[Gimp-user] Make scm files show up.
Like many installations, I am the only user of the computer. So I put it there. Now it appears at the foot of the filter menu. Progress! I create a canvas and click on gimpscripter. Should not a window appear? If not how do I terminate my gimpscripter session? Sounds like you just have the plugin-gimpscripter.py file. Also needed is a whole sub-directory of files gimpscripter go here https://github.com/bootchk/gimpscripter/archives/master download the zip file unpack it and you will see. -- rich (via gimpusers.com) ___ Gimp-user mailing list Gimp-user@lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU https://lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU/mailman/listinfo/gimp-user
[Gimp-user] Need tutorials and other information about ufraw
I am starting to do raw images with my Nikon D90. I have ufraw both as a gimp plugin and a standalone program under Fedora Linux 14. I have started to look at the ufraw User's Guide at the ufraw website, but it would be helpful to have some tutorials or other guides if they exist. I already found that ufraw doesn't correct for lens distortion adequately. According the the ufraw forum at sourceforge, this is a known problem. I can do the lens correction with ufraw manually, but there are three parameters, and it is hard to figure out how to adjust them visually. The gimplensfun filter for gimp does a much better job. It reads the lens data from the exif information in the image, and makes the correction based on the lensfun database. ufraw is supposed to do something like that, but it gets it wrong. -- Leonard Evens l...@math.northwestern.edu Professor Emeritus, Department of Mathematics, Northwestern University ___ Gimp-user mailing list Gimp-user@lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU https://lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU/mailman/listinfo/gimp-user
[Gimp-user] Enhancement for Gimp menus
I'm using Gimp 2.6.11 on a Solaris 10 SPARC platform. Often I want to switch between two closely related items selected from a pop-up window (e.g., brushes) or pull-down menu (e.g., fonts). For example, I might be switching between Century Gothic and Century Gothic Bold fonts. If the bold font is currently selected and I access the menu, the current font is at the top of the list and I always have to scroll back a screen to get the normal weight font. This is a minor inconvenience, but becomes a major pain if you have to do it all day long. I suggest enhancing the code slightly to display the currently selected items in the center of the list or window when they are opened. I would also suggest making the default size of pop-up windows (brushes, patterns, etc.) be larger, or better, let Gimp persistently remember the resized and repositioned user settings for these objects.

I normally use a tablet, and resort to using the 'up arrow' key in the situation you describe. Inkscape does a fair job with its font list.

[Gimp-user] R: Need tutorials and other information about ufraw
I can do the lens correction with ufraw manually, but there are three parameters, and it is hard to figure out how to adjust them visually. After a very quick googling I landed here: http://wiki.panotools.org/Lens_correction_model As far as I can understand, this is the model used by UFRaw. You might calibrate the parameters for each of your lenses with the aid of the model and some reference image (e.g. you can print a grid on paper and take a photo with your lenses, setting the zooms at significant positions like max wide/max tele/center). Then you can guess the parameters by analyzing the correction formula, or you can even write a distortion measure and minimize it analytically - I am sure you have the necessary background to do that, and it can even be fun to do it. ___ Gimp-user mailing list Gimp-user@lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU https://lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU/mailman/listinfo/gimp-user

Actually, I am familiar with the lens model, and at one point I tried to calculate the coefficients for a lens I had. It is not conceptually difficult, but it is harder in practice to do than one might imagine. I would rather not do it if it has already been done. As I remarked, the gimplensfun filter does a very good job based on what it finds in the exif file, and it works very well for my 18-200 mm Nikkor lens. So ufraw should be able to do as well. I think it is bug in ufraw and I hope someone will fix it soon. ___ Gimp-user mailing list Gimp-user@lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU https://lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU/mailman/listinfo/gimp-user -- Leonard Evens l...@math.northwestern.edu Professor Emeritus, Department of Mathematics, Northwestern University ___ Gimp-user mailing list Gimp-user@lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU https://lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU/mailman/listinfo/gimp-user

I've installed darktable, but I had a lot of trouble running the videos which were promised. I guess I will use the manual. Is darktable supposed to substitute for gimp altogether? Meanwhile Hugin 2011.2.0 is coming with lens calibration UI (just in case you're interested). I am interested. I've used hugin to create panoramas with my view camera. I make two or three exposures on color negative film using a panoramic head, scan them and then combine them with hugin. It allowed me to take a picture of a building facade from relatively close up with my 75 mm (roughly equivalent to 18-23 mm in 35 mm) lens which I couldn't possibly do in one exposure. Of course with a view camera lens, the lens distortion is so small that it is not usually worth worrying about. The problem with hugin is that the learning curve is pretty steep, and I don't use it often enough to remember how to use it.

I haven't looked in detail, but I wasn't able to find any color management in darktable. I want my photoediting tools to at least take account of my display profile. Apparently, ufraw does do so through use of the system display profile. The problem with hugin is that the learning curve is pretty steep, and I don't use it often enough to remember how to use it.
