Re: [Gimp-user] How to install help system for 2.0
Hi, Elaine Normandy [EMAIL PROTECTED] writes: Without difficulty, I downloaded the Fedora rpm and am now happily playing with Gimp 2.0. Nice work, everyone! However, when I attempted to download the tarball and do the ./configure, I get the following message: checking for gimp-2.0... Package gimp-2.0 was not found in the pkg-config search path. Perhaps you should add the directory containing `gimp-2.0.pc' to the PKG_CONFIG_PATH environment variable No package 'gimp-2.0' found I couldn't find the gimp-2.0.pc file anywhere using locate. Suggestions? You need to install the GIMP development RPM that's available from the same place you got your GIMP-2.0 RPM from. Or, alternatively, you can configure gimp-help-2 with the --without-gimp option. It will then not attempt to locate your GIMP installation and will simply install the help files into the configured prefix. If GIMP is installed in the same prefix, it will find the help files there. You will probably have to specify --prefix=/usr to make this happen.

Re: [Gimp-user] Converting image to 16bpp?
Hi, David Brownlee [EMAIL PROTECTED] writes: I'm trying to convert an image to 16bpp with dithering so it can be used on a 16bit windows display. All the apps on my NetBSD box happily dither a 32bit image for 16bit display, but Windows ends up with the traditional 'banding' effect. You could redo your app in GTK+. GTK+ uses GdkRGB to display 32bit images on 16bit displays and is has some nifty dithering routines. I am not sure if there's a GIMP plug-in to do this. Of course you could simply take a screenshot on a 16bit display ;) Sven ___ Gimp-user mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.xcf.berkeley.edu/mailman/listinfo/gimp-user

[Gimp-user] Future GIMP plans
I've read the discussion in GIMP-developers list on the plans for GIMP future versions and their timeframe. So I can just add the impression from reading the discussion on the new 2.0 version in Russian Linux forum. The main problem of The GIMP 2.0 from the users POW is, it is more powerful than regular users need and still don't have features the professional needs. These features are: more than 8 bits per channel and color management. So as for me I'd like to see RAW support (I mean without downsampling) and 16 bits per channel first of all :) . -- With respect Alexander Rabtchevich ___ Gimp-user mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.xcf.berkeley.edu/mailman/listinfo/gimp-user

If you speak of raw data from digital camera. There is dcraw. There is a plugin for it called rawphoto. As The Gimp can only manage 8 bits per channel, you willnot get more.

[Gimp-user] Monitor for Gimp
I find that my current monitor (Orion 17 inch OC-17DB0725) has adjustments for brightness and contrast but none for gamma. The venerable Gimp User Manual (GUM) offers instructions for making at least a crude Gamma adjustment. But my monitor has no such adjustment. and when I load the file recommended by the GUM I find that my monitor is at the high end of the scale for gamma. Is there a monitor at a reasonable cost, a few hundreds of dollars, that allows for adjustment of gamma? Bearing in mind the limitations of Gimp in the color management area, what is suggested? I just want to get things close enough that what I send to the printer will bear some relationship to what I see on the screen in Gimp, allowing for (of course) the conversion to CMYK at some point. -- John Culleton Able Typesetters and Indexers http://wexfordpress.com ___ Gimp-user mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.xcf.berkeley.edu/mailman/listinfo/gimp-user

The best is to adjust the gamma within the Xfree software. There is an application called kgamma and a plugin for gkrellm to do such an adjustement. You can alsao use lprof to create a profile for your monitor. lprof allows you to have a separate gamma for each of the RGB channels.

[Gimp-user] A bit OT: Setting up hp scanjet 7400c
I've been using an epson 1240 perfection USB scanner for a very long time successfully with the Gimp Xsane (latest stable versions) under linux debian testing. Now my company has given me an hp scanjet 7400c with ADF which - CONNECTED TO A USB port - I cannot make even start, no sign of activity at all (it works corectly under windows XP!) even though I have been trying any suggestion provided in the Internet (many many postings and howtos!) to no avail. I wonder if someone out there has been able to set up this scanner under linux and how he/she succeeded in it. Step by step instructions will be highly appreciated.

Re: [Gimp-user] libexif.so.9
I have it installed on my Fedora Core system, and I installed the rpm from gimp.org without difficulty once I uninstalled gimp 1.2. Do you use yum? Try doing the following from a console: su enter root password here yum install libexif If you have never used yum before, it may take a while. If yum is not installed on your machine, there should be instructions to do so if you google for them. If Synaptic works for you, yum should work as well.

I have been diddling with XF86Config for years now, and I never used the optional Gamma parameter. On my particular monitor, with both brightness and contrast cranked up all the way, and using the gamma test file gamma.tif, the gray rectangle matches at about the top of the scale with the monitor at minimum zoom. Top of the scale is 3.0. So is this the setting I should use for Gamma in XF86Config?
