I'm a end user, and this is very important functionality for people who are professional users; they would like to keep the information that when did they take the picture, what is the camera shutter, etc. Since I can not write the codes; I'm a Linux user; gimp is the only and the best image editor in linux, I would like to know if any developer is interested in adding this functionality which is important for professional users.

The GIMP TIFF plug-in lacks support for Exif information. It should not be too difficult to add basic support to it. Basic means that the TIFF loader attaches the Exif information to the image and the TIFF writer writes any attached Exif data back to the file. If this is important for you, then I suggest that you add this functionality to the TIFF plug-in. If you need help, feel free to ask technical questions on the gimp-developer mailing-list. > I have done some tests on jpeg files; gimp will not strip the exif > information. That is correct. The JPEG plug-in has the functionality that is missing in the TIFF plug-in. I suggest that you have a look at the source code of the JPEG plug-in to find out how the JPEG plug-in deals with Exif. The TIFF plug-in should do something similar. > By the way, if I save these tiff images as another files, will gimp > also strip the icc profile? > (ps, will gimp strip the icc profile in jpeg?) No, if I remember correctly, both plug-ins read and write ICC profiles. Sven ___ Gimp-user mailing list Gimp-user@lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU https://lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU/mailman/listinfo/gimp-user

I wasn't that impressed with the TIFF file plugin though I use it to save lossless screenshots for articles. If you are worried it doesn't read the exif data you can try converting to JPEG first using ImageMagick and then loading it that way. I believe the JPEG plugin supports the EXIF data. Again, since I don't use EXIF much I'm not positive of any of this. You simply have to try it and find out. -- Michael J.

[Gimp-user] strange window behavior
Has the gimp changed or have I screwed something up? When I load a picture to edit what shows in the window is a section of the picture. Moving the window shows a different section of the picture. It's as though the picture were a fixed background. I certainly don't want that. What shows within the window should be controlled by the scrollbars, not by moving the window around.

I can't say if the TIFF file plugin supports this or not but there are some options on how to deal with the situation if it doesn't. First, load the TIFF images and then save them in JPEG at 100% quality. Technically that should be equivalent to TIFF since no compression is performed but I can't guarantee that. To convert back to TIFF you can use ImageMagick's convert tool. According to this discussion: http://www.imagemagick.org/discourse-server/viewtopic.php?f=1&t=11600 convert will retain EXIF data. This is true as long as you're simply converting formats and not resizing (such as creating thumbnails). Converting file formats is as simple as convert file.jpg file.tif > By the way, if I save these tiff images as another files, will gimp > also strip the icc profile? > (ps, will gimp strip the icc profile in jpeg?) I looked at using ICC profiles last month in an article I did for Linux Format magazine but I don't think I checked if the profiles were retained when saved. I think I assumed (bad idea) that they were. You'll simply have to try it and see. GIMP does support retaining ICC profiles when you open files that contain them. You're typically queried when you open the file if you want to keep it over convert it to GIMP's built in profile. > When will the gimp support the 16bit per channel color depth? When it's ready. :-) Actually, integration of the GEGL libraries is underway and a first release with GEGL support is due in the next release (due out "soon" but one can never assume when soon might arrive). I don't know if 16 bit channels are to be included in the next release (though I don't believe they are), but one of the purposes of integrating GEGL was to allow for higher color depths. So it should be in either the next release or one of the releases soon after that. -- Michael J.

[Gimp-user] gimp will strip the exif information in tiff file?
Dear all I'm using gimp to deal with my photos which are made of DSLR. These ttif files have embedded exif information, and every time I save these files; it seems that the exif information will be stripped. I have done some tests on jpeg files; gimp will not strip the exif information. How can I correctly deal with the exif in tiff by using gimp? By the way, if I save these tiff images as another files, will gimp also strip the icc profile? (ps, will gimp strip the icc profile in jpeg?) When will the gimp support the 16bit per channel color depth?

Spit is probably one of the worst cleaning solvents you can use... The nozzles are so small that particles in your spit will clog them. This is how the printer technician at my work does it: Place the cartridge head down in a shallow bowl with clean water. Leave it in for a few hours, wipe it of gently with a clean cloth rag. Do NOT use tissuepaper! Make sure its dry before you place it back into the printer again. This might have to be repeated, but its safe for the nozzles and ink. pgpUYNXb1CzjR.pgp Description: PGP signature ___ Gimp-user mailing list Gimp-user@lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU https://lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU/mailman/listinfo/gimp-user

[Gimp-user] Feature Request (Dot Deformation)
...Hi. Is this a good place to make a feature request?... --- This is a suggestion for a tool, for a future version of gimp. It's an idea I had when I saw the 'dove evolution' video, where they retouch a photo of a girl's face, making her neck longer, her eyes bigger, etc. With liquify (ps) and iWarp (gimp), you can do something similar, but it gets all blurred out, and you don't have enough control. So my idea is, adding dots to an image, gimp creates triangles with those, and then, you can move the dots, and gimp deform each triangle to fit the new position of the moved dots. The deformation feature is already in gimp, with 'shear' and 'distort'; so the only thing that might take long is the user interface. The dots should be moved individually, in groups, rotated in group, and scaled in group. The advantages of this idea for a tool, is that it doesn't blur (just deforms), you can choose what is affected and what's not (ex: move the head to make neck longer, leaving the head and the rest of the body intact, and the neck stretched), and you have a lot of precision. It's just an idea that might have lot of uses.
