[Gimp-user] Running Gimp 2.4 and older versions of Gimp (2.217)
I have alot of plugins that I use in the older version of The Gimp and do not want to lose them. I was wondering can I have both the new and old version of The Gimp installed on Windows XP without having a conflict. Or do I need to install Gimp 2.4 somewhere else other than C:\Program Files __ Do You Yahoo!? Tired of spam? Yahoo!

[Gimp-user] Can I translate a page of gimp.org?
Hi, list I want to translate the introduce page of gimp 2.4.0 in gimp.org this page, http://gimp.org/release-notes/gimp-2.4.html who does maintain this page? BTW, I want to translate and post on my site, http://gimp.kr my site is not a commercial site. just a tutorial site for gimp. Can I do this?

What can I do for you? Of course, I use Gimp for editing and viewing graphic images.. And now I am sending mail with Mutt instead of Evolution because I am upgrading GNOME to 2.20 version by hard compiling now. That's why now I cannot use a GUI MUA like Evolution. FYI; My current desktop runs GNOME on FreeBSD.

[Gimp-user] colour to black and white
I would like to be able to produce a black and white negative image from an ordinary colour image. The effect I would like to produce would be to imitate what one would get if you took a colour, positive transparency and made a contact print on to either orthographic or lithographic film. Thus, blue would be black and red would be clear and transparent. Have you any suggestions how to approach this using the Gimp, please.

I'm lazy, so desaturating on luminosity works well enough for me. If I wanted to alter the colours, I'd put the image through a colour-map first. For example, I have a shot of an evolutionary sequence which runs from a little ape-like fellow through Magnon to a normal human standing tall, who then picks up a rake starts to bend down again as a result, so on through a jackhammer until he's sitting worshipfully at a computer keyboard. I boosted the blue (Colours, Curves) a fair bit, then desaturated that for a slightly sharper-looking monochrome image. Not sure why artists do this, but the modern-man figures were all Caucasian, boosting the blue up fairly strongly, emphasised the contrast between these fellows everyone else up to Mr Cro-Magnon, inclusive, who all had fairly mid-range colours..

I cannot see a channel labelled as Hue, perhaps I am looking in the wrong place. I am using Gimp 2.4.0-rc3. Would it then be possible to actually have the white areas transparent?

Re: [Gimp-user] colour to black and white
snip Decompose you image to RGB components. In the new image, hide the red and green layers. Add a layermask to the blue layer, initialized to a Grayscale copy of the layer. Fill the blue layer with black. OPTIONAL: Most orthochromatic film would respond to some extent to green, so repeat the last two steps on the green layer, make it visible, and set its opacity to a relatively low value (0-30%). This is very interesting and to a learner like me not too complicated. Perhaps I did not do it quite right but I have what appears to be an overlay of small black and white squares. How do I get rid of that? This method is a bit crude, but should provide something not entirely unsuitable. A more accurate approach would probably entail applying appropriate curves to the different color channels. Crude or not it looks very effective and a good starting point. Thank you.

Re: [Gimp-user] colour to black and white
There should be no white in the resulting image. When you decompose to RGB (Colors-Components-Decompose), you end up with a grayscale image with three layers -- one each for the red, green, and blue components. When you add the layermasks, you are basically making the the black parts of the layers transparent and the white parts opaque. When you fill the layer with black, you convert the opaque parts to black. The end result is a layer consisting of black parts and transparent parts (your lithographic negative). There should be no white in your image. Perhaps you could describe the steps you are taking which produced an overlay of white and black squares?

Re: [Gimp-user] colour to black and white
Oops, I just realized that what you describe may be attributed to the fact that GIMP will display a dark gray/light gray checkerboard to indicate transparent regions. Perhaps you have created your lithograph correctly but misinterpreted this representation of transparency. You might try creating a new white layer and placing it at the bottom of the layerstack to show the regions where your image is transparent. ___ Gimp-user mailing list Gimp-user@lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU https://lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU/mailman/listinfo/gimp-user
Re: [Gimp-user] Pngs, jpgs, tifs, etc.,
(Sorry I just realised I sent this directly to you by accident here is a resend to the list.) You should really do work in "xcf" which is Gimp's native image format. (you can also save a full copy of your work in xcf and go for a walk or something then reload and continue from where you left off). When you have finished the image you can then save it in any image format you want that is supported by the Gimp (and there are many). Probably jpg is the most favoured, png is lossless and supports transparency. Depending on your work you may want to use gif. There are many other's to choose from.Regards Pete-Original Message-From: [EMAIL PROTECTED]Sent: Thu, 25 Oct 2007 00:03:49 -0400To: [EMAIL PROTECTED]Subject: Re: [Gimp-user] Pngs, jpgs, tifs, etc.,this is probably going to sound like a really weird solution to a problem but it has worked for me over the years. i often wander off the beaten path though so that tendency may work for someone else too. if i have an image that isn't working in the computer, i make the best possible print i can of it. then i may go into that print with other (live) media and punch it up that way. then i scan the print into the computer and make a new image from the scan in a file format i like and with a resolution that is better than what i had. then i use the image program to adjust the image until it takes shape as something i want to keep. usually there is a good chunk of the original image which still remains so all has not been lost. i am simply not used to using the native format of the GIMP program. for awhile i used to use the native format for photoshop, which was psd. then i discovered that a whole bunch of other programs i had would not show a thumbnail of a psd. yet they would all show it of a tif. (this was while i was using windows as my OS) so i started using tif and was happy with using it. there is some relief in knowing that every single program you have on your computer will be able to show the image in the tif format. this is also true of the jpg, the png and the gif. carolOn 10/24/07, Chris Mohler [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: On 10/24/07, carol irvin [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: i too have found myself using pngs a lot more than jpgs and for the same reason. the image came in as a jpg though, i went ahead and worked with it as a jpg.however, i too would have preferred tackling it as a png file.my absolute first choice would be a tif but it was given in the problem that a tif was out.
