If not, I would be tempted to ask at G'MIC because they seem to be active and some of their output clearly works in the gimp.

[Gimp-user] troubles with 32bit float...
I'm having lots of issues with the 32bit tiffs that come out of G'MIC CLI processing in Linux (Kubuntu 16.10 in my case). They don't open properly in GIMP, or most any other software. There is clearly something going wrong somewhere, but I'm not sure where to file a report as I'm not sure where the root cause may be (GIMP, underlying tiff libraries, or G'MIC, etc.) If anyone has any insight, I'd appreciate it. When I apply a -median_files filter with G'MIC, it generates a 32bit float file that opens as all-white in GIMP. But I can change the precision (in GIMP) from 32bit-float to any integer format, and the image suddenly appears and I can work with it just fine. Here is a demonstration image: http://caseyconnor.org/pub/image/32bitfloat.zip (145MB) Can anyone reproduce that? I've asked here before without luck, but I've seen on other forums that I'm not the only one with this issue. (This happens in any recent version of GIMP on Linux or Windows for me, but most recently tested in otto-kesselgulasch repo commit 2944dbd.) I tried to generate a smaller simple example starting with a 100x100 pixel image, 16bit integer precision (same thing happens with 8bit): I make a simple gradient, save it to png or tif, process through G'MIC, and open the result in GIMP. Result: image is all white, and in this case changing precision does *not* make the real image appear -- I can't see the image no matter what I do. Here is a zip file with the original and the gmic processed version that won't open in GIMP: http://caseyconnor.org/pub/image/smallexample.zip The KDE image viewer (gwenview) shows the image differently every time it opens it: sometimes a corrupted version, sometimes a line across a black background, and the line changes color every time the image is opened. (I mention this only in case it points at some system library issue.) If I open the 32bit float G'MIC images in Hugin, they open fine, but the resulting 32bit float output from Hugin can not be opened in or processed by GIMP in linux or windows. AN important note: I can open all of these images (post-G'MIC, big image or small 100x100 image) in Luminance HDR: it seems to have no trouble with them. Any thoughts? Are there GIMP bugs here to be addressed? Can anyone reproduce this? I've had some success using G'MIC in 16bit integer mode (by appending ",ushort" to the file name); my main goal here is to sort these bugs out.

Re: [Gimp-user] Menu Cursor Not Transparent
Have you tried a different theme? (search for "gimp themes") Running 2.8.14 under windows 10 and have no problems. The active menu item goes to a darker grey and from white to bluish text. If an submenu item isn't available, text is dark grey and there is no hover option. On 4/26/2017 12:42 PM, Ken45140 wrote: > New user to GIMP, experienced PS user. Installed GIMP2.8.20.

Your question souunds as if you will be using some sort of screen-copy program to post it. Just attach it so that a (full-size) image is posted to that site ? (No idea if that works, I don't have any reason to use it but I do see it can be useful for a band) You can also copy the A4 image (i.e. the xcf file) to a new name and then run Image -> Scale Image to alter the number of pixels and the pixels-per-inch (or whatever metric your locale uses). ĸen -- Error: ( : 1) not enough arguments ___ 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

Scribus is a good option. This is a very long standing problem, vs. not a problem except that the feature in question leads users to believe that the GIMP can do something it actually can't do.

[Gimp-user] Unified transform Tool When Zoomed In
Firstly I would like to say that the Unified Transform tool is a brilliant idea - much easier to use than a combination of the separate tools and only one round of interpolation at the end. There is, however, a problem if you are using the tool on a reasonable sized image and want to zoom in to fine tune the transformation - the control points disappear and the only available operations are moving the whole image or moving the centre of rotation (unless I am missing some way of selecting the other operations). With the individual tools (rotate, perspective, shear etc.) it is still possible to make the transformation even when zoomed in. One possible solution would be use "View/New View". the additional view that results can be zoomed independently to the main/original view and can be used as a magnifier for part of the image. However, for this to be a solution the additional view would need (possibly as an option) the ability to reflect the state of the main view in real time - currently it is only updated on the completion of an operation - for example a line drawn with the pencil only appears in the additional view when the mouse button is released, whereas the part drawn line appears immediately on the main view. Similarly the effects of the Unified Transform tool only appear when the operation is completed. Adding this real time updating of the New View would also provide something that would satisfy Enhancement Proposal: Add a temporary magnifier http://www.gimpusers.com/forums/gimp-developer/5849-enhancement-proposal-add-a-temporary-magnifier#message26965 A second solution would be to always display the control points of the Unified Transform tool no matter how far in the image was zoomed but this solution (if possible) would have a less broad application than adding the live view (option) to the New View. -- programmer_ceds (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
