[Gimp-user] Biggest Frustration

2010-06-21 Thread Steve VanSlyck
My biggest frustration with GIMP is the complete lack of a general object 
selection tool. Not having an arrow tool is counter intuitive to the 
way we've been taught since the Faraday saw the first semiconductor claw 
its way into visibility in 1833.

 The developers of Gimp have never given the needs of print media

 is that there is little demand for CMYK. But the facts are that those 
 of us who work in print media don't use Gimp very much precisely 
 because it won't deal in CMYK. So it becomes a self-fulfilling 
 prophecy. 

I think that this is not true.

GIMP has had an historical lack of developers but those that work on it
(BTW: THANKS!) are working hard to do it the right way (TM) i.e.
using a specialized library (GEGL: http://gegl.org/,
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/GEGL) that will permit GIMP in the (near I
hope...) future to work with different color models like CMYK natively.
GEGL in already in GIMP but the work is not finished yet so to have that
feature in GIMP it will be necessary to wait until completed the GEGL
port of all functions on GIMP.

Sorry for my bad english.

My biggest frustration is that _I_ haven't been studying bitmap
graphics tools since 1833, you lucky bugger! I envy, envy, envy you!

The only reason I don't commit suicide out of being jealous is because
I know difference between vector graphics and bitmap graphics and
therefore I can use Inkscape for dealing with objects and you can't

There is a specification for such a tool:

Someone just needs to write the code. We won't have time to do that for 
2.8 though.

There is more to say.

Right now the top priority is to get GIMP 2.8 released. The current goal 
is late 2010. GIMP 2.8 does not have support for high bit depths.

Once GIMP 2.8 is out, we will start phasing out the legacy 
8-bit-per-channel code and replace it with GEGL. In other words, we will 
start for real to introduce support for high bit depths in GIMP. There 
is no schedule of this work, so a date cannot be given. It is reasonable 
though to expect this work to go on for say 2-4 years.

Martin

We know we need CMYK sooner or later, but higher bit depths and 
non-destructiveness is much more important. So first good support for 
the latter, then we can begin looking into proper support for the former 
IMO. Maybe in a stable version 6-8 years from now with the current pace 
of development.

I think 2-4 years is more than enough for CMYK (hopefully).

Meanwhile, give separate+ a go. It gets the job done, and very
reliable. Latest version supports clipping paths, and saving to CMYK
TIFF, JPEG, and PSD. I'm not sure about reading those files back into
Gimp, but I think it was mentioned somewhere it can be done. I've
never needed to do it myself, though, so you're on your own.

I've given an overview of the color management in Gimp and part of it
covers basic separate+ usage:

The problem may be that when working in the Gimp it may be required to
refer to something that was done using CMYK. The major issue that The
Gimp has is that it's CMYK interpertation is not accurate. Whereas
photoshop is very accurate. I have several times attempted to get the
same results of pulling in images that were created in Photoshop using
CMYK into The Gimp but not getting an accurate color representation.

Once you have the image imported correctly CMYK doesn't really matter at
that point, unless you want to export it for print again. But the import
procedure is where the problem would most likely stem. I'm just guessing
as to the original posters issue, but I do know that this is the problem
that I have seen.

 If this kind of thing cannot be implemented for all formats, then I

 of the target cannot be implemented in a single place for all file
 formats? That simply stinks of bad design, sorry. Now, I'll just STFU
 since I'm not the one to contribute the patch, and hopefully this has
 been already fixed in the devel branch (I remember reading something
 about this).

Yes, it is a very terrible design and it dates back to the last
millenium. But fixing such design flaws in a backward-compatible manner
is rather difficult. Doing this correctly is on the list of things to
fix if we should ever revamp the file plug-in API.

For now we can probably fix it easily for XCF files and with some more
effort some of the most often used file plug-ins.

Hey Alexandre,

hopefully this doesn't compromise your health, but an object picker has
already been proposed (which is my fault) [1], and for good reason:

If you take non-destructive editing serious, you inevitably end up with a finer
granularity of adjustability than with the current scheme -- hence objects [2].
This is not my fault, but GEGL's. Should also produce a little relief for those
poor little abused layers ;-)

Well, if you *have* used CMYKTool, you couldn't possibly fail to
notice the big thing called live soft proof or the small thing called
displaying per-channel ink density value for the point under mouse

creating CMYK files in a color-unmanaged way, which is also desirable
in some cases (implemented by a request, in fact).

I don't see how either of them make the other one redundant. Wise
people use both, depending on what they are trying to achieve.

 Um, good point. I keep forgetting that I mostly do content creation,
 rather than old-school image processing. Are there any tools that
 provide those features?

Krita provides access to CMYK curves, but that's about it. And the
only free libre tool that knows of UCR is Scribus. No free tool I know
of handles GCR except Argyll.

And I assume Argyll will do all of above?

Unless it's of old age! :D (No offence, developers.)

Sure.

I will take your advice to heart, oh wise one! :)

Speaking of which, if we manage to finally get Adobe to publish PSD
spec (they promised to do it soon), maybe we can get them to publish
plug-ins spec. Not that it will come bundled with a free developer to
do all the dirty job in PSPI, mind you :)

Argyl is a color management module with a bunch of console apps :)

I know what it is. And I've read it had some tools to actually
manipulate TIFFs or something. Just haven't really carefully looked at
its functionality.

 Hey Alexandre,

 hopefully this doesn't compromise your health, but an object picker has
 already been proposed (which is my fault) [1], and for good reason:

 If you take non-destructive editing serious, you inevitably end up with a
 finer granularity of adjustability than with the current scheme -- hence
 objects  [2]. This is not my fault, but GEGL's. Should also produce a little
 relief for those poor little abused layers ;-)

Well, it looks like slightly improved existing Move tool to me :)

I'd add it wouldn't make a lot of sense without vastly improved vector
paths tool. Otherwise it's much better and simpler to have layer
groups and objects on different layers.
