Re: [Gimp-user] different Vignette parameters 2.8 vs 2.10
i too don't understand how the same function in two versions of a program would be different. there are things about programming i don't understand (how to do it) and when a program works and the developers try to make it better, somehow they succeed in making it worse. but to the question, the functions in the two versions, you would think, would be the same. my suggestion to you is to join the developers mailing list and pose your question to them. they may not even be aware of the change in functionality. or maybe, there is something you are not aware to do (like when you make a selection, to press the "enter" key to "save" the selection so you can continue to do what you could do in 2.8) to make the function operate like it did in 2.8. yet, they may have an answer for you rather than a workaround to your problem. cheers dwain On Wed, Dec 5, 2018 at 12:55 PM Henk Koning via gimp-user-list < gimp-user-list@gnome.org> wrote: > Thank you, Steve, for taking the time to react.

Thank you, Steve, for taking the time to react. Creating a vignette 'by hand' is always an option, of course, but that does not answer my question. I would appreciate an answer to my question. Anybody?

I never realized there was a vignette tool - I had to dig for it to check it out. I have always created vignette effects 'by hand.' So I don't have an answer to your question, but here's an alternative method that may be useful: https://gimpguru.wordpress.com/Tutorials/Vignetting/ This method creates a new layer that selectively darkens the visible layers below it except in the highlighted region. Changing the layer's opacity changes the strength of the result; I typically over-do the effect a little on purpose, then dial down the vignette layer's opacity until the image looks right. To decrease the sharpness, contrast and/or saturation of the area your vignette darkens, apply these changes to the same layer created per the above instructions. :o) ___ 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-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] different Vignette parameters 2.8 vs 2.10
Dear All, I am new to this list. I have a question about the Vignette filter. In 2.8 onder Tools, GECL tools, I often used Vignette. Mostly with a Radiance of 1.6 or 1.7, a Softness of .8 and Gamma 1,2 or 3. I have the habit of recording the non-default values in the new layer and/or in the name of the exported jpg. In that way I can always trace back the steps from the original image, and recreate a desired effect with the same parameter values in another situation. Now I am over to GIMP 2.10 and I find that the Vignette option under Filters does not work in the same way! The same values of the parameters have a different outcome. That is very annoying. Now I have to remember for all my images with which version of GIMP they were made. In fact, even worse, the new Vignette filter is much less usable for me. The maximum value of Softness is 1 and it still creates a rather sharp border to the darker vignette area's in the corners. I prefer a much softer transition from the center of the image to the made darker corners of the image. I prefer a very mild vignette effect, which is even not noticeable for the untrained eye, but which still gives a focus on the center of the image and a little more dynamic in the light. Question: is there a way to have in 2.10 the same Vignette result, with the same parameter values, as in 2.8 ? Any help would be greatly appreciated.
