Re: [Gimp-user] Best performance on 4000x2200 pixel images.
Hi, Dana Sibera [EMAIL PROTECTED] writes: I'm having what seem to be performance issues with editing some images about 4000x2200 pixels (they're panoramas of multiple photos), and would like some advice on the best settings in GIMP for RAM use, or whether what I'm seeing is normal. I have 640MB in this machine, and GIMP is set to use a tile cache size of 400MB. By the look of GIMP's info in the window of the photo I'm editing, it's only taking 161MB once flattened, so I don't think RAM use is the problem, but could be wrong - I'm not familiar with exactly how GIMP best uses memory :). In any case, the specific problem I'm getting is while colour balancing of the final image, and each shift of the slider requires a bit over 20 seconds to complete the colour change over the image, which seems slower than it should be. It's just a little difficult to really get an idea how the before/after compare when it doesn't flick from one adjustment to another in time to see it 'real time'. Color correcting the image affects all pixels, so such an operation needs quite a bit of memory on the undo stack. So you might be filling up the tile cache with undo steps here. Lowering the number of minimum undo steps could help to improve this. But then, the color correction tools in GIMP are definitely slower than they would have to be and most probably the time it takes is just the time that it takes.

[Gimp-user] Channels opeartions
Is it possible to work with the channels data (copy, paste selection) within the channels dialog without decomposition-composing an image into RGB channels. I need to copy selection of a pupil from the green channel and paste it into the red channel to remove the red eyes. It works fine with image decomposition, but doesn't work by simply selection of appropriate channel in the channels dialog and deselection of other channels. Am I doing something wrong or it is as designed? By the way, Windows GIMP compilations do not show selection edge with a line if another selection region has been added. The selection appears visible after focus change or something else. It has happened since 2.2.0. -- With respect Alexander Rabtchevich ___ Gimp-user mailing list Gimp-user@lists.xcf.berkeley.edu http://lists.xcf.berkeley.edu/mailman/listinfo/gimp-user

Hi, Joao S. O. Bueno Calligaris [EMAIL PROTECTED] writes: I am afraid you've hit a design issue with the GIMP - when adjusting colors via tools, i t simply operates on the whole image for each preview step. I don't think this counts as a design issue. A design problem would be something that could not be solved without a major redesign. The speed of the color adjustment preview can certainly be improved based on the current design.

[Gimp-user] Problem in Gimp 2.2

[Gimp-user] Re: sub part 2
[EMAIL PROTECTED] (2005-01-28 at 1844.21 -0500): This sounds like something that might be easier to do in Blender, an open source 3D application at www.blender3d.org . While the tool takes some getting used to, it's well worth it. It is a bit overkill for this, specially if you do not know the interface already. Otherwise it is really fast. It is (was?) not oriented at unexperienced but at meeting deadlines. Here's the rough workflow: Add Mesh Cylinder Add Mesh Sphere Duplicate and move sphere That can be done with just one add sphere, then select half of it and extrude, so you do not have continuity problems. While I'm sure the GIMP can do this, the procedure for doing so might be pretty awkward. Nah, faking 3D in 2D apps is pretty old, most include filters that do it, for simple shapes at least.

[Gimp-user] Antialiasing transparent gifs against a background image
I have an interesting case where I have a circular logo which I overlay on a web-page. The logo needs to have a transparent background, however it is placed over many different elements (the background is not a solid color), so I can't use the smei-flatten code to antialias it. Originally, we had just used flash for the logo, but not all browsers support transparency in flash, so I converted it to a gif (and lost the nice smooth edges) My solution was to import an image of the webpage (without the logo) as a second layer, and do a 'smart' semi-flatten between the transparent logo layer and the background image). This results in antialiasing against any background (doesn't need to be a solid color) as long as it isn't dynamic. Since I did this in Windows, and didn't want to compile everything, I wrote it in Script-Fu. Below is the code if someone finds it useful (Since it is doing pixel-by-pixel checks, it is very slow, and should really be in C, but it works for my needs). Also, while I am familiar with lisp, this is my first attempt at Script-Fu, so the code is pretty cludgy) .Geoff ;; -*-scheme-*- ;; This script will apply semi-flatten against a background layer ;; instead of just a solid color (define (script-fu-smart-semiflattern image drawable fg bkgnd) (gimp-image-undo-disable image) (if (or (or (= fg -1) (= bkgnd -1)) (= fg bkgnd)) t (let () (set! drawable fg) (set! width (car (gimp-drawable-width drawable))) (set! height (car (gimp-drawable-height drawable))) (set! y 0) (while ( y height) (gimp-progress-update (/ y height)) (set! x 0) (while ( x width) (set! pxll (gimp-drawable-get-pixel drawable x y)) (set! pxl (cadr pxll)) (set! alpha (aref pxl 3)) (if (or (= alpha 0) (= alpha -1)) t (let () ;(print alpha: ) ;(print x) ;(print y) ;(print alpha) (set! bgpxl (cadr (gimp-drawable-get-pixel bkgnd x y))) (set! a (aref pxl 3)) (if ( a 0) (set! a (+ 256 a))) (set! r (aref pxl 0)) (if ( r 0) (set! r (+ 256 r))) (set! rb (aref bgpxl 0)) (if ( rb 0) (set! rb (+ 256 rb))) (set! g (aref pxl 1)) (if ( g 0) (set! g (+ 256 g))) (set! gb (aref bgpxl 1)) (if ( gb 0) (set! gb (+ 256 gb))) (set! b (aref pxl 2)) (if ( b 0) (set! b (+ 256 b))) (set! bb (aref bgpxl 2)) (if ( bb 0) (set! bb (+ 256 bb))) (aset pxl 0 (/ (+ (* a r) (* (- 255 a) rb)) 255)) (aset pxl 1 (/ (+ (* a g) (* (- 255 a) gb)) 255)) (aset pxl 2 (/ (+ (* a b) (* (- 255 a) bb)) 255)) (aset pxl 3 255) (gimp-drawable-set-pixel drawable x y (car pxll) pxl) ) ) (set! x (+ x 1)) ) (set! y (+ y 1)) ) ) ) (gimp-image-undo-enable image) (gimp-displays-flush) ) (script-fu-register script-fu-smart-semiflatten __Smart Semi-Flatten Semi flatten against a background image.
