[Gimp-user] Wacom Intuos Pro - configuration?

[Uwe Haider]

Hi

I finally got an Intuos Pro :-)

It works on my Gentoo, but in gimp there are no buttons. Not for the pen
and also not for the Intuos. I am not sure how to configure this.

I have used gimp not so much until now. Now I have to postprocess a
bunch of pictures of a shooting. Do you have any hints how to use the
buttons? Which menu entries are essential for an smooth working with
gimp on photos?

Thanks a lot for your help...

The word "humongous" comes to mind.  Some things I would suggest is
cropping layers that do not fill the entire image, so they do not eat up
any more memory than necessary; avoid converting text layers to image
layers where and as possible; and maybe most important, delete your undo
history early and often - it uses a lot of memory.

Another thing to consider is the distance from which the poster will be
viewed.  The further away from the viewer the less DPI resolution is
needed.  300 DPI is standard for materials that will be hand held, but
200 might be acceptable for a poster that will hang on a wall.  Some
experiments might be in order.

Thanks - will take a look at the settings... I have started checking that other

My work is mostly geared to print, commonly 300dpi. Greeting cards (normally
5"x7" or double) are one thing, but 20"x30" wall prints can get huge - I assume
that the number of layers in a file would be a factor?

I got it at Gimp.org.  I knew it was there, I just couldn't find it. Now with
your very clear directions, I have found it.  I wonder why they hide it? Anyway,
I've copied it into the main Gimp menu, and set it on the taskbar.
Thanks for your swift and precise instruction.
I've had Gimp before but never learned how to get the most from it. I intend to
do just that now.
Again, thanks...

Where did you get the Gimp installation file? Anywhere other than www.gimp.org
is leaving yourself open to malware.

If you do not use the customize option when installing Gimp then you do not get
a desktop shortcut, but you should get a menu entry.

Providing it is there, for a 64 bit installation look for: C:\Program Files\GIMP
2\bin\gimp-2.8.exe

see the attached screenshot

I have just downloaded Gimp on Windows 10, 64 bit, I then installed it.
However, now I cannot find the link/button to start the program. There is
nothing on my desktop or in the taskbar.
I had even tried looking in the gimp folder on the C:\ drive, but to no avail.
Nothing there which looks like it would execute the program.
Please help.

Re: [Gimp-user] Gimp does not recognize - will not open NEF Raw files from a Nikon D5500 Camera

[Pat David]

I answered on the previous thread, but I'll address your specific concerns
here.

2a: batch processing - the other mentioned raw processors support this
(RawTherapee for instance) no problem.

2b: I don't think LR does layering/masking - maybe local edits at best for
some small things.  GIMP does support layering, of course.

2b1: long exposure during the daytime w/o using ND filters can be done by
mean averaging the frames (
https://patdavid.net/2013/09/faking-nd-filter-for-long-exposure.html).

2b2: If you want to create an actual HDR image, you'll need something like
LuminanceHDR or HDRMerge to create them (and then something to tonemap them
into a range you can see - likely LuminanceHDR for that).

You can spend $142 for LR if you want, up to you.  I'd personally recommend
you take a little bit of time playing with the other projects first.
Chances are quite good they'll do exactly what you want.  If you want to
ask questions, we have a community of Free Software photographers over at
https://pixls.us to address specific concerns and questions, and to
generally help out.

If that happens after a Cut/Paste this is because the active layer is 
the "Floating Selection" and there are restrictions on what you can 
while there is one. You ha e to either "anchor" it (merge it t its 
target paste layer (Ctrl-H) or make it a plain layer ("Layer>To new
