[Gimp-user] commercial use
Hi, can I use the GIMP in my company (as an substitute for Photoshop) for creating newspaper design? The newspaper is not free but daily sold. Does GPL allows it or must I purchase Photoshop?

Apparently, the makeup person used something she shouldn't have, so my wife's face is quite a few shades lighter than the rest of her. I've read some of the manual and looked through a few tutorials, but I'm completely lost. If someone could point me in the right direction (in terms of a tuturioal or section of the manual), it would be a great help. I highly recommend this site http://www.normankoren.com/makingfineprints.html . While not a gimp tutorial it covers the concepts that can be mapped to most of the photo manipulation suites. There are gimp tutorials and books out there to get you gimped up This may be heresy on this list, but as a photographer I need to say it. Unless you intend to do a lot of photo-retouching (and given the importance of these photos), you may want to turn this over to a pro photo house that has people who do this full time. The point is that while it's not hard to get ok results, you'll spend a lot of time learning to get great results. Take a few passes at it, and if you're happy, fine. If not and you don't intend to make a hobby or business out of this, hand it over to a pro. High quality photo retouching is both a craft and an art, and can require the patience of Job. Assuming you had this shot professionally, I'm surprised they didn't suggest this. jim ___ Gimp-user mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.xcf.berkeley.edu/mailman/listinfo/gimp-user
[Gimp-user] curve and level file formats
I'd like to be able to adjust the color curves and/or color levels in one image and then batch process (open-apply-save) a large number of additional images using the same transformation(s). When adjusting the color levels and curves, there is the option of saving (and loading) levels and curves from files. I have two questions: 1. What is the format of the levels file and the curves file? (I'd like to write my own C or Matlab code to read the Gimp level/curve files and compute the associated transformation.) 2. Alternatively, does anyone know of a Gimp script that will do this batch processing for me?

(I'd like to write my own C or Matlab code to read the Gimp level/curve files and compute the associated transformation.) i think the contents of these little saved files would just be the values that you selected in the dialog. did you try to look at them with a text editor? if matlab can accept a value for gamma then i think it should probably be in this little file. 2. Alternatively, does anyone know of a Gimp script that will do this batch processing for me? i used gimp-gap to do this. gimp-gap will work on sequentially named files. you can have a preview look at the tutorial that is officially online when gimp-2.2pre (or whatever) is released: http://carol.gimp.org/gimp/2.1/gap/ http://carol.gimp.org/gimp/2.1/gap/layers/ shows some of the dialogs you will need to look into. an epic/horror story about when i used an earlier combination of this plug-in and some of its supporting software can be seen here: http://carol.gimp.org/gimp/techniques/photographs/movies/ Give GAP a curve is where i did successfully apply the same curve to a bunch of images. There is also the option to script it. some scripting experience is probably helpful for that though. carol ___ Gimp-user mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.xcf.berkeley.edu/mailman/listinfo/gimp-user

Re: [Gimp-user] curve and level file formats
Hi, I had never used a levels file, but the curves file is in plain text (tm). It should be noted that currnetly the GIMP can only save and load smooth curves, and not free curves. At first, I'd say it is easier to write a gimp script to do this job than reimplementing the curves and levels codebases in another program.

[Gimp-user] printing, was: commercial use
Yep, guess he is right, you can use it like that. *However*... Despite being the single BEST open source program I have seen so far (has never crashed on my computer, NEVER!!); I have to addmit gimp is not very good when it comes to printing Well, at least that is my experience, correct me if I'm wrong. I thought I'd fire this up on this thread so that maybe more people would reply. :) How are your printing experiences??? Last time I had to throw a lot of paper away trying to get things right and in the end I wasn't completely satisfied. Apparently using CMYK (meaning: not gimp) enabled software produces better results. Another issue I had was monitor calibration. Window$ (as far as I remember) has lots of tools like that, and I found none for the Linux/Gimp combo. Perhaps you can help me out here! And probably convince Michael to use Gimp instead of wasting $$. :D Thanks a lot, by the way, and this I have to repeat, gimp IS the best software for linux I have found so far, congratulations to all the developers.
