[Gimp-user] Wacom Intuos PTS
Hello Gimp Users, I'm trying to use a Wacom CTH-480 tablet on mac OS 10.15.7. I updated the driver to the last version 6.3.43-3 and restarted the computer but the tablet doesn't show up in the preferences. I'm using Gimp 2.10.22. The tablet works in macOS, I can draw but I can't use pressure in Gimp. Does anyone know why I can't see my tablet in Gimp ? Thank you. Olivier BATARD -- Envoi sécurisé avec Tutanota.

Re: [Gimp-user] grainy scanned images

I see that my problem is not due to GIMP, and that GIMP uses a better interpolation algorithm than MATE. I use MATE because I dislike Unity and GNOME 3, and XFCE crashes too often for me. Maybe I should try still another window manager. The GNOME image viewer (3.24.0) has a better, although surprising, behavior. The granularity of the image changes when the mouse pointer enters or leaves the window, then returns to something I like. Anyway, since these photos are intended to be displayed on a web site, it's more important to check whether the appearance in Firefox or Chrome is acceptable. Fortunately, it is. However, how could GIMP be used for correcting the strong defects of the initial image?

[Gimp-user] grainy scanned images
I'm using GIMP 2.9 on Ubuntu Studio with MATE window manager. I'm scanning black-and-white photos taken slightly less than 50 years ago. This is working generally well, although of course I have to rotate, crop, and sharpen the images, and use the Levels tool a lot. However, for two photos a weird thing happens: the photo looks rather good when displayed in the GIMP window, but it looks terribly grainy when displayed by "Eye of MATE Image Viewer". I placed the photo at the address http://olecarme.homelinux.net/page0022.jpg Clearly it's grainy, but not so much as in the image viewer, and in the GIMP window it looks acceptable at a scale of 33.33%, and even at a scale of 50%. Two questions: - May anybody provide an explanation of this phenomenon? - Is there a way to display the image correctly outside of GIMP? Thanks for any idea!

Re: [Gimp-user] Error.
2012/11/4 Steve Kinney ad...@pilobilus.net Ubuntu 10 has worked great for me but alas, Canonical has gone the way of the dedicated touchscreen interface. I will be bailing out when the version I am using reaches end of life next year. Can't sit a very computer illiterate user in front of the Unity desktop, and expect them to figure it out and use it without problems. Can't expect me to toss 20 years of reasonably efficient workflow habits out the window either... You don't need to do that. Using Ubuntu 12.04 with the look and feel of Ubuntu 10.04 is rather easy. Of course, it needs a little work, but nothing complicated. I'm using that on all my computers and on all the computers I manage. The major visible differences is that I cannot use any more the theme I liked (but probably still a little more work probably would do that, if it was so important), and the System global menu is now hidden in the Applications menu. I did not yet try version 12.10, and Ubuntu Gnome Remix 12.10 seems promising, but it uses Gnome 3, which some people consider as much offending as Unity... I have been very impressed with Mint - the other day I had occasion to use the Live DVD in conjunction with a printer/scanner on a random PC on a random office LAN, and the thing just worked all around. Mint is very pleasant and refreshing indeed, and I'll shift to it if combining Ubuntu 12.10 with Gnome 2 is impossible. Running an OS that works for not against the user is a very addictive thing. Token on-topic reference: The GIMP was the first major gateway drug that started me down the path to a 100% Free Software world. Ubuntu stopped including the GIMP in its default installation package, and that's another strike against Canonical... sure it's stupidly easy to install, but dang it, GNU/Linux is supposed to include the GIMP right out of the box, is all! :o) The only problem, in my opinion, is that Ubuntu still insists on fitting on a CD instead of a DVD, for reasons I don't know. -- Olivier Lecarme ___ gimp-user-list mailing list gimp-user-list@gnome.org https://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gimp-user-list

2012/8/6 Anoko for...@gimpusers.com: I just want to add I'm also not happy with the new export vs save feature. I use GIMP for all my edit tasks; from complex foto editting to really simple screenshot taking and trimming it slightly. I used to love it for both, especially since it GIMP can do both small and complex tasks very easy. In 98% of the edits, I'm not using layers. I already almost always save everything in formats that do not lose information, often png, often for e.g. mailing. I don't want a xcf for screen shots or photographs... I've seen the new you have to use export messagebox about 20 times now, very annoying ;-). Why is it not OK to allow saving to e.g. png (especially when not using layers!), but keep the export function ALSO as it is? That way, everyone will be happy I think? Is it soo difficult to change one's habits a little, and to learn simple shortcuts? Ctrl-E or Shift-Ctrl-E to export the image to any format you wish, Ctrl-W Alt-W to close the image without saving it.

Re: [Gimp-user] Ubuntu version
2012/8/1 Dave Kimble dave.kim...@gmx.com: On the GIMP home page it says GIMP v2.8 was released on 2012-05-03. On the downloads page it says for Ubuntu use the Ubuntu Software Centre. That only has v2.6.12 . There doesn't seem to be any other way of getting it. Google is your friend: try Ubuntu GIMP 2.8 and you'll get several simple explanations about how to upgrade to GIMP 2.8, depending on your version of Ubuntu. I want the latest version because various posts indicate the counter-intuitive behaviour of Toolbox Window etc has changed, and it seems pointless to complain if it has already been fixed. My question on v2.6.12 is: since there are only 3 tools in the Toolbox that I ever use, and no buttons to bring up the Brightness/Contrast dialog etc, how do I change the contents of Toolbox ? In most apps, for example Firefox, you have View Toolbars Customise and can then drag and drop the buttons you use regularly from/to a pool of buttons. I thought there must be at least a plug-in that does that, because it is so obvious, but the plug-ins registry doesn't seem to have anything like that under Toolbox or Toolbar. Am I missing something ? Yes indeed. Call Image: Edit - Preferences and choose Toolbox. There you can decide the exact contents of your Toolbox. By the way, it was the same in version 2.6 and even 2.4, and what is this counter-intuitive behaviour you mention? -- Olivier Lecarme ___ gimp-user-list mailing list gimp-user-list@gnome.org https://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gimp-user-list

When using the paintbrush tool, there is no variance in the brush size as I press my pen harder/softer. However, there IS variance in brush opacity. I know my tablet/pen works fine because there is pressure sensitivity in my other tablet-responsive programs. How can I get my strokes to taper/grow accordingly to my pen pressure?

Re: [Gimp-user] Is there a feature for showing masks as an overlay and a command to see the layer underneath my current one?
2012/5/20 Bruce speakwithbr...@gmail.com: I'm not sure if this is the right place for asking questions, but I figured it's better than asking in the developer mailing list. 1. Is there a show quick mask feature for showing masks? I know Gimp has a Show quick mask feature which shows what you have (and haven't) selected by displaying a red overlay over your image, allowing you to add to or subtract from a selection by using the paintbrush, but I haven't found a similar feature for showing masks. [I'm deleting what tells about Photoshop, which simply will complicate the explanations]. GIMP's selection masks are called channels, and accessed using the Channels dialog. In this dialog, there is an eye icon in the leftmost part of every channel line, for showing or hiding it. You can also change the color used for making the channel visible. 2. Is there a command for showing the layer underneath the current layer I'm working on? This is another feature that I've seen Photoshop has that is helpful for blending multiple exposures (and lots of things, really). Basically it's just a keyboard shortcut for showing the layer underneath your current when you hold down a certain keyboard command (it's not something you toggle since it's meant for quickly viewing what's on the layer underneath your current one). I know I can press space bar to show or hide the layer I'm currently working on, but I can't do that unless I focus into the layers dialogue first. It'd be nice if I could activate that functionality from anywhere, regardless of whether I'm focused on the layers dialogue. Pressing the space bar only works in the current layer. Otherwise there is the eye icon. But you could attach a new keyboard shortcut to the function you need. Use Image: Edit - Keyboard Shortcuts, expand the Layers list, and attach a shortcut to the function needed,,, which unfortunately does not exist. -- Olivier Lecarme ___ gimp-user-list mailing list gimp-user-list@gnome.org http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gimp-user-list

I know there are plans to move to GTK3, maybe that'll solve the issue. I think so. But it works on GNU/Linux. The various Wacom pens are not specifically detected by the input device support, since when I took the two attached sceenshots, I was not even using the tablet. And the Wheel line is present for all Wacom components, including the eraser, the cursor (i.e., the Wacom mouse), and the pad. I'd like to see that screenshot ! I told you above how to do.

My camera suggests 90, my daughter's camera suggests 93, and I always decrease it to 85, or export to PNG.

A number in the range 0 to 100 is actually by definition a percentage ;-) That's a weird definition of a percentage! Considering the quality rating in JPEG as a percentage would mean that a quality equal to 100 would be perfect, i.e. no loss at all. Unfortunately, 100 means very good, and 90 means very good too. None of them is perfect, and the size of the file increases much faster than the quality. This explains why many people recommend 85, which is a good compromise.

Re: [Gimp-user] Gimp-2.7 Help/Manual?
You must create a new dynamic, you cannot change a system dynamic. Click the middle button in the bottom bar of the Paint Dynamics dialog. 2012/2/7 gerard82 for...@gimpusers.com: On Mon, Feb 6, 2012 at 10:59 PM, gerard82 wrote: In 2.6 you can click Use color from gradient. This has gone from 2.7.x! Moved, not gone. Create a new paint dynamics definition, map Color to Fade, in brush settings choose a gradient. Then try it on canvas :) Alexandre Prokoudine http://libregraphicsworld.org Thanks Alexandre. When I open the dynamics editor I can go to color but everyhing is grayed out. Same for brush settings. I looked in EditPreferences but couldn't find anything that should be set to enable/disable setting these. What am I doing wrong or what might be missing? I compiled babl,gegl and gimp from git.gnome.org and it all went w/o a hitch. I am using Gentoo Linux.

Re: [Gimp-user] Creating groups or layer sets in gimp
2012/1/3 Rob Antonishen rob.antonis...@gmail.com Any idea if masking of layer groups will make it into 2.8? According to http://tasktaste.com/projects/Enselic/gimp-2-8 it will not. -- Olivier Lecarme ___ gimp-user-list mailing list gimp-user-list@gnome.org http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gimp-user-list
Re: [Gimp-user] Gimp 2.7 does not detect my input devices
2011/12/14 YAFU for...@gimpusers.com The problem occurs since the GIMP requires GTK+ version = 2.24.7 (Around November 25). Currently I have to date the latest versions from Git of babl, gegl and GIMP. Gtk +-2.24.8, glib-2.31.2, pango-1.29.5. In Edit Preferences Input Devices Configure Extended Input Devices only shows Core Pointer. Do not show my mouse or my Genius tablet, which before the version I had mentioned they appeared and everything worked. In Gimp 2.6 everything works too I tried deleting the ~/.Gimp-2.7/ folder but the new generated device.rc file only shows Core Pointer. My distribution is Kubuntu Oneiric 11.10 64bit. xserver-common, xserver-xorg-core = 1.10.4 You must configure gtk+ with the option --with-xinputs=yes Olivier Lecarme ___ gimp-user-list mailing list gimp-user-list@gnome.org http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gimp-user-list

Would like to know how I can update the text. The best solution is to change to GIMP 2.7.3. The new version completely changes the Text tool, with a lot of improvements. -- Olivier Lecarme ___ gimp-user-list mailing list gimp-user-list@gnome.org http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gimp-user-list
