 Though I haven't followed this thread from the start and don't know
 who said what on which issue but I do want to suggest you to try
 Cinepaint (16-bit Gimp) for 16-bit - it's here:

 HTH,

IMO it is already a professional level product for web images. But it 
still lags other free products with repect to color model, color 
profiles and conformance to printing standards like X3. So it is not 
a fully satisfactory replacement to commercial products for 
publishers.  Work is proceeding in this area but the color model 
problem is a difficult nut to crack apparently.

 Every time and on each machine i get Error: Can't convert PSD mode to GIMP
 base imagetype  any brilliant insights? (im sure there are many, how about

Re: [Gimp-user] GIMP and tilt sensitivity

Hi,
[EMAIL PROTECTED] (2007-07-19 at 1856.54 -0400):
 I have personally tried to create such a brush, but the results are
 inconclusive. I use an Intuos 3 tablet and have created (just for test) a 
 3
 x 3 matrix containing 9 images and 2 ranks, first for x-tilt and second 
 for
 y-tilt. As far as I understood, this would have created one image for:

I did a demo for some doubts in IRC, over two years ago, and I
barely remember it so excuse the fuzzyness of the description
(currently I do not have access to the tablet, so no way to test it
again): 3*3 items per layer were for tilt, using each axis as indexer,
and the layers were another indexer or two (2 groups of 2 layers),
thus giving 3D or 4D image. I think it worked at the time, allowing
people to see the effects of the 3 or 4 tablet variables.

Re: [Gimp-user] GIMP and tilt sensitivity

2007-07-22 Thread Alexander C. Gaber

Hi GSR,

Thank you very much for your examples, they also helped me understand a bit
more the Save as GIH dialogue. One of the things that strikes me as
illogical was that you start the ranks from the bottom and go to the top as
you add more ranks?... It seemed more logical to me to have the first
governing rank on top, while the second is underneath it, etc. If you don't
mind explaining the logic, it would be great and might teach me a thing or
two about GIMP and this concept.

So, taking your brush pipe-brush-pressure-angle-and-tilts.gih, I read the
first rank for x-tilt, composed of 3 cells. Next rank, y-tilt, created from
3 cells as well - so far, that's a 9 cell matrix with the numbers 1 through
9, printed according to the X/Y tilt. Then you have an angular brush with
two ranks (the black and red colored numbers governing the angle of your
stroke, somehow the black only appears from degree 0 (upwards) to 90
(right), from 90 to 359 the red takes over? Shouldn't it be black from
degrees 0 to 179 and red from 180 to 359?) and the last rank, pressure, uses
black and red colors for a light pressure and green and blue for harder
pressure, alternating colors as per the angle of your brush.

P.S. I'm explaining these things back to you just to make sure I
understood things right, please don't feel offended if I state the obvious
:) But your example is much appreciated, it proved the options work as
expected (except that weird angular decision) and also gave me an insight
the manual was not able to provide.
