It isn't fast, and it probably has bugs, but it was a quick script in reponse to a request at GimpTalk:

http://silent9.com/incoming/sc ... ltrans.scm

This flood-fills the transparent and semi-transparent areas of an image with the coloured part of the image. It is a quick way to get rid of semi-transparent fringing when "Transfer Alpha to Layer Mask" is checked.

When not checked it is a trippy kind of effect.

here is a sample from left to right, the original image, without the transfer checked, with the transfer checked:

The script shows up under Layer->Transparency->Flood Fill Transparency (a better name would be appreciated...)

It probably works best with the slider at 1, but for big images it will be much faster to pull this up (you just loose more of the original edge the higher it is).

Have fun with it...

Huh, what a clever idea, I'll have to try it out!

How do you collect the file? Or how do you save it?

Removing the halo fringe is a cool feature Rob, but that external fill effect is the bomb imo. Believe that should be considered a feature then something bad. Way too cool. :)

Again, way too cool, though I like your flower vase sample more. :)

Essentially. It blurs the colour out from the edges to fill the transparent space. With the checkbox selected, it just takes the original alpha layer and moves it to the layer mask. I don't have any software the flaming pear plugin will work on (it doesn't work in XNView either) so was just going by internet examples.

I've actually got a copy of PSP on my vm ware but not the flaming pear filter and I have no idea how to install it anyway.

Most cool, RobA. I've been playing with it a bit and the more colorful the image, the more fun the background turns out. Thank you.

I had PSP for a long time before I switched to GIMP and I remember the Flaming Pear plugin. I never had it but wished I did.

This is interesting using it with text. Made the text, duplicated the layer and ran the script on the bottom text layer.
Top text layer, used a drop shadow behind it.

Thanks Rod. I've decided when I post a text image in Gimp Chat, I will include the name of the font if it's not one of the standard ones and a path to the font. Easier than trying to remember the name of the font farther down the road. :hehe

The font, Saisa, was made by one of the fontmakers over in annexcafe fonts newsgroup. It's a brand new font.

This is a great way to make an interesting but uncomplicated background!

RobA could you expain the manual steps that the scripts automatize ?

We are wandering if the script may be ported to gmic (for the preview and possibility of multiple I/O ) http://www.flickr.com/groups/gmic/discu ... 157839921/ and we found hard decipher the steps from the code
