The proper hardware can be an ordinary keyboard that still has some keys

seems to have crashing issues when it isn't configured exactly right, so 
the makefile explicitly includes the necessary libraries as opposed to 
asking gimptool-2.0 what libraries and C-flags should be used.  Also 
included is kill.awk, which removes WinMain from the preprocessed 
version of rawphoto.c; the makefile runs this automatically.  The 
WinMain call messed everything up, and removing it doesn't seem to cause 
any problems.

I have started cleaning up the code to make it easier to understand, 
maintain, and extend, but at this point it is functionally no different 
from RawPhoto 0.7.

However, regarding this problem:

 gtkimcontextxim.c:67: parse error before XICCallback

The X11 headers on solaris specify the wrong prototype for XIMCallbacks
and XICCallbacks. Working around that issue is somewhat ugly.

It's quite possible that gtk+ doesn't have such workarounds in place
(after all, it's the solaris header files which are broken).

You might try using the X11 header files from xfree86 or x.org, they should
work. You can also look around on google, as this is a common problem on
solaris.

It could of course be sth. else, but this has bitten me a number of times
when adding x input support to applications.

Re: [Gimp-user] Layers in GIMP and Photoshop Layer Effects

Hi Cedric,

cedric wrote:
 A) I'm not sure i've understood everything but some told few days ago, 
 that it was possible to do in GIMP (with layer modes) all what Adobe PS 
 does in layer effects. At this time the best thing i know for gimp is 
 the layer_effects.scm. But may be I mistake.

Yes, it is, but effect layers are another matter. A layer mode is
a way to change how one layer renders with the layers beneath it.
An effect layer is a layer with no data attached which acts on
the data flowing through it (to do something like a curve
adjustment, or inversion, or some other color operation). There
is no reason why an effect layer could not be more powerful, and
allow things like blur layers, but as it was done in Photoshop,
effect layers only use pixel-by-pixel effects.

 B) Photoshop has a very interesting functionnality in being able to 
 group layers (pasting in new can be done by copy/paste and layer-new).

Another one not present in the GIMP at all. Sorry.

 C) The add of several layers increases much more the size of a XCF file 
 than it does with a PSD

Can't comment on this one, sorry.

 D) It is impossible (may be it is a technical reason) to work with 
 transform tools on a masked layer. In my mind, the tool could be easily 
 applied to both, but i'm sure i mistake.

You mean transform the layer and the mask? I'm sure that would be
possible. Could you open a bug report in Bugzilla for this
feature addition?

Thanks for your comments,
Dave.

if you are using gimp2, then you need to drop the font into ~/.fonts (for
system-wide use) or into ~/.gimp-2.0/fonts for only gimp to use it.
use the tool with the big T icon and touch the image surface to engage
the tool.

if you double click on the button with the big T, you will see the text
tool options and be able to control the text size and other things.

weird to me that you can get the fonts to work in emacs but not gimp,
unless you are using gimp-1.2.  if this is the case, i highly recommend
upgrading to gimp-2.0 since it uses fontconfig.  the way fonts worked
were in flux during the gimp-1.2 series.

Yes, it isn't possible to assign shortcuts to items in GtkOptionMenus

There's a patch in Bugzilla however that will most likely get into
GIMP 2.2 that will make it possible to assign keyboard shortcuts to
Previous Layer Mode, Next Layer Mode.

The GIMP text editor supports GTK+ input modules just like any other
GTK+ widget that allows to input text. AFAIK there are input modules
to enter japanese text.

You could also write the text in emacs and open it from file using the
GIMP text editor. Your file needs to be in UTF-8 encoding though.

Re: [Gimp-user] Windows compilation of RawPhoto 0.7

2004-09-02 Thread Eric Pierce
Hi,

First off, thanks for writing this plug-in.  There's some cool RAW options in the 
plugin that I was never knew about when converting RAW images.

Basically, it works for me on Win2000 Pro at work w/the static version of your plugin. 
 I need to try the dynamic one again.  I didn't have dcraw installed at the time I 
tried the dynamically linked binary (didn't know I needed dcraw installed - maybe add 
that to your install instructions and where to copy the dcraw binary in Windows?)

Two things:
1.  Should the top 5 check boxes be radio buttons so only one can be selected?  I 
selected all for shits 'n giggles and saw several conflicting flags being passed to 
dcraw.

2.  It seems your plugin is trying to open any file that Gimp tries to open regardless 
of extension.
Here's a screen:
http://epierce.freeshell.org/multimedia/dcraw.png

On the whole, I'm pleased to be using your plugin/dcraw.  Now I can removed the 
hundreds of megabytes of software that accompanied our camera (Canon G5).

Thanks and I'll report back again,
Eric P.

I will see about contacting them.  I also have a pretty good idea why 
the plugin gives photos a magenta/red color cast, and am working on 
fixing the issue.  It seems to be related to an arbitrary selection of 
color mapping; most cameras use sRGB, so any other scheme will create 
errors.  I have a lot of information on the topic, but I haven't 
finished going through it, so this might take a while.

Matt
Did you use the checkbox camera white balance and click reload 
preview? It changes the result significuntly (removes the magenta cast 
at my photos from Minolta G500).

The plugin has a problem from my pov - is it doesn't show camera 
settings (WB). It uses it if appropriate checkbox and button are used, 
but don't show as the initial values in the lower sliders: WB and green 
component. I suspect it uses them as origins and the actual color 
temperature is applied as the initial value (not shown) shifted by 
slider position minus 4.75. The same is for the green component. This 
solves the problem by isn't convenient (at least for comparison with 
other RAW converters).

I will see about contacting them.  I also have a pretty good idea why 
the plugin gives photos a magenta/red color cast, and am working on 
fixing the issue.  It seems to be related to an arbitrary selection of 
color mapping; most cameras use sRGB, so any other scheme will create 
errors.  I have a lot of information on the topic, but I haven't 
finished going through it, so this might take a while.

Maybe I was wrong - there is still light magenta cast in my G500 photos. 
I should even say no magenta cast, but luck of blue of the clouds 
(R=GB). Maybe it is correct, but is suspect it isn't.

Basically, it works for me on Win2000 Pro at work w/the static version of your plugin.  I need to try the dynamic one again.  I didn't have dcraw installed at the time I tried the dynamically linked binary (didn't know I needed dcraw installed - maybe add that to your install instructions and where to copy the dcraw binary in Windows?)
Copy dcraw into you GIMP-2.0\bin directory.
2.  It seems your plugin is trying to open any file that Gimp tries to open regardless of extension.
Many cameras have unofficial RAW, e.g. Minolta G500, G400, Casio ... 
The RAW images have *.jpg extension. So the plugin should check the 
image if it is RAW one.
