We have however already large parts of the framework that will be needed: - moved GimpConfig functionality from core into libgimpconfig - moved GimpEnumStore and GimpEnumComboBox to libgimpwidgets - moved convenience constructors for property views to libgimpwidgets Sven ___ Gimp-user mailing list Gimp-user@lists.xcf.berkeley.edu http://lists.xcf.berkeley.edu/mailman/listinfo/gimp-user

Take a look at UFRaw by Udi Fuchs. http://ufraw.sourceforge.net/ It is based on dcraw and rawphoto plugin for GIMP and works as GIMP plugin for opening of RAW images and as conversion program (under Windows). It produces nice images with no artifacts (at least I haven't see any ;) ). And the program is being developed quickly. Antti Mäkelä wrote: The optimal solution for me would be if I could get a (good) RAW- JPEG 2000 converter. JPEG 2000 would have the EXIF strutcture intact, lossless mode, and it will (probably) also be supported everywhere. However, this cannot be done at the time because of patent and licensing issues slowing down the adoption (and the lack of RAW converters that I could trust). Maybe in 2010. -- With respect Alexander Rabtchevich ___ Gimp-user mailing list Gimp-user@lists.xcf.berkeley.edu http://lists.xcf.berkeley.edu/mailman/listinfo/gimp-user

William Skaggs weskaggs at primate.ucdavis.edu writes: First, jpeg still achieves substantial compression, and is still lossy, even at a quality setting of 100. Yes, I know (see Henrik's post) Second, the jpeg docs recommend not using quality settings above 95, because they greatly increase the file size without improving the image quality. Again, the at Q=98 the file size is about the same as the camera provides already, so no waste of space happening.. Third, there is no way to change the defaults in GIMP 2.2 except by editing the C code for the jpeg plugin, but we are working on a way to do this that should apply to all plugins, and you can expect it to be available in GIMP 2.4. Thank you! I already did the change in the source code (and it works), but good to know that there is some progress happening. There does not seem to be any schedule or roadmap on GIMP 2.4 available yet, but do you have any estimates on when 2.4 would be coming? This year? First half of 2006?
