How to install plug-in in Gimp on OS X

image editing

I've got the Gimp for Mac OS X installed and working in my installation of Mac OS X 10.6.4. A very important tool I need is the David's Batch Processor plugin ( http://members.ozemail.com.au/~hodsond/dbp.html ) for batch auto-adjusting contrast/brightness/colour for my images.

There are no Mac specific instructions provided on the software's website saying how to install the python-based plugin. Can anyone please teach me how to install plugins for Gimp in Mac OS X?

Best Answer

I've managed to get DBP installed on my Mac (version 10.6.8). I've made the compiled plugin available on my blog, since compiling Gimp from MacPorts took an overnight compilation session, and is way too much hassle for folks who just want to plug-n-play.

So... anyone is welcome to grab my binary as they wish. If it's useful, please comment, and if it doesn't work, please comment; in either case if you can state versions of OS X and Gimp, that will hopefully help other users trying to avoid compiling it themselves!

How to draw a curve line on Pixelmator

The best you can do in Pixelmator 1 is arcs using the oval selection tool. Select an area with the selection tool set to the circle/oval setting and then trace the selection (Edit -> Stroke) on a new layer. Once traced, erase the part of the trace you don't need. Reposition, stretch and mangle with the layer tools.

Pixelmator 2 adds vector drawing capabilities. It'll be available this summer and it will be a free upgrade for anyone who purchased Pixelmator 1 via the App Store.

Update: Pixelmator 2 was released via the App Store today and the pen tool lets you draw and manipulate curves now. Works great.

How to stitch a set of images together

You can do it with Imagemagick from a terminal. If you have Homebrew, installing it is as easy as:

brew install imagemagick

Once you have it, open the terminal and go to the folder where you have the pictures, then do:

convert foo* +append result.jpg

And there you have it, your 100 pictures in a row. You can also make a column with them, instead of +append use -append.
