Re: [Gimp-user] Why is 16/32bpp taking so long?

Some points: * These are not forums. This is a mailing list. Accessing it through the unofficial gimpusers.com 'forum interface' doesn't change that fact. * The official GIMP site has problems, mainly to do with lacking a maintainer. It tends to be only updated on releases and other major events

Aha, I misread the GIMP 2.8 announcements. I guess I thought GEGL was inherently high bit depth. So, several years then is fairly accurate? Oh well. I neglected in my opening post to THANK the devs for their hard work. GIMP is a great app. Keep up the hard work. I'm no programmer, not even

[Gimp-user] Scheme to python-fu

2011-07-21 Thread John Culleton
I am interested in rewriting some of the logo scripts in Python. I feel that an investment in learning Python will be more productive than trying to learn Scheme. I have two questions: 1. Is there a stash somewhere of python scripts for Gimp? The few that come with the distro help one to

[Gimp-user] Noise reduction

2011-07-21 Thread Mikael Ståldal
Is there any better noise reduction filter for GIMP than the built in Wavelet Denoise? It does remove the noise, but also make the image a bit blurry. Wavelet Denoise in ufraw has the same problem. I know it is possible to do it better since my new camera, Canon PowerShot S95, does it better
