[Gimp-user] Stripes in print (Gimp 2.6.7)
Hi, after editing a photograph of a girl I downloaded for free from Stockvault, I printed it out at a local drugstore (on one of those Kodak stations), but unfortunately the print contained a pattern of fine stripes. The woman in the drugstore told be that this must be due to to file. To test this, I printed the photograph out at another store of the same chain, but the stripes were still present, albeit not as strong as in the first print. My question: Did anyone experience this as well, and what can I do to avoid this in the future? I really zoomed in on the file (I'm using Gimp 2.6.7, and my display is gamma-corrected), but I couldn't detect any stripes. The file can be found here: http://home.arcor.de/ccyrny/images/posing-girl_03_15x20.jpg Thanks for any recommendations, Claus -- Flickr http://www.flickr.com/photos/claus_01/5121520814/#/photos/claus_01/5121520814/lightbox/ ___ Gimp-user mailing list Gimp-user@lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU https://lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU/mailman/listinfo/gimp-user

The shift is intentional. Regarding the stripes: I found out that this is a gamma issue.On my (gamma-corrected; gamma = 1.0) display the stripes are not visible. If I reduce the gamma to 0.5, the image becomes visibly darker, and then I can see the stripes as well. The Kodak system on which I printed the file has no gamma correction, either--thus the stripes. I made a simple image file to check the gamma of the Kodak system, in order to find the proper correction value. Then I'm hoping that the stripes should disappear. Thanks to all who responded.

[Gimp-user] 16-bit - why the long delay?
Hi all, after this has first been announced, I think, in 2002 (!), I wonder why 16-bit/channel has still not been implemented. Two years ago (or something like this) I read that 16-bit would be available in 2.6, but now someone stated that it would probably take a few more years (!). IMHO, 16-bit should be right on top of the list of priorities, now that GEGL has been implemented--at least it's definitely more important than, say yet another new icon set for Gimp. And anti-aliasing could also be improved. Programs such as Krita (I'm using Ubuntu) have much better anti-aliasing. I really enjoy working with the Gimp (currently 2.6.8), but especially 16-bit is really long overdue.

Yes, but still with the same 85% quality you may obtain different
results by changing other parameters.
Just look at the following example. Note the file size for each, but
most of all, look at the color quality and the outline of objects
(the files are quite small; save them somewhere and look at them by
switching forth and back so you can notice the differences).
The JPEG were both saved with 85%, but one with subsample for best
quality and the other with subsample for minimum file size:

http://www.secarica.ro/misc/monopoly_gimp_hi_quality.jpg
http://www.secarica.ro/misc/monopoly_gimp_minim_size.jpg
Take the .bmp and do further tests with the save options.
Yep, the only one where I could see a difference was with the last one.
It still seems counter intuitive that opening a JPG (even if it is a
photo rather than a computer generated image) and immediately saving it
with 100% quality increases the size by 2.5 .
The exampe image is actually not well-suited for JPG. For this one,
indexed PNG would work much better. Som, this comparisonis actually
misleading. It would actually be better use a photo for this.
When I was still using Windows (I'm under Ubuntu Karmic now), I used
Ulead's SmartSaver, where one can view the original the optimized image
at the same time and tweak the settings until one is satisfied with the
result.
I usually have compression set to '90%'. Due to quality reasons, I never go
below that. Additionally, for DCT (Discrete Cosinus Transformation), I am
using 'Fast Integer', not 'Floating Point' (further loss, AFAIK). ('DCT'
is part
of the JPG compression process, which works in several steps.)

Re: [Gimp-user] Fading to transparency tutorial?

Hi there everyone,
Quite a while ago, I used a tutorial on GUG for fading an image to
transparency, which I wanted to use as the top of a web page background. For
clarification, you can look here at the image:
http://personal.schwim.net/images/share/snowflake_background.jpg
I'm trying to do the same thing now, but with grass to green. The problem
I'm having is that I can't remember how I did it and GUG went the way of the
spam farm :)
I remember it was two layers, one with transforming black to transparent at
the midline, using gaussian(I think) blur to soften the line of transormation
and then overlaying, but I can't remember the details enough to reproduce it.
Does someone know of an alternate location for the tutorial that I need or
maybe more detailed instructions leading to the same end?
Those are basically two layers: On the bottom layer there's the blue (in
your case,
green) gradient, the snowflakes are on a transparent second layer. To
achieve the
transitional effect, apply a black-to-white gradient as a layer mask to
the snowflakes
layer ('Layers Add Layer Mask', with the default setting; then apply
the black-to-white
gradient to this layer, and as a third step, 'Apply Layer Mask'.
Finally, merge the two
layers with 'Flatten Image' or CTRL+M (Merge Visible Layers). That's
basically it.
HTH,
Claus

I usually make a second layer for the drawing and make this semi-transparent [via the Layers menu]. This way, you still see the photograph on the bottom layer. When you're finished drawing, all you have to do is, to delete the photograph, make the second layer fully opaque again, select the drawing you made [CTRL + A] and export the drawing as a PNG [CTRL SHIFT + E].

[Gimp-user] Calibrating one's system
Hi, after posting on ICC profiles, I realized (via several online documents) that the first step is actually, to calibrate the monitor. I found two tutorials on this, but when trying to calibrate my Fujitsu-Siemens monitor (Scaleoview 19-2 TFT) by using the first tutorial at scarse.org, I had to realize that this didn't work at all. After checking the system gamma and correcting it according to the patterns at the site see http://www.scarse.org/adjust/ I wasn't able to set either black (http://www.scarse.org/adjust/black.html) or white (http://www.scarse.org/adjust/white.html) point. They are simply out of the range of what I can adjust via the OSD (On-Screen Display). Now I am asking myself if this tutorial is probably only for CRTs. I then tried another tutorial by Norman Koren at http://www.normankoren.com/makingfineprints1A.html This seems to be much better, and he mentions a variety of other online sources with test images, software for calibration/ gamma correction, etc. But when trying to correct the gamma of my system, I got two different correction values (monitor: see above; OS: Ubuntu 8.10/i386): 1.4 (http://www.scarse.org/adjust/gamma.html) 1.4 (http://www.normankoren.com/makingfineprints1A.html#gammachart) 1.76 (LProf - http://lprof.sourceforge.net/) My question: What is the proper correction value? 1.4? Does anyone know what the differences between calibrating CRTs and TFTs are? Those issues aside, I find the topic very exciting. For those interested, here are a few recommendable sites I came across: - http://www.scarse.org/adjust/ (see above) - http://www.normankoren.com/makingfineprints1A.html (see above) - http://www.digitaldog.net/tips/index.shtml (reference images more) - http://www.eci.org/doku.php?id=en:start (ICC profiles for offset printing, docs on the proper use of PDF, etc. - http://lprof.sourceforge.net/ (calibration software for Linux) - http://docs.scribus.net/index.php?lang=enpage=moncal (LProf HOWTO at the Scribus site) Cheers, Claus -- Claus Cyrny : Webdesign | Grafik | Fotografie :: Web: http://home.arcor.de/ccyrny/ ::. :: Fotos: http://photo.net/photodb/slideshow?folder_id=714471 ::. ___ Gimp-user mailing list Gimp-user@lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU https://lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU/mailman/listinfo/gimp-user

[Gimp-user] Gimp 2.6.1 on Ubuntu 8.10
Hi, I'm posting this again, since I really would like to check out the new features in Gimp 2.6. As I posted a few weeks ago, Gimp 2.6.1 crashes each time I try to perform a filter, color adjustment, etc., so that I had to install 2.4.7 in order to have a working bitmap editor. This happened since I upgraded to Ubuntu 8.10. Someone suggested that it might have to do with my outdated hardware (AMD K6 II/350 MHz), but since I don't have the money right now to buy a new computer, I would like to know if anyone has an idea what I could do to fix this problem. When running Gimp out of a shell, I am getting: (script-fu:5142): LibGimpBase-WARNING **: script-fu: gimp_wire_read(): error Illegal instruction My guess is that it might have to do with GEGL, but on the other hand I am assuming that Synaptic would automatically install all the required packages. (I don't want to have to compile anything; if there's a fix for it I need to install additional packages, I would prefer .deb files.) I did have the latest 'libgimp' installed (I downgraded to the version for Gimp 2.4.7 in the meantime), and I am not using compiz (as Chris asked me the last time I posted on this.) Especially after reading this very good thorough review of Gimp 2.6, I would like to check out the Gimp's new possibilities. Two thing I am personally missing are a) 16-bit support, as well as b) better anti-aliasing. While there are workarounds to improve the latter, Gimp still doesn't output the quality of say, Photoshop. I especially become aware of this when using curves to get a chromium effect, or applying 'Lighting Effects', where I am frequently getting 'stripes' instead of smooth gradients. I don't know, though, how much this has been improved upon in Gimp 2.6.

In your case, I found that scaling the logo down with the option 'bicubic' works best. Then copy the logo on a second layer set the layer mode to 'Multiply'. Then reduce the transparency slightly, until the blue looks almost like in the original (it will become somewhat darker due to the different layer mode). Merge the image down apply an 'Unsharp Mask' to it with the amount'25'. Finally, apply 'Colors Hue/Saturation Lightness', until you have the original blue again.

[Gimp-user] KPT for the Gimp?
Hi, does anyone know if there is a Script-Fu available somewhere which emulates Kai's Power Tools (KPT)? I once had KPT v 3 under Corel PHOTO-PAINT, and it had some really nice fx. What I'm particularly looking for is the KPT tool which has a sort of magnifying glass as an interface, which allowed you to apply warps to an image. I didn't manage to get this effect by using the filters/Script-Fu's available in the Gimp.

Re: [Gimp-user] removing the background from a scanned text
Hi Ed, Ed wrote: Hello all, My knowledge of Gimp and image editing borderlines /dev/null so bare with me please! Is there a way to make the background transparent so that only the hand written text remain after I have scanned a document... or do I need a tablet? The document is scanned via xsane so I can have it in multiple formats, TIFF, JPEG, ... Any help would be apreciated, thanks :) you could achieve this by selecting the entire scan, copying it into the clip- board, and then using this copy as a layer mask. I am presuming that the text as such is grayscale; otherwise you could first duplicate the layer (the scan is most likely on the background layer) then convert it to a grayscale via 'Layer Colors Desaturate'. The following steps would be (there are actually several ways to achieve this, but I'm trying to make it as simple as possible): 1. 'Duplicate layer' (the layer with the scan; the text should be in grayscale by now; otherwise see above). 2. Invert the colors of the duplicated layer via 'Layer Colors Invert'. (This is, btw, an easy way to invert colors in general.) 3. Copy the inverted channel into the clipboard via 'CTRL + A', 'CTRL + C'. 4. Go to the layer with the scan, and apply 'Layer Mask Add Layer Mask...'. 5. Copy the contents of the clipboard into the mask by simply applying 'CTRL + V', 'CTRL + H'. 6. The last step would be 'Layer Colors Apply Layer Mask...'. This will remove the background from the scan, leaving only the text. In case that the remaining text is somewhat 'edgy', applying 'Filters Blur Blur' after step 1. can probably help.

Re: [Gimp-user] removing the background from a scanned text
P.S.: To keep the transparency, you should finally save the text either as TIFF, PNG, or XCF. JPEG doesn't support transparency. Claus ___ Gimp-user mailing list Gimp-user@lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU https://lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU/mailman/listinfo/gimp-user
[Gimp-user] Realistic textures
Hi all, as a good alternative to the commonly used 'tiling' textures, there's a great plug-in http://www.logarithmic.net/pfh/resynthesizer for the Gimp, written by Paul Harrison http://www.logarithmic.net/pfh/. This creates so-called 'near-regular' textures. For more on this, please see Texture Synthesis on Near-regular and Irregular Textures http://www.cs.cmu.edu/afs/cs.cmu.edu/user/yanxi/www/images/Texture/index.html. An example of how I used this plug-in can be found at my blog: http://grafomatic.twoday.net/stories/3401251/.

Re: [Gimp-user] GIMP throwing away TIFF tags
scott s. wrote: Paul Surgeon wrote: Ok so let's throw the tags away. Is there anyway to get GIMP to use libgeotiff instead of libtiff? libgeotiff is built on top of libtiff. I have to touch up hundreds of aerial photos and it's a PITA to have to save and then reapply the projection every time I save an image in GIMP. Avenza Systems sell a Photoshop CS plugin called Geographic Imager that handles GIS formats but it also does far more than what I need and am willing to pay for ($600). I also wish there was an option to keep Geotiff tags in images. At least the current version of GIMP I use only raises 3 errors, vs the many errors I got in the past.

Hi,
I feel like my question might be very stupid :
I would like to know who to copy the alpha channel of an image to
another image.
Simpy select the alpha channel with 'select all' ([CTRL]+A)
and copy it into the clipboard. Then go to the second image
where you want to insert the alpha channel, select the image
([CTRL]+A again), and copy this selection into an alpha channel
('Select Save to Channel'). Then just select this new alpha
channel in the 'Layers/Channels' menu and paste the alpha channel
([CTRL]+A, [CTRL]+H) from the clipboard into it. That's all.

[Gimp-user] 16-bit support/color management
Hi, after reading through a number of old posts to the devel-list, I subscribed to this list again (after some time of absence), because I'm not a programmer/developer, but a user. With the advent of new bitmap editors like CinePaint (ok, basically not for stills, but for 35mm film), Krita or Pixel, which are available for Linux (I am working under Ubuntu Breezy at the moment, and am about upgrading to Edgy sometime next month), I'm asking myself what the current state of the development of 16-bit support color management for the Gimp is. (All of the above mentioned programs do include those features, as does Photoshop. I don't want the Gimp to become a second Photoshop, since the interface basically has a different approach, but I guess that, after so-and-so many years of delay, it's important to finally include those features. Otherwise I am foreseeing a major shift particularly of pro users to other programs.) Last year I read in a preview of Gimp 2.4 that 16-bit/channel is supposed to be included in v 2.4. My questions: a) Is this correct, and b) Are there any rough 'directions' for Gimp development? I'm hoping that this isn't off-topic for the 'users' list, but as I said, I'm just a user (so far) with little experience in programming, so it made no sense to me to subscribe to the devel list.
