Re: [Gimp-user] EXIF Data from RAW files
* Frank Gore g...@projectpontiac.com [01-26-10 00:38]: All that awesome EXIF info in my RAW pictures that I'd like to keep. Does UFraw not pass it along, or does Gimp not collect it? It's REALLY ANNOYING!!! How do others deal with this? I'd love to hear solutions! Then you will be very unhappy to hear that I need no solution as I see virtually all of the exif information in jpegs generated by ufraw/gimp from nef raw files produced by my Nikon D3. The only differencies I notice relate to data specific to the file format and/or location such as different size, embedded jpg, etc. Comparisons made on data extracted with exiftool, exiftool-7.82-2.2 ufraw-0.15-7.1 gimp-2.6.7-4.4 You fail to mention the versions of the binaries you are using to make your statement or who generated those binaries and whether the exif data function was even compiled into your binaries. I went so far as to compare another jpg generated from the same raw file by bibble5pro and it is ~1800 bites smaller than the one from the gimp generated jpg. -- Patrick Shanahan Plainfield, Indiana, USAHOG # US1244711 http://wahoo.no-ip.org Photo Album: http://wahoo.no-ip.org/gallery2 Registered Linux User #207535@ http://counter.li.org ___ Gimp-user mailing list Gimp-user@lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU https://lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU/mailman/listinfo/gimp-user
[Gimp-user] Text looks rough
When I make a web banner that is only text it looks great in GIMP and in my web page maker. When I put it up on the web the text looks rough like someone cut it out with a jig saw.

I currently have Gimp 2.6.8. I've had the same issue with UFraw 0.15 and 0.16. I have exiftool 7.82-2.2. All of these binaries are from openSUSE 11.2. All EXIF data just vanishes when I open a RAW file from my Pentax K-7. But apparently it's not just UFraw/Gimp. Digikam does the same thing on my system, and it uses libraw 0.7.2 for its RAW conversion. I can see all the existing EXIF data in the RAW file by using exiv2, but it just doesn't get carried over when I process the RAW file. If I dump all EXIF, IPTC and XMP data to a text file, it becomes a 315 KB file. This is beyond aggravating.

[Gimp-user] How to enhance low resolution graphic for larger modified image ???
I have a simple JPG (108x170 pixels) that I want to use in a larger, higher resolution image that I'm creating. It is a fairly simple black and white drawing -- actually, a light bulb with several curves and angles and straight lines. Yes, I have expanded it to 1000x1575 pixels. Yes, I've zoomed to 800x, selected non-black pixels and deleted them. What I have now is almost tolerable; but, I'd like to know alternatives, preferably the simplest, most straight forward method to clean up the jagged edges that are visible. I will not use it at 1000x1575; but, I need it considerably more detailed than 108x170. Please, comment and advise.

It is a fairly simple black and white drawing -- actually, a light bulb with several curves and angles and straight lines. This may be missing the point somehow, but if you used some kind of outlining program (followed by a little editing) that creates a vector-based (instead of bitmap based) image, you could then scale to whatever size you want with perfect resolution, and then convert that size to a bitmap format like JPG. If you save the vector version, you can scale-and-save-out to as many sizes as you like. I would open Inkscape, import the graphic, then either do a trace or redraw it. Then delete the image, save as SVG, open in GIMP at desired size. Back in the day I used Adobe Streamline for this kind of task, but I don't know if that even still exists any more. Streamline was for OS 8-9 IIRC, and never got ported to OSX. I use inkscape to do tracing - it works better than the auto-trace feature in Adobe's products anyway (especially on blank-and-white images).

Ah, different learning styles. Please understand that for some people, like me, for example this is exactly the perfect way. For others it wouldn't work at all. My only point is that it's good to realize that there are many learning styles and it's better not to make overarching statements about this will not work, or only this can be done. I agree that learning about design is good, but design books are so fluffy to me! I make myself read them, and I do better work because of it, but one is learning your tools, and the other is learning what might be better done with them.
