[Gimp-user] meetthegimp.org needs help: Mirrors for the video archive
A lot of Open Source is mirrored at Universities and other institutions. I would love to get a home for the old episodes there too and then spread the load with a round robin system. Any ideas how to achieve this? Personally, I'd enforce BitTorrent even more and offer it as default download method (and write the http download smaller). There are also services where you don't have to seed with your own server. For instance, there is Vuze (www.vuze.com) - you can upload the videos there, get a Torrent and they will host it. No ads, no fees. -- Richard H. (via www.gimpusers.com) ___ Gimp-user mailing list Gimp-user@lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU https://lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU/mailman/listinfo/gimp-user

I didn't find anything similar in GIMP filters so maybe there is a plug-in which lets to do it? Surface blur is the filter which I was using in PS4 to automatically blur out of focus areas (it reduces noise much better than other filters for me) and not to blur sharp areas. I liked it because noise reduction filter blurred everything and I wanted to have still sharp image with reduced noise. But now I'm GIMP user. :) Everything is pretty good here, but surface blur is the function I miss. So I would be very grateful if you tell me if it's available in GIMP as plug-in or I simply don't find that function in GIMP. The Selective Gaussian Blur plug-in might be able to provide a similar result ( see http://docs.gimp.org/en/filters-blur.html ). Sven Thanks, it really provides a similar result. However it's more similar to a PS smart blur filter, and surface blur filter provides better result (the difference is that surface blur reduces noise smoother than smart blur or selective blur in GIMP, which (it's about selective or smart blur) simply blurs some pixels so some are left unchanged). Maybe there isn't the same filter available in GIMP, but I hope Selective blur will be a very useful filter for me :) Hi, I recommend you to look at gmic (http://gmic.sourceforge.net/gimp.shtml) It has very good denoising algorithms that you can probably apply on a selection and get a decent results :) Greetings, Peter ___ Gimp-user mailing list Gimp-user@lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU https://lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU/mailman/listinfo/gimp-user

Hi Rolf, A lot of Open Source is mirrored at Universities and other institutions. I would love to get a home for the old episodes there too and then spread the load with a round robin system. Any ideas how to achieve this? Rolf Try the Internet Archive at http://www.archive.org. They freely host many other video podcasts, including some about open source software. When you visit the site, there is a green Upload button on the upper-right part of the page.

[Gimp-user] batch changes
I have folders containing varying numbers of photos or varying sizes. I need to make thumbnails of all photos: all to have a of height 150 pixels, widths will vary, GIMP to scale width to the height. This is time consuming to do one at time. How can GIMP do this in batches? Thank you for you time and assistance.

Re: [Gimp-user] batch changes
In general Imagemagick or even if you prefer a graphical interface Xnview (www.xnview.com) seems more adapt for batch Anyway in this case a Gimp plugin called DBP (David Batch Processor) should solve Date: Sun, 15 Nov 2009 14:38:24 -0500 From: Claudia picsbyclau...@verizon.net Subject: [Gimp-user] batch changes To: gimp-user@lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU Message-ID: 966a947a-0d2d-4524-ae6e-e40ebcfcb...@verizon.net Content-Type: text/plain; charset=US-ASCII; format=flowed; delsp=yes I have folders containing varying numbers of photos or varying sizes.

[Gimp-user] How do I create smooth diagonal lines
Hi all. How do I create smooth diagonal lines ? I've been experimenting with creating various aesthetics for an online portfolio. Here is the result of one such experiment: http://imgur.com/e7iaj I created the shape of the navigation container image with the pen tool. I turned the resulting path into a selection, and then applied various fills, gradients and layer effects. From the outset of that process, the outline of the navigation bar has been somewhat jagged. Is there a way to create the diagonal edges for such an image smoothly? Thanks. -- bob (via www.gimpusers.com) ___ Gimp-user mailing list Gimp-user@lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU https://lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU/mailman/listinfo/gimp-user
