a batch, or it needs one to be used. If I remember right there was mention in this thread previously of the best example available on the the WEB for how to do that, which is the one that does Unsharp Mask. In addition, the two Unsharp Mask example scripts for use in batch mode have another characteristic that needs to be addressed as part of the learning curve for writing batch mode scripts. The simple one is just that, too simple! It loads one file, applies USM, and writes the file back to disk. Two problems... you just lost your original file, and if the applied USM is not exactly correct, you had better have backup! That of course can be handled manually outside of the gimp script, but you do need to know about it and avoid working on unique image files that are not backed up. The second problem is that the script does only one file, and that means gimp must be loaded for every file the script is executed on, which makes it horribly slow for any number of files larger than a handful. Usually a large number of files is the exact reason a script is written, so that is an important deficit. What it means in simple terms is that the "simple" script is good for learning, but it is not of much value for production. The second variation, which will operate on multiple files as specified on the command line, is the one use as a starting point to build your own batch scripts. -- Floyd L.

OK, I am again loosing several hours over this. I start with
http://www.gimp.org/tutorials/Basic_Batch/ and that works.
What I see there is absolutely no serious attempt to explain anything.
It is more a 'How to drive a car? You step in and drive away.' type of
thing. Pity to see that sch a thing where the GIMP could beat anything
is so neglected. :-( Anywah ..
I see two places where things are defined. The first is the define of
simple-unsharp-mask. The second is the plug-in-unsharp-mask.
Let me look at the first thing. There I see respectivaly filename,
radius, amount and threshold. Those are used as well in the commandline
with "foo.png" 5.0 0.5 0.
However when I look in Xtns, I see much more parameters. With a lot of
trial and error I was able to make a sharpen script that worked.
So I then try to re-write it for the fuzzy border and get to the
following:
(define (border-fuzz filename
color
value
toggle
value
toggle
value
toggle
toggle
)
(let* ((image (car (gimp-file-load RUN-NONINTERACTIVE filename
filename)))
(drawable (car (gimp-image-get-active-layer image))))
(script-fu-fuzzy-border RUN-NONINTERACTIVE
image drawable
color
value
toggle
value
toggle
value
toggle
toggle
)
(set! drawable (car (gimp-image-get-active-layer image)))
(gimp-file-save RUN-NONINTERACTIVE image drawable filename filename)
(gimp-image-delete image)))
As command I give the following on one line:
gimp -i -b '(border-fuzz "foo.png" (0;0;0) 50 0 50 0 0 0 0)' -b
'(gimp-quit 0)'
It tells me it is successfull and nothing happens. I have no idea where
I am going wrong as there is no documentation available. I also doubt
that I am the only person in the world wjo wants to use gimp in a script
mode. So please can somebody show me what it must be instead of what I
have. No explanation, just the raw code. I can then try to fugure out
myself what I am doing wrong and apply it to other things.
I will then probably even write it all down for others to use.

That simply *cannot* be true. Your argument list has
nothing to do with the require arguments of the function
you are calling. And there is no code in that function to
load an image from a file.
It *cannot* work.

You have to *read* the rest of the article you are

necessary, until you *understand* the entire article.
Do that *before* asking stupid questions about each line
that are answered on the next line or in the next

What can anyone say? Maybe this just isn't something

;
; This file should be placed in directory ~/.gimp-2.4/scripts with

; "color" : color of the border
; (example: "pink")

That means that even when I do a LOT of them in one run, each color and thus the gimp command line will be different. Anyway, thanks all.

After you've resized for web with ImageMagick, do you sharpen?
I haven't used it for that yet. Does it have smart-sharpen type
capabilities?

Yes. Resizing is easier with ImageMagick. I use some scripting with the making of wallpapers. http://houghi.org/script/00_personal_scripts/wallpaper_maker does the following. It takes an image, makes it the right height, puts a fuzzy border around it and then puts a deeper nrder around that. It also takes the name and puts it on it. A sample of how it will look http://houghi.org/shots/slides/wppbr_scp_004_celebrities_elisha_cuthbert_02.php Now I don't expect people to be able to read the script, let alone understand it. I have not looked at it for a few years, so I probably would do it a bit different now. So again, use something else for the resize. Imagemagick is much easier and proably faster as well. Even the extra border I do with ImageMagick. I use fuzzy.pl Apparently the old maintainer does not have it on its website anymore so I just put it up. http://houghi.org/script/fuzzy.pl Go to "call the fuzzy border script with parameters" where you can change the parameters. For a different effect like http://houghi.org/shots/slides/Jessica6.php I use http://houghi.org/script/00_personal_scripts/wpm_photo Instead of the perl script, I directly use the GIMP batch mode. To make the 'photo' I need 3 parameters. The filename, the name of the image and the number of the photo. Simpel example: #!/bin/bash FILE=$1 NAME="Fuji Color" NUM=27 gimp --batch-interpreter plug-in-script-fu-eval -i -b '(batch-slide "'$FILE'" "'"$NAME"'" "'"$NUM"'")' -b '(gimp-quit 0)' The shadow effect is even easier. By this time the filename os temp.png gimp --batch-interpreter plug-in-script-fu-eval -i -b '(batch-drop-shadow "temp.png")' -b '(gimp-quit 0)' So basicaly it is build up as follows # first the part to call the script gimp --batch-interpreter plug-in-script-fu-eval -i -b '( # Next the name with batch in front of it, together with the parameters # you can edit batch-drop-shadow "temp.png" #Then the closing and ending of the batch call )' -b '(gimp-quit 0)' And let me repeat myself again. Look at ImagaMagick That can do a LOT for you much easier and faster then using Gimp in scriting. Use the best tool at the best moment. houghi -- Let's not be too tough on our own ignorance.

This does not seem to work anymore on my openSUSE 11.0. So I was trying

I do:
gimp --batch-interpreter plug-in-script-fu-eval -i -d -b

All on one line. That gives me (almosy obviously) the error "batch

In fact wether the image >exists or not is irrelevant of the outcome. I have used gimp's batch processing only slightly, so I'm no expert on this. But there is at least one obvious problem, which quite general in scope too. You are using the batch mode to execute a scheme script that operates on a previously loaded image. The scheme script was written be a menu option available for interactive users, and does nothing to load such an image. Note that "foo.png" is not an image, it is a *file*, and the "script-fu-fuzzy-border" function requires an image for the first argument. (I can't relate argument list in the example command above to the argument list required by script-fu-fuzzy-border.) To use the "script-fu-fuzzy-border" function in batch mode you need to first execute the required gimp functions to load an image by reading one from a file. That could be done with prior -b options specifying one or more gimp functions that would accomplish whatever is required to have gimp in a state that allows 'script-fu-fuzzy-border' to work. Or, the most likely way to accomplish that is to write a separate script that calls all of the functions in order, and use that in the command line with the -b option rather than having -b options for each function needed. That is generally true of *every* function available via the batch processing. It is either a script written to be executed as a batch, or it needs one to be used. If I remember right there was mention in this thread previously of the best example available on the the WEB for how to do that, which is the one that does Unsharp Mask. In addition, the two Unsharp Mask example scripts for use in batch mode have another characteristic that needs to be addressed as part of the learning curve for writing batch mode scripts. The simple one is just that, too simple! It loads one file, applies USM, and writes the file back to disk. Two problems... you just lost your original file, and if the applied USM is not exactly correct, you had better have backup! That of course can be handled manually outside of the gimp script, but you do need to know about it and avoid working on unique image files that are not backed up. The second problem is that the script does only one file, and that means gimp must be loaded for every file the script is executed on, which makes it horribly slow for any number of files larger than a handful. Usually a large number of files is the exact reason a script is written, so that is an important deficit. What it means in simple terms is that the "simple" script is good for learning, but it is not of much value for production. The second variation, which will operate on multiple files as specified on the command line, is the one use as a starting point to build your own batch scripts. -- Floyd L.

OK, I am again loosing several hours over this. I start with
http://www.gimp.org/tutorials/Basic_Batch/ and that works.
What I see there is absolutely no serious attempt to explain anything.
It is more a 'How to drive a car? You step in and drive away.' type of
thing. Pity to see that sch a thing where the GIMP could beat anything
is so neglected. :-( Anywah ..
I see two places where things are defined. The first is the define of
simple-unsharp-mask. The second is the plug-in-unsharp-mask.
Let me look at the first thing. There I see respectivaly filename,
radius, amount and threshold. Those are used as well in the commandline
with "foo.png" 5.0 0.5 0.
However when I look in Xtns, I see much more parameters. With a lot of
trial and error I was able to make a sharpen script that worked.
So I then try to re-write it for the fuzzy border and get to the
following:
(define (border-fuzz filename
color
value
toggle
value
toggle
value
toggle
toggle
)
(let* ((image (car (gimp-file-load RUN-NONINTERACTIVE filename
filename)))
(drawable (car (gimp-image-get-active-layer image))))
(script-fu-fuzzy-border RUN-NONINTERACTIVE
image drawable
color
value
toggle
value
toggle
value
toggle
toggle
)
(set! drawable (car (gimp-image-get-active-layer image)))
(gimp-file-save RUN-NONINTERACTIVE image drawable filename filename)
(gimp-image-delete image)))
As command I give the following on one line:
gimp -i -b '(border-fuzz "foo.png" (0;0;0) 50 0 50 0 0 0 0)' -b
'(gimp-quit 0)'
It tells me it is successfull and nothing happens. I have no idea where
I am going wrong as there is no documentation available. I also doubt
that I am the only person in the world wjo wants to use gimp in a script
mode. So please can somebody show me what it must be instead of what I
have. No explanation, just the raw code. I can then try to fugure out
myself what I am doing wrong and apply it to other things.
I will then probably even write it all down for others to use.

That simply *cannot* be true. Your argument list has
nothing to do with the require arguments of the function
you are calling. And there is no code in that function to
load an image from a file.
It *cannot* work.

You have to *read* the rest of the article you are
responding to one line at a time, multiple times if
necessary, until you *understand* the entire article.
Do that *before* asking stupid questions about each line
that are answered on the next line or in the next
paragraph.

What can anyone say? Maybe this just isn't something
you are cut out to do. I can't compose music, or even
play it, and if I asked questions like yours of a
composer I'd expect to be told to go do something like
programming...
Maybe you should compose music! :-)
Here's the script you need to batch process fuzzy borders.
; batchfuzzy.scm
;
; Apply script-fu-fuzzy-border as a batch process.
;
; Batchfuzzy is copyright 2008 by Floyd L. Davidson, floyd@apaflo.com.
; Script-fu-fuzzy-border is defined in fuzzyborder.scm, which is
; copyright by Chris Gutteridge, cjg@ecs.soton.ac.uk.
;
; This file should be placed in directory ~/.gimp-2.4/scripts with
; a filename that ends with ".scm".
;
; GIMP is then called from the command line to process all files
; that fit the specified pattern. Command line syntax is:
;
; gimp -i -c -d -b '(batch_fuzzy_border "pattern" "color" \
; border_size toggle_blur granularity \
; toggle_shadow percent_shadow)' -b '(gimp-quit 0)'
;
; "pattern" : a regular expression pattern specifying files
; (example: "*.jpg")
;
; "color" : color of the border
; (example: "pink")
;
; border_size : border size in pixels
; (example: 20)
;
; toggle_blur : blur toggle, 1/0 or TRUE/FALSE
; (example: TRUE)
;
; granularity : granularity, 1 or more where 1 is low
; (example: 4)
;
; toggle_shadow : toggle shadow, 1/0 or TRUE/FALSE
; (example: TRUE)
;
; percent_shadow: percent of border that is shadowed
; (example: 75)
;
; A typical example of a command line to invoke this program is:
;
; gimp -i -c -d -b '(batch_fuzzy_border "*.jpg" "pink" 40 \
; TRUE 10 TRUE 50 )' -b '(gimp-quit 0)'

That is not how to do it. I indeed do have a problem comprehanding many things. >>I think the sample script is lousy for learning.

I think that is a rather eletist aproach and sounds as to blaming the student for not learning instead of blaming the teacher for not teaching. > Maybe you should compose music! :-) Nah, I stick to scripting. Some of the things I have done is used by amny thousands of people. I doubt that many people would ever be willing to listen to my musical skills. I know I don't. > Here's the script you need to batch process fuzzy borders. <snip> > ; A typical example of a command line to invoke this program is: > ; > ; gimp -i -c -d -b '(batch_fuzzy_border "*.jpg" "pink" 40 \ > ; TRUE 10 TRUE 50 )' -b '(gimp-quit 0)' <snip> Thanks, Great. I will try this out as well when I get home. Just one question. Instead of "pink" I should be able to use something like \'(100 100 100) right? houghi -- The whole principle [of censorship] is wrong.

Together with the other posting I should be able to make other things work as well. Just to clarify: even though it is good to see how it is possible to use *.jpg, I won' be using it that way. What I do is first calculate the avareage color for an image and then I use that for the rest of the script. That means that even when I do a LOT of them in one run, each color and thus the gimp command line will be different. Anyway, thanks all. I can now concentrate on doing something like http://www.photoshopessentials.com/photo-effects/photo-borders-displace/ and other neat effects for wallpapers. houghi -- The whole principle [of censorship] is wrong.

After you've resized for web with ImageMagick, do you sharpen?
I haven't used it for that yet. Does it have smart-sharpen type
capabilities?
