Linux machines that use the X Window manager have something called xdotool that can record window inputs and replay them. I use this to do the following in Gimp 1. Alpha to select Original Image 2. Make a new layer 3. Name it Effect 4. Move it behind the original 5. Press B for Brush tool then I press a custom key binding to stroke from selection. You need to set this manually. Video Footage of it here. I am manually hitting a key to stroke. https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/ ... 232917.mp4 I hope someone makes this into a script fu that way anyone can use it. I've been doing this for a full year. |

You have a very good occasion here to learn script-fu/python-fu ![]() - The script can also do the stroking - Personally I never use "Edit > Stroke selection", because the result is usually jerky. "Select >To path" + "Edit > Stroke path" is a lot cleaner (and if the layer is a text layer, "Alpha to selection" + "Select >To path" should be replaced by "Layer > Text to path". |
