[SLUG] Re: opening a photo in GIMP
Hi Martin, I can't say I've spent much time looking into it since working out the solution. I had the same prob with photos from a rels camera. Not all of them, but a few. They have a Canon 350D DSLR. I've got a 400D and have had no problems...but you're piqued my curiosity. I'll see what else I can find out...unless someone here knows more??? Regards, Patrick Re: [SLUG] Re: opening a photo in GIMP "Martin Visser" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Mon, 15 Sep 2008 15:00:01 +1000 Patrick/Chris, So any idea of what the root issue was? Every camera produced JPEG these days has an EXIF header. It would seem that the camera is in need of a firmware upgrade if it is writing bodgy EXIF (or less likely that GIMP has encountered an EXIF field not properly handled) Martin -- Registered GNU/Linux User 368634 -- SLUG - Sydney Linux User's Group Mailing List - http://slug.org.au/ Subscription info and FAQs: http://slug.org.au/faq/mailinglists.html

I've already written directly to Chris, who sent me a copy of one of the photos he's having problems with. Thought other people might like to know of one solution. Strip out the EXIF (1) data in the photo and all is well. Imagemagick will do this for you: mogrify -strip Or for every photo in the directory, use: mogrify -strip *.jpg (or whatever the extension is).

Hi Chris, Off the top of my head, I cannot think of a specific reason, but if you want to upload a copy someone for me to download, or e-mail me a copy, I'd be happy to see if the problem is with the image or your GIMP set up.
