GIMP Plugin Scripts (Python)

Plugins I created to optimize my GIMP experience.

Motivation

While I can do all these actions manually, creating plugins and binding them to keyboard shortcuts saves time. ⏰

This is especially true when processing multiple images in a similar way.

Plugins in this repo

• Exporting the active layer as JPG
• Exporting a specific layer as JPG
• Create a new, scaled layer from visible
• Create a new, scaled layer from a specific layer
• Adding watermark/copyright text

Usage

• Pick one of the GIMP "plug-ins" directories (found in GIMP's "Preferences > Folders > Plug-Ins" list).
• Copy the ".py" files to that directory.
• Restart GIMP.
• You should be able to see the new menu items:
  • File > Export Active Layer > as JPG
  • Image > Add Watermark Text
  • Layer > Create Scaled Layer From Visible
• and the new Layer context menu items (right-clicking on a layer in "Layers" Dialog):
  • Duplicate to Scaled Layer
  • Export as JPEG
• Bonus points for adding keyboard shortcuts (in "Preferences > Interface > Configure Keyboard Shortcuts...").
