[...] Besides the motive, there is another thing that has not been mentioned so far about the splash screens: if you look at the history of previous splash screens (available from http://www.gimp.org/about/splash/), you will see that there is a difference between the splash screens for stable releases and the ones used during the development cycle. - For the development releases, many splash screens were based on photos and had a slightly humorous tone (references to bugs, crashes, etc.) - For stable releases, the images are generated entirely within the GIMP. Those who pay attention to them can try to guess how some filters, gradients, patterns, fonts and so on were used to create the final image. We do not have to follow the same tradition as for the previous stable releases and I think that some of the splash screens based on manipulated photos are very nice. But personally, I prefer the splash screens in which the original photo (if any was used) has been modified in some significant way instead of having simply been inserted into the existing layers. Of course, I don't want to influence the judges... ;) IMHO, IANAJ (I am not a judge), etc. -Raphaël ___ Gimp-user mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.xcf.berkeley.edu/mailman/listinfo/gimp-user

I haven't even looked at the entries yet, but I would strongly agree with both of these suggestions (no (living) people, and substantial use of the GIMP to create the image). -- David Hodson -- this night wounds time ___ Gimp-user mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.xcf.berkeley.edu/mailman/listinfo/gimp-user
[Gimp-user] GIMP splash voting system
Hi all For what it's worth, there's a judging system here: http://www.mukund.org/temp/gimp/judge/ People can see others' choices here: http://www.mukund.org/temp/gimp/judge/chosen.php Try and vote if you like the system. It is not anything official, but it could help. Final results will be issued after a few days of voting. There are contact details on the page if anyone has issues using the system. Remember that the system uses cookies, so if you run a proxy or something which kills cookies, please turn it off in your browser when using this system.

I'm sure someone has done something with GIMP and astrophotography. Thanks, mark... Look for any post processing tips. Most can be done in GIMP. I will say it will be nicer when GIMP supports deeper color depths. One thing that I have read is making multiple exposures with digital cameras and then adding the photos together. I am just about to get into astro photography as well. -- Robin Laing ___ Gimp-user mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.xcf.berkeley.edu/mailman/listinfo/gimp-user
[Gimp-user] Removing spine crease
I have scanned a greyscale image from a book that spans two pages. How can I use the GIMP to remove the page curl in the middle of the image? This Photograph is COPYRIGHTED. I am using it for a high school project, which should fall under fair use.

Robin Laing writes: One thing that I have read is making multiple exposures with digital cameras and then adding the photos together. One common operation is stacking: as you add layer N to the image, make the layer mask's transparency be 1/N. So the first layer is the background at 100%, the next layer goes in at 50%, the next at 33%, etc. This enhances the contrast of a bunch of short exposures without enhancing the noise much; it apparently also sharpens lunar/planetary images, by reducing the effect of temporary bad seeing in one part of the image. I don't know of a gimp plugin to do stacking, but it would be fairly trivial to write. (I'm not really an astrophotographer myself and have never stacked more than four images, so I didn't look very hard for a plugin, nor bothered to write one.) Of course, you have to make sure all the images are accurately aligned (easy if you have pinpoint stars, not so easy if you're shooting something with soft edges like Jupiter). 2.2's transform tool previews should make this important part a LOT easier. It would be a bit easier still if there were a way to alternate between rotation (transform tool) and translation (the move tool) while previewing without having to actually do the rotation (there's presumably a quality loss every time you free-rotate an image) but the only way I've found is to remember the rotation amount in the transform tool, cancel, select the move tool, move the layer, then transform again and type in the rotation where you left off. That comes up a lot with panoramas, too. Anyone know a better way to combine rotation and translation? Though with a real astrophotography CCD and a rock solid mount you may not need any rotation/translation. ...Akkana ___ Gimp-user mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.xcf.berkeley.edu/mailman/listinfo/gimp-user
