Greetings,

I am using Kubuntu (Linux) and in it Gimp, of course.
As a photographer I handle hundreds of photos a day.

Often, after cropping and setting the white balance, I do "automatically" the followings:
1. set the image size (so the with is max 700, the height is max 500)
2. set the canvas size to exactly 700x500, where the image is centered (and the background id a given color, for example black)
3. save the file

This is mechanical, and it would be nice to have a sript to do it.

Well, I am new in this filed, this would be my first script.

Please, help me ... with a script what can do the above... and some idea, how can I modify it, eventually, how may I write a new script... if and when needed...

Oh, yes... and another question.
If I have a folder full with images... and I would like to run this new sript on all of the files... how can I do it?

Thanks a lot,

Tamas

I would recommend reading about Script-fu in the GIMP Users Manual. I will provide some hints to resolving some of the specific tasks, but you will have to combine them yourself. Feel free to ask questions; I just don't wish rehash stuff that is already covered elsewhere (in particular, how to register your Script-fu in the menus).








Saving the file is better covered in other tutorials.
