Re: [Gimp-user] Save and automatically apply a series of editing steps

 Yes it is possible to automate a sequence of steps, BUT it's a programmatic solution - you have to write 
scripts in Scheme, Python or maybe Perl.

At present (in 2.8.x) the support for scripts is firmly based around low bit-depth. I was asking if the API 
has been updated to incorporate the high-bit depth features (and all the GEGL operations), but perhaps that 
question (and the multitude of associated questions) would be better placed on the developers mailing list.

If I were asking this question just for myself, I'd probably assume that
figuring out "how to" is too much trouble.

However, in addition to my own interest in being able to automate
applying a series of editing steps, recently two other people have sent
me emails asking the same question.

Both of these people are new to GIMP and using my patched version GIMP
2.9 from git. They both seem to like high bit depth GIMP quite a lot.
And both of them are looking for ways to automate steps for faster
throughput when there are a lot of images to edit all at once.

I'm in a total state of confusion as to what Pat's and Kevin's answers
actually mean in practical "how to" terms, so my apologies but I'll try
asking again:

Is it possible right now for users to automate a series of editing steps
in high bit depth GIMP? If yes, is there a guide somewhere? Will the
resulting images be high bit depth images or only 8-bit images?

Best regards,
Elle
