Hi, While I'm a reasonably seasoned programmer my experiece with graphics is in the negative range, so, please, do not shot me on sight :) :)
I have a clear idea of What I need to do, but I'm unable to do it even manually, let alone program a macro to automate the task :( I need to: 1) Use the magic wand to select a region. 2) This region will be a big region with (possibly) internal sub-regions; if this is the case I need to destroy all the inner regions (i.e.: I need to preserve just the outer region, without any "holes"). 3) Clear the region to a specified colour. 4) Edit a (possibly long) string and fit it into the cleared region (eventually scaling the font to make it fit). Nice to have: - save the "original" region contents in a layer before killing it. - render the string to a different layer than the background (this would enable to see either the "old" or the "new" content simply marking the two layers visible/not-visible. I need this in order to translate some comics I scanned. I want to automatise as much as possible the process. Doing it completely manually is impossibly long (for me). Please remember that my graphics ability is zilch :( Thanks a lot for Your patience and Thanks in Advance Mauro. P.S.: Please copy directly me; I tried to subscribe to the list, but I'm unsure it worked (I didn't receive any message, yet). _______________________________________________ Gimp-user mailing list Gimp-user@lists.xcf.berkeley.edu http://lists.xcf.berkeley.edu/mailman/listinfo/gimp-user
