[Gimp-user] How do I apply the same layer mask to multiple images?
I don't think this went through last time. Sorry if you got it twice. I want to apply the same layer mask to 8 to 12 tiff images. It's a simple alpha mask to turn a portion of the tiff images transparent. I have saved the alpha mask as a tiff file. Should I save it as another type of file? The I can open the layer mask file as a layer and apply it one by one to each image. But that's a lot of repetitious clicking and pointing. What would be a better faster way to do this? ___ Gimp-user mailing list Gimp-user@lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU https://lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU/mailman/listinfo/gimp-user

I used to do it in CMYK a long time ago with photoshop by just pushing the image to CMYK and inverting the K curve. I guess something might be done with decompose color filter or so. But the quicker/best average i've found is just adding a mask based on the layer (L from Lab or N form CMYK could be used too), and play with the curve to adapt to the shades+refine with brush on mask. It takes few seconds if the picture is not too complex. Then put a white layer below and it's quite done.

Re: [Gimp-user] Complaint
I'm guessing that there are very few people who know how to use every feature of GIMP. And probably even fewer that actually use every feature of GIMP in whatever task they do. You can learn what you need to do with a little work and not a lot of time once you get the idea of layers and channels sorted out. That would be the first thing to figure out IMHO. Then just learn what you need to do as you need to do it.

There is nothing wrong with it and there is nothing wrong with bottom posting. Its a preference. I have no idea where the top=bad and bottom=good came from. This was certainly not present in Email discourse that I was party to 15 years ago, and neither when I started using Email, which would have been in 1988. The first time I was berated for top posting was sometime in 1998, and I was somewhat surprised. I am amazed that it is a problem, and I don't know why it is. Top posting, IMO, is logical. It allows the recipient to immediately read the reply instead of scrolling down to the bottom of the Email: The recipient does not have to read the entire thread, because he is already involved with the discussion and requires the current comment. One could argue that when achieved, it is easier to read from the top down to the final note at the bottom, but as a quick form of communication, especially on a mailing list and also in an environment where we want to save a little time, its a pain in the arse. I propose, that someone creates a new project that reads mailing list archives, identifies those that contain top-posting discourse, and then rearrange the offending archive into a bottom posting archive. All we need is someone with spare time, and a computer! However, I don't care whether someone uses top or bottom posting. [Yes, I know that someone will read the above and say, 'well you wrote that you don't have a preference, and later you state that bottom posting is a pain in the arse.'

Re: [Gimp-user] GIMP vs Photoshop
There are a few things that GIMP needs to be competitive with PS. 1) A decent batch processor and I'm not talking about learning a whole programming language to do so. 2) 16 bit color. 3) Better zonal control so one can adjust light and dark areas of a digital photo more easily so as to enhance shadow detail and reduce highlight blowout. 4) A better raw converter.

Hey people, I didn't start this thread. Don't grind my ass... All I did was mention the obvious features that GIMP doesn't have compared to PS. And I meant competitive *WITH* not *AGAINST* PS.

Why would anyone get their knickers in a bunch about that and start shouting ...put up or shut up... To be clear, I will *NEVER* work on the innards of GIMP.

Once I printed out the 880 pages of the Kylander Manual but that dated back to version 1 or thereabouts. That was as I recall in a single file. Therefore I could print it out using poor man's duplexing, (even pages first, then reload the paper stack and print odds.) ___ Gimp-user mailing list Gimp-user@lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU https://lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU/mailman/listinfo/gimp-user
Re: [Gimp-user] 2.6.X manual
It's on a Windows 2000 machine. I downloaded and installed the user guide into: E:\GIMP\GIMP-2.0\share\gimp\2.0\help\en Then I opened the Preferences dialog and looked at the Help System menu item. There is a choice to use the online help or a locally installed copy. I select Use a locally installed copy but the dialog announces that The user manual is not installed locally. When I try to open the help system using either my default browser (FF2) or GIMP's help browser, I'm again told I don't have the help manual installed. So I guess I don't have the manual in the right place. I'm real close but don't have it working quite yet.

Re: [Gimp-user] UFRaw as Gimp Plug In blurry pics. . . why?
Noise Ninja works very well -- for some things. For outdoor nature shots, it works too well. Reducing noise takes the detail out of natural textures like snow, water, forests and ground cover. Noise Ninja makes great skys and clouds though. But you have to fiddle to get the rest of the detail back using the un-noise brush. But Noise Ninja is a real handy tool. Just so you know Noise Ninga is available on the Noise Ninga site (picturecode.com) in rpm and deb packages. It's proprietary, but seems to work fairly well after you take the time to set it up correctly. You can try it out for free, but must buy a license to save anything you want to keep as the demo puts a grid over the top of the picture. ___ Gimp-user mailing list Gimp-user@lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU https://lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU/mailman/listinfo/gimp-user ___ Gimp-user mailing list Gimp-user@lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU https://lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU/mailman/listinfo/gimp-user
Re: [Gimp-user] UFRaw as Gimp Plug In blurry pics. . . why?
On Windows, I can go to GIMP\bin and type ufraw-batch in a Dos command window. I can also type ufraw -help and that brings up a large window full of options -- that unfortunately goes off the bottom of my screen so I can't read the whole thing. I found that if I save the configuration in ufraw, that the next file that opens uses that configuration. However, I shoot portrate mode for my panoramas and so I have to manually rotate each image as it is loaded. The configuration does not seem to save that instruction. I found out that ufraw-batch takes an ID file. But I do not know the format of the ID file or how one might generate one. I googled around for ufraw id files and found this: http://osp.wikidot.com/tutorials But this page -- which is has the UFRaw tutorial doesn't exist. http://serge.mankovski.com/photoblog/raw-processing-in-gimp/ Perhaps you can point me in the right direction again... norman wrote: Why don't you have a look at http://ufraw.sourceforge.net/Guide.html there is a reference there to batch processing using ufraw-batch?

[Gimp-user] Another question about batch processing in GIMP...
I want to use Filters - Distorts - Lens Distortion on sets of up to 24 images of a panorama. They are all the same size and format but suffer from a little mustache distortion. Lens Distortion can actually undue that kind of distortion if applied carefully. But I shoot a lot of panos and I don't want to do hundreds of images one at a time. I know about Davids Batch Processor but that nice tool isn't extendable as far as I know. If it is extendable so that I could add Lens Distortion to its quiver, that would work. How would I do batch processing using Lens Distortion? Does anyone have any suggestions other than to spend 3 months learning Scheme? ___ Gimp-user mailing list Gimp-user@lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU https://lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU/mailman/listinfo/gimp-user
Re: [Gimp-user] Another question about batch processing in GIMP...
Hey David, No, I haven't looked at G'MIC. I will. Doing panoramas one has to do exactly the same thing to a set of images. I'm sure you know that. Really hard to do stuff like that in GIMP. Seems a weakness. But otherwise -- I love the GIMP. I wish I had a Wilber hat. Ken David Gowers wrote: Hi Ken!

[Gimp-user] Is there a moustache distorion correction plugin for GIMP
I have a wide angle converter lens (Nikon WC63) that induces a mustache distortion. I googled for a GIMP plugin that might be able to correct this distortion but didn't find one. Usually when I don't find a necessary GIMP component with Google that means it doesn't exist. But I thought I'd try here.

[Gimp-user] I need a tutorial on how to edit an alpha mask/channel...
I know how to turn on Quick Mask and paint a selection -- turn it into an alpha mask and save the image with the alpha mask and it works fine. Where I get totally lost is when I want to re-edit (re-open the image) the image later and change the alpha mask/channel. I've googled for information but all of what I find is years old and don't quite apply to the current release. Other stuff on some forums is so vague and convoluted that I get lost trying to understand what they are trying to do. What I want to do is simple -- I just want to change the shape of the alpha mask/channel to make it cover or reveal other parts of the image. Where would a SIMPLE tutorial be on just doing that? For example: I have a transparent spot in the middle of the alpha mask/channel that I want to make opaque so that I can see the image in that spot again. How do I do that? ___ Gimp-user mailing list Gimp-user@lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU https://lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU/mailman/listinfo/gimp-user

I need to white balance some panoramas shot under high frequency florescent light. I've googled around. Apparently there is a bunch of scm around. Which is the best?

[Gimp-user] Newbie trying to learn the proper way to specify arguments to script-fu scripts...
Hi, Just trying to learn how to specify arguments to script-fu scripts. There's a lot of useful scripts there. I was first trying to get script-fu-text-circle to work and the Procedure Browser brings up the documentation that indicates that the first argument is run-mode INT32 Interactive, non-interactive And the command line is: (script-fu-text-circle run-mode string value value value value toggle font) Well, if you specify run-mode, the script won't work. Leaving out the run mode argument so that the command line is: (script-fu-text-circle string value value value value toggle font) The script runs beautifully. Now all the scripts seem to have this run-mode argument which I suppose that you all know to ignore. It took me a couple of hours to figure that out. So now I'm on to explore other scripts. And looking at some, I see that there is an image; drawable and color arguments in some. (script-fu-t-o-p-logo-alpha run-mode image drawable value value value toggle color color) So my question (finally) is: How does one specify arguments like image; drawable and color? Could some kind person email me a step by step guide to specifying the more complicated arguments to a script-fu script?
