Re: [Gimp-user] Problem downsizing Tiff's
Carusoswi forums at gimpusers.com writes: So, I have used Gimp to downsize large architectural drawing images from Tiff's to jpgs. Let's be precise. You are not downsizing the images. Downsize means making a picture physically smaller, as in, having less pixels. According to your own description, you are not doing this. What you are doing is saving the file in another format which has better compression. Today, the source tiff which is 900 mb in size is being converted to jpg which is 6 or 7 mb in size, totally unusable. Additionally, if I simply open the source in Gimp, save it to another directory from Gimp without making any changes, the file also grows to 6 or 7 mb. Now I'm completely confused. You say the original is 900MB. then you say it grows to 6-7MB. But 900 is much larger than 6 or 7! Please explain. Did you by any chance mean 900KB and not MB? that would explain it. What I really cannot understand is why Gimp is causing unaltered files to grow in size when saving them. Is that normal? The TIFF format has many options, including several compression modes, and also an uncompressed mode. So, assuming you meant 900KB: You probably opened a compressed TIFF, and then when you saved the file, GIMP saved it as an uncompressed one. If the file has a lot of empty space - as in, a large empty area of white (or other) color - it will compress dramatically. When you re-save the TIFF, a dialog should open after you set the file name and folder. Choose LZW instead of none and see if that solves the TIFF re-saving issue. Also, because of the differences in compression types, some images that compress very well in TIFF's type of compression, compress very badly in JPG-type compression. The type of images that do this are images which have lots of very thin lines, in other words: blueprints. I don't have a good solution for saving this type of file in JPG. It really depends on why you want to re-save the file to JPG in the first place. ___ Gimp-user mailing list Gimp-user@lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU https://lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU/mailman/listinfo/gimp-user

Re: [Gimp-user] Questions about EXIF data (Windows version)
Von: perkin-warbeck for...@gimpusers.com I'm sending tiff files to GIMP (version 2.6.7 for Windows) from a raw converter. The tiff files contain a lot of EXIF data such as Fnumber, FocalLength, ExposureTime, ISO. and so-on. When I save as jpeg from GIMP, most of the EXIF data is discarded. In the Save as JPEG dialog, the checkbox Save EXIF data (under Advaned Options is unchecked. It is grayed out so I cannot check it. The Exif data is discarded when opening the TIFF files. So far, only the JPEG plug-in reads and saves Exif data from and to image files. Here are my questions: (1) Is the Windows version of GIMP packaged with libexif? Yes. (2) If not, is there a workaround? A workaround is to use a different tool - e.g. exiftool - to extract the Exif data from the original files and add it back to the resulting files. A fix would be to add Exif support to more file format plug-ins (e.g. TIFF, PNG and possibly others). Regards, Michael -- Schon gehört?

[Gimp-user] 2.6.10: data loss/corruption on remote filesystems
Hi, i'm using Gimp 2.6.10 on Ubuntu 10.10. When I save a Gimp file on my network share (Samba via gnome-vfs) it works, but when I save it a second time and reopen the file again, everything is lost - i just see an empty (transparent) canvas. There is no error message. It looks like I can avoid that problem, if I would save every change with Save as ... as a new file - which is not a feasible way in practice. I could not reproduce the problem by saving a Gimp file to my local harddisc. So I've tested to save a file to a SFTP/SSH-remote drive (also via gnome-vfs). In that case - when I reopen the file - Gimp gives an error message, that the file is damaged and cannot be opened. Until now, there have been no problems with other applications saving data via gnome-vfs and the latest Ubuntu updates are also applied to my system. Has someone recognized similar problems? What can I do to localize the problem further? Any hints? Thanks, Michael... ___ Gimp-user mailing list Gimp-user@lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU https://lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU/mailman/listinfo/gimp-user

Some make copies of images and organise them in a predefined unalterable manner (e.g. date taken). This causes loss of originals and messy photo collections. The system being proposed would allow the user to modify images in any folder, and allow any modified image to be reverted back to its original unmodified version.

The connected platforms, except with boxes rather than humanoid shapes on them. And 10 platforms, not 6...and maybe hexagons... GIMP can do this. Depends on your skill level, but it isn't particularly hard. The people would be the hardest. I'd start with a stock image of people to make the project easier. Check with BigStockPhoto.com - I saw something like them once before there. I'll sketch the process for a project like this, but this won't be an exact step by step process. The platforms under the people should be made first. Draw your shape with the path tool and save. Convert path to selection and apply a perspective transform to the selection, then color/stroke accordingly. Should only have to do this once but to get proper perspective you may have to make each platform one at a time. These platforms look fairly uniform, however. Same process should work for other shaped platforms. The connecting lines are similar. Draw box paths and save. For each box: outline, fill with gray, duplicate, fill dup with white and offset a few pixels. Save as XCF. Merge box layers (no background), copy into main project image and apply perspective and other transforms. Might have to flip some of them as the shadows are on different sides for some. If you find a 2D drawing of a person like those in this image then apply drop shadows with no or little blur and offset only a pixel or two. Do this with both white and black shadows. This can be used to simulate some depth to the people. You'll need to use some layer masks on the shadows to get it to look right, probably. If you use boxes instead of people you can draw those manually in GIMP with paths too. Similar process as creating the platforms. That's basically it. It may be a bit harder than I'm describing but probably not much. Again, depends on your familiarity with GIMP. -- Michael J.

Have you ever seen the colors of a file in Adobe RGB that's incorrectly interpreted as sRGB? They're flat and dull, bland, lifeless. I lose a bunch of contrast and saturation. Possibly, but then you don't provide a display color profile so maybe it's your display that's washed out, not the image. What may happen is that the Adobe RGB-sRGB happens just fine but what you *SEE* is the sRGB, not what the image should be when mapped to the color profile of the monitor. Again, I'm mostly talking out my be-hind here. I've done some articles on the color management stuff so I've played with it and I have both monitor and print profiles set up. But I'm not completely sure where the conversions happen on the file open and display pipeline. Oh I can assign the right color profile and it fixes it right away, no conversion necessary. But how do I know which color profile to assign? What if the original was SUPPOSED to look bland and lifeless? What if I'm messing up the colors by assigning an Adobe RGB profile where I was supposed to leave it as sRGB? That tends to mess up the colors the other way, adding contrast and saturation where there should be less. Again, this seems to me to point to an incorrect monitor color profile. In any case, like I mentioned in my original post, I specifically have it set to Ask what to do in the Preferences, and it doesn't ask. Like I said, this could be because there is nothing to ask about. The file is opened by converting from its original color space to the working space and then displayed that way. The asking may only happen when you want to convert from the original color space to your display color space (which could be your monitor profile or a print profile, for example) before conversion to sRGB for working.

To my knowledge (which is limited on the subject) Photoshop does not work in CMYK mode either - it just maps (on the fly) CMYK to sRGB (or similar color model) so it appears to be working in CMYK. GIMP doesn't do that (at least not yet).

I am a serious non-professional photographer who carefully tracks pro equipment and technology. Film was approximately the same resolution and quality when the Canon D60 came out. The largest book in the world has 6ft by 4ft prints made both from Fuji Velvia and also the Canon D60. They are on par. Since then resolution for digital has far surpassed film.

Not sure it matters unless you happen to run a lot of other applications at the same time. GIMP doesn't (to my knowledge) parallelize operations on multiple cores. So the kernel gets to decide which core to run on and GIMP only runs on one core at a time (though it can get swapped around during the life of the process). The others get assigned to other processes. Not sure if the gcc compiler provides options for parallelizing operations, which would probably be the only way GIMP would use more than one core at a time. If this is accurate then you *might* actually better off with the faster dual core if you don't run alot of other applications at the same time as GIMP. But the processor probably isn't your bottleneck. What will matter more is lots of really fast memory. GIMP is memory hungry. Having lots of it that is very fast will improve the perceived user experience, especially with very large images that have many layers. Quad-cores tend to support the newer, faster memory better. Dual-cores are typically considered slightly lower end processors for the chip makers and so tend to be paired with slower memory, though that's not a hard and fast rule.

[Gimp-user] Scaling and resolution
Hello all, I experimented with the resolution settings in the gimp -- scale image menu. The resolution does not seem to have any effect on the rendering of the image on a computer screen. It has no effect on file size either. I checked this by scaling and saving the same image in 3 different resolutions (but no other changes): 72dpi, 300dpi, 600dpi. When opening them again all were rendered at the same size on the screen. I concluded that the dpi setting is only used by printers. Is this correct? -- Michael J. M.

The eraser is at Circle (05) which is a square, at the scale of 1.00 I have tried using SelectSharpen I assume you're trying to apply transparency directly to the layer content. Don't do that. Make your texture in an image layer and then apply transparency through the use of a layer mask. White areas in the mask will have no transparency when you save the file. The areas outside of my selections and erasing are being affected, so that in-game the special effects are applied to areas I don't want them to be. Does the game operate on alpha channels values 0 or does it operate if sees *any* alpha channel? If the latter, then you have to make separate textures for the areas that will and won't be affected by game play. If the former then the layer masks should work for you. I have looked in the alpha channel, and there appears to be no actual transparency in those areas, it seems to be solid black. You know, after all these years I can't remember if 0 is transparent or 255 is transparent in the alpha channel. I thought 255 was fully opaque. But my brain is full. I think that bit of info slipped out on the last refill of the tank. Also, I would like to know how to copy the exact alpha channel from one image to another image, without the original alpha channel being changed. If you use a layer mask you can make a selection of the mask, add a new mask to the other image and then copy in the old mask over the new mask. -- Michael J.

His Artist's guide from 1999 was recently updated Sort of - the Artist's Guide to GIMP Effects is the 2nd in that series. The original was never updated. I decided there were plenty of reference guides and the world didn't need another one. The new book is more tutorial oriented. and is one of my favorite two books on GIMP. It covers a lot about using GIMP for the web so I don't know if he has any plans to update this book. That book didn't sell very well. In fact, it never made enough to pay me more than the relatively small advance I got for it. So there wasn't much of a market for it to be updated. Prentice Hall has not asked for an update, at least. Personally, I don't think graphics texts for tools like GIMP do well unless printed on glossy paper so the images have a bigger impact on the audience. Akkana's and Cary's texts are the exception, it would seem. :-) I've been trying to update the GIMP Effects book for 2.6 (it's for 2.4 or maybe 2.2 - I can't remember now) but it's just hard to find the time. It shouldn't matter that much, however. I wrote the GIMP Effects book on the idea that the location of menu items doesn't matter so much as knowing what those features *DO* and I focused on core features: Levels, Curves, Layers, etc. I purposely tried to avoid filters that might change with the next release since many filters are just convenience options for using one or more of the core features. The idea is to teach a little about what you're doing to the pixels. Where the tools are in menus won't matter if you don't know what to do with them. So the update would just be to point to the new locations of menus, etc. Unfortunately there is a lot of stuff that is reference material in there that needs to be updated too. If you're interested, I write a monthly GIMP column in Linux Format magazine. You can see some of the final images for those tutorials in my LXF gallery (http://www.graphics-muse.org/wp/?page_id=126). The magazine is printed in the UK so US readers will be about a month behind on the newsstand.

Create a white layer mask initially. Make your selection in the image window (make sure the layer mask is active in the Layers dialog by clicking on the mask thumbnail). Reset the FG/BG colors by typing D in the image window (resets to default colors). Then drag the foreground color (black) into the selection. That adds black to the selected area in the layer mask. The black area is the area that will be transparent in your saved image. If the selection is not feathered then the edge of the selection should (I believe) not be anti-aliased and should either be completely transparent or completely opaque. However, the left-most column of the square selection was not completely transparent in-game. It might just be something wrong with the game, because I looked at the color values of the area I wanted to make completely transparent and they are all 0,0,0. Might be a bug in the game. Expand your selection by 1 pixel and do it again. Also, I'm using .tga files. Maybe RLE compression has something to do with this, but I always have it unchecked. No idea.

[Gimp-user] Problem porting 1.x-Perl script to 2.x
Hello,
I'm trying to use a Perl script that makes use of Perl's Gimp module (the
simplified version Gimp::Fu) for Gimp Gimp versions 2.x. (I have GIMP 2.6.2
under OpenSUSE 11.2).
Whenever I try to execute the script from the Filters Perl-Fu menu option I
get error messages like:
Calling error for procedure 'gimp-procedural-db-proc-info':
Procedure 'gimp-gimp-image-new' not found.
The funny thing is that my procedures are correctly called in the script
('gimp-image-new', 'gimp-layer-new' ...), but somehow a 'gimp' is prepended
here.
Have you seen this before? How can I solve the problem?
Thanks in advance for your help,
Michael

[Gimp-user] [GSoC] Number of SoC projects and project status
Hi, I've received a few mails from students asking about the status of their applications, and whether the lack of public comments does indicate if they have been rejected or are ineligible. I'd like to reply as follows: Number of projects -- Currently, GIMP has been given five slots for students projects by Google. Six of our mentors have found suitable projects among the proposals, and thus I have asked Google for an additional slot. All available slots have been distributed, however, so getting an additional one does depend on other orgs donating slots back - and Google's preference is to rather give organizations with less than five slots additional ones. Assume that we get five slots and have selected five projects out of 43. Status of applications -- We didn't add many public comments to any proposal. The existence or lack of public comments does not tell anything about the status, unless one of the comments does mention it explicitly. All applications have been reviewed. Yesterday, Martin has posted our current favorites. We are currently waiting for the duplicate resolution meeting tomorrow on April 15 (this is where students applied to more than one organizations do get assigned to one of them). After that, our favorites list should be mostly final. Google will announce the official list of accepted students on April 20. Until then, nothing is really fixed. We've only had very few applications (6 out of 49) that were ineligible - some because they did not contain anything we asked for in our application template, and some because their topic was totally out of our scope.

Hi, Leslie Hawthorn just posted the almost final slot allocations (only going to change if some orgs to donate slots back at last minute). I've asked for another slot, but I'm not too confident that anything will change. So let's works on the assumption that we do get the five slots that are listed there. We need five definite favorites (Martin has started to adjust their score) - please agree on only one of the SIOX projects. We do also need a few runner-ups in case of possible conflicts with other orgs. The rankings have to be done before April 15.

The gimprc file suggests the global /etc/gimp/2.0/gimprc has options you can override. One of these is snap-distance. Setting it to 0 might simulate removing snap to grid though it may not turn it off. You might also try -1, which is often used to disable an integer value that can start at 0. I've not tried this since I don't need it. You'll just have to experiment. I don't believe there is any configurable data saved for the Image-Canvas Size dialog, which means you wouldn't be able to set this in an rc file. I could be wrong, however. -- Michael J.

To test this on my rather cheap Canon LIDE20 I scanned a picture which is 5 inches square saved the file, opened the file in GIMP, cropped so that only the picture was there and GIMP said it was 729 pixels X 729 pixels. 729/5 = ~145 ppi. Assuming you're reading the size of the image correctly in GIMP, it appears your scan wasn't at that much higher resolution. Note that scanners convert reflected light (analog signals) into pixels (digital signals) and can do this by varying the range of sampling of the light. Sometimes the higher resolution they advertise is actually a function of their software and not of their hardware. Their hardware may not be able to sample at those higher rates. In that case, and if you aren't using their software, you probably won't get the higher ppi resolution. If you are using their software to scan (I haven't read this whole thread but in this case it would mean you're using Windows) then try opening the image in another program and see if it will tell you the pixel size of the image. If you get two programs telling you that the image is 729x729 pixels, then your scanner/scanning software isn't doing what it says its doing.

[Gimp-user] [GSoC] About 4 days till student application deadline
Hi, there are still a few days left until Friday May 3, 19:00 UTC. At that time, the SoC web application will switch student applications to read-only and new applications can't be submitted anymore. This means that: Students: - If you didn't submit your application yet, please do so now. Otherwise all the applications that are already submitted might get a head-start. BTW, a useful suggestion has come up on the #gsoc IRC channel (on Freenode) today: while editing your applications won't be possible after the deadline, the basic functionality of the web application will continue to work. This includes creating documents. If you create one for each of your applications and reference it there, you'll have a convenient way to add and edit information after the deadline. Remember: deadline is May 3, 19:00 UTC Mentors: Please browse the applications that are currently available and comment on them - either public (this makes application editable for the students) or in private if you'd like to request the opinion of other mentors. Would-be mentors people interested in ranking applications: - Sign up and apply as mentors to GIMP. If you think that I might not be able to recognize your name there, then please post on the gimp-developer list first (I've already rejected two mentor applications because no one was able to identify the people what did try to sign up). If you do mention some possible mentors in either the ideas wiki page or mails, then please make sure that they do know about this. Either get them to sign up or provide me with their mail address, so that I'm able to contact them. I've seen at least two names that aren't appearing on the signed up mentors yet. If you want to help with the application ranking, then sign up as well - no one force you to mentor.

If signing in does seem to fail, then try to reload the page, or go to the Report bugs link and then back and do a reload. This seems to work for me.
