Re: [Gimp-user] Book cover image density /resolution etc..

[Tobias Jakobs via gimp-user-list]

Hi Mark,

I think you are trying something impossible. 300 dpi = 300 dots per inch
(or better ppi = pixel per inch). If your book is 6x9 your image bust be
(6x300)x(9x300) = 1800x2700 pixel. Every thing else will not work! You
can't change the dpi without changing the number of pixel and the other way
around.

Regards,
Tobias

Re: [Gimp-user] Wronr reading of 16 bit tiff

Hi Andy,

please open an issue in the Gimp issue tracker and attach an example file:
https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gimp/issues

Some scanners create  4-channel/12bit encodedimages. Then the 4th channel
is an IR channel that is useful for reducing dust.

He is the biggest contributor to GIMPfor years and has a lot of respect in

Some history:
Gimp was first developed with Motif as UI toolkit. Motif was not open
source. That's why the GIMP developers created GTK (GIMP Tool Kit)
KDE was developed with Qt as UI toolkit, but Qt was not open source at that
time. That's why GNOME was started to get an complete OSS desktop. GNOME
chooses GTK as toolkit.
That's the main reason, why they share so much infrastructure.

GIMP has no foundation but people asked for donating to GIMP. To make that
easy the GNOME foundation cares about the GIMP money. As far as I know, the
GIMP team pays for this service and the infrastructur.

Re: [Gimp-user] Suggestion for opening raw images

[Tobias Jakobs via gimp-user-list]

Hi Rick,

as Guy already wrote, Gimp 2.8 only supports 8-bit. Gimp 2.10 supports
16-bit as internal format and in the raw loader. And perhaps you are
interested, Gimp 2.10 has support for the HGT file format, gathered by
the Shuttle Radar Topography Mission (SRTM). I blogged about it here:
https://dablogter.blogspot.com/2018/01/gimp-now-supports-hgt-file-format.html

And I have an blogpost how to import the NOAA GLOBE elevation files here:
https://dablogter.blogspot.com/2018/09/howto-open-elevation-data-from-noaa.html

What is missing is import of 32-bit float values in the "Load Image
From Raw Data"-plugin. I opened a feature for that:
https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gimp/issues/2804

Do you have a link to one of thePDS images?

Tobias

 The errors you see are from GIMP's built-in plugins failing to load because

 etime,
 which I do not want as I had Genio on my computer before and it was really

Gimp doesn't add any additional software to the installer. Please make sure
you only download gimp from pages listed here:

Hello,

Gimp 3.0 will release after Gimp 2.10. there is no fix timeline. Gimp 3.10
will be released as soon as Gimp is completely ported to GEGL (16 bit
support and more). Gimp 3.0 will be released after Gimp is then ported from
gtk 2 to gtk 3.
The Gimp development is so slow, because there are not enough developer
working on it. It could be speed up with more developers.

 I use
 Linux exclusively for _everything_ else, and have found many great FOSS
 applications to replace the closed source Windows equivalents I used for
 almost
 two decades - Inkscape is one good example, which I now actually _prefer_
 over
 Illustrator,


Not that I'm trying to shock you, but Inkscape will switch to the same
Save/Export behavior then Gimp has in on of the next releases.

 Hi,
 as 4K monitors become more widely used and better supported in GTK+
 (Hidpi), I'm curious to know if there is any plans for 4K/Hidpi
 support in GIMP?

 Hi, I am a long time gimp user, I recently purchased a better computer with
 higher resolution for my work/job. When using gimp now everything is so
 small. My resolution is at 3200 X 1800. Please make an update for all of us
 with higher resolution for screens.

Re: [Gimp-user] Perspective tool - Hide original during transform

[Tobias Jakobs]

Hi Kalle,

there is a simple workaround. Just hide the layer and then transform it.
Even for a hidden layer you have the preview during transformation.

Tobias

 Hi,

 Long time Gimp user with unresolved problem here. One of the many task I
 use Gimp for is collaging images of spaces and buildings for work. We
 have Photoshop licences but I find some of the Gimp workflow better.

 I frequently need to correct perspective (or scale for that matter) to
 match a feature of the underlaying layers. The problem is that a not
 transformed copy of the object stays in place behind the transform
 obscuring the underlaying image and preventing accurate transform.

 Is there a setting or alternative workflow to achieve what I'm looking
 for? I created a series of images http://imgur.com/a/O9PvX showing the
 problem. Unfortunately my simple example usecase can be helped by using
 the grid but there are similar circumstances when the reference detail
 is more or less completely hidden by the pre-transform copy of the
 layer/selection. What you can see however is that the outline of the red
 rectangle is lost in the background copy.

 Anyone else who'd also be very happy for a way of hiding transform
 matrices?

 Regards
 /Kalle

Re: [Gimp-user] exporting text to pdf

[Tobias Jakobs]

Hello Oliver,

I haven't seen this bug on my System. But I have two workarounds for you:
1. Flatter all layers and then export to pdf.
2. Use Scribus for adding the text. Scribus has an very good PDF export.

Regards
Tobias

2013/9/17 Olivier oleca...@gmail.com:
 I'm trying to build the covers of a set of five books. Each cover contains
 an image and some text, i.e. the author's name and the book title.

 The image is correct when I export it to jpg or png, but the text is
 wrongly rendered when I export to pdf. Not always, in fact: three covers
 are OK. In the fourth one, the first two letters of the author's name are
 set in a smaller body. In the fifth cover, two lines of the title are
 placed to high, and covert the author's name, and the third line of the
 title is missing.

 I cannot understand what occurs, and what characteristics of the cover
 triggers what seems to be a bug. I'm using GIMP 2.8 on Ubuntu 12.10. Has
 anybody already encountered such a problem?

Re: [Gimp-user] changes in gimp 2.8

[Tobias Jakobs]

2013/9/15 maderios mader...@gmail.com:

 When using a simple tool to perform simple tasks requires a long
 philosophical explanation, we can say that there is a problem somewhere in
 its design...

But Gimp is not a simple tool to perform simple tasks. Have a look at
the product vision:
http://gui.gimp.org/index.php/GIMP_UI_Redesign#product_vision

So it's OK, that Gimp is not optimised for simple Tasks.

Re: [Gimp-user] Gimp Contact Sheets

have you looked into the manual of the plugin?
Hompege of the plugin:

 While there are hundreds of references on the internet, Gimp sites and YouTube
 referring to the indexprint plugin, not ONE tells me what to do with it once 
 it
 downloaded and installed! I can see it listed as an installed  plugin under my
 Help menu, but nothing on the menu bars that even hint of its function. Batch
 Manipulation? Tried that.  Gimp manual search (RTFM)? Tried that. Youtube
 tutorials?  Not a chance.

 Okay wise ones... How do I create a contact sheet in Gimp?

 Hi everybody,

 this is my first post on this mailing list and it concerns the EPS
 support in Gimp 2.8.2

 Basic Information:

 - Gimp 2.8.2
 - Windows 7 Professional, 64 Bit
 - GPL Ghostscript 9.0.6, 32 Bit
 - Variable GS_PROG is set to
   C:\Program Files (x86)\gs\gs9.06\bin\gswin32c.exe (which exists)

 Problem:

 We recently switched from Gimp 2.6 to Gimp 2.8.2. Under 2.6 it was
 possible to open EPS-Files in Gimp via Ghostscript, that's no longer
 possible under 2.8.2.

 The screenshot attached shows the error appearing after choosing
 resolution and dpi. English translation is:

 C:\Users\admin\Desktop\E-TEK.eps could not be opened: Postscript-File
 C:\Users\admin\Desktop\E-TEK.eps could not be interpreted.

 Things tried:

 - Reinstalling Ghostscript
 - Reinstalling Gimp

 Have there been changes to GIMP EPS-Support which I've missed?

 Regards and thanks in advance,
 Thomas

Re: [Gimp-user] build 2.8 on FreeBSD question

I don't know about FreeBSD, gut Gimp 2.8 needs GTK 2.x Hand not GTK3.

 Hi,

 I'm building gimp on a FreeBSD 10.0-CURRENT machine, with gtk3.
 I have a failure in at-spi2-core when it does the g-ir-scanner bit. It
 looks like it's possibly ignoring the include spec for Introspection, it's
 running:

 # /usr/local/bin/g-ir-scanner -v --namespace Atspi --nsversion=2.0 -I..
 -I.. --include=GLib-2.0 --include=GObject-2.0 (ETC)

 note the -I.. -I..

 anyway it's failing, complaining about not finding libintl.h included in
 glib gi18n.h

 I don't see where to add paths in autogen.sh, I edited the Makefile and
 added -I/usr/local/include to INTROSPECTION_CFLAGS without luck.

 I did find that manually changing to atspi path and running g-ir-scanner
 with an extra -I/usr/local/include does the trick, then gmake can finish
 the build.


 Does anyone have experience with this issue? Either I'm not correctly
 building at-spi2-core or possibly a bug.

 I appreciate any suggestions/pointers.
