Title: ImageInsert Script
Post by: Enzo De Bernardini on 2011 December 11 17:36:46

Hi,

I wrote a little script that allows you to insert a small image in a bigger one, like this example:

Supernova SN 2011iv (http://astrosurf.com/astronosur/galeria/SN2011iv_20111207_1.htm)

The settings are simple: you select the images (big and small), location, margins, and optionally a border width and border color. Here a UI screen capture:

I am almost certain that there must be a more efficient way of doing that which I have used, but still it was fun. I used the classic way of crop and PixelMath (like the manual way), with a little math.

Enjoy ;)

Enzo.

Thank you Enzo! Would be possible to selec the insertion area with the mouse, like a preview ... ?:sad:

I'm afraid that is beyond my current abilities :-[ But you can play with the predefined locations and margin values to locate the inset in, I think, any part of the main image (with some predefined maximum values for now) Anyway, can be tricky to locate at a specific point.

Hi Fco.!
If you dont mind to insert "circular" images from one picture to the other
the process CloneStamp can be used the way you want with the mouse.

Here the description how i did it before Enzo announced his great tool.
(Thanks Enzo)

=======================================
Insert Images, or part of one, or more images to another one:
=======================================

R=Receiving Image
I=Inserted Image(s) (Usually out of one or more small images created out of preview(s)!!)



Part One:
---------
Make R active Image
Call Process CloneStamp
Press Reset on CloneStamp
Set Radius to I / 2  (use w or h  in bottom line of Window of I)

Part Two:
---------
Move Mouse to Center of I and Press Ctrl and left mouse,
Release Ctrl and left mouse,
move mouse to R and where you want the image I inserted,
Click left mouse,

You can repeat Part Two as often as you want (also with different I`s)

Click green execute on CloneStamp process window.
+
Close ConeStamp!!

Finished
or Start from Part One.

Aloha
Gerald
