I'm not sure there is so many gimp about gimp that publishers have reach the point to do so specialized things. But It would be nice if i am wrong. pygmee ___ Gimp-user mailing list Gimp-user@lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU https://lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU/mailman/listinfo/gimp-user
[Gimp-user] last contribution call for LGM brochure
Hi, LGM brochure should already be finished but we are a bit late. Only Jimmac answered my last call for contribution, so i would like toinforme you again that you can send your pictures to me. For info, the brochure will be distributed in 4000 ex in the canadian magazin Grafika. The purpose is to promote FLOSS and especially graphic software and touch professionals and graphic designers there and worldwide. Pictures must give a professional aspect (of course) but don't think you're not good enough. If you like your work, may be others will. Please, send high resolution or at least big picture in pixel size, and don't forget credits+licence if necessary Cheers cedric (pygmee) ___ Gimp-user mailing list Gimp-user@lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU https://lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU/mailman/listinfo/gimp-user
Re: [Gimp-user] Non printable colors
We can understand the question if we imagine that some user still use Photoshop. Alexandre is right to say that in in Free DTP Software process, Gimp don't need mark out of gamut colors. It is the same for Color management. But in Adobe's process, all these steps are taken in charge by Photoshop. So if you use GIMP+InDesign, you miss this functionnality somewhere. But i've atthis time no solution for that. Cedric pygmee ___ Gimp-user mailing list Gimp-user@lists.xcf.berkeley.edu http://lists.xcf.berkeley.edu/mailman/listinfo/gimp-user
[Gimp-user] RE : Using lab
Lab is very interesting for photo retouch because Luminosity (better said Luminance) is separated from colors. It is the most complete color model so that Photoshop uses it when you want to change the color mode. + gives more precise result. But out of that, it is much more difficult to conceive things with L*a*b. Gimp does not implement it except in the Decompose Filter. May be another thing to do :) Cedric ___ Gimp-user mailing list Gimp-user@lists.xcf.berkeley.edu http://lists.xcf.berkeley.edu/mailman/listinfo/gimp-user

[Gimp-user] Lanczos interpolation method
Testing 2.3, i can there is new interpolation method called Lanczos. It is described as being better than cubic. Does anyboy know simply :) how it works with the picture ? Cedric ___ Gimp-user mailing list Gimp-user@lists.xcf.berkeley.edu http://lists.xcf.berkeley.edu/mailman/listinfo/gimp-user
[Gimp-user] Publishing Gimp book
I'm not sure that the speed Gimp is developed can stop publisher. Of course they like to have up2date docs but as they think in years, they will usually work on book update when necessary. For those who want to self-publish book, it is easily possible. That's what have been done for [a la] SOS GIMP (http://www.le-radar.com), which is a FGDL book. Translation of it could be done. For people who to test that : a first is an average of 6 month work. Application documentation are very hard to do as they have to be very precise. If Olivier need some help for self publication in France, i can help. I also would like to say that i'm working on a new book. Not a learning one, but an example one, with graphists tips. 3 people are already OK to contribute, but other are welcome. The purpose is to show what good job can be do with free softwares (we know that but not everybody). If self published this book could be under a Free licence.

[Gimp-user] Tiff compression options
Reading Tiff specs for Scribus Team, we saw that Tiif could have JPEG compression. We add a simple question : is gimp implementation of Tiff jpeg compression lossless ?

[Gimp-user] Alpha Channel Continuing.
OK. Understood. But i think something is quite strange (it's UI, only). Alpha Channel is displayed in the upper part of the window. I thought this part was made for permanent informations (such as primary channels), but it seems that the alpha is dealing only with the active layer. Does anybody have an explanation of that behavior ! Cedric ___ Gimp-user mailing list Gimp-user@lists.xcf.berkeley.edu http://lists.xcf.berkeley.edu/mailman/listinfo/gimp-user
[Gimp-user] Alpha Channel
I wonder why, when Opening or creating a document, there are only 3 color channel and then, when creatin a layer, the alpha is coming. What this stand for ? Cedric ___ Gimp-user mailing list Gimp-user@lists.xcf.berkeley.edu http://lists.xcf.berkeley.edu/mailman/listinfo/gimp-user
[Gimp-user] X an Y resolution
When creating a new document, we have two fields. I've always used the same value but if they are 2 it is certainly because there is one.

[Gimp-user] Changing gimp menus
I think some menus or not necessary. Especially Dialogs. I find now more useful to use windows menus to open a new one.

[Gimp-user] Thoughts about channels
May be someone has another feeling, but i've found today strange behaviors. 1. Copy Visible does not copie visible, but the visible of layer aspect. Explanation : just deactivate a channel (R for exemple) the copy visible picture is the same as if they were all activated. Is there any way to overpass that ? 2. It seems that is is not possible to delete a primary channel (contextual menuitem is always grayed). What about if I want to do a 2-channel picture, particularly for 'professional' print ? 3. Strange behavior also, it can't succeed in pasting a channel or layer content on another channel (for exemple, pasting R content on G). Shall I need to use the Channel Mixer to do this ? 4. I've used Decompose to CMYK to get a black channel and increase contrast on a document. But i've been surprise, because after doing the same in Adobe Photoshop, the black channels were different ? Is that normal ? What have I bas done, if any ? As I always do, some special congratulations to David for his Batch Processor that should really be included in GIMP, and to Damien Genet mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] for the Rollover Perl script (unhappily it is not updated for 2.x). Thanks a lot. Cedric ___ Gimp-user mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.xcf.berkeley.edu/mailman/listinfo/gimp-user
[Gimp-user] Layers in GIMP and Photoshop Layer Effects
As a Photoshop teacher and Gimp book author (french reader can have a look at http://www.le-radar.com) i'm interesting in comparison because this is a very good source of idea. But i'm a bit fed up reading gimp cannot do anything as good as PS. Most of time it is possible, but just have to a way to, because in my point of view GIMP is DIFFERENT and don't have be a PS clone. But there are few things i can say : A) I'm not sure i've understood everything but some told few days ago, that it was possible to do in GIMP (with layer modes) all what Adobe PS does in layer effects. At this time the best thing i know for gimp is the layer_effects.scm. But may be I mistake. Even compared to this script, PS's functionnalities seem to be much more comfortable : the effects are updated when the original layer is modified. B) Photoshop has a very interesting functionnality in being able to group layers (pasting in new can be done by copy/paste and layer-new). C) The add of several layers increases much more the size of a XCF file than it does with a PSD D) It is impossible (may be it is a technical reason) to work with transform tools on a masked layer. In my mind, the tool could be easily applied to both, but i'm sure i mistake. We could tell much more about this but may be all this is not the more important. I guess that : - working in other color spaces (CMYK, Lab ...), with specific channel options [including working directly on channels allowing copy/paste from one channel to another ...] not only for DTP purpose but because some things can easily be done when there is a specific access to a luminosity/black channel. - improve the more and more the (anti)alias : in some cases pixel selection or transition still produce ugly effects. In conclusion, no tool can be perfect. Loving Gimp, i have to confess that i spend much more time doing a thing in GIMP that I should with PS. But we also can find defaults in PS : there's no copy visible (you need duplicate and flatten), less filters, no real script developement because PS's Script is just a way to pack already-there-actions, no capacity to sharp a softened selection ... So those who don't believe in the Gimp could also take notice of this. cedric ___ Gimp-user mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.xcf.berkeley.edu/mailman/listinfo/gimp-user
[Gimp-user] What is really used in CMYK ?
I've just read a SVEN note (on gimp-dev) about Color Management Gimp support. Many things about DTP options (color separation, soft-proof, embed profile) which are very interesting but not many about CMYK native support (i.e. four channels). Does anybody have special use of this mode ? Personally, I often use to work on contrast because it has a separate black channel. We can work separately on Luminosity and colors (such as in Lab mode). (For example look at that : http://www.le-radar.com/mm/gimp/images/Nchannel.png) If soft-proof is intended to be supported, it would be great to work on the color selector dialog. In fact, it could display a signal when a selected color is not available in other modes (it could also be done for websafe colors), and eventually give direct access to the nearer equivalent. LittleCMS is very good, but is written with Qt. I guess it will hardly be available on Windows. Actually, all this is not very clear : diplay filter there, channels there, and separate this way, who would it be 'packaged' ? Does anyone has an opinion on all this ?
