[Gimp-user] Can gimp store layer meta-data?

If you install my BGII plugin it will allow you to choose brush sizes from a drop down. So, you just add 1, 5, 10 and 20 and they are the only sizes which will be shown in the drop down. You can set a key to cycle through your size presets as well, so you don't even need to use that. BGII does other stuff as well.

To me it is entirely unclear, what in your workflow differenciates a good warning dialog from a bad warning dialog. It may be that it's not about warning dialogs. At the moment I'm trying to just describe the issue I have faced. Without a hint from you we're 100% in the Do-What-I-Mean-Button ballpark which is not really helping with the more thought we might need. I gathered from your mail, that you lost work because the save/export distinction conditioned you into clicking the warning away. So, if you don't want us to remove the warning, what are our options? I will assume then that you haven't seen my earlier posts. Here is some more detail. Ordinarily (since May when I started using GIMP regularly-ish), I work in xcf and have no desire to export except maybe once at the end. So, the default set up suits me most of the time. There are two occasions where I used export rather than save. The first was doing some levels and cropping on photos I had taken (scores, but I've not processed them all yet). That went swimmingly, but the close dialogs were annoying. The second was editing out a background on 70 odd (poorly-) chroma keyed photos (to be composited with a background by someone else). I got through a small number before realising that I was exporting to jpg, losing the transparent areas I'd added. I lost some work because of the format I was using and the save/export distinction didn't avoid that. Partly this was because I was habituated to ignore the save as xcf warning. This is probably because the warning appears no matter what the risk is (or, in the case of my cropping etc, when there was no risk). The save warnings are false positives because they are triggered by an irrelevant condition (ie close with export but no save). The true trigger for a warning was that I was trying to export an image to an inconsistent format (ie image has transparency but format doesn't support it). I am confident that I would have taken more notice of a warning (because it would be out of the ordinary) if it: (a) didn't pop up the false positives; but (b) did pop up an inconsistent format warning. Apparently this functionality or something like it was in 2.6? ___ gimp-user-list mailing list List address:gimp-user-list@gnome.org List membership: https://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gimp-user-list

So maybe the expected behaviour also depends on the OS you use. But even under Windows, nobody would expect that a dedicted export routine would clean the dirty flag. 1. I'm not hung up on the dirty flag, just trying to brainstorm. 2. What I was proposing was a picture tweaking/editing mode in which that occurred. Not as a default behaviour of export. If I was in my normal usage mode the current implementation suits me fine (default to xcf and no dirty flag reset on export). ___ gimp-user-list mailing list List address:gimp-user-list@gnome.org List membership: https://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gimp-user-list

We would be better off by using luminance in most or all the cases where this approach is currently used. Hi, we had a similar discussion about the inconsistent use of the word 'value' in IRC ca. 4 months ago. Currently this word appears at various places in GIMP: - in the Levels Tool as a channel, - in the Curves Tool as a channel, - in the Colors Menu as item 'Invert value' - in the dockable Histogram dialog as a channel (but there's also a channel 'RGB'), - in the dockable Pointer dialog as component of the HSV color model, - in the dockable Sample Points dialog as component of the HSV color model, - in the Color Picker tools info window as component of the HSV color model, - in the Change Color dialog as component of the HSV color model (V slider), - as result layer in Color/Decompose/HSV, HSL, - as parameter in Filters/Distorts/Value propagate, - as parameter in Filters/Decor/Add border, - in various places all of the program in its original meaning (set/increase/decrease/minimize/etc. value) and - in various places of the help. ... and not all seem to have the same meaning as we found out that time. There also seems to be no consensus about the meaning of this word in the graphics industry, even when used as abbreviation for 'tonal value': some mean the brightness of a given pixel, others the perceptual brightness of each color (yellow-light, blue-dark). I'm for using the words value, tonal value, brightness, lightness etc. consistently to avoid further confusion. What are the 'officially defined' or 'most commonly used' names and meanings in these contexts for you, the users? For me, value means how white or black the pixel is. This assumes an implicit map to gray scale. I think that this meaning remains the same even if you choose different ways to map to gray. So, users should be made aware of, and be able to select a mapping/a default mapping. ___ gimp-user-list mailing list List address:gimp-user-list@gnome.org List membership: https://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gimp-user-list

I think the opacity (display) widget should be a small (eg 10x2 or 20x4 pixel) progress bar for each layer.

The purpose is primarily to have a better workflow, but also to have more meaningful treatment of background color for pictures which have multiple layers (and an alpha channel). I have reposted the sample picture here: http://brendanlearnstosee.wordpress.com/2013/07/26/ecorche-dorsal/ The xcf has been renamed with a .jpg extension otherwise it wouldn't upload. By way of example in relation to the paint-with-background-color trick: *also a friend of mine commented that using white to erase was a good trick, but in Wesnoth it's actually really bad considering all portraits are on a transparent layer... (From Wesnoth art forums: http://forums.wesnoth.org/viewtopic.php?f=23t=38935 There are other examples floating around the web.) Wesnoth portrait art would be an example where this enhancement could be used. ___ gimp-user-list mailing list List address:gimp-user-list@gnome.org List membership: https://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gimp-user-list
