![]() This clarify effect differentiated separate areas in a picture, often, for example, subject versus background, or overlapping objects, and made them stand apart more (so the eye perceived the spatial "depth" much easier, in effect, in an instant). ![]() The way I used this filter was a bit comparable to how the Clarify effect/filter worked in some earlier version of PaintShop Pro that I had the opportunity to try out. What I needed it for was sharpening (often low resolution and quality) images of various machinery and technical products, in order to observe and understand how these complex structures worked.įor this purpose it did not matter if the result looked a bit rough. I found that sharpen worked well only for relative smallish images, like below ~ 2000px longer side, or so, and when cranked up to a high value, it provided results some may consider quite rough, not fit for professional publishing.īut I'm not a professional publisher. However the new unified filter is not without disappointments. I can imagine that from an "engineering point of view" the move seemed to make sense, because they worked using a similar concept. ![]() Mark all the layers you want to move together this way, and move one of them.Gimp 2.10 has unified the sharpen and unsharp mask filters that were two separate filters in earlier versions (both located in the Filters > Enhance submenu). To mark a layer as "linked" just click on the left of the visibilty "eye" icon for a given layer on the Layers Dialog. layer moves) performed in one such linked layer results in all linked layers being moved along with the first one. You can only have one set of linked ayers at a time, and when it first came up, it was the poor substitute for layer groups.Īll transforms or translations (i.e. Since the text bellow might help someone searching for it and ending on this question, I will just leave it here) (Sorry - at first I miseread the question, and wrote the answer bellow on how to translate (move on the canvas) a layer selection. How to trasnslate or transform multiple layers in GIMP (For frequent use, you can write these lines of code in a programming friendly text editor, and jsut paste the block - or you can search for some of my other answers where I lay the guidelines for building a full GIMP plug-in, where the code to be run becomes available as menu option) The 4 parameters passed mean the image, the layer, the layer parent (in case you want to insert it in a layer group - None is for the image), and the desired position, counting from the top. To see other possible functions, just click on the Browse button at the bottom of the Python console. So, even without any programming experience, one should be able to read these three lines - the last line is a function call. Pdb.gimp_image_reorder_item(img, layer, None, 0) (this gets a reference to the image open on the rightmost tab, and stores it in the variable named img) for layer in reversed(image.layers): Hands on: open the Python console ( Filters->Python->Console) and type in, after the > prompt: img = gimp.image_list() For each layer on the image, from bottom to top:.So, let's suppose you want to move all layers marked as "linked" (see the second half of the answer on how to link layers) to the top of the image. Unless you already know to program Scheme (script-fu), I suggest you to use the Python console for that, as it is a far-more useful language both inside GIMP, as in scriptting other applications and general computing purposes. Under filters you can get both "Python" console and the "Script-fu" console. GIMP's UI does not provide a way to reorder several items directly - but it can be done by issuing direct commands in one of the two scripting languages embedded in GIMP.
