of the significance of what they were doing. I'm afraid they weren't :(. I didn't know that EXIF came out from Japan, shame on them to make a spec with ASCII strings when nowadays it should be UTF-8. In what year was the spec defined? regards, -- David Gmez Jabber ID

Hi ; ), Also, I find the picture of the wet baby in the Screen Shots section rather annoying. I mean, it's not the baby's fault, but I think that with all the stuff going on in Europe (Dutroux), placing a half-naked kid with amateur lightning in this section is not a matter of particularly

Hi all, Just installed gimp-2.0pre1 ;) I've scanned some jpeg images with a 24bit depth. Some of them are old photographies in blackwhite that show 'bands' when are displayed on a 16 bit depth display. After digging in the menus i noticed that the image could be transformed to a indexed pallete,

[Gimp-developer] Giving a try to gimp-perl
