We are not removing anything. So far GIMP didn't have a Print plug-in
maintained in the GIMP source tree. We are now adding one based on
GtkPrint as an option for the users who just want to get an image
printed easily.

You can still install the GIMP Print plug-in from the Gutenprint project
if you need the features or the suberb print quality that it offers.

I think the current implementation of the print plugin is fine, i.e.
generate the PDF with opaque images. If someone needs to have a PDF with
images with alpha values, it would be possible to write a 'save-as-pdf
plugin' similar to the print plugin that uses also gtk_print_*
functionality. I think that even layers could be embedded into the PDF. I
could (try to) write such a plugin.

So, there the question remains whether someone would use this?

I wouldn't base this on GtkPrint but directly on Cairo. GtkPrint just
adds funtionality to deal with printers, it wouldn't offer any advantage
if you are just creating a PDF file.

Export to PDF has often been requested. It would be particularly
interesting if it could contain text layers as PDF text elements. We are
missing some additions to the PDB text API to make this possible. But
the missing API could be added (after 2.4 of course).

Yes, this would of course also be possible and not too different from a

It pretty much doesn't matter what you can do with a PDF target, so long 
as there is still the ability to directly print as PostScript and save 
as EPS/PS. Should an image be intended for print, then there would be no 
harm in dumping alpha and using opaque. Someone may want to actually 
further edit an image, in which case a PDF losing alpha would be a 
disadvantage...but PDF is the wrong format for this anyway (most of the 
PDF editing tools out there are junk, set with features to sell a 
product that breaks if you mix it with the wrong situation).

The up side to only embedding opaque is easier maintenance, common code 
set, etc. Quite likely it would result in better reuse of code.

If you want a final answer, you're going to have to know who uses alpha 
in a PDF which is intended to be in its final form, and not as an 
intermediate product of editing. Newer PDF formats have a lot of 
features which barely anyone uses...when they are used, I see it for 
interactive purpose, not for print.

soon as you start making PDF-to-PostScript conversions or 
PostScript-to-PDF-to-PostScript, the output is hopeless. Don't do it.



We are talking about the new Print plug-in here, not about the plug-in
that is used to save an image as a Postscript file. So your concerns are
probably not valid.
  

Yes and no. The PostScript which I have to slice-and-dice is from save 
as, but all of the printers involved are PostScript printers. Some can 
handle PDF, others cannot. If I were to print a high res image on a 
quality printer (definitely not some ink jet from the local store), it'd 
be rare that any conversion process would leave the quality in tact. The 
only time exporting a transparency is a problem is if you plan to print 
on some sort of custom paper that isn't plain white, but then there 
should be a background color anyway. With an exception that is 
irrelevant, there are no printers with transparent ink (that exception 
being in the dye sublimation, but the transparent ink is a coating for 
longevity, and has no knowledge of any alpha channel). Show me a printer 
takes advantage of mixing transparent inks, taking advantage of an alpha 
channel, and I'll agree that there is a reason to not export to a 
non-transparent color space. On the other hand, every single printer out 
there which handles PostScript natively (and there is no such thing as a 
good PCLprinter, even if it emulates PostScript) will suffer by removing 
direct PostScript output.

I do indeed print directly from gimp without an intermediate step, as 
proofs and other samples going to a quality PostScript printer are best 
done from gimp...some of the other products are known to crash printers 
under some images, gimp never does this, it's the only really stable 
program for that purpose (all of these printers are Adobe certified, the 
low end systems start at about $10k, the I-Gen systems range from over 
$100k on up...which Adobe products tend to crash). Being able to take 
advantage of a PPD file during print from gimp is very useful, and I 
print directly from gimp daily. A PDF conversion would ruin this, so I'm 
in the opposite position by having a real PostScript system.

So I pose this question...if print via PDF is to be considered, why 
remove the existing PS system, which is pretty much the best quality 
PostScript among all of the apps (commercial and free)? There isn't any 
reason to not add a PDF print preference, but PDF language is not 
intended as a print language, it is a document interchange format, and 
should not be converted to this format until interchange is needed. A 
preference could easily be set if both formats are available, but there 
is a genuine need for real PostScript output in the non-windows world. I 
don't want to hand craft save-as-eps files for specific hardware every 
time someone wants a sample print, just so I can keep the image quality. 
I really don't understand why anyone would want to remove PostScript 
print options instead of adding PDF to it, especially since much of the 
PostScript code directly translates to PDF code.

[Gimp-developer] Print plugin

2007-07-22 Thread Stefan Roellin
Hi,

I have submitted a patch which (slightly) improves the quality of the print
plugin (see Bug #387604). The problem basically was that Postscript can't
cope with transparency. In contrast, PDF is able to do so.

The current implementation/patch now has a disadvantage: if you print to a
postscript target, the image has to be exported TWICE: once for the 'print
preview widget' (with alpha) and once for the postscript target (without
alpha). This is certainly not optimal regarding memory consumption. 

So the question is, whether this is a real problem or not. 

If yes, a solution could be to not distinguish between a Postscript and a
PDF target (i.e. to embed only opaque images into a PDF despite the fact
that PDF can handle images with alpha values). In this case, we only have to
export the image at most once.

PDF is pretty much a subset of PostScript with a hierarchy, at least in 
the basic early versions. When you start getting into more recent 
versions, it diverges, but still contains mainly a subset of PostScript 
operators for the vector and bitmap part of it. If you wanted support 
for PDF, you'd be better off making both PS and PDF output options. It'd 
be nice to have direct PDF output, but this is a document interchange 
format, and NOT a print format. There is no reason to not add dual 
output format, but there is an extrordinary loss of quality by removing 
direct PostScript output (FYI, I must often slice and dice the raw 
PostScript, and gimp has the most sane version among the common tools).

FYI, a proper conversion tool can convert from PS to PDF without loss, 
but virtually all tools have issues, mainly when converting vector to 
bitmap, or using lossy compression without an option to say no to it. If 
anyone really felt the need to improve print options, my own feeling 
from coding for the print industry is that more options on compression 
formats and font embedding (perhaps not relevant for gimp) would be 
appropriate.

It has a functional print plug-in based on gimp-print 4.2.

For GIMP-2.2, we'd like to provide a print plug-in based on a newer
gimp-print release (that would be 5.0 then?). Perhaps we would even do
that change in some 2.0.x release. It depends on the timing of your

   API changes, and then gets updated to use the new gimpprint when a

The current plugin (based on 4.2) is basically in sustaining at this
point, and really approaching EOL.  We're hardly even fixing bugs in
4.2 any more.  We're probably going to do one more 4.2 release for a
few bugs, an OS X problem that isn't a Gimp-Print problem but which
gets blamed on it, and a couple of new Epson printers.  But that won't
cause you any problems.  I'm not going to remove it from our source
base, since there will be very few 4.2 releases left.

The plugin in our 5.0 tree is another matter.  Since the 5.0 API isn't
locked down, it's premature (IMHO) to transfer it to the GIMP.  There
are major structural changes from the 4.2 plugin; in particular, it
has been split into two pieces, libgimpprint and the Print plugin
proper.

libgimpprint is a GTK+ (1.2 right now) UI, without any linkage to
libgimp.  The GIMP-specific code is in the plugin, consisting of 4
files of less than 1000 lines of code:

4571492   11003 print-image-gimp.c
4251418   13702 print.c
 55 2221590 print_gimp.h
 38 1991372 print-intl.h
9753331   27667 total

The question is what should be transferred to the GIMP when our API
stabilizes.  Certainly the core GIMP plugin is a good candidate, but
libgimpprintui is less clear.  It's actually much larger than the
plugin proper (and badly in need of cleanup).  It could at least in
principle be used as a print facility by other GTK-based
applications, although it's not completely general (it only handles
single pages).

   4438   12230  136157 panel.c
   13713945   36094 plist.c
155 4653964 print-image-thumbnail.c
 44 2151385 printrc.h
105 3823287 printrcl.l

8692482   25134 ui-utils.c
   7267   20373  212342 total

(I'd ideally like to support both a 4.2 and a 5.0 plugin concurrently,
because people who have built workflows around 4.2 may not want to
switch in one shot.)

I'm hoping to do a lot of work and get close to locking down the 5.0

Hi,

What are you suggesting? I think we are willing to include
a new version with stable gimp-1.2 if it has seen a good amount
of testing. I would suggest you release 4.2 and if we do another
stable gimp-1.2 release after this release we will consider 
including the new version. To assure that this happens and enough
people test it, we should include 4.2 into gimp CVS as soon as 
it is released.

For gimp-1.3/1.4 this brings up the general question about plug-ins 
again...


Salut, Sven

That sounds reasonable.  Release is probably at least a few months off
right now, but I want to get things rolling.
