Re: [Gimp-user] Nasty website bundles GIMP with Adware/Spyware

The website looks like it's official, and they even tell you about all the adware it will install, they also claim that GIMP is advertiser supported which is why they can offer it for free, but is this legal? Can something be done? Perhaps sites like this would be less attractive if the GIMP team would provide an official binaries for Windows and Mac: The GIMP team doesn't provide official Mac binaries.

[Gimp-user] Rough metallic surface
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 by colorify with yellow.) Are there any other strateiges for making a rough metallic surface?

If I change the Wacom input device config (Edit Pref) from stylus disabled to stylus screen, then the stylus uses pressure and size and opacity (via brush dynamics) nicely. Well, sort of. The stylus becomes less responsive, for some reason. For example, if I draw a series of consecutive lines, every third or fourth one will not appear, as if the stylus has stopped working or something.

[Gimp-user] Noise reduction
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 when saving to JPEG. But the camera doesn't do noise reduction when saving to RAW. ___ Gimp-user mailing list Gimp-user@lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU https://lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU/mailman/listinfo/gimp-user
[Gimp-user] UFRaw default settings

I haven't used UFRaw in a while, but I remember that that option and some others were available only if you start UFRaw as a standalone application, not as a GIMP plug-in. So as a workaround you can run UFRaw separately and save the photos as PNGs to open in GIMP. Yes, now I found it. Actually, once it is set there, it works as I want it in the GIMP plugin as well. Nice. Luckily Darktable exists now so one doesn't have to bother with UFRaw on Linux anymore.

[Gimp-user] Short book review: GIMP 2.6 Cookbook
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 full color which wasn't significally more expensive (such as Beginning GIMP).
