12.9.1. Overview

Figure 17.280. Example for the “Slide” filter

Original image

“Slide” applied

This filter makes your image look like a slide, by adding a slide-film like black frame, sprocket holes, and labels.

If necessary, the image will be cropped to fit into an aspect ratio of width : height = 3:2. If image width is greater than image height, black frames will be added at the top and the bottom of the image, else the frames will be added on the left and right sides. You may select the color as well as the font of the text appearing on the frames. The current background color will be used for drawing the holes.

The script only works on RGB and grayscale images that contain one layer. Otherwise the menu entry is insensitive and grayed out.

12.9.2. Activate the filter

The filter is found in the image window menu under Filters → Decor → Slide….

Font: Clicking on this button opens the Font dialog, where you can choose a font for the text on the frame.

Work on copy: If checked, the filter creates a new window containing a copy of the image with the filter applied. The original image remains unchanged.
