Re: [Gimp-user] Convert PS USM settings to Gimp

2012-04-26 Thread Sven Tryding
Thanks for the links Dan they are great sources. But none of them really 
tells me about the relation between PS and GIMP USM settings. Myself, I 
usally set radius 10 , amount 0.5 and threshold to 4 and play with the 
values around those defaults a bit until I am happy, but it would be 
interesting to see if someone actually knew the relation between PS and GIMP 
USM.
I will search for USM PS and GIMP using Lycos and Altavista to find a few 
more links.

Hmm, this seems like something for the devs … If you feel like
contributing a bug report, http://www.gimp.org/bugs/ has some info;
there's also the gimp developer list at

If it were me, I would run a program that turns on/off the mousepad with
a global hotkey (so I could press e.g. F12 or something to toggle it).
Depends on your system how easy it is to find such a program though …

ufraw-gimp.exe is a third-party plug-in to load RAW files. If it has registeres 
itself as a file loader for JPEG files (quite possible) and fails*, then this 
may cause the problem you've mentioned.

You should remove this plug-in from the plug-ins directory and try again.


*The fact the this plug-in ships with its own copy of bzip2.dll has cause 
problems in the past. Re-installing the current, but pretty old version of it 
may fix the problem - or cause additional problem in GIMP.

Michael

Win32 installer worked perfectly for me, the only problems I've had so

Re: [Gimp-user] How can I create huge billboard sized files in super high dpi?

I think he meant 144 dpi, which is a common resolution used for colour
images in print.

If the thread count of the fabric is 200 or higher (e.g. a high-end
sheet or a silk shirt) it'd plausibly take twice the thread count or
more, but I'd say try a sample at 144dpi.

Has anyone gotten the windoze installer version of 2.8.0-rc1 to work 
properly?  I've been running 2.7.5 for a while but when I tried 
installing the 2.8 rc1 I'm having problems.  The gimp comes up ok, but 
when I attempt to load a .jpg file it hangs; as I recall it's spinning

Re: [Gimp-user] How can I create huge billboard sized files in super high dpi?

2012-04-26 Thread Daniel Smith
Also, Tara if you Google: "printing dpi vs pixels"
it comes up with some very good results having to
do with what you're trying to accomplish, especially
this one:
http://www.rideau-info.com/photos/mythdpi.html
which specifically addresses at some point a 1400 dpi printer.
And this one makes it "pretty" clear:
http://www.pptxtreme.com/help/psdimport/ResolutionExplainedPixelsDPIInches.html
I had read these so long ago I forgot, and
I am going with "the printer is 1400 dpi, not your image file" theory.
What I would do is set up a small test run of some sort with the printer,
where you try one or a few of your best fabric pieces, with intricate color
and design complexities, and see if there's any difference for each at
say like 144, 200, 300 px/inch Then adjust to taste. You will probably
want to be able to go as low as possible on px/inch if you do stay bitmap
and you do need one continuous file, cause even then that's gonna be a giant.
Unless you can go with vectors.Very interesting though.
