Hi Rolf, First, thanks for the nice and educational video tutorials. After watching #1 to #3 I've re-configured The Gimp on my box ... representing now a similar layout like your's with just one toolbox window open including tabs for other dialogs like layers, channels, etc. in the lower pane. Neat and less space consuming.
Also very helpful the hint with the TAB key to hide the toolbox window by tinkering with the window management settings. Unfortunately this influences also all other application windows: the Gimp window stays now on top even above xterm and other applications. An applicable workaround for me: I've created a new workspace dedicated solely to image manipulation works. As of the raw images mentioned in the episode #3: unfortunately you didn't explain in detail how you convert your 12 bit raw images into the 8 bit images. Just a guess: you did it with the (Windows ?) software which was shipped together with your camera. However, you have asked for a open source or at least a free tool: dcraw, ufraw (a Gimp plugin and as a stand-alone frontend to dcraw), rawstudio and Lightzone come to my mind. The latter is Java based and available for all mentioned OS but AFAIR free for Linux only. And just in case you should have some more time - Northern Germany is known for it's long lasting lousy weather ;) - you could make a videocast about how to make these nice videos. I know, it is not truly Gimp related but could inspire other folks to provide similar video tutorials. They are much easier to follow than written tutorials because one can really see what's going on without digging through the menus. More feedback after watching episodes #4+. Keep on going with this nice work - I would really appreciate it. Kind regards, Stephan. _______________________________________________ Gimp-user mailing list [email protected] https://lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU/mailman/listinfo/gimp-user
