Re: [Gimp-user] Certification plans
The originator of this question might be better off to become certified by a professional graphic design/graphic communication organization such as the GDC in Canada, ARGD in Ontario, the SDGQ in Québec, the UCDA (colleges & universities), CAPIC for Illustrators, the AGDA in Australia, the AIGA in the U.S. or ICOGRADA in Europe. Knowing the software is just the start of a great career.

Re: [Gimp-user] Double mails from the list ?
I'm also seeing a lot of double posts. The headers between the duplicates are kind of mess; e.g. of the message you just sent, the first has the ntlworld DKIM signature, the second doesn't. The Received route indicate by the first seems to imply that a virginmedia.net server is re-injecting it? The second copy has a more logical Received chain, but no DKIM header. I note also that the second copy has two gimp-user-list signatures at the end of the email body, implying accidental re-injection. Sounds to me like a routing misconfiguration at gnome.org, which I guess was already obvious. :-) -c On 06/18/2017 05:00 PM, Ken Moffat wrote: On Sun, Jun 18, 2017 at 04:26:14PM -0700, Ken Moffat wrote: Or rather, I wrote it at 00:26:14 +0100 on Monday.

[Gimp-user] New plugin for merging three raw exposures.
After getting my Scheme plugin to work (add overexposed and underexposed versions of a raw image, to recover some shadow and highlight detail) and working out the detail of how I then recover from the reduced-contrast result (well duh!, G'MIC for Local contrast enhancement), and then fine-tuning my own process, I've concluded that it is "good enough". It is called "Three Exposures" and sits in Filters -> Enhance. Since the official plugin registry is no longer operational, I've put a page at http://www.zarniwhoop.uk/three-exposures.html with small examples of the result - each links to a series of less-small examples to show what I did (if only as a "don't do that, then" example for the good photographers out there). The download link is at hte bottom of hte page. It works with ufraw and gimp-2.8: if people on windows or mac can convert their raw images to xcf (or uncompressed png) files then it should work for them too - but it's only tested on linux. And as I note on the page, it does not work with 2.9. ĸen -- I live in a city. I know sparrows from starlings.

As an old QA guy I tend to think of certification in a whole other context, relevant to the fitness for use of deliverables. I don't think too highly of certificates of completion from vendor specific programs for software users. A primary objective of the coursework in those programs is to prepare the student as an outside sales rep for the vendor, assuring that as much money as possible will be spent with the vendor by certified whatzit's employer, and vendor lock-in firmly established at the enterprise. :o) ___ 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

[Gimp-user] My Crop and Selection stuff isn't working
Okay, so my system specs are: OS: Linux Mint 17 Version: Gimp 2.8.16 GPU: EVGA GTX 770 4GB Classified CPU(s): (2x) Xeon 2.6 Ghz 8core Hyper Threaded (32 threads total) RAM: (1x) Adata 1600Mhz 8GB Stick So not sure if that matters. The issue is, that I can't crop, or use the selection tools... The layers are not locked. Pixels are not locked. Layer is locked. It does not work, with or without everything selected. The cursor doesn't say it's not working, it's just not. I do have custom preferences, and I tried uninstalling it, and reinstalling it, and it didn't fix the problem and it kept my preferences. I tried resetting the preferences. Problem remained. I think I started to get the problem when I tried to get my tablet to work with gimp, and I played around with dynamics, but I don't recall.

[Gimp-user] finding and replacing all variants of one colour

The hint about desaturating is one of those things that are obvious once someone points them out to you. There's a great site called Encycolorpedia that has the colour values for a wide range of commercial paints. Working from that I can try particular tints. -- pbw (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
[Gimp-user] Certification plans
Hello, I'm working on a project, where existing raster graphic software is being replaced by GIMP. There was a question about available certification. Are there any official plans? I found an old thread, where it does not sound too positive about this idea, but maybe things changed. (this one http://gimp.1065349.n5.nabble.com/Gimp-certification-td17240.html but it got a discussion about GIMP name) Thanks and regard, Adriana -- View this message in context: http://gimp.1065349.n5.nabble.com/Certification-plans-tp51227.html Sent from the Users mailing list archive at Nabble.com. ___ 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
