>I may be misunderstanding you but it sounds as though you are trying >take a layer from one image and add it to another image directly. Oh, no!. There are different layers created for different images. The problem comes when i close the first image, and open a new image; then i create this new image, create the new layers and associate these new layers to the new image, but when i try to get the image ID from one of these new layers, it returns -1. If i don't close the first image it works fine (with both images opened). my load -gimp relevant- code: image = gimp_image_new (50, 50, GIMP_GRAY); ... for (i = 0; i < dataset_num_rasterbands; i++) { ... get_band_data (&band[i], GDALGetRasterBand(dataset, i + 1), image, layer_number); /* rasterband count starts in 1 */ gimp_image_add_layer (image, band[i].layer_id, i); ... } gimp_image_resize_to_layers (image); gimp_display_new (image); and the get_band_data code: band->layer_id = gimp_layer_new (image, band->colorspace_name, band->width, band->height, GIMP_GRAY_IMAGE, 100.0, GIMP_NORMAL_MODE); drawable = gimp_drawable_get (band->layer_id); gimp_pixel_rgn_init (&pr, drawable, 0, 0, band->width, band->height, TRUE, FALSE); ... gimp_pixel_rgn_set_rect (&pr, scaled_data, 0, 0, drawable->width, drawable->height); gimp_drawable_flush (drawable); gimp_drawable_detach (drawable); That's all. -- View this message in context: http://www.nabble.com/gimp_drawable_get_image-fails--tf3564957.html#a10013198 Sent from the Gimp Developer mailing list archive at Nabble.com. _______________________________________________ Gimp-developer mailing list Gimp-developer@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU/mailman/listinfo/gimp-developer
