Hello, Besides the plug-in the GIMP tool you are looking for is Curves in the menu Colors. It´s the same as Curves (Gradation Curves) in Photoshop and it is the most powerful tool to lighten shadows and regain highlights in GIMP.

Hello, for both topics of gimp-user-list Digest, Vol 62, Issue 17: use the open source program Krita. It is an image manipulation program, natively built for Linux, installers are also available for Windows and Mac OS X, that can handle both ways, rgb to cmyk and cmyk to rgb. If it can handle psds I don´t know. Notice: rgb to cmyk will often end up in dull colors, because the color space cmyk is somewhat else than the colorspace of rgb - not all colors of rgb are resembled in cmyk.

Re: [Gimp-user] Approach to do cmyk conversion (was: gimp-user-list Digest, Vol 60, Issue 29)
Hello, another suggestion to convert any rgb image to cmyk by open source: use Krita. Until GIMP is fully capable of doing this, Krita can do right now: https://krita.org Anyway, you will encounter color deviations, espacially in the range of blue and turquise color tones after converting. This is, because rgb and cmyk are not totally equal - both differ in color tones and color range. I can report that after conversion from rgb to cmyk, colors, especially blue and reddish ones, are shiftet in luminosity and look somewhat dull. And bright cobalt blue tones are shifted towards somewhat turquoise, prussian blue tones. AFAIK In regular cmyk printing, this is not to be avoided. One reason the Pantone color tables have been invented for is gaining back those "special" colors. But this efforts special printing machines, which can print a fifth or even sixth color. You may try to correct colors as far as possible after conversion with Krita, but don´t expect the impossible.

Hello, I´ve missed one point: when printing, another setting in the dialog Color Settings mentioned below may be of interest: in my German speaking GIMP it´s "Farbanpassung der Drucksimulation", which is about Color Adaption for Printing Simulation: here you can choose Saturation-Perception-Absolute Colormetric-Relative Colormetric. The default Perception ist what I would suggest at first, but you may try something else. If you do so, it may be important to mark ~Printing Simulation in ~Working Mode (I´m not shure about the expressions, first dropdown menu in the window Color Management). Another point mentioned earlier is: if the monitor had not been calibrated correctly, the color deviations may habe been written to the image. Using menu Colors>Hue/Saturation: Hue might help, when preselectig the color range you want to correct.

Hello Dale, how was your approach? Did you make screenshots of the HTML-Websites? My suggestion: make the screenshots - crop it with the Crop Tool - save as png or jpeg. Open the image where you want to insert these images. Either you may use Menu File>Open As Layers or you may insert the screenshots by drag & drop for instance from Windows Explorer directly tot he Image Window - I think, the same is for other os. Position the images, transform the screenshots (either Scale Tool or Perspective Tool, maybe both). Save the image as xcf. Afterwards, yo can export to any format you want. Hope, that helps.

The Help file within Gimp suggests that if I select the Text tool and click on an area of the canvas, I should see text as soon as I start typing. The text comes up in the Layers - Brushes sidebar and I can see a cursor moving in the text box on the canvas, but I see no text on the canvas at all. That's quite bizarre - there is no connection between the Brushes dialog and the text tool - if you see a moving cursor on the image canvas, nothing should happen anywhere else while you type. My first impulse would be to check whether I had the current stable version of the GIMP from an official source - and even if so, I would reinstall it anyway just to make certain. If you don't see the text appearing in in the image as you type, that might be because it's too small to see: The larger the image you are adding text to, the harder the letters will be to see, unless you have selected a font size that are large enough to show up. Next time around try typing something, do Control+a to select what you typed, and increase the size via the on-canvas control box to see what happens. Worth a try anyway. :o) Steve -BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE- Version: GnuPG v1.4.14 (GNU/Linux) iQIcBAEBAgAGBQJUNHkLAAoJEDZ0Gg87KR0LAiIP/01EuB/7o5Qe2GpVf9zHWDLL kCv+EowFMtU5bHEaqUm96ODz3bazozP3BD2Wkgvtc1BhZpkmcT4Mg9auQGv/sALv LDsBQMPAxFKaaEq5WkMQYn4y96g0xj+Zu1DljYIS1PefsJ9WT4D9Ms/RbuBoN3qp u53Wt4uOMZFoMIUFlJpgqPAljnyyFG8y+V0XBSvDbRw8lFJ5ZoGS24uS9zHgYTVu 6KqaFHC2uLTlAGzpIr8VuSxLbGiZFiO3SYbKXxparGUopd1NVKN58ePNAQY0/Bs/ F5qI2VYiDW/nV3/0icZXOxnvnggXbfIxPyHXHL44x2v7RqprojZiDvCCiJbae+gM u8df2v9d/Vimr3poSB5z3VnoLXS5yRhwn8qRn9ukauK5es52gLUFQRbk9Aw9G8wt vyN8dljN9GrAbUcsIDsNdyGa0/BQ8cT16nloSON9Q7Ew6o3FEM1eZYulqL0V4Q6y vS1d/MvJOExnMaojL+hovPQOWJbacJX0Sa6cRIZxPmKXR9lXGj6kgMuXd3QZLeEU 2OMatLX/tvZOuVNzNGaLTkeQav71r9uRIxbLQqNNvgljEz+t97o4kQESYgMhgj34 b/Fq1J/kOMjMV4ITyt+JOPx7RuQnzDmgsSRFTVBEsr2JSOBZ8sXuitxb/yfefZQB zF6Jyxw9bLyaL9tX95k9 =fByi -END PGP
