Image Wizard Advanced

You may have seen the the Image Wizard script. This Image Wizard Advanced script gives more options to help you with manipulating images. It may be particularly helpful in working with a photo album.


 * Selection options limit what images are affected by the other operations:
 * Single Image Only
 * Multiple Images
 * Only the Inner Image of a Two Image Group - See example usage below.
 * Only the Outer Image of a Two Image Group
 * Launch a Load Image dialog box, and load that image into all selected frames
 * Copy the Size, Location, and Rotation information from one image, and paste that information into one or more selected images. This lets you copy the exact location, size, and rotation settings to other images, without having to type it by hand.
 * Scale to Fill Frame (proportional scaling with cropping)
 * Scale to Fit Frame (standard Scribus "Scale to Frame Size: Proportional" - no cropping)
 * Scale Image to: x % (proportional scaling by the given percentage)
 * Automatic alignment (9 possible alignments)
 * Click arrow buttons to align the image in the frame
 * Click arrow buttons to align the frame on the canvas
 * Flip the image horizontally or vertically

Each button click performs a separate action on all the currently selected images. So if you need to scale the image and then align it, you should first click the scaling button, then select your alignment and press the Align button.

Example of using "Group of Two Frames" selection option:

Imagine that you have a group of two images. The outer image is a PNG file with transparency. It looks like a postcard on the outside, and the inside is transparent. This allows the second image to show through from behind. Both images are grouped together, so you can move them around the page easily without worrying about them getting out of alignment. But how can you load an image into just the inner frame without first ungrouping them, then selecting the inner frame, loading and image, selecting both frames, and regrouping them?

Use the "Image Wizard Advanced" script, of course! In this case, you have the group of two images selected. You then chose the selection criteria of "A Group of Two Frames - Inner Frame Only". This selection will only work if two and only two images are selected. It will perform operations only on the smaller, inner frame.



Now, as the next step, you should click the "Load image for selected frame(s)..." button. This gives you a file dialog, and we select the image you want. Once you load the image, it is inserted into the inner frame!



After that, keep the selection the same, and press the "Scale Image to Fill Frame" button. The image now completely fills the frame, and you're done!



Example of Copying and Pasting size/location/rotation data

Suppose you have an image that uses a special shaped frame (from an SVG shape, for example, see Creating custom image frames with GIMP and Inkscape). You decide you don't want to use that shape, you just want a normal rectangular image frame, but you like the size, position, and rotation of the current image. You could flip back and forth between the Properties toolbar of each image, copying the X/Y, Width/Height, and Rotation values by hand. Or, you could use the "Image Wizard Advanced" script!

In the following image, you want to replace the image at the top with the image at the bottom, but keep the top image's size, location, and rotation. So you should select the top image, fire up the "Image Wizard Advanced" script, select "Single Image Only" in the selection area, and press the "Copy from image" button. You should notice that the information about the size, location, and rotation of that image appears as text between the "Copy from image" and "Paste to image(s)" buttons.



Next, you should click on the bottom image in the main Scribus window, and press the "Paste to image(s)" button in the Image Wizard Advanced window. Notice that this changes the size, location, and rotation of the selected frame so that it completely overlaps the top image. However, the size of the image in the frame has not changed yet.



To fix that, just click the "Scale to Fill Frame" button, and your image now takes the place of the old one. (The old one is still there though. Click in the Scribus window, and press PgDn or End until the old image appears. Then you can select it and delete it.)



Example of Copying and Pasting Size & Location Data for a Group of Two Images

This is a similar example, except we're using "A Group of Two Frames" instead. You have one group with a postcard frame around your photo, and another group with a wooden frame around your photo. You don't want the postcard frame anymore, you want the wooden frame. In this one case, the Image Wizard Advanced handles the "Inner Frame" and "Outer Frame" selections the same. Just pick one of those selection options. Make sure to select the top "postcard" image group, and then press "Copy from image".



Next, select the bottom "wooden frame" image group, and press the "Paste to image(s)" button. Notice that both the wooden frame image and the photo it contains are moved to the right location, and sized to the proper size. However, because of limitations in the script, they are not rotated. To fix the rotation, simply open the Properties toolbar for the image group (F2, or Right-Click->Properties) and change the rotation to the same amount as the "postcard" image (here, 15 degrees). The "wooden frame" image would then completely cover the "postcard" image.



I hope you'll find this script useful. This script has been immensely helpful to me in laying out the pictures for a photo album. More functions may be forthcoming if I find some that are useful. Maybe this additional alignment and scaling functionality could be incorporated into Scribus at some point.

The script has been tested in Scribus 1.3.4. It requires Tkinter to be properly installed.

'''Warning: You can leave the script dialog open, and continue to scale and align more images that you select. However, due to a multi-threading bug with Python scripts in Scribus, if you attempt to launch another script while this one is running, Scribus will probably crash and you'll lose your document. So be careful, and save often! Also, when the script is running, it may interfere with other Scribus actions such as using the Properties toolbar.'''

Save this script with a filename of Image_Wizard_Advanced.py, for example.
