The names of properties of GEGL operations are as far as I am
concerned API, when creating a user interface in a photo manipulation
application like GIMP, f-spot or other applications on top it would be
the responsibility of the programmer to map the scientific terms used
to describe the properties to sliders that maybe uses terms more
useful to a casual non expert image processing person. Using the
standard deviation instead of an approximate radius of the gaussian
blur is much more mathematically correct and is also the way the SVG
1.2 filter specification specifies the parameters for a gaussian blur.

Ah, I see what you mean. That's a question to author of the GEGL op then.

Qtpfsgui uses align_image_stack from hugin to do it. If you say that
Qtpfsgui doesn't work, that means that hugin doesn't align stack of
images either, right? :-)

Re: [Gimp-developer] SHIFT+bracket versus brace

We can't provide defaults that work on all keyboard layouts. There is a
good reason to use Shift here, so it will stay. The good reason is that,
if the bindings work for your keyboard layout, then pressing Shift
increases the amount that the value will be changed.

Regardless, this is what they require.

I think you mean "lossy" here.

Alamy (for example) requires a minimum uncompressed file size of
48 MBytes and a maximum compressed file size of 25 MBytes.  They
have instructions on how to upscale images. See for example
http://www.alamy.com/contributors/stock-photography-digital-cameras.asp


If you want to go on a crusade against stock image companies,
that's fine :-)

[Gimp-developer] Feature request, include filename with curves autosave

2008-10-09 Thread Kent Tenney
Howdy,

I wish the gimp-curves-tool.settings file, which contains sections
starting with:

(GimpCurvesConfig "2008-10-03 14:34:26"
(time 1223062466)
(channel value)
(curve
...

also listed the name of the file (or 'unnamed')

fully qualified would be great, bare would be fine.

Thanks,
Kent

GIMP 2.6.1 is a bug-fix release in the stable GIMP 2.6 series. The
source can be downloaded from ftp.gimp.org or one of the mirrors listed

Binary packages for the various supported platforms should become
available soon; please check the Downloads section on www.gimp.org.
Rumours are that the 2.6.1 installer for Windows will include a version
of GTK+ that has the utility window hint implemented, keeping the GIMP
toolbox and docks above the image window and out of the taskbar.

This is the name of the file:
''
ie. no file (the only completely-accurate preservation of the curve is
in the gimp-curves-tool.settings file, and unless you've explicitly
exported it, no other file will contain data on that curve.)
Or were you asking for a list of filenames that this curve has been exported as?

Hi list,

I've been mucking around with a GIMP plugin a la python, and I have a question:

Is there a method to discover the GIMP version and/or ~/.gimp folder
that works across platform (from python)?

And (in the interest of being a pest) a follow-up:

Can I attach a plug-in to the Palettes sub-menu?
