Rusted Script Rel5.2

GnuTux · **Posted:** Sun May 26, 2013 5:20 am **(#41)**

The bug is in the source code of the official release of GIMP 2.8.4. If your version is compiled from that source code, you have the bug. It doesn't matter which OS you are using.

To avoid the bug, you can drop back to GIMP 2.8.2 or use a version of GIMP that has been compiled from an updated version of the 2.8.4 source code. I suspect you are using the later, Rod.

More than likely it is a later compiled version.It is also a Partha build and Partha is usually right on the ball when it comes to bugs.

win 7 64
i was using 64 bit gimp but am now using partha 2.8.4 32 bit and no more crashing when choosing a gradient

Hi,

I have tried both 32 bit and 64 bit versions of 2.8.4 from Partha's site but when opening GIMP many of the plugins crash so makes GIMP unusable. I will stick with the 'standard' 2.8.4 and put up with the gradient problem.

Thanks for your help.

Cheers

Bob

There is little I can do about the crashes in Gimp but to introduce a active gradient to the bgd choices, the bug does not effect any of my gimps but my operating system is Windows

'O' all release 4 releases are bugfixes for individuals, that are brought to my attention, there is also a fix for the amount of rust coming soon

Rel5 just uploaded see Initial post

; Rel 0.05 - Changed the output to increase the amount of rust and Added 'Active Gradient' to background choices

I don't get any rust at all with v.05.

I've attached the xcf file so you can see the layers.

Very nice Graechan.I am impressed with the gouges in the metal look. :bigthup

I used my seamless rust pattern for both the pattern and background fills.
Rust severity set to max.Plus a mild bit of contrast to add depth.

A overlay of the rust pattern set to burn and masked over gouged areas really brings it out i think.

Hi Graechan,

Active gradient works a treat.

Thanks

'O' could you run the Logo script with default settings

'O' your layers look correct, I think Wilbur hates you and me

Rod thanks for posting the images they were a sanity check for me

Graechan · **Posted:** Sun May 26, 2013 10:47 pm **(#52)**

updated to release 5.1 to output same Image as release 4 because changing the settings failed

please download again sorry about that :oops:

Graechan here is default and max severity for rust.The max severity seems to only get darker but not rustier.

All default settings

All default except rust severity set to max (60)

Rod I can't seem to push it no more as the plugins I used seem to have a sweat spot any Adj. More or less and they won't work together at all

Hi Graechan,
thanks.
I now tried it also with a selection (the text on top is always perfect, for me) and I put here a note for myself and anybody else who wants also to play with selection on an image (I did it on my poor Angel...)
1 - select the area to rust
2 - duplicate the layer
3 - invert selection
4 - cut (only the selected part remains on the duplicated layer)
5 - invert again
6 - run the script and..
7 - ... voilà!, the selected part of the image is rusted!
nice result

There's an aussie expression that say's 'there are more ways to skin a cat' so here is another attempt at rusted

OK 5.2 now uploaded to initial post

Looks great Graechan.
I had both rust severity and coverage set to max.Font type is "Rock"

Hey, that's pretty cool. It looks really pitted and corroded. :hehe

Oregonian · **Posted:** Mon May 27, 2013 11:47 pm **(#60)**

Much improved. Thanks, Graechan!
