[Gimp-user] install Gimp help

2008-08-20 Thread J.W.J. Geenen

Hi,


here is my
path: /Applications/Gimp-2.4.6/Gimp.app/Contents/Resources/Share/ 
gimp/2.0/

There is no help folder in 2.0. I made such a help folder and then a
moved the two help files into this folder.



The two help files? For context-sensitive help you need the HTML version
of the manual. This package has several hundred files.





I have downloaded The Gimp user manual but that is not what I needed.
I have several questions to this object.
Q1. what is the exact name and url that I must install
Q2. where are the files of the Gimp user manual located in the Gimp  
application

Q3. why do I not see the help folders which I made by hand

I searched and found a gimp-help-2.4.0.tar.bz2 version. Is that what  
I needed?

Re: [Gimp-user] N00b question: why is Photocopy filter not showing up in Gimp2.0 on Mac/Leopard/fink?

 pythia:barrie$ /sw/bin/gimp-2.0 -v
 GIMP version 2.0.6

There seem to be 2.4.5 packages:
http://pdb.finkproject.org/pdb/package.php/gimp2

Don't know which of them is Leopard (please use the version numbers instead of 
the code names), though.


HTH,
Michael

[Gimp-user] embedded color message

2008-08-20 Thread Helen
The image dsc_0043.jpg has an embedded color profile.
sRGB.
convert the image to the RGB working space?


What does this mean?  What did I do to cause it?
Is it something important that I need to deal with?

You didn't cause it.  The tool used to create the image caused it, such
as a camera or scanner.

The message means that the image file has some information in it that
describes the device that it came from.  By converting it to GIMPs
working color space you can accurately see what the image colors look
like as it was recorded by that device.  This assumes you have a monitor
profile correctly set for your monitor, however.

In general, if you don't know about color profiles you can just say
yes to convert it and then forget about it.   Profiles are only
relevant to those who are keenly interested in exact color reproduction
between an input device (camera, scanner, etc.) and an output device
(monitor, printer, etc.).  The average person at home probably won't
notice much or probably care that much if the colors are a little off.

If you want to learn more about color profiles you can start with the
Color Management section of the Preferences dialog.  Profiles are a way
of making sure the color reproduction is accurate from the device that
acquires the image to the tool that edits the image to the device that
outputs the image. The accuracy suffers without color profiles because
color is a function of heat (I'm simplifying greatly here) and you have
to understand the devices that input or output the image to make sure
they are doing it the same way.

I'm actually writing an article about this topic (and printing in
general with Linux and GIMP) for Linux Format magazine at the moment for
issue 112 (not sure when that comes out).  Linux Format is a UK magazine
and the US gets copies a couple months after they print in the UK.

Hope that helps.

 Well I have deinstalled 2.5.2 and gone back to 2.4.5.

That was a good thing to do. Since you don't have a clue about compiling
software from source and repeatedly managed to break your installation,
you better stick with the pre-compiled binaries. GIMP 2.6 will come to
your distribution soon enough.
