I am a new user of GIMP and I use it mainly to sharpen the pics taken with my digicam. I usually initially use the unsharp mask (with same settings) for all the pictures.

While doing so I have to apply the same filter to all the pictures individually.

I was wondering whether there is any way to apply the filter simultaneously to all my pictures.

Not simultanously but using a small script you can apply the same effect to a list of images.

Actually, easier than making a script in this case - since dig. pictores usually come numbered in order, you coul d try GIMP-GAP (Gimp Animation Package).

It adds a 'video' menu where you can treat each image in a numbered sequence as a 'frame' of a video, and there are ways to filter a range of 'frames'.]

I guess it would help if I posted such a script here. The batch capabilities of GIMP could definitely be documented better. If someone would want to contribute a tutorial for batch processing using GIMP 2.2, we would be happy to add it to www.gimp.org.

OK, here's the script. It doesn't register any menu entry and can thus only be run from the command-line or the Script-Fu console. It would be easy to let it register in the menus, but I thought I should keep it as simple as possible:

;; batch-unsharp-mask -- apply unsharp-mask on a set of files ;; simple batch script for GIMP 2.2
;;
;; call it from the command-line using a line like the following: ;; gimp -i -b "(batch-unsharp-mask \"*.png\" 5.0 0.5 0)" "(gimp-quit 0)" ;;
;; This script uses the file-glob plug-in which is not available in GIMP 2.0.

(define (batch-unsharp-mask pattern radius
amount
threshold)
(let* ((filelist (cadr (file-glob pattern 1)))) (while filelist
(let* ((filename (car filelist)) (image (car (gimp-file-load RUN-NONINTERACTIVE filename filename)))
(drawable (car (gimp-image-get-active-layer image)))) (plug-in-unsharp-mask RUN-NONINTERACTIVE image drawable radius amount threshold) (gimp-file-save RUN-NONINTERACTIVE image drawable filename filename) (gimp-image-delete image))
(set! filelist (cdr filelist)))))
