[Gimp-user] help with filters
Hi Gimpers I'm a very lite gimp user, so I'm asking the gurus on how to achive such a effect (stapmped): http://tanren.pl/logo/zen.gif in this image: http://tanren.pl/logo/tanren_transparent.png I can imagine going pixel by pixel, but I'm sure there is a more productive way. I'll more than thankfull for any guide lines.

As I explained in my original post I am in the progress of converting a Photoshop action that performs a workflow to process photos from specific cameras. This is just one of the steps it uses. As the step is quick in Photoshop and very slow in GIMP, I merely wondered if this was to be expected or the symptom of a problem. One of the other replies suggested that the large radius could be expected to make the USM filter slow as the algorithm had not been revised for some years and was perhaps not working as well as it could. Steve, please don't be so ignorant. Carol has a point here. If unsharp mask is slow, it makes sense to look for alternatives. There's no point in sticking to your workflow if it turns out that the same result can be better achieved differently. So, are you certain that unsharp mask is better than using levels?

Re: [Gimp-user] help with filters
Try this: - create a new white layer - add some noise to it. (filters-noise-scatter RGB, followed by layer-colors-curves-curves , flatten the left image of the curve to darken noise) - Set layer to darken only. If you wish, reduce teh saturation with layers-colors-Heu Saturation -Merge both layers -Filters-map-bump-map - reduce elevation until desired effect is achieved.

[Gimp-user] Gimp Tutorials
I was wondering if there are any more Gimp tutorial sites about apart from GUG and Gimp.org and I think there was another for photographers. I was googling for some but nothing of note came up. Should I just use PS tutorials? Im new to all this so I just want to learn some techniques. Ill be creative later :) ___ Gimp-user mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.xcf.berkeley.edu/mailman/listinfo/gimp-user

Do you mean ( http://www.gimpguru.org/ )? Im new to all this so I just want to learn some techniques. Ill be creative later :) And what is it specifically you're interested in learning about? The beginner (and quite a few intermediate) tutorials on gimp.org do focus on different basic techniques.

[EMAIL PROTECTED] (2004-08-17 at 1052.52 +0200): Steve, please don't be so ignorant. Carol has a point here. If unsharp mask is slow, it makes sense to look for alternatives. There's no point in sticking to your workflow if it turns out that the same result can be better achieved differently. So, are you certain that unsharp mask is better than using levels? I tried levels 20 1.0 235 and USM 25 .3 1 in the first image of http://www.lonestardigital.com/photoshop_quicktips.htm and while the results look similar, the histogram shows periodic holes (predictable from levels), so problably that is the reason the action Steve is porting used USM. Maybe he should give a look at USM code and try to emulate with blur and other ops. GSR ___ Gimp-user mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.xcf.berkeley.edu/mailman/listinfo/gimp-user

In spite of my best attempts there is always some dust someplace. I'm wondering if there is an easy way to cover this without having to touch up each speck by hand. You might try the Despeckle filter (Filters-Enhance-Despeckle). It does best at dust removal if you select a small area containing the dust speck before applying it, but depending on your image it might work okay when applied to the whole thing.

If unsharp mask is slow, it makes sense to look for alternatives. Of course it does. There's no point in sticking to your workflow if it turns out that the same result can be better achieved differently. I don't intend to, nor did I say I planned to. So, are you certain that unsharp mask is better than using levels? No. The point I was trying to make in my reply to Carol, and maybe I didn't put it across clearly, was the following. In general GIMP (in Linux) performs roughly the same as Photoshop (in Windows) on my machine. So when I found this one filter that is so much slower with the same settings I became curious, wondering if it is to be expected, due to the way GIMP handles USM. That is all. I was not saying I will blindly use the function because the workflow uses it. I was not saying that I won't look for alternatives. I was not saying that GIMP sucks or has a bug, merely asking for an opinion from those more knowledgeable than myself in the workings of the USM filter. I do appreciate Carol's pointing out an alternative. I sometimes feel though, that on mailing lists in general, a lot of friction could be avoided if we only answer what is asked, not what we think is being asked by trying to read between the lines. In response to Alan Horkan, it is the plug-in version that I'm using.

Best, -- Bill Thanks. I will test that. I played around last night with combinations of blurs on different layers, then adding the layers together (probably not the correct way to describe what I did, but I don't know the word). So far not really happy with what I've gotten. . . . Hmm Don't take that as me blaming Gimp mind you, just my inability to use the program.
