I googled this because I know it existed before and did it probably from this same page: Fast Pixel Ops in GIMP-Python (
But in the example there's a missing part which is updating the destination layer after the work has been done which is found at (
) by the same author which was linked in 1st post as well but I didn't know this when working with it so spent some time fighting.
So together I created a test py that uses the above technique for fast pixel operations (code below):
Have an image with 2 layers, select the layer you want to copy or flip 2 directions, vertical and horizontal
Plug-in will allow you to choose a destination layer to have result shown on using fast pixel operations.
That's it. it's SUPER FAST like about 1 second to do on a large 2000 x 2000 or so image.
