Re: [Gimp-user] Forschungsprojekt zur Verbesserung von GIMP
Liebe Carolin, dies ist eine englischsprachige Mailingliste, Ihr solltet also auch eure Mail und die Umfrage in Englisch machen. Dies wäre nicht nur netter gegenüber den meisten Lesen der Mailingliste, es würde die Reichweite auch erheblich erhöhen. Mit freundlichen Grüßen Tobias 2012/5/22 Carolin Hillmann carolin.hillm...@googlemail.com: Hallo Liebe Gimp-User, Wir repräsentieren ein Forschungsprojekt der Technischen Universität Berlin. In diesem Zusammenhang suchen wir NutzerInnen von professionellen Grafikprogrammen, die zu einem Interview über ihren diesbezüglichen Arbeitsalltag bereit wären. Unser Ziel ist die benutzerfreundlichere Gestaltung der GIMP-Oberfläche. Wer Lust hat uns dabei behilflich zu sein, den bitten wir den angehängten Fragebogen ausgefüllt an uns zurück zu schicken. Wir danken für euer Engagement!!!

[Gimp-user] Gimp 2.8 + Brushes
Hello, my name is Alex Stegmann, and I've been using Gimp for sometime now. It's a fantastic program, but I thought the area where it lacked the most was the brushes. It only came with a few basic brushes, and you often had to download extra packs for that something extra. This in itself wasn't a huge deal, although if you had brush sets more like those of PaintTool SAI or MyPaint, that would be really great. Those program don't have as much as Gimp, but they have some really great brushes, which makes them fun to draw in. My bigger concerns is adding your own brushes to Gimp via imported brush packs. While you say you integrate all files, the brush manager is lacking. If I wish to add a few brush packs to see what they do, the brush list quickly becomes clogged. You can't seem to delete brushes without going back into the brushes folder which you first put them in, and then delete the files. This also means if you like a few brushes in a pack, but the rest of it is useless to you, then you have to have everything, or nothing. There is a lot to be desired in terms of the brushes, and I hope you can improve these soon. I stand by Gimp, even though people often call it a watered down version of Photoshop, but Gimp 2.8 has been a huge disappointment for me. On a final note, when choosing a new brush, especially for the animated texture brushes you include, I think it would be useful if you automatically went to the brushes native size. This saves time and energy, especially if you are testing out new brushes. MyPaint has this feature, and I have found it incredibly useful. This also means I can just click the brush a second time to reset it to the default settings. I would very much like to see Gimp become an essential piece of software on every digital artists computer, but for now it seems to be trailing behind. ___ gimp-user-list mailing list gimp-user-list@gnome.org https://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gimp-user-list

But if I open a tiff version of the very same raw file, the notification does pop up. My understanding is that current GIMP 2.8 can't handle 16bit, regardless of file format. Is that right? Yes, these warning dialogs are generated by the file-format plugin and it seems the ppm plugin just silently discards data. Gimp 2.8 is limited to 8 bit per channel, but if you feel adventurous you are invited to try the current git version of babl/gegl/gimp and experiment with the new high-bit-depth support. This still is strictly unstable and has an inconsistent UI in lots of places. It is fun though :) I hope this helps, Simon Hi, So after a bunch of package installing and compiling, I am successfully running Gimp 2.9.1 from git, on debian wheezy. The thing is, when I open a 16bit tiff, Gimp *still* pops up the can't handle 16bit, information will be lost After opening the file I go to Image Precision and change to 16bit. But from what I understand, setting the file to 16bit *after* it was downed from 16 to 8 doesn't help. Information was already discarded in the first conversion. I don't understand: can't Gimp just open the file as it is, with no conversion whatsoever, since support to 16bit is there? Thanks much, Bruno ___ gimp-user-list mailing list gimp-user-list@gnome.org https://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gimp-user-list

Yes - all it takes is programming, code to handle each format at higher bit depths. Patches are generally welcomed...
