[Gimp-user] Help with GIMP Gif
Hello All! This is my first post and I'm a bit familiar with GIMP but am still kind of a newbie to the program. I particularly got it so that I could create my own signature for a forum that I participate on regularly. I recently hit a road block that I can't seem to get around and I'm not sure if it's possible at all. I wanted to make an animated Gif image and I wanted the original gif to be transparent. I didn't know any other way to do this, so I simply separated all 54 frames and edited each photo myself, and then re-formatted them back into a gif. I then opened as layers each of the frames. I used the "Lighten Only" effect on the rest of the images on the signature, so I wanted to keep the gif that way too. This required me to go through each of the 54 frames and select "Lighten Only". At first, I ran into this problem http://imgur.com/l5fiKq7. Even though each frame said "replace", it didn't seem to actually replace the previous frame. Then I downloaded an animation script called "Animastack". I put [bg] on the background frame and [fg] on the foreground frame and then "processed animastack tags" and it grouped together all frames with the foreground and background so I had 54 separate groups. When I did the "playback" though, it worked! IT FINALLY WORKED! i was so happy; I had spent so long trying to get it to work. Then I tried to export the file as a gif and ran into the "indexed or grayscale" issue. Is there ANY WAY to export this without changing the colors? Anything other than "gif" that I could export to that would have a similar effect? Thank you for reading!! I appreciate any feedback/suggestions. -- pickupthestix16 (via www.gimpusers.com/forums) ___ 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

Re: [Gimp-user] Downloaded 2.8.16 & no shortcut was created on desktop. Don't know how to launch?
You have to locate the actual GIMP application. If I recall my Windows days correctly, right clicking or Control-clicking on the application should bring up a menu which has a "make shortcut" item, or similarly named. Then just drag the shortcut to your desktop. Same procedure for the GIMP doc. Ross On Dec 16, 2015, at 3:10 PM, Bob Owen wrote: > Hi. Brand new GIMP user.

[Gimp-user] Can't open nef images in gimp 2.9.3
Hello One of the greatest things of the new gimp 2.9.3 is the handling of nef files (raw camera images), they even appear in the file format list, great! But in my windows 8 x64 bits with Partha's build it just doesn't open, when trying to do that GIMP says image can't be opened, but i can open the image even on windows photo software (the one that is fullscreen) and it is ok. I dont know if this is a bug of GIMP or something specific to windows so i'll wait until someone else can duplicate this issue.

Alex Using default GIMP 2.9.3 updated a couple of days ago on Linux, and opening a CR2 file, the resulting image is the correct size, and only 8-bits, so I'm assuming the raw file is being opened by UFRaw, yes? Opening a NEF file using GIMP, the resulting image is just a 160px by 120px thumbnail, though the file on disk is 17MB. So NEF doesn't seem to be working through the UFRaw plug-in. I'm using UFRaw version 0.22, compiled with the GIMP plug-in, FWIW, and in case the UFRaw version makes a difference. Some GEGL code suggests that there might be raw file support independent of UFRaw (rawload.c). Is this available through GIMP?

Is there some official suport for NEF files inside GIMP, maybe through GEGL? The error to which I was actually referring was the fact that when opening a NEF file, all I get using default GIMP 2.9.3 on Linux is the thumbnail, not the full image. If you can't open a NEF file using GIMP (on Windows), and all I get when opening a NEF file using GIMP (on Linux) is a tiny little thumbnail, then it seems to me that these might be related errors. But of course they might be two entirely separate errors.

Re: [Gimp-user] Can't open nef images in gimp 2.9.3
Hi Alex. When you select RAW images (with a long list of image formats such as cr2, nef etc.) from the dropdown list and then click on your NEF, does it open UFRaw or not? Let me know otherwise and we'll work to get it fixed for you. You can email me directly or respond there. Don't rely on the automatic detection since it's a back and forth between GIMP and UFRaw. NEF is based on the TIFF format and hence the confusion. Thanks, Partha PS: Another recommendation I would make is to use RawTherapee to preprocess and then send to GIMP.
