My question is.... Are there any scripts or plugins that can make comic strip book frames? Thank you in advance.

G'MIC Montage might work.
G'MIC → Arrays & tiles → Montage

I'm looking for a script or something that can do what is in the attachment.

Would this work for you?
I wrote a simple comic strip frame in codeskulptor <-- link to it.
Click triangle (the play button) to run program.
Once program is running (you might have to expand/resize the view to see the whole frame, right now i set it as 800x600).
Click on "Add frame line" to add a default horizontal frame line
Then click on any end point of the line and drag to move it around.
Once you're happy with what you've created you can right click and "View Image" or "Save Image As" like you would do to any web image.

Let me know if this works for you.

Here's a sample of what I created using the above program


If you want you can change things such as width,height,linewidth,blacklinewidth constants of the program before running the program.

If you are using a GNU/Linux system, Laidout is a rather powerful tool for publishing comics. It is not a big project -- it only has one developer but he is an artist who has created the program to help him with his artwork.

I don't draw so I can't do comics but here's what another frame might look like with some content.

It looks very nice. Thank you for creating this. So is there a download somewhere, for this script or plugin? Will this run on Windows 7/64 bit?

No download is required, it runs in your browser, if you can open it in a web browser then you should be able to run it

I appreciate you taking the time out to make this.
I would prefer it to be a script or plugin' to where i can open it up on Gimp.

yeah sorry,
i don't have enough knowledge to make it as interactive if made in Gimp...actually i don't know how i could create it Gimp.
To define where the frame lines are you might have create some sort of language or configuration which is probably not as interactive as the one i created... I don't know if there's any plug-in that can allow you to add objects and edit the object with a mouse drag...not to say that's it's impossible, I just don't know enough to create that.

It's just a webpage, after you save the created frame, you can open it in gimp fine.
Or you can right click on image then "View Image", then right click again on image and "Copy Image" and you can just directly paste that into Gimp without Saving the image first...

Gimp already has Path tool in which you can just click on points to define your frame lines and then Stroke to Path will draw that path. This webpage i created is only to help make the lines remain constant width from each other.

What you can do to is inside Gimp use the "Path" tool
to create a path that might be something like below

Then "Stroke Path" using a thick line width like 20.0 px for example

Then swap background and foreground color so that you're using White instead of black and Stroke Path again with a narrower width (ie. 18.0 px)

Now hide the path, to see your result

cool trans, that is an easier way than I have been doing it.

Molly, i didn't know this until i started thinking about how I would write a plugin for Gimp.
First I would want it to get configuration from a path, but the trick was just to draw over top with a thinner thickness and voila, no need a plug-in since drawing/editing paths is so interactive already.
I had some fun and just did a curved frame too

The new learning for me was how to use the Path tool, I had to alternate between Shift and Control to tell it when to create a new point to start a different sub-path..often I'd get it wrong and controlZ the heck out of it hehe

Yes, I sure do agree about that pesky path tool. It gets me so frustrated that I get away from it for a while before I go at it again.

Unfortunately with Gimp. Placing the picture into the shape, comes out kind of distorted. It never looks like, how it supposed too.

For example, i'm looking for something that can produce the same result as the attachment. I found this on somebody elses tumblr. It kind of looks like frame templates in comic strip form.

It's not Gimp, it's just how images physically are I think.
yeah squeezing an image into a shape will always distort it,
you'll have to selectively choose to cut images into those shape if you don't want them to distort.

I am afraid you have to manually edit it.
I thought maybe I try that effect like you've attached, here's images taken from the movie trailer of Ex Machina
The whole trick to this effect is the scanline effect

The attachment i posted earlier did have any distorted photos. The placement looked perfect on them. So..there must be a way to fit them without messing the photo up. I have been using the perspective tool to fit the photos into the comic strip frame. It's not coming out very good. I'm becoming really frustrated right now.

How did you get your photos to fit without it being distorted? It looks really good.

I just cut them to whatever shape seems fitting and move them around.
Then draw path and then stroke path then apply scan line effect.
The perspective tool is to create perspective, i don't think you should use it for what you want.

It's simple but just in case here's how,
sample image

I like the angled line along the neck so I selected an area/polygon that has her head and with one of the side going along the neck like below

Then I hit Ctrl-I to invert selection and Ctrl-X to cut it away and i am left with what i want.

Open other images as layers, so that you can move layers around and use already cut images as reference to cut other additional images.
Hope that helps.

Improved comic strip frame creator (in codeskulptor)
After writing the description about using paths, I realized that if I draw all the black thick lines first, then draw the white thinner lines it would be an improvement since it creates nice cross sections like road intersections just like how Path would work in GIMP.

Previously i was dumb and didn't do this, I drew each line a time instead of drawing all blacks and then all white so whenever there was a cross section, you'd see 2 black lines going all the way through the intersection which isn't what we want. so...

If you want give a try, I don't know which I like better this codeskulptor tool or Gimp's Path tool... Probably Gimp's Path tool

Updated: Another version <-- This version automatically snaps the endpoint being edited to nearest point on edges when you're within a 30 pixel distance from an edge.
