I am used to creating png images with transparent pixels/area that I can safely (safe = even work with the worst browser that people call IE) use on the web, the trick is to convert image with transparency to indexed color with less then 256 colors, save the png image. Now another challenge: I use very bright background color on the web for most png-pixel-transparent images, these images look very bad if they are put on dark background. And for one situation I am in now I have to make these images display fine on viewers that do not support transparency, e.g. xview. If I select the transparent area, clear it to the color I want, then clear it to transparency, and save with 'save background color' ON and 'save color values from transparent pixels' OFF, then xview uses that color correctly. ___ Gimp-user mailing list Gimp-user@lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU https://lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU/mailman/listinfo/gimp-user the trick is to have the image saved always with full alpha and transparency (AND in xcf format). Then all you have to do is to have one layer with foreground (for example an icon or a button) and another layer under it filled with background color. Make sure that your foreground is well adapted to any background color. Then when you want to save your final image you save it in another file and perform the indexing operation and give it a transparent color. -- LEGENY Jozef ___ Gimp-user mailing list Gimp-user@lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU https://lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU/mailman/listinfo/gimp-user
Re: [Gimp-user] plugins for photographers
Hello, Luka I wasn't able to find this mode, sorry :(. I set foreground color to the current color of some part of an image, the background color to the desired color, set the mode from foreground color but it did not help - the color to be changed appeared grey, not background color. I'll try to express the idea. We have some object of the scene of the known color. It is not grey, but it has known color. So I want to adjust the WB to match the actual color of the object with its known color (make them equal). The practical example follows. My father's room is lighted with halogen lamps, and the light is rather strong. So if I take photos in this room, the resulting light is a combination of flash and external light. And the ratio between these lights differs from shot to shot, so there are no permanent WB settings. And it's really impossible to add grey card to each shot :) at the party. But if the correct color can be once found of some cloths or wall these data may be used when processing further images. Luca de Alfaro wrote: Alexander, yes, I was also very much missing methods for adjusting the white balance of an image. I wonder if you know, but the grey-point plugin has a mode in which it converts from a color A (foreground, which you can specify with the eyedropper) to color B (background, which you can specify with the eyedropper or with by choosing the color). -- With respect Alexander Rabtchevich ___ Gimp-user mailing list Gimp-user@lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU https://lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU/mailman/listinfo/gimp-user
Re: [Gimp-user] plugins for photographers
On 12/13/06, Luca de Alfaro [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Ok, I made two plugins (available from the repository): - colortemp: converts the color temperature of an image. You can specify the source temperature in K, or as the temperatue at which a black-body color best matches the selected foreground color. - whitebalance: converts the foreground color to either neutral gray, or to a specified background color. This is similar to grey-point, the difference being that the color transformation can be performed in the linear, rather than in the gamma-corrected, color space, and so may work better for removing color casts. Another plug-in to do combined adjustments of whitebalance, levels and saturation can be found at http://pippin.gimp.org/plug-ins/color_correct/ I haven't touched the code of the plug-in in a long time, and the user interface have a few rough edges, but it provides live preview in the image, as well as the ability to do an initial automatic whitebalance / white balance based on a picked neutral grey, as well as adjusting the blackpoint. /Øyvind K. -- «The future is already here.

Re: [Gimp-user] plugins for photographers
I usually use noise reduction with a grain of salt. As I understand, GREYCstoration differs in its approach from most of other filters: it tries to predict some edges in initial picture, not to simply blur it. http://www.haypocalc.com/wiki/GREYCstoration_en I usually decrease the amount of noise reduction the plug-in provides as default. Also if only some important details suffer from visible noise they can be selected and GREYCstoration then applies to the selection only. It takes much less time and memory. Concerning its development it seems it does not take place now :(. The latest version I ever seen is greycstoration-0.2.4-a.tgz . I do not remember where I've got it from. Fabrizio Lippolis wrote: Alexander Rabtchevich ha scritto: 4. GREYCstoration - for noise reduction. Yesterday I have tried this one and dcam noise 2. Well, GREYCstoration seems rather slow to me, it takes really long time to complete and at the end I didn't see any improvement to the image (maybe the parameters where not set the right way). The second is much faster though in the first tries the result contained very blurred areas where the noise is particularly strong. Anyway playing with the parameters I could obtain still good details containing the noise and the result is very similar to what I obtained applying the gaussian blur. Being slower I assume GREYCstoration performs much more complex calculation, do you think it offers a better algorithm than the other plugins around? On the other hand it looks it is not mantained very actively, or am I wrong?

[Gimp-user] Can Gimp start with something less dangerous than a brush, please?
I often open photos to do color balancing, etc, and I am annoyed that Gimp selects, as the first tool, something as dangerous as a brush. An errant click of the mouse, and splat! - a black dot on my photo. Sure, I can undo it - *if* I realize that I did it (with many windows open, an errant click does occur). However, I think it would be better if Gimp started with something innocuous, such as a selection tool (as Photoshop does), or the color picker. Is there some way to reconfigure it? Thanks!
