[Gimp-user] GIMP dual monitor + tablet offset issue
This issue is probably best described with a video. Here is a link that should make the issue pretty clear. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ktQwVLGzfXQ [2:50] To explain what's happening in the video: I have a Cintiq 13HD tablet which plugs into my laptop through HDMI. GIMP will trace the cursor fine using the tablet pen with just the tablet on. When a second screen is added, there is an offset. This exists only with the pen, not the mouse. The Wacom pen and eraser are set as "Screen" in the Input devices. Changing to "Window" also offsets, but at a different distance. Changing to "Disabled", the brush will trace the cursor fine, but this defeats the purpose of using a tablet pen for pressure sensitivity, tilt, et al. Also relevant but not essential: I have tried changing the PPI and it had no effect. Restarting/reinstalling GIMP and my Wacom driver has not worked. The cursor follows the pen, but the brush does not. Brushes will follow the pen perfectly fine in other programs such as Adobe Ps. GIMP seems to store separate tool options (brush settings) for when I am using a pen and using a mouse and takes a fair amount of time switching between them.

Re: [Gimp-user] 2.9.4 Release-Icons
This looks better. I'm on WIN7 so I'm hopeful. Thanks Rich.

[Gimp-user] Printing a poster file issues

Would a professional printer >have some sort of software that will allow them to print a PDF that I >can't print? Lets have a few file sizes for comparison. A Gimp xcf, not quite as large as yours 14172x23622 px (1.2m x 2.0 @ 300ppi) with a large graphic (a photograph) and some text in layers. Gimp shows this as 3.8 GB in memory. xcf file size 400 MB exports a pdf 286 MB Exported as a jpg, file size 21 MB and that exported as a pdf 300 MB Exported as a png, file size 130 MB, exports as a pdf 325 MB Conclusion, not much point exporting to jpeg/png for the purpose of creating a PDF. The xcf PDF did contain text in a vector format, otherwise with png/jpeg and everything flattened to a bitmap. Print resolution: Are you sure the printing company really requires 300 dpi or is that just general figure? A poster can have a reduced dpi depending on distance viewed. Some guidance see: http://www.northlight-images.co.uk/what-print-resolution-works-for-what-viewing-distance/ Printing process: Do you know how it will be printed? A modern commercial laser printer will print at 100 ppc (pixels per cm) and produce superb quality, but costs a fortune. Send them a jpeg. If offset printing then a CMYK pdf is often used. The tool for that is not inkscape it is the DP application Scribus. Want to print full size on A3 sheets to joint together as a check. Split the image up into separate parts. Set up some guides as A3 sized sections ( 3508x4960 px) Use Image -> Transform -> Guillotine Plenty how-to's on this if you search. rich: www.gimp-forum.net -- rich2005 (via www.gimpusers.com/forums) ___ gimp-user-list mailing list List address:gimp-user-list@gnome.org List membership: https://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gimp-user-list List archives: https://mail.gnome.org/archives/gimp-user-list

Re: [Gimp-user] color management -- basic question

I think I read on your site that a LUT version would also be handy also for using occasional perceptual rendering intent to get a feel for all the detail in an image? Yes, but depending on your monitor, normally it's better to not use the LUT profile for actual editing. And if you do use the LUT profile when editing, use relative colorimetric intent to convert to the monitor profile. Use perceptual intent for exploration, but not for editing, unless you know exactly what you are doing and why. Truthfully I've only used my LUT monitor profile a couple of times to explore what might be hiding in the portions of an image that are clipped by a relative colorimetric conversion - in one image I was very surprised to see a whole lot of unexpected detail in areas that looked like there wasn't any detail at all. So currently trying to soft proof to the built-in GIMP sRGB profile is a waste of time as LCMS soft proofing will report that all the colors are in gamut. Hmmm... so if I have a wide-gamut image and set soft-proofing profile to sRGB-elle-V4-srgbtrc.icc, soft proofing works -- that's because your version of gimp's sRGB is amended in the necessary ways to make it so? Soft proofing to sRGB-elle-V4-srgbtrc.icc (which is the exact same profile as the GIMP built-in sRGB profile) also doesn't work. The problem is in LCMS, not in the profiles. All software that uses LCMS and supports high bit depth and floating point editing is affected, and all the more so if the source color space has a linear gamma TRC.
