Photo Effects Script error message

spunkygurl80 · **Posted:** Wed Apr 17, 2013 5:06 pm **(#21)**

I know this is an old post here. I just wanted to say, that Rod's photo effects installed for me but a lot of the effects aren't working properly. Also, the presets weren't included in the download either. I wonder, if this may be the reason for the errors.

Hi, Can you post the error messages?

spunkygurl80 · **Posted:** Wed Apr 17, 2013 6:34 pm **(#23)**

I have a slew of errors here.
The only effects that work are Chrome & Texturizer.

Plug-In 'Pastel' left image undo in inconsistent state, closing open undo groups.

Plug-In 'Note Paper' left image undo in inconsistent state, closing open undo groups.

Plug-In 'Cross Light' left image undo in inconsistent state, closing open undo group
Error while executing script-fu-cross-light:

Error: set!: unbound variable: currentselection

Plug-In 'Patchwork' left image undo in inconsistent state, closing open undo groups.
Error while executing script-fu-patchwork-G2:

Error: Procedure execution of gimp-layer-copy failed on invalid input arguments: Procedure 'gimp-layer-copy' has been called with an invalid ID for argument 'layer'. Most likely a plug-in is trying to work on a layer that doesn't exist any longer.

Hi,
If you download the photo-effects_20.zip from http://registry.gimp.org/node/97?page=1 then open the zip, along with the .scm file there is a folder called presets.
The instructions in the readme file say

Code: Select all

Put the script in :

    * C:\Documents and Settings\yourname\.gimp-2.x\scripts   (Windows)
    * /home/yourname/.gimp-2.x/scripts    (Linux)

Put the Gimpressionist presets in :

    * C:\Documents and Settings\yourname\.gimp-2.x\gimpressionist\presets  (Windows)
    * /home/yourname/.gimp-2.x/gimpressionist/presets (Linux)

So copy the contents if the Presets folder to there and see how many of the errors are resolved.
Note depending on your version of Gimp will vary the number of issues you will have as that script is very old.
Let us know how you get on

I still get the same error messages even after installing the presets in the presets folder.

Spunkygurl80 are you using 2.6 or 2.8, Windows or Linux

spunkygurl80 · I'm using 2.6.12 on Windows 7.

Thanks for the version info, I was just about to ask for that...
Let's try and solve one issue at a time which may lead to the answer to many...
Pick a filter that is not working.
Tell me it's name, and where in the menu it is found.
Run it and paste the results of the error console output here along with a screen snapshot of the setting you used if that is relevant.

In the meantime, do you have G'mic installed? (under the menu Filters->G'mic) I only ask, as this comprehensive suite of filters (>450) let you preview the results easily and may have what you need without the hassle of using old scripts...

I was asking about Gmic on another thread. I unzipped the folder on that. I don't know where in the menu selection it is at?

Photo Effects aren't working anyways. I've had issues before with it.

Here is a script and Gimpressionist folder that work in 2.6.12

replace your current script and gimpressionist folder with these, then restart your gimp

menu location is Filters/Decor/Photo Effects

p.s. Gmic is at the bottom of the Filters menu

I just wanted to say the scripts were not created by me.
ev (eddyverl3) is the original writer for this software.

And they were written for Gimp-2.4 so that is probably the reason for the PDB errors.

The photo effects file didn't work but the one Rod had attached did work except for some errors with some of the effects. It would be nice, if someone could revert each photo effect into scm.file format. Image Effects are really hard to find for Gimp.

spunkygurl80 do you have FX-Foundry scripts installed because I copied the files from my 2-6-12

I do have a few installed. Should i unstall them and try downloading the file again?

Do you have the "Test For Duplicate Scripts" installed?This is a great way to fix some errors caused by having duplicate scripts in the script folders.

I do have that installed but it didn't find any duplicates.
