Example of reverse curve bend

GIMP reverse curve-bend

This example shows how to curve-bend an label stuck on a cylindrical surface to rectangular area.

  1. Save the following Python-fu script to C:\Program Files\GIMP 2\lib\gimp\2.0\plug-ins\my_curve_bend.py
    (Assume GIMP is installed in C:\Program Files\GIMP 2)
    Note that the pdb.plug_in_curve_bend() is used.

  2. Open the sample label in GIMP.


  3. Goto Menu Windows -> New Toolbar. Double click the "Path" toolbar


  4. Draw a upper path along the curved surface. Please use maximum 16 segments.
    (Note you can use Ctrl + Mouse scroll to zoom-in)


  5. Press the Shift key to start a new path segment.
    Draw a lower path along the curved surface. Please use maximum 16 segments.


  6. Start the bending by go to Menu Python-fu -> My curve bend.
    Here is the result:


  7. You can hide away / delete other layers by: Menu Windows -> Dockable Dialogue -> Layers
    And delete the layers


  8. The original image layer was removed. Note the red line showing the original
    image was bent according to mirror of the upper and lower path.


  9. The image was cropped and the result image:
