No. and there wont be one in this iteration either. Its nontrivial and
probably pretty slow to access pixel under cursor for dynamics
evaluation and the whole thing needs to stabilize first. there are
other simpler dynamics inputs that are proposed, but not happening for
2.8, like the position of the cursor in the image.

 And along with that is there a brush dynamic to control the gamma of a
 brush while painting?  (This would be much like hardness for
 parametric brushes but for colour (stamp) type brushes would have some
 value).

What do you mean by gamma? There is the Force output. It tries to
emulate the force a brush is applied  to the canvas with, that
saturates some parts of the brush when applied. It has been part of
gimp for ages, under the name of hardness but it is not really
hardness as used in vector brushes so it has a new name now.

I will have to play with the force setting. I a looking to have a
pixmap brush be lighter or darker based on brush pressure. Maybe
explained like a dynamic dodge/burn applied to the brush source while
painting?

Re: [Gimp-developer] Include resynthesizer plugin in Gimp distribution?

 This is a request to put the Resynthesizer plugin in the Gimp project.

 The author, Paul Harrison, has given me permission to maintain
 Resynthesizer.

 I am an unaffiliated computer scientist and have developed in C, Python,
 and Scheme under Unix, Linux, and MS Windows.

 I have studied the Resynthesizer code and created a short list of bug
 fixes, performance enhancements, and refactorings (breaking one large
 source file into many, and splitting the resynthesizer into an engine
 and a GUI.)

 If that's agreeable, I will learn Gimp development processes and create
 the proper make files etc before uploading a new version to the Gimp
 project.  Also, internationalize where necessary.  (But not recode to
 Gimp style?)

 The Resynthesizer package includes:
the engine written in C++, with its own GUI of settings
several plugins written in Scheme that call the engine:
  Smart enlarge
  Smart remove selection (now called Heal selection)

 I would like to include plugins that call the resynthesizer, by other
 authors:
Uncrop - synthesizes a larger image, same perspective, wider view.
  Written by me.
Fill resynthesized pattern - fills with a pattern, but a random
  texture instead of a regular tiling.  Written by Rob A

 Currently the resynthesizer package is distributed by Debian and other
 organizations.  I have corresponded with the Debian builder of
 resynthesizer, but he is not the maintainer and relies on the author's
 downstream source.

 I believe it is one of the most useful and popular plugin packages.
 Putting it in Gimp and getting the bugs fixed would help many users.

 I would be glad to provide more details.

Hi Lloyd,

Personally I'm not principally against including Resynthesizer, but for 
it to happen it is important that the initial set of patches looks good. 
So I suggest you start with getting together patches that adds 
Resynthesizer to GIMP which can then be evaluated.

I certainly see it as a favour for users to include a popular plug-in in 
the default install.

[Gimp-developer] gimp gui wiki status update - need some dns love

2010-05-20 Thread Liam R E Quin
Alexia Death has done a Death-Defying stunt and got the wiki working!

I still need to configure apache - to do that I need gui.gimp.org to
point to 174.142.40.129 - who can do that?

Liam

Features apart, Rob, you can use some sort of source layer tracking
by using the clone tool instead. Just use it in registered mode, and
explore the painting modes/ painting on the layer mask, etc...

  Hi Tom -
 
  I'm a partner at Backstop Media (http://www.backstopmedia.com) and I found
  your resume online. We're looking for someone with your background to write
  a work for hire article for IBM developerWorks on the following topic:
 
  Title: Modifying the Open Source GIMP image editor
 
  Summary of content:
  After having read the article, the reader will be familiar with how the
  millions of lines of the large GIMP code base is structured, where the key
  modules live, and consequently how to approach the code base when
  wanting to perform advanced additions or modifications to it.
 
  Articles run about 2,500-3,000 words and we typically pay $500. We would
  need to have this piece written by the end of May so please let me know
  if you'd be interested as soon as possible.
 
  Thanks, Bob
 
  Bob Herbstman
  Backstop Media
