GIMP 2.8 Script-FUs is a collection of more than 100 scripts, initially created for GIMP 2.4, that have been fixed/updated recently to work with the latest GIMP 2.8. Besides filters and effects, there are also some scripts that allow you to easily create a calendar, create a CD label, add watermark and more.

A couple of days I posted a short script, that did a few very simple tasks – that was just a start, to help me get into Gimp Scripting, and help with a little job.

Today’s task is quite a bit meatier.

I’m doing tech for a play, and I want a copy of the script that I can mark up. I’ve scanned the whole thing, but it has all the usual problems with scans – pages aren’t aligned, background isn’t white, and you can see text on the other side of the page showing through.

All these can be fixed, and some even automated.

I’m not enough of an image processing wizard to fix the alignment automatically, but Gimp’s rotate and crop tools should do you proud! I found the Fixed->Size option in Rectangle Select very useful for getting all the output images the same size.

The script does the rest, read the comments (anything after a “;” on a line) to see how it works.

Save with a .scm file extension put this in your scripts Directory (go to Edit->Preferences->Folders->Scripts if you don’t know where that is) then reload scripts (Filters->Script-Fu->Refresh Scripts). It should appear as Filters->Text->Scanned Text Enhance.

That’s all well and good if you’ve only got one image. What if you’ve got 80? Let’s automate this with a script.

The above script does the actual work of manipulating the image – the next one does the donkey work of loading the file, starting the manipulation script, then saving the file. In this case, it just saves over the old file, so make sure you’ve got a copy of the original in case it goes wrong. This should also be saved with a .scm extension in your scripts directory.

This has helped a bit – this script allows us run the text processing with only one piece of information – the filename, but how do you run it?
Type this into your command line:

You might need to change the path to your installation of Gimp, and also filename.png to the path to your image.

Finally, to automate this, I’m going to use a batch file. Make a batch file with this text:

This will run our script on all the .png images in the current directory.
