[Gimp-user] Wouldn't you all like to be able to perform basic calucations in dimension fields?

2011-09-30 Thread Sophoklis Goumas
Let me explain what I mean.

Have a look at: Image - Canvas Size.

Wouldn't it be sweet if, in the height and width property field, you
could type something like 200+100 or 350*2 and when that field lost
focus the calculation would be made and then the value would be: 300
or 700 retrospectively?

Try opening it with Gimp.
You'll see that each frame opens in gimp as a new layer.

I can't surely recognise the filter used but I think it might be Whirl
and Pinch [1].

 IMHO: motion blur (radial) and a couple of frames with that rotated
 10-15° CW and CCW, I'd say.


I agree.
Radial motion blur is surely what you're looking for.
But nevertheless, you can experiment with whatever you like.

[Gimp-user] How to remove background of shadowed and/or low-resolution and/or more complex images

2011-05-24 Thread Sophoklis Goumas
Hello everyone and especially to the gimp-user mailing list regulars.

I am trying to create a network infrastructure diagram for where I
work with Dia. (In fact it will actually help me much more than anyone
else, but that's not the subject.)

For this I am putting into the diagram, images of: servers, switches,
racks and so on. What I wish for those images is to have transparent
background. So far, I've been able to find decent resolution images
which it's because I've started with the latest hardware.
Here's an example, let's say for our Dell PowerEdge 6850 servers if found this:
http://www.shopricom.com/items/www.shopricom.com/photos/Image78N743uMRZ_full.jpg

which by fuzzy selecting the white background, with a threshold of
15.0 and some selection subtractions I've been able to turn to:
http://i.imgur.com/xyCYn.png
which is nice for what I wish to use it for.

Now, I've been able to handle some easy likewise situations but now
I've reached the vintage hardware and got bad results. Let me show an
example image:
http://www.superwarehouse.com/images/products/HP_Proliant_ml370.jpg

This is more difficult to make it look as I wish since it's resolution
it's not decent and it also has a shadow effect which hardens a
precise initial selection which can then be worked out to a better
result.

After some efforts I either end up with a pixelized image or with a
severely chopped image.

So, my question is how could I achieve the desired result for this and
such images?
How would do you work out similar or even more advanced cases?

Thanks in advance for your time and attention,
Sophoklis

Re: [Gimp-user] How can you make files open in one instance of gimp?

 I'd really like to make the same instance of gimp open the
 photos, but I'm not sure how to do that.


This:
% gimp file1 file2
will open both files in the same Gimp window.

While this:
% gimp file1  gimp file2 
will open each file to a seperate Gimp window.
