I'd recommend python, as it is pretty easy to pick up even for the non-programmer. IIRC the OSX version of GIMP includes python support - you can check by selecting Filters->Python-Fu->Console. If that opens, you have python support. If so, place plugin (.py) files into "[your home]/Library/Applications Support/Gimp/plug-ins" (create directory if necessary). There's this article, which is a bit dated but still useful: http://www.gimp.org/docs/python/index.html Then you might check out the plug-in registry for plug-ins tagged 'python' and study how they are coded: http://registry.gimp.org/taxonomy/term/52 Also - you can interact with the current image (or create a new image) in the Python-Fu console, which can be useful. Also see Help->Procedure Browser. All of those functions can be called from python with pdb.finction_name() Happy hacking, Chris _______________________________________________ Gimp-developer mailing list Gimp-developer@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU/mailman/listinfo/gimp-developer
