Re: [Gimp-user] TIF Layers
It is also be for a different mailing list/forum, but there are good, free, and Gimpp-friendly alternatives to Canon DPP, such as RawTherapee or Darktable :-) Thank you! Yes, I'm aware of and love (and use, and prefer) both of those programs... but DPP has the "digital lens optimizer" which seems to do some specific magic thing (presumably with proprietary/protected manufacturer knowledge of their lenses) that I can't seem to duplicate in other software (including lightroom, capture one, etc.). It's not always good to use it, but often it is. But I get closer every day to abandoning it. Anyway, like you say, different mailing list.

(One can of course automate this extraction with the command line as well.) Or a prefs setting to default to opening the largest page, or similar.

Re: [Gimp-user] Layer groups seriously broken - huge resource hog
On 06/16/18 12:38, BWK wrote: I love Gimp. I started using it about a year ago and it is the second most used piece of software on my computers. I often use it on two of my computers at the same time. I do stuff with it mostly with aerial photo mosaics up to 500 megapixels - aerial photo tiles joined together with other aerial photos overlaid over the top of them. With the new unified transform tool in Gimp 2.10 an aerial photo overlay can be completed in one step of transformation thus maximising the quality and speeding up the work. The software is brilliant for this. Nevertheless there seems to be significant shortcomings in the implementation of layer groups in Gimp. I started using them because I had a lot of layers in my projects and I wanted to keep everything tidy. But as my projects have grown, I have found that layer groups are a huge waste of resources. With the biggest project, the file size of the project doubled from 4 GB to 8 GB when layer groups were used, with exactly the same layers. Part of creating these aerial photos is to split them into tiles to be loaded into a GIS for mapping. This requires resizing the canvas to crop the boundaries to a tile boundary and then exporting the tile out as a JPG. Most of these tiles are only 4800x7200 pixels that should not really be a problem for the computer. But with layer groups it takes about 15 minutes to do the canvas resize with the disk constantly churning. Without layer groups it only takes about 15 seconds. The export itself is much faster with far less disk churning as well. I only discovered this by accident when in one of my projects Gimp constantly crashed when saving the project as soon as I added more than three layers to a layer group. Obviously Gimp is broken in that area (and doesn't throw any kind of error message or exception either, it just quits) but the result of having to take out the layer groups I was putting in and working without them has had the unexpected benefit of a huge time saving after allowing for a lost day trying to work out what the crashing was about. If this feature is going to be any good in Gimp in the future the implementation of it needs serious attention. Layers groups are not meant to keep things tidy. They are meant to force the compositing order, like parentheses in a mathematical equation. Groups have their own opacity, blending mode (and layer mask in 2.10). Layers in a group are composed, resulting in a virtual layer, which is composed with the layers (or virtual layers from groups) in the parent level... It is possible that layers groups add just enough memory to overflow the tile cache and force Gimp to work with a swap (this really slows tings down). See Edit>Preferences>System resources>Tile cache size and set it to as much as possible (your available RAM minus what you need for your system and other apps). Something that can help keep things tidy in 2.10 is t use color tags on the layers. ___ 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

How do you take to distinct images and make them one? Like, >blended or meshed.I'm assuming a lot of layering is involved? 1) Usually the whole idea of using the path tool for foreground extraction (or replacing background), is to get sharp edges that other extraction tools struggle with. It is not easy to make a good path, very time consuming even when used to the tool. Every curve and rounded corner has to be set by hand. example screenshot 1. However, once a selection is made from the path, there is usually enough anti-aliasing not to required blurring the edges. I will attach that xcf (gz compressed-opens straight up in Gimp) file with the path for you to play with. To cut out the foreground use: Select -> From Path then Edit -> Copy -> then Edit -> Paste As -> New Image. 2) Always use plenty of layers and save in Gimp .xcf format as you go. Not too sure what you mean by meshed but blending in one layer with a layer underneath often uses a layer mask. see: https://docs.gimp.org/en/gimp-layer-mask-add.html and https://www.gimp.org/tutorials/Layer_Masks/ Not a wonderful example but used one, screenshot 2, to blend in the bottom of the superimposed figure.
