Not at all,and I have great respect for Elle Stone. How do I know who-is-who If you ever come come to gimpusers-dot-com you will see that forum members names are in blue, mailing list in grey. Personally I hate mailing lists, stopped using the occasional academic list 20 years ago. The inability of subscribers to edit their posts continually amazes. Top posting 'thanks' followed by a page of nested quoted is not unusual. When it comes to etiquette, probably got a better sense than many. At one time a four line signature was considered bad form. Now to go and play at selecting pictures in the new CAPTCHA format that is a real PITA. -- rich404 (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

The example using a sample NEF file is in my linux Gimp 2.9.7 using the nUFRaw plugin which I had to compile myself because of changes to the Gimp 2.9 package. For Windows, AFAIK the Partha version of Gimp 2.9.6 comes with nUFRaw pre-installed. see www.partha.com Otherwise the two applications that Gimp recognises by default and will use, are Rawtherapee and Darktable. Both are monsters that will take over your computer, but the place to ask question on this is not here, but https://discuss.pixls.us/ rich: www.gimp-forum.net Attachments: * http://www.gimpusers.com/system/attachments/732/original/nufraw.jpg -- rich404 (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

On 10/29/2017 06:06 PM, Jeffry Killen wrote: Will Gimp open ps files: yes (which versions and what aspects are retained?) I don't know which versions of PSD files GIMP can open. I do have some old CS2 PSD files that I recently spent some time opening with GIMP, after having not looked at them for many years. I use GIMP 2.9, which is the development version of GIMP. Recently there have been quite a few new commits to the GIMP code that affect reading PhotoShop files. So the following observations are based on GIMP 2.9 and PhotoShop CS2. Hopefully someone else will chime in if I made mistakes in my observations or left out something important: You will not be able to open a PSD file and continue editing "just as if" you were still using PhotoShop. GIMP doesn't yet have adjustment layers (Curves, Levels, etc). Even if GIMP already did have adjustment layers, that doesn't mean GIMP would be able to interpret PhotoShop adjustment layers. The only actual layers that GIMP can show when you open a PSD file are image layers, not adjustment layers. So if your PSD file has one image layer at the bottom, and a whole bunch of adjustment layers, then the only thing GIMP will retain when you open the PSD file is the image layer at the bottom. So if your computer on which PhotoShop is installed is on the verge of not working any more, it might be a good idea to open your most important PSD files and use the equivalent of GIMP's "make new from visible" to have a record of the result of intermediate editing steps that involved adjustment layers. Also, if you want to use DAM software such as digiKam and you want to see a thumbnail for your PSD files, save your PSD files using compatibility mode. Back when I used PhotoShop, at some point I stopped using compatibility mode and now I have a lot of PSD files for which digiKam and Gwenview can't show thumbnails. Again, this is for CS2 - I don't have a clue whether CS4 even has compatibility mode. GIMP doesn't have the ability to play PSD macros (I hope I'm remembering the right word). So if your workflow depends heavily on macros, well, you can learn to script in GIMP, but there will be a steep learning curve. GIMP doesn't yet support opening, editing, and saving images in the LAB or CMYK color spaces. So if you have any important LAB or CMYK PSD files, it might be a good idea while your computer is still running to save a copy of these files after converting them to RGB. Many of the layer blend modes are the same in GIMP and PhotoShop, and many are not. CS2 is pre "smart layer" - is that the right word? so if you used that functionality, maybe someone else knows if/how GIMP interprets these types of layers. But again, for your important PSD files it would be a good idea to use the PS equivalent of "make new from visible" to have a record in the PSD file of what the smart layer was supposed to do. If you find that you simply don't want to edit images without using adjustment layers, Krita might work for you better than GIMP. Even though Krita is primarily aimed at painting rather than photography, people do use Krita for editing photographs. I'm not sure how good Krita's support for PSD is. I tried opening a couple of files with Krita and the only layer that "survived" was the bottom layer, but I think this might be because of some system issues I'm having with KDE image file format support. GIMP is not "free PhotoShop" and your best bet is to approach GIMP for what it is, on its own terms. Personally I much prefer GIMP 2.9 over PhotoShop CS2. I never used GIMP 2.8 except to prepare files for uploading to the web, because 2.8 doesn't support high bit depth editing.

Good morning, The platform I'm working on is Windows 10, when I export TIFF files from NX2, I simply put them in a folder on the hard drive under Pictures. I then use Windows file manager to organise them. I've tried right clicking and using the "open with" option, but GIMP is not an available option. I have some files saved in the folder in .xcf format, if I right click on these, GIMP appears in the "open with" options. -- Oxonian (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] GIMP started crashing on "create new image" with Runtime error
Today all of a sudden GIMP started crashing while creating and saving a file with error: "Runtime Error! Program: c:\...gimp-2.8.exe this application has requested the runtime to terminate it in an unusual way ... etc..." This never happened before! Yet I can open up a recent file - but I cannot save a file! I re-installed GIMP with a fresh download from original site - but it didn't make a difference. How can I fix this? I'm running a win10 x64. I've been using GIMP for over a year and it's always worked fine. -- Nic (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

I've just tried converting a file from jpg to tiff with ViewNX V2.10.3. When opening in GIMP I get an error message about a null byte in the date field but it then opens the file as two layers with the top (active) layer being the thumbnail exactly as you said. Looks like this is a bug in ViewNX2. Exporting a file in GIMP with the thumbnail selected doesn't cause this problem. At least you have a workaround. >Good morning all, The image I was working on was created by Nikon's >ViewNX2 editor, the original image format was Nikon's raw image .NEF >extension, I exported this as a TIFF and then imported it to GIMP. > >In ViewNX2 the images are stored with a preview thumbnail, so I think >you have hit the nail on the head, I got myself confused at first >because I didn't notice the thumbnail in the image before I used the >channel mixer.
