 Hi All,

 I'm working on NLP project so I've to use huge TIFF images

GIMP should be able to handle such large images, what happens if you 
try? Due to constant swapping of memory to and from disk editing will be 
very slow, but it should work.

While GIMP can theoretically open such large images, it will need a
ridiculous amount of memory for it. Such an image would need about 128
GB. So unless you are doing this on a supercomputer, loading the image
will not finish in reasonable time.

[Gimp-user] FG/BG color tool

2009-08-22 Thread Carusoswi
I am working through Rolf Steinort's tutorial #4 where he uses this tool on a
white colored layer to introduce color corrections to the underlying image.  I
cannot find the tool.  In his video, it is a black button at the top of the
layers panel.  I have no such button and have not been able to find the tool
in any of the menu drop downs.  What am I doing wrong?
Advise much appreciated.

 I think this is an absolute fact prove that GIMP can't work with huge 
 images. For that I'll send a bug report (or a feature request) about that.

No need. We are well aware of that limitation.

 Subject: [Gimp-user] Multi-page TIFF

 I want to know, How I can create multi-page TIFF file.

If you're using Microsoft Office on Microsoft Windows then Microsoft
Document Imaging is a package component that installs with Office and
that you can use to create multi-page TIFF files. For example, if you
scan a multi-page document using a scanner with a sheet-feeder then
the scan will result in a multi-page TIFF file. In addition, you can
create multi-page TIFF files yourself using MDI - just create a new
TIFF file and add new pages using the menu/toolbar options. If you
don't see Microsoft Document Imaging in your Windows menu then, very
likely, you have not installed this component. In that case, install
Office completely and you'll be able to do what you want.

I have never explored The Gimp for this purpose.

2009-08-22 Thread Carusoswi
Your picture was worth a thousand.  I would never have found it, and I'm
trying to figure out how add tab applies to the process of finding/opening
that dialog box.  But beggars can't be choosers - I am quite happy with Gimp,
so I won't complain.

Thanks for our quick and helpful reply.

I can use Scribus for creating multi-page TIFF but this is not suitable 
solution for this issue. I just want to be-sure if GIMP can create 
multi-page TIFF files
  For example, if you
 scan a multi-page document using a scanner with a sheet-feeder then

[Gimp-user] What is the scale of Levels?

2009-08-22 Thread Darxus
I'm looking for a mathematical definition of this scale.  

http://docs.gimp.org/en/gimp-tool-levels.html says 0 is black and 255 is
white.  What's in between?  Is 7 double the brightness of 6?

What is the luminance / brightness of each of the levels?

Is it a logarithmic scale?

Have you not experimented with it? 7 is nowhere near being double the
brightness of 6.


 What is the luminance / brightness of each of the levels?

luminance (n) = n (or n/255. if you want luminance on a 0..1 scale)

 Is it a logarithmic scale?

no.
It's a nominally linear scale, which is then modified by gamma
parameter (if gamma == 1.0, that's no change). 0..255 simply
correspond to sRGB pixel intensity values directly. So if you want a
truly linear measurement of intensity, you need to apply the inverse
of the sRGB curve.

scipy used to provide an implementation of that -- see
http://mail.scipy.org/pipermail/scipy-svn/2007-February/000703.html
