Re: [Gimp-user] EXIF support in latest Gimp

2013-07-25 Thread Maxim Cournoyer
Hello Owen, and thank you for your answer.

 $ exiftool _DSF2455.JPG |grep color
 Color Space : Uncalibrated
 
 $ exiftool DSCF2456.JPG |grep sRGB
 Color Space : sRGB
 Interoperability Index  : R98 - DCF basic file (sRGB)
 
 
 
 So my guess  is that your image does not contain that profile?

It doesn't. It is my understanding that most camera manufacturers don't
include a profile. They merely tag the colorspace, which makes sense if
the profile is readily available.

OK,

Have a look at;

http://docs.gimp.org/2.8/en/gimp-pimping.html#gimp-prefs-color-management

Do you have color management activated in the preferences? Do you have
a monitor profile?

$ exiftool _DSF2455.JPG |grep Intero
Interoperability Index  : R03 - DCF option file (Adobe RGB)
Interoperability Version: 0100

There should be many .icc files in /use/share/color/icc

I occasionally get an image sent to me with an embedded profile, gimp
asks me if sRGB will do to replace it.

Anyway, that's about the end of my knowledge.

Re: [Gimp-user] Enhancement request: Transparency as a paintable color

 Subject: [Gimp-user] Enhancement request: Transparency as a paintable color
 
 Hi All,
 

 I have lodged a request for GIMP to support use of transparency as a 
color.  By this I mean
 mainly that when using a paint tool, painting 
with that tool paints only the chosen level of
 transparency.  The 
enhancement request is here:

Add a layer mask.  A layer mask is effectively a second alpha channel but you 
can paint directly on it using any tool and any (greyscale) color.
