IE on windows doesn't render RGBA PNGs properly (unless you want to use this kludge: http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;Q294714). You can use 1bit transparency PNG similar to what GIF provides. In GIMP index the colors before saving as PNGs (You don't need to do this for GIFs, because Gimp does it for you, GIFs can't be RGBA). cheers Yuk what a kludge !, pitty they didn't write IE right in the first place !, opps sorry Linux demon comming out !

I recently downloaded EXIFutils[1], a collection of console utilities for working with EXIF information. They seem very powerful and I have only used the tiniest fraction of their capabilities. To do what you need one simply keeps a copy of the original jpeg form the camera and then transfers the EXIF information from it to the manipulated image with the command exifcopy These tools are not free but they do work in a limited way without being registered. The command above works fine without registering. I have also used the exiflist command to view the EXIF information. Another utility that you might look at is jhead[2]. It seems less powerful than EXIFutils but it is free.

I found a short list of tools at: http://www.shallowsky.com/limaging.html I use metacam, try a couple and see what works best for you.

I hate it when software shields away the more advanced features. It is adjusting to the user, while the user should be adjusting to software instead. More than that, it's not adjusting to the correct user. Marco Wessel ___ Gimp-user mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.xcf.berkeley.edu/mailman/listinfo/gimp-user

I'd suggest you help to integrate CMYK support with proper color management into GEGL. The GIMP itself is almost feature-frozen and we are working hard at getting it released. That's probably not a good time to integrate CMYK support. We do hope however that GEGL will be ready for consumption when the release is out so that we can start to integrate it.

In the meantime, is there anything that could extract the EXIM info, then be used to add it back afterwards?

[Gimp-user] Re: makes it sense to add native CMYK support to GIMP?
i am sorry, i didn't attach your letter like i should have. i hope that TheGIMP continues to support methods that are accessible to everyone. There has been a thorough discussion of how to publish with linux and cmyk issues. My friend took the right path to printing and still got bitched at by the printer for not using a mac. I think they had to do a conversion anyways. I am sick of this issue, personally. I don't understand software development, but it seems like if it is needed it gets built. Gimp has been publishing and analysing xrays and such for a very long time, in computer years. If you need it, if you want it, build it. I prefer that the printers catch up to modern technology. For the prices they ask, i think they are lagging. my 21 cents worth carol -- The sooner you fall behind, the more time you have to catch up. ___ Gimp-user mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.xcf.berkeley.edu/mailman/listinfo/gimp-user
[Gimp-user] makes it sense to add native CMYK support to GIMP?
Hi all, I am a computer science student looking for a final year project. I'd love to do something in the Open Source community and I am looking around where my help might be needed. Having a little interest in graphics design and prepress, I came across GIMP and CMYK support. The little research I've done gives me the impression that over the last couple of years it's regularly been asked for and it might be an important feature to get GIMP into the pre-press world. What I'd like to know is the following: 1. Is anybody actually working on this? There were hints now and then that people are thinking about it, but I didn't find anything definite, apart from an entry "Additional ColorModels" on the GEGL todo list (http://developer.gimp.org/gegl-todo.html) that seems to point in that direction. 2. How important is this really? What I am talking about is native CMYK support, not just a conversion function. There was a thread on the developers-list in November 2001 (http://www.mail-archive.com/[EMAIL PROTECTED]/msg01350. html) that gives the impression that it might not be all that important and that there might be cheaper workarounds (converting when saving, spot color channels). How important is a CMYK mode for people working in prepress? 3. Any guesses on the effort to implement this? I'd appreciate it if you could answer asap, since I have to hand in my project proposals very shortly.

EXIF-awareness has not been implemented yet (as can also be seen on http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=56443), but hopefully it will be in a too distant future.
