Re: [Gimp-user] PS layer mode read incorectly in Gimp

However that is not at all the point here. at this point a real german would back this up with documentation. i am the stupid american, you are the well-documented german. Read the source. The script is extraordinarily simple. Bascially what it does is to create a duplicate of the image, merge visible layers in the duplicate, copy the result to the clipboard and delete the duplicate. It is thus not surprising that what ends up in the clipboard is identical to the result of merging the visible layers on the original image. i do not have time to go to that archives site to show everyone your rebel anti-perl website stupid frames site. So the Script-Fu megaperls site that I created back in 1997 was a rebel anti-perl website? If I remember correctly all it did was advertizing a couple of scripts that I wrote.

Re: [Gimp-user] [OT] Some other app (was: gimp in one window)
Hi, Mike Meyer [EMAIL PROTECTED] writes: Neither window managers nor applications have any FSCKING business screwing with window depth. If some such change gets made to the GIMP, I certainly hope it's optional. I think you misunderstood what we are talking about here. Of course it is the job of the window manager to deal with the z-order of windows. After all it is a window manager. So if an application gives the window manager the hint that a certain window should be treated special (for example kept above another window or even above all windows of the same application), then the window manager should respect that hint. Of course the user can still configure his/her window manager to ignore those hints or he/she could install a window manager that ignores those hints by default. But it is certainly the window managers business. Some people seem to argue though that the application should try to force a certain behaviour on the window manager. That is definitely not a good idea. The application should give the window manager enough information to do a good job but it should let the window manager manage the windows. BTW, the changes that you refer to have all been made already. Due to the fact that the interpretation of the spec varies between window managers, we have added some preference options to control what hints are set. I would prefer though if the EWMH spec would have a window type that would fit for the GIMP toolbox and dock windows. At the moment there's UTILITY which comes closest. But have a look yourself: http://www.freedesktop.org/standards/wm-spec/wm-spec-1.2.html#id2503768 It may make sense to make the dock windows transient for the toolbox. Would probably be worth a try.

It's documented in the README file, which you read, of course. ;) I don't know how those errors manifest themselves, and I would have expected something more subtle than this, but however... See my other response in this thread. The error that the original poster was seeing when starting up GIMP is completely unrelated to the installation prefix he has choosen. He simply forgot to run ldconfig. You can use the old 2.0 plug-ins by doing something like ln -s /usr/lib/gimp/2.0/plug-ins ~/.gimp-2.1/plug-ins , but then you will not have all the bug-fixes and previews which have gone into the 2.1 series. This won't work with 2.1.4 though since we accidentally broke the wire protocol. It will work again with 2.1.5 (or current CVS). No, this isn't the case. Perhaps you are missing the icon themes, which are an optional but reccommended component for the GIMP? He is missing at least one of the following: - an icon theme that provides the icons - the shared-mime-info package - an entry in ~/.gtkrc-2.0 that tells gtk+ to use the icon theme (for example: gtk-icon-theme-name = gnome) Alternatively upgrading to a recent GTK+-2.4 release would have fixed the problem.

[Gimp-user] keybinding for File-Open Location [was: Gimp 2.1.4 filepicker]
Hi, David Neary [EMAIL PROTECTED] writes: You should perhaps have mentioned that there's also Open Location in the toolbox which offers an entry to paste URLs or filenames to. Ah - I would have if I'd thought of it :) While we are on it. The HIG suggests to use Ctrl-L as the default keybinding for File-Open Location. I would like to follow this suggestion but we already use Ctrl-L to bring up the Layers dialog. Since that's a longstanding keybinding I am somewhat reluctant to changing it. On the other hand it would be good to follow the HIG advice here in order to be more consistent with other apps and also in order to get people used to the otherwise hidden Ctrl-L feature in the File Open dialog. So what do our users think about this? What would be a good alternative keybinding for the Layers dialog? Does it need one at all?

[Gimp-user] ANNOUNCE: GIMP 2.1.5 Development Release
Hi, a new development snapshot of GIMP 2.1 is now available from ftp.gimp.org and it's mirrors: http://gimp.org/downloads/#mirrors This is an unstable development release. It certainly has bugs and there are a number of unfinished hacks. We are nevertheless interested in your feedback and would like you to file bug reports for crashes and non-obvious problems. Please note that you cannot install gimp-2.1 side-by-side with gimp-2.0 into the same prefix. A number of files will clash, so please use a separate prefix to install this development version! For details, please read the file INSTALL. Here's an overview of the changes since 2.1.4 was released: - Ask the user to save the image when closing the last display. - Restored compatibility of the wire protocol that was accidentally broken in 2.1.4. - Added layer and mask actions to allow to create keybindings for them. - Preview widget improvements: * let the preview expand with the plug-in dialog * added a navigation popup similar to the one in the image window * respect the selection and show how it will affect the filter * added API to draw to a GimpDrawablePreview from a GimpPixelRgn - Added preview to more plug-ins: Cartoon, Apply Canvas, Photocopy, Motion Blur, - Ported the Bumpmap plug-in preview to GimpDrawablePreview. - Removed -u linker hacks from all Makefiles.

Re: [Gimp-user] automatic resize of open versus save dialogs: bug?
Hi, olivier ripoll [EMAIL PROTECTED] writes: I am wondering if it is worth opening a bug for this minor UI bug: I have noticed that with 2.1.5 open file dialog (and at least also 2.1.4), the window is resized when the arrow-folding-widget (*) for file type (or is it for advanced options, I do not remember) is clicked/unfolded. This resize is fine. However when the options are folded back, the window does not resize back. On the other hand, the behaviour in the save as dialog is different. When the options are folded, the window resizes back to its original dimension. So I suspect this is not supposed to be this way for the open dialog. This is a GTK+ problem which is not trivial to solve. Only dialogs that are not resizable collapse when the expander is closed. If the dialog is resizable, it will not automatically shrink with the expander. So we have three choices here: (1) Make the dialog not-resizable. This would suck since you couldn't enlarge the dialog any longer to get a larger file list. (2) Do what we've done and live with the dialog not folding back. (3) Do what the GTK+ developers did for the Save dialog and implement a custom resize behaviour for this dialog. This would add a lot of ugly and hard to maintain code. We have decided to go for solution (2). There isn't anything important in the expander anyway. Most GIMP users will never have to use the File Type selection; the automatic file-type detection should almost always work good enough.

Re: [Gimp-user] Re: Text tool
Hi, Michael Wagner [EMAIL PROTECTED] writes: or Yep, these fonts should be perfect. But indeed, 16 pixels is a little or troublesome to have nice text: I have tried with Nimbus and Vera, and or the result is not satisfying... I tried Tahoma and Verdena and the result gets better... The quality of the font becomes more important the smaller you render it. Good fonts have hinting information that improve the rendering at small sizes. If you get poor results for small font sizes, there are a couple of possible reasons: (1) The font sucks. This is very common as there are only few good fonts and almost all of them are expensive. (2) There's no hinting information for the particular font size you are trying to use. Sometimes it helps to make the font slightly larger or slightly smaller. Some fonts only have hints for standard sizes like 10pt, 12pt, 17pt. (3) Your font has hints but your version of the Freetype library doesn't have the TrueType bytecode interpreter enabled. Due to patent problems (see http://www.freetype.org/patents.html), many distributions disable this code in the Freetype library. You won't be able to use the hints embedded into the font then. Recent versions of Freetype have a fairly good auto-hinter but for very small sizes it can hardly compare to hints choosen by the font designer.

Re: [Gimp-user] Text effects in GIMP 2.0
Hi, David McClamrock [EMAIL PROTECTED] writes: In GIMP 1.2 (or even 1.0, with which I started), it was easy to produce a beveled text effect: just insert text, leave it selected, and apply a starburst (spherical), foreground-to-background gradient. Only the text itself was selected, not the box around it. GIMP 1.2 used to create text as a floating selection. A lot of users found this very inconvenient since they prefer text to reside on a dedicated layer. The GIMP 2.0 text tool creates a text layer. This has the advantage that the text stays editable (unless you apply an effect to it) and that you don't need to deal with floating selections which are considered annoying to work with. In GIMP 2.0 (on Mandrakelinux 10.0, from RPM package gimp2_0-2.0.0-2mdk), I'm not finding it obvious how to do the same thing. The selection includes not only the text itself but the surrounding box, and the gradient likewise covers the entire box, which I don't want. You can call Alpha to Selection to create a selection from the text. Are there some settings I can change to make GIMP 2.0 (otherwise a definite improvement over 1.2) work more like GIMP 1.2 in these respects? No, you can't. We could consider to add an option to have the text tool create a floating selection but I am not yet convinced that this would be useful enough to warrant the coding effort and the extra check button in the text tool options.

Re: [Gimp-user] Converting 24 bit to 16 bit
Hi, Karl Fischer [EMAIL PROTECTED] writes: I'm doing a bootsplash images so I need to convert a 24bit image into 16 bit is there a way of doing this There used to be a GIMP plug-in for doing bootsplash images. Not sure if it creates the output the format that you are looking for. Otherwise, if you wanted to write a simple plug-in for this, doing the conversion is simple, just call this for every pixel: #define PIXEL_RGB16(r,g,b) r) 0xF8) 8) | \ (((g) 0xFC) 3) | \ (((b) 0xF8) 3)) This assumes that 16bit means RGB565 (5 bits red, 6 bits green, 5 bits blue), but that's typically what it means.

[Gimp-user] ANNOUNCE: GIMP 2.1.6 Development Release
Hi, a new development snapshot of GIMP 2.1 is now available from ftp.gimp.org and it's mirrors: http://gimp.org/downloads/#mirrors Actually we wanted to have the first pre-release for 2.2 out by now but there are still a couple of minor API and UI changes that need to be done. So this is another development snapshot on the road to GIMP 2.2. Hopefully the next release will be called 2.2-pre1 then. This also means that we need to freeze the UI, translatable strings and the APIs very soon now. So if you have any patches pending, make sure you tell us about it. We will soon have to reject further changes for 2.2. I still hope that we will at least be very close to the 2.2 release by the end of this month. Please note that you cannot install gimp-2.1 side-by-side with gimp-2.0 into the same prefix. A number of files will clash, so please use a separate prefix to install this development version! For details, please read the file INSTALL. Here's an overview of the changes since 2.1.6 was released: Overview of Changes in GIMP 2.1.6 = - Added more drawable previews (Color Exchange, DOG, Deinterlace, Engrave, Oilify, Ripple, Shift). - Added new preview widget that shows a scaled view of the full drawable. Use it for Apply Lens, Blinds, Channel Mixer, Destripe, Emboss, Illusion, Map Color, Max RGB, Plasma, Polar, Solid Noise, Supernova, Whirl and Pinch. - Added Open as Layer functionality to the menus. - Implemented the recent-file-spec for shared storage of a list of recently used files (really URIs). - Cleaned up plug-in procedure handling. Added the possibility to let plug-ins and scripts run using a private GimpContext. - Added multi-line text entries for Script-Fu and Gimp-Python. - Cleaned up PDB API for brushes, gradients, palettes and patterns. Deprecated lots of functions and added saner replacements. Added gimp-context-* PDB namespace with replacements for some of the deprecated stuff. - Let GimpView handle pixbuf previews. Added a (themable) drop shadow to image-file previews. - Cleaned up the dbbrowser and plugindetails code and GUI and factored out common code. Renamed both executables and menu entries. - Made tools cancelable with Escape. - Let GimpDialog add a help button to give easier access to the help pages.

My goal is to avoid scaling (and the quality reduction that may occur), so what I've been doing is using the Use Original Image Size button and verifying that the Scaling is the right number of PPI (in PPI mode, not Percent mode). I have been seeing the blurriness without scaling up to the full size of the page, as would happen if Scaling was really at 100%. I have no idea what is causing your problems then.

Well, I didn't post there because I'm not using the gimp-print drivers. The gimp-print drives don't support my printer, so I'm using the hpijs driver from HP. My assumption was that the print dialog and whatever it generates to send to the drivers is on the gimp application side, rather than on the gimp-print side, which I believe is only drivers. Is this not correct? The plug-in that ships with GIMP has been written by the gimp-print developers and it uses libgimpprint. So you are using the gimp-print drivers. I do not know exactly what the plug-in is doing in case of your setup. The gimp-print folks should know better.

Hi, Simon Budig [EMAIL PROTECTED] writes: (3) It would be nice to see a chapter added to the API reference that deals with changes between GIMP 2.0 and GIMP 2.2 and how to port a plug-in. I am willing to collect the list of changes and such but I'd like to get some help with this. Compile me a list and I'll do it. I also need some advice on where to put this in the devel-docs. I'd like to see something similar to http://developer.gnome.org/doc/API/2.0/gtk/migrating.html. Of course it doesn't need to be as comprehensive. The GTK+ developers also started with a smaller chapter... I am not really sure where to put this since we have a bunch of API manuals. Probably best to put it to the libgimp manual since that's what most plug-in authors will look at and libgimp/libgimpui is using the other libraries. So it could just become a new chapter in http://developer.gimp.org/api/2.0/libgimp/ Now let's try to collect a list of changes. It is probably a good idea to talk about GTK+-2.4 and to point to http://developer.gnome.org/doc/API/2.0/gtk/migrating.html. Then there are a couple of new widgets that we introduced: - GimpIntComboBox replaces the gimp_int_option_menu_new() constructor. - GimpFrame can help to make plug-in dialogs HIG-conform. - GimpColorHexEntry is the fancy color entry used in the color selector. - GimpCellRendererToggle is what we use for example in the Layers dialogs to draw the eye toggle button. - GimpPreviewArea is a GtkPreview replacement that also deals with all image types GIMP knows about and can render a checkerboard to visualize transparency. - GimpPreview is an abstract base class only and is used by the new GimpDrawablePreview and GimpAspectPreview (in libgimpui). Besides the new previews, libgimpui has a couple of other additions: - gimppixbuf.h provides an easy way to get image and drawable thumbnails as GdkPixbufs. - gimimagecombobox.h and gimpdrawablecombobox.h have replacements for the now deprecated functions in gimpmenu.h. - gimpprogress.h deals with the new GimpProgress API, the GimpProgressBar widget hides this complexity from the plug-in author. libgimp has seen an API cleanup as well. Quite a lot of the brush/gradient/pattern/palette functions have been deprecated and new saner APIs have been added. The GimpContext namespace is completely new and gimp_context_push/pop should definitely be mentioned. It is especially useful for script developers. The best way to list all new functions is to grep for the word Since in the .c files. We've marked all new functions with Since: GIMP 2.2. Prototypes of deprecated functions are in GIMP_DISABLE_DEPRECATED guards. It would certainly be nice to explain how to use this define to write clean code that uses only the new APIs. Would probably be good to also mention the --pdb-compat-mode command-line option. That should be more than enough to get you started...

[Gimp-user] help needed with GIMP 2.2
Hi, we are getting closer to the 2.2 release but there's still a lot of things that need to be done. This mail will focus on stuff that should be done for GIMP 2.2 but doesn't need any programming skills. For that reason I am also addressing the gimp-user list here. We are looking for contributions on the following tasks: (1) We will probably want to have a press-release to announce GIMP 2.2. This is a rather large task but it can be split up into a couple of smaller things: - Collect a list of changes since GIMP 2.0. This should focus on user-visible changes. - Collect screenshots of the development version. We can first use those for http://developer.gimp.org/screenshots.html and pick some nice ones for the press release then. - Prepare a list of recipients for the press release. - Actually write it and prepare a HTML and a PDF version of it. (2) Review and complete the API reference manuals. This will probably need some programming skills but some simple proof-reading would already help a lot. We have tried to keep the API reference manuals uptodate during development. We did however often only add stubs. What's missing here is at least some short introductions into all the new sections that have been added. I will try to upload an uptodate snapshot of the docs at http://developer.gimp.org/api/2.0/ later today. It would be very nice if we could find a volunteer who could help us to improve the docs for 2.2. If you are interested, please let me know.

[Gimp-user] ANNOUNCE: GIMP 2.2-pre1 (the Halloween Release)
Hi, we are glad to announce the availability of the first pre-release for GIMP 2.2. More than half a year after GIMP 2.0 saw the light of day, we are now close to finish work on it's successor, GIMP 2.2. You can download a first pre-release from ftp.gimp.org and it's mirrors: http://gimp.org/downloads/#mirrors This preview should have all the features that 2.2.0 will have. However since this code hasn't seen a lot of testing yet there are certainly bugs. If you find any, make sure you report them at bugzilla.gnome.org (after checking that it isn't reported already). The GIMP Wiki has a list of changes from GIMP 2.0 to GIMP 2.2: http://wiki.gimp.org/gimp/WhatsNew2 Please do not install this pre-releae of GIMP 2.2 into the same prefix as GIMP 2.0. It would overwrite most of the GIMP 2.0 installation. To install in parallel to 2.0, please use a different prefix which is not in your default library search path. If you wish to replace GIMP 2.0 with this pre-release, then please remove the GIMP 2.0 installation before installing this software. For detailed installation instructions, see the file INSTALL. The GIMP 2.2 plug-in API is fully backward compatible to GIMP 2.0. Plug-ins for GIMP 2.0 should continue to work and don't need to be recompiled. We do however hope that plug-in authors will update their plug-ins for GIMP 2.2 and adapt the GUI and API changes we did with this version. It might turn out that we have to do some late changes to the newly added API before the final 2.2.0 release, so don't consider the API strictly frozen yet. The API is however guaranteed to be backward compatible (source and binary) with the GIMP 2.0 API. If you find that your 2.0 plug-in breaks when used with the GIMP 2.2 libraries, or if you cannot compile a GIMP 2.0 plug-in against the GIMP 2.2 header files, please report that as a bug. Overview of Changes since GIMP 2.1.7 - Added more plug-in previews (Displace, Color To Alpha, Newsprint) and ported existing previews to the new widgets (Glass Tiles). - Added preview to WMF loader plug-in. - Added Retinex plug-in for color normalization. - Added plug-in to load and save raw image data (_not_ the raw format used by some digital cameras) - Added a GUI to configure controller modules. - Let lots of core dialogs remember their last values and add shortcuts to run with the last values w/o opening the dialog. - Added new PDB API for drawable tranformations. - Register all libgimp enums to allow language bindings such as Script-Fu to access them using GType introspection. - Improved how we attach user-visible strings to enums registered with the type system. Added API to access these strings to libgimpbase. - Cleanups to the new GFig GUI (still work in progress). - HIGification of the ImageMap plug-in. - Cleaned up dialogs code. - Added Auto Whitebalance menu item. - Redid Scale and Resize dialogs. - Added code to migrate user settings from ~/.gimp-2.0. - lots of bug fixes.

Re: [Gimp-user] how to set border to 0 when printing from gimp?
Hi, Nagy Gabor [EMAIL PROTECTED] writes: The result is that it will be printed at 318.5 dpi, with top and bottom borders at 1.27 cm. That's about three times more border than the size CUPS has used. And the problem is that I cannot set it to be lower. I can write smaller numbers in the Position - Top for example, but the original 1,27 will replace my numbers. Why is this? Why does gimp not let me set a smaller margin? Because the PPD file you use specifies the non-printable margin this way. If you want a more detailed answer, you better ask on the gimp-print mailing-list though. These folks develop the print plug-in as well as the underlying infrastructure.

Where's the problem? It appears that your camera is setting a
different print resolution for the different formats. That is somewhat
unusal but since the print resolution is just some meta information I
don't see any problem with that. The only thing that counts here is
the number of pixels your image has.
and I get a error message:
{{{ DSCN0505.TIF: unknown field with tag 34665 (0x8769) encountered }}}
Which isn't an error but just an informative message telling you that
the camera is using some proprietary TIFF tags that GIMP and libtiff
don't recognize. So there might be some information there that is
being lost when you open the file in GIMP and save it again.
And shouldn't the .tiff file be allot bigger than the fine .jpeg file???
Well, isn't it? Looking at the print size doesn't make any sense since
it depends on the print resolution that is being set. Instead, check
out how many pixels there are.

It is certain that gegl will have a floating point pixel mode (it does already), and probably that the GIMP will add an interface to use it, so version 3.0 will have 48 bit floating point RGB, 64 bit floating point RGBA, and may well have 128 bit floating point RGBA. Whether the next GIMP version will be called 3.0 remains to be the seen. If we can remain backward compatible to the 2.0 API we will probably choose 2.4 as the version number. Whether the next GIMP version will be using GEGL also remains to be seen. It strongly depends on whether we have some people who are willing and capable to actively work on porting GIMP over to GEGL.

I wasn't aware that the toolkit we use for the user interface is considered the underlying library. I'd use that term for an image manipulation library such as GEGL.

I know there allot of people whom would like to harness the full power of Gimp. without any flames. Uh? Sorry if we appeared to be flaming but we weren't. I was only curious.

Re: [Gimp-user] sRGB
Hi, Richard [EMAIL PROTECTED] writes: How does one tell Gimp, to use sRGB color profile? when displaying images. ( gimp 2.0 ) The display routine assumes that the sRGB colorspace is being used. If you want to use other color profiles for display, you can do so using the Proof filter found in View-Display Filters. Yes, this is all quite preliminary. Better color management support is scheduled for GIMP 2.4. Sven ___ Gimp-user mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.xcf.berkeley.edu/mailman/listinfo/gimp-user
