[Gimp-user] scanning electron microscopy

2006-12-12 Thread dorai iyer

Hi,
I just joined the list. My interest in gimp is as a scanning electron
microscope user. is there any plugin that allows calibration/scaling of the
image pixels to microns or nanaometers. the information i found referred
only to pixels/inches.
Thanks

 Try the unit editor. http://docs.gimp.org/en/gimp-xtns-unit-editor.html

There appears to be a limitation on the unit editor that prevents it from
being used for nanometers.  If you type in the scale factor 2540, (which
is appropriate for nm), the editor chops it down to 2^16.

You probably want to use Gwyddion instead of GIMP. Otherwise, I suggest
that you work on a fixed scale of 1:1,000,000. That's what I usually do
when working with AFM pictures in GIMP. Just use millimeters as if said
nanometers.

[Gimp-user] Bug 119646 – add polygonal selecti on tool

2006-12-12 Thread David Marrs
Continuing the discussion on bugzilla (1) I have a suggestion for a possble
third way.

I remember something being written about vector layers in gimp and found a
reference to it at google.com (2). If there was a tool that enabled one to draw
vectors, they could be stroked, converted to a selection or converted to paths
at the user's will.

Although it's not a quick fix to the problem, it does avoid the possible
complication that comes with modifying the free select tool (for example,
assigning shift to both add-to-selection and draw-straight-line modifiers) or
adding yet another select tool that isn't quite free select and isn't quite
bezier path.

Regards,
David

[Gimp-user] Color temperature modification plugin available!

2006-12-12 Thread Luca de Alfaro

Dear All,

I have just uploaded to the Gimp plug-in repository a plug-in that enables
you to modify the color temperature of a photo.  I can be used to correct
the bluish cast in overcast photos, or even (to some extent) the red cast in
photos taken under incandescent light with the camera set to daylight.
At least for me, the plugin works better than playing around with the levels
and curves menus by hand, in part because the color transformations are done
in the linear (rather than gamma-corrected) color space, and use black-body
color temperature as reference.

Anyway, I had been wishing for a long time for a tool to modify the color
temperature of an image, and now there is one!
http://registry.gimp.org/plugin?id=8730
I hope it can be useful to others! Give it a try, it has extensive help
included.

All the best,

Luca

[Gimp-user] layer grouping

2006-12-12 Thread Anthony Ettinger
Is it possible to group layers in Gimp?

One problem is linking them, would be nice to link groups and move
them independently of each other.

Also, I opened a PSD file which has 50+ layers. some named
/LayerGroup with no content.

 What are the implications? I haven't read about the MS/Novell  GPL 3 thing.
 
 
There was talk of adding a clause to v3 that would help secure free software 
against patent trolls in such a way that if Company A promises not to sue 
Company B for using an infringing algorithm in a GPLed application, that 
promise 
has to extend to every user of that application.

In other words, if MS promise not to sue Novell over Mono, implicit in that 
agreement is the promise not to sue me over Mono, regardless of whether I'm 
running SuSE or something else.

Personally, I'm in favour of GPLv3 anyway. All it's doing is closing loopholes 
that enable distributors to avoid granting me one or more of the freedoms I 
come 
to expect from free software.

Thank you, Luka

The plug-in seems to work! I have only one problem with it now - it 
doesn't define a place to be put in the register procedure.
I added Image/Script-Fu/Enhance/ before the Convert Color Temperature 
and could find it :). I use GIMP 2.3.12 on Windows.

Re: [Gimp-user] Color temperature modification plugin available!

2006-12-12 Thread Luca de Alfaro

This is strange - I defined it so that it goes under Tools/Color Tools for
version 1.2 (It used to be Layer/Colors).  That's where all the other color
manipulation options are... (The script-fu menu seems to be on things other
than color manipulation).

Can you check which version you are running?  Oh btw, I developed this under
Gimp 2.2; I have no idea whether other versions of Gimp have different menu
arrangements, so that the plugin does not find a home.

Let me know...

Luca

Ok, it appears exactly where you said. I simply wasn't able to find it 
there.
