Re: [Gimp-user] Coding for Gimp
Eric Pierce wrote: Forgive my naivety, but what would be a good way to plunge into some Gimp code and maybe even help out someday? We need lots of people, for everything from bug fixing to plug-in maintenance, and core development. Plug-ins are smaller, so getting into those is somewhat easier than attacking the core, although since it's been re-structured, the core is nicely objectified and readable too (except for a couple of places). Some information on getting started is here... http://mmmaybe.gimp.org/develop/ and a page I wrote for the wiki, which I hope will eventually make its way onto the website, is here: http://wiki.gimp.org/gimp/GettingStartedWithGimp This also contains lots of information on how non-programmer types can wet their feet and help out with the website, bugzilla, testing, documentation and general helping out support. For more developer type profiles, you could look here... http://developer.gimp.org Cheers, Dave. -- David Neary, Lyon, France E-Mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] ___ Gimp-user mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.xcf.berkeley.edu/mailman/listinfo/gimp-user
Re: [Gimp-user] Perl-o-tine filter and JPEG image quality
Hi, Christopher Hicks [EMAIL PROTECTED] writes: Hi! Is there a way to control the JPEG image quality settings for the JPEG images that can be generated by the Perl-o-tine filter? I'm finding the quality of the JPEGs that are generated by the filter are of lower quality than the source JPEG or XCF file used as the source for the Perl-o-tine filter. I'm using Gimp 1.2.5 on Slackware 8 Linux. We're having the same problem with gimp on Red Hat. I would love it if someone would take the time to update this feature and I'm sure a lot of the end users would particularly appreciate it too. Our designers end up doing these things by hand or using external tools which seems like such a waste since perl-o-tine is so close to making this really pain-free to do entirely within gimp. Of course there's a way. Modify the source of perlotine so that it doesn't call the general gimp_file_save() function but uses file_jpeg_save() explicitely. The latter function gives you fine-grained control over the JPEG save parameters such as the quality setting.
