[Gimp-user] Short book review: GIMP 2.6 Cookbook

2011-06-26 Thread Mikael Ståldal
I recently brought the book GIMP 2.6 Cookbook. When opening the book, I was very disappointed that all the numerous images inside the book was printed in black/white, no color at all except on the cover. I find it outright stupid to print such a book without color. I have other books with

I see that there is an eBook version of this book available. Is that also without color? ___ Gimp-user mailing list Gimp-user@lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU https://lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU/mailman/listinfo/gimp-user

[Gimp-user] UFRaw default settings

2011-07-15 Thread Mikael Ståldal
I'm using the UFRaw plugin to GIMP for importing RAW images. However, if I do any adjustments for a particular image, UFRaw will save that as default when I import the image to GIMP. This is quite annoying, is there a way to turn it off? ___ Gimp-user

[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

I wanted to make a rough metallic surface and I ended up with this by fiddling around with a back-to-white gradient and emboss it. I finally got a clean 200x200 image that alings seamlessy and can be used as a pattern: http://www.staldal.nu/gimp/patterns/metallic.pat (You can make it golden
