I would like to use the BIMP plugin* to overlay my (hundreds of!) images in the following way. My images are named in this fashion:

Blah blah 1 - A.tif
Blah blah 1 - B.tif
Blah blah 2 - A.tif
Blah blah 2 - B.tif
Blah blah 3 - A.tif
Blah blah 3 - B.tif

I would like to create the files:

Blah blah 1 - C.tif
Blah blah 2 - C.tif
Blah blah 3 - C.tif

by overlaying image A on B using the 'Divide' image option.

The BIMP plugin is utilised via File > Batch Image Manipulation. Then, in the 'Manipulation Set' section, I click 'Add' and select 'Other GIMP procedure'. None of the many procedures contain the string 'overlay' or 'divide'. Can I procede with BIMP or doesn't it do what I'd like to do? Would writing a Fu-Script be trivial (I've never programmed a computer before, apart from once when I made a turtle move around a screen in some laughable school IT exercise).

Thanks a batch.

Edit: apparently my "post looks too spamy for a new user, [please remove off-site URLs]" so, I'm going to try and phase this link through the SPAM shield, because my post is clearly not SPAM of any sort.

Thanks. I copied my query over, but given that there are only 10 threads and some have been unanswered for over a year, my expectations aren't too high :(

Mine was answered within a few days, so I guess you might have to wait a little while.

I am not saying that it is impossible with BIMP but really that plugin is meant for single images.

The author does respond and quickly, I reported a bug once and it was acted on straight away. For various (linux) reasons I am stuck in a time warp on version 0.5 so maybe latest will do what you want.

I would say for batch processing ImageMagick would be a better bet

Code: Select all
convert image01.tiff image02.tiff -compose Divide -composite out.tif


is equivalent to two layers with the top in divide mode.

example (helps if the 2 images are the same size)

http://i.imgur.com/54oTiSO.jpg

Top is gimp with the top layer mode = divide
and the bottom is IM applied to the same images

Obviously you would need a batch/bash file depending on OS. Worth asking at the IM forum

Or you could use a bespoke script...

Code: Select all
(define (sg-batch-merge-divide directory centered)
  (let loop ((filelist (cadr (file-glob (string-append directory
                                                       DIR-SEPARATOR
                                                       "*A.tif")
                                        1 ))))
    (unless (null? filelist)
      (let* ((filename-a (car filelist))
             (filename-b (string-append (car (strbreakup filename-a "A.tif")) "B.tif"))
             (image-a (car (gimp-file-load RUN-NONINTERACTIVE
                                           filename-a filename-a)))
             (image-b (catch #f (car (gimp-file-load RUN-NONINTERACTIVE filename-b filename-b))))
             (layer-a (car (gimp-image-get-active-layer image-a)))
             (layer-b (if image-b
                             (car (gimp-image-get-active-layer image-b))
                             #f )))
        (if layer-b
          (let ((layer (car (gimp-layer-new-from-drawable layer-a image-b))))
            (gimp-image-add-layer image-b layer 0)
            (gimp-layer-set-mode layer DIVIDE-MODE)
            (unless (zero? centered)
              (gimp-layer-set-offsets layer (- (/ (car (gimp-image-width image-b)) 2)
                                               (/ (car (gimp-drawable-width layer)) 2))
                                            (- (/ (car (gimp-image-height image-b)) 2)
                                               (/ (car (gimp-drawable-height layer)) 2)) ))
            (set! layer (car (gimp-image-merge-down image-b layer EXPAND-AS-NECESSARY)))
            (let ((filename-c (string-append (car (strbreakup filename-a "A.tif")) "C.tif")))
              (gimp-file-save RUN-NONINTERACTIVE image-a layer filename-c filename-c) )
            (gimp-image-delete image-b) ))
        (gimp-image-delete image-a) )
      (loop (cdr filelist)) )))
     
(script-fu-register "sg-batch-merge-divide"
  "Merge TIF files per THX1138"
  "Merge the layers from two files in DIVIDE mode"
  "Saul Goode"
  "Saul Goode"
  "May 2013"
  ""
  SF-DIRNAME "Directory"    ""
  SF-TOGGLE "Centered" TRUE
  )
(script-fu-menu-register "sg-batch-merge-divide"
  "<Image>/File/"
  )


EDITED because I originally had B atop A.

Hi everyone, thanks for your replies.

I think I'll probably end up using ImageMagick but what about that script?; I saved it in C:\Users\Sean\.gimp-2.8\scripts as 'Auto Merge Divide.scm'. Should it appear in the GIMP filters menu?

It should appear as the command "Merge TIF files per THX1138" at the bottom of your File menu. It has only two options. You can choose whether the top image is centered relative to the bottom image (which does not matter if the two images are the same size). And you can choose the directory containing the TIF files.

How does it know which files to merge and what to name them afterwards? The reality is a lot more complicated than the problem as I introduced it :(


My file names are things like:

Exp.SS.4.4.167 - DF1 cells - With Antibiotic - Sample 1 - Brightfield - Field 1 - 2012-05-23.tif
Exp.SS.4.4.167 - DF1 cells - With Antibiotic - Sample 1 - UV green - Field 1 - 2012-05-23.tif
Exp.SS.4.4.167 - DF1 cells - With Antibiotic - Sample 1 - UV red - Field 1 - 2012-05-23.tif

Exp.SS.4.4.167 - DF1 cells - With Antibiotic - Sample 1 - Brightfield - Field 2 - 2012-05-23.tif
Exp.SS.4.4.167 - DF1 cells - With Antibiotic - Sample 1 - UV green - Field 2 - 2012-05-23.tif
Exp.SS.4.4.167 - DF1 cells - With Antibiotic - Sample 1 - UV red - Field 2 - 2012-05-23.tif

Exp.SS.4.4.167 - DF1 cells - With Antibiotic - Sample 1 - Brightfield - Field 3 - 2012-05-23.tif
Exp.SS.4.4.167 - DF1 cells - With Antibiotic - Sample 1 - UV green - Field 3 - 2012-05-23.tif
Exp.SS.4.4.167 - DF1 cells - With Antibiotic - Sample 1 - UV red - Field 3 - 2012-05-23.tif

Exp.SS.4.4.167 - DF1 cells - Without Antibiotic - Sample 1 - Brightfield - Field 1 - 2012-05-23.tif
Exp.SS.4.4.167 - DF1 cells - Without Antibiotic - Sample 1 - UV green - Field 1 - 2012-05-23.tif
Exp.SS.4.4.167 - DF1 cells - Without Antibiotic - Sample 1 - UV red - Field 1 - 2012-05-23.tif

Exp.SS.4.4.167 - DF1 cells - Without Antibiotic - Sample 1 - Brightfield - Field 2 - 2012-05-23.tif
Exp.SS.4.4.167 - DF1 cells - Without Antibiotic - Sample 1 - UV green - Field 2 - 2012-05-23.tif
Exp.SS.4.4.167 - DF1 cells - Without Antibiotic - Sample 1 - UV red - Field 2 - 2012-05-23.tif

Exp.SS.4.4.167 - DF1 cells - Without Antibiotic - Sample 1 - Brightfield - Field 3 - 2012-05-23.tif
Exp.SS.4.4.167 - DF1 cells - Without Antibiotic - Sample 1 - UV green - Field 3 - 2012-05-23.tif
Exp.SS.4.4.167 - DF1 cells - Without Antibiotic - Sample 1 - UV red - Field 3 - 2012-05-23.tif

The outputs would be:

Exp.SS.4.4.167 - DF1 cells - With Antibiotic - Sample 1 - Merged B-G - Field 1 - 2012-05-23.tif
Exp.SS.4.4.167 - DF1 cells - With Antibiotic - Sample 1 - Merged B-R - Field 1 - 2012-05-23.tif
Exp.SS.4.4.167 - DF1 cells - With Antibiotic - Sample 1 - Merged B-G - Field 2 - 2012-05-23.tif
Exp.SS.4.4.167 - DF1 cells - With Antibiotic - Sample 1 - Merged B-R - Field 2 - 2012-05-23.tif
Exp.SS.4.4.167 - DF1 cells - With Antibiotic - Sample 1 - Merged B-G - Field 3 - 2012-05-23.tif
Exp.SS.4.4.167 - DF1 cells - With Antibiotic - Sample 1 - Merged B-R - Field 3 - 2012-05-23.tif

Exp.SS.4.4.167 - DF1 cells - Without Antibiotic - Sample 1 - Merged B-G - Field 1 - 2012-05-23.tif
Exp.SS.4.4.167 - DF1 cells - Without Antibiotic - Sample 1 - Merged B-R - Field 1 - 2012-05-23.tif
Exp.SS.4.4.167 - DF1 cells - Without Antibiotic - Sample 1 - Merged B-G - Field 2 - 2012-05-23.tif
Exp.SS.4.4.167 - DF1 cells - Without Antibiotic - Sample 1 - Merged B-R - Field 2 - 2012-05-23.tif
Exp.SS.4.4.167 - DF1 cells - Without Antibiotic - Sample 1 - Merged B-G - Field 3 - 2012-05-23.tif
Exp.SS.4.4.167 - DF1 cells - Without Antibiotic - Sample 1 - Merged B-R - Field 3 - 2012-05-23.tif



Is that easy to do with a script? The filenames are basically WILDCARD - Brightfield - WILDCARD, WILDCARD - UV green - WILDCARD, and WILDCARD - UV red - WILDCARD?
