I think the "color profile from 1966" is actually a reference to sRGB, 
which was created in 1996 and "standardized by the IEC as IEC 
61966-2-1:1999" to quote Wikipedia (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SRGB).


As far as I know, there weren't any color profiles as we know them today 
before the ICC was established, which wasn't until 1993 
(http://www.color.org/abouticc.xalter).



Then, gimp-9 or 10 was released and I am going to have to reacquaint
myself with some words or learn about them for the first time before I
am going to be able to convert rgb to grayscale via any script
available.
Any body got a link or a book recommendation or a paper to read?


"Real World Color Management" by the late Bruce Fraser et al. is quite
good.

Alex


Real Wold Color Management is a great book and everyone should read it.


I would also recommend Elle Stone's website http://ninedegreesbelow.com/
which has a wealth of information about color management and more
specifically as it relates to GIMP.


The first section on this page has links to introductory tutorials in a 
suggested "order of reading": 
http://ninedegreesbelow.com/photography/articles.html#icc-profile-color-management-tutorials


As Partha notes, there are also some articles specifically about GIMP 
color management in the section on high bit depth GIMP.


But neither my articles nor Real World Color Management will have any 
suggestions for a script for converting from RGB to Grayscale.


Best,
Elle

The most recent packaged is named gimp-2.8.18-x86_64-1.dmg

Are you sure you got that?

[Gimp-user] Non-English Text....

2017-01-22 Thread Parisi, Philip J.
Hello,

 I just downloaded and installed GIMP 2.8.18-x86_64 on my iMac. The OS is: 
10.10.5. The software opens and the main menus are in english. But my windows 
and docakable panels are in, I think, Sanskrit (see screen shots). How do I 
correct this? No backend knowledge. The plan is to use GIMP for an online 
digital photography class. If I can get this work on my computer and the 
students do not have a problem I plan on making a donation. Thanks Dr. P.

Thanks! -c



I think you now it's an older version. For the most recent version you 
can add ppa:otto-kesselgulasch/gimp-standalone.

Please note: You need ppa:otto-kesselgulasch/gimp-edge too.

Does it work? Ok! If not you always can fall back to the "latest stable" 
version, 2.9.5~71-0y0~ppa~00faf17.


Cheers

[Gimp-user] Navigation Window Zoom Preview

Oh, I didn't know about the New View... but if I'm using Single-Window mode, is
there a way to only 'undock' the new view, or is it only possible in a non
Single-Window mode? With dual monitors I could put the window on the other one
and just record that if I want. But can it be undocked? Or is that just for the
tools?
