Hello Script Coder(s) please help me in making a new script. I know nothing about scripting. I need this way:
I frequently use perspective tool in Windows XP GIMP 2.8.10 I work with pixels to shift the image. I find it difficult to place the cursor at an arbitrary point (say 23, 15) and then moving it exactly to other point ( say 83, 36) in an image. *Coordinates available at left bottom corner* It becomes very time - consuming when it comes to shifting all the 4 corners to required location. And if zoomed, the pixel further divides into decimals making things so much worse.
I here request to please upgrade this tool which asks the user where to shift all 4 corners in perspective tool.
Lots of Thanks in advance. Looking forward to advancements in the tool

the perspective tool is easy to use, if you have something in your picture which should have vertical+horizontal lines; the important thing is to set the direction to "corrective" /backward), then you move the grid to overlay the two or more reference lines in your picture

starting from something like this and positioning the grid:

you will get this one

@ dinasset Thank You for replying.
I know this. But it becomes very time consuming when You have to make files like this one:

GIMP developers don't visit GIMP forums very often.

If you want to request a new feature, then you should use Bugzilla: http://www.gimp.org/bugs/

Try an alpha to selection on your rectangle or other object then use the perspective tool.



Use guides and snap to them.

Or you can use the http://www.arakne.es/en/dessign/gimp-gu ... merically/ guides lab plugin to get precise pixel location coordinates for two guides one verticle one horizontal. THEN use the perspective tool to snap to those guides. This plug-in will also create multiple guides with mirror as an option.

Remember when you use this plug-in the x and y coordinates are backwards in the plug-in interface.So if the GIMP image window points reads 189 and 128 you would use 128 189 in the interface for the plug-in.
