[Gimp-user] restoring faded transparencies
Quoting geoff for...@gimpusers.com: I was scanning a lot of colour transparencies, some taken up to 40 years ago, and found that in some cases the colours had deteriorated badly. After a lot of experimenting I have developed an automatic way of improving the digital scans using gimp. I have put a technical article, the gimp plug-in, and a collection of the good and bad results at www.lionhouse.plus.com/photosoftware/restore. I would be interested in hearing from anyone who has worked on this problem and if you try the plug-in let me know how it works for your pictures. Your script produces some very impressive results and your methodology is quite ingenious. I especially like how you exploit the quantization capabilities of GIMP (i.e., using Indexed colormaps). I was wondering what licensing your script is released under. There is room for improvement of your script, particularly with regard to its behavior as a GIMP plug-in and it would be easier to develop your script further if it were licensed to allow the sharing of derivatives (GPL, BSD, etc). This is especially true if your main interest lies with the image algorithms and you are less interested in the demands of the GIMP plug-in interface (e.g., handling UNDO, honoring selections, providing more flexible utility, menu location, etc). One thing that should be fixed fairly soon is that your script seems to produce a hidden image (i.e., no view associated) and neglect to remove it when finished. Regards. Thanks for your message. As you deduce I am more interested in the processing algorithm than the coding. There are too many poor results at the moment and I suspect there will be modifications to the method when I have more experience of its performance. For this reason I have not put it on a gimp site. I am happy for anyone to develop the plug-in further and improve the interface but there is not much point until the algorithm is unlikely to change. I have killed the spurious hidden image which was left over from the way of correcting the side absorptions. -- geoff ___ Gimp-user mailing list Gimp-user@lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU https://lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU/mailman/listinfo/gimp-user
[Gimp-user] using levels on layer
I haven't found a way to use the levels tool on one layer only. Is it possible to do this, to adjust the color of a layer rather than the image?

[Gimp-user] Fwd: Re: using levels on layer
---BeginMessage--- No, I checked again -- I have background, background duplicate, and a top layer. On the top layer, I used the crop tool on that layer only, which leaves a lot of background showing around edges. I'd like to run levels just on bkgrd (or bkground duplicate). Maybe there a tool properties setting that I've missed.

I tried to soft proof it using viewdisplay and then selecting color management and color proof. There was no change in the image. In theory there should be gray bars in the image where the CMYK gamut did not cover some shades. What more do I need to do to use soft proofing? If icc color profiles are needed how do I make them available to Gimp 2.6.5? I have various icc profiles in ~/colors for use by Scribus. You can either configure GIMP for Soft Proofing in the Color Management section in the Preferences dialog, or, if you insist on doing it the hard way, use View-Display Filters and set up the display filter manually. Of course you will need color profiles. But it should be obvious where to set them, no?
