I tried this and it didn't work. Do you make the text layer with the copyright invisible by hiding the layer (clicking the eye in the layers dialog) or by reducing the opacity to 0? When I tried this, the copyright didn't appear at all. Peace... Tom ___ Gimp-user mailing list Gimp-user@lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU https://lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU/mailman/listinfo/gimp-user

[Gimp-user] Help needed looking for a plug-in
Hi! Sometime last year, I used a Gimp 2.6 plugin which took an image and put vertical photo sprockets on the left and right sides of the image, with the text "1A" printed on it. This plugin was similar to the "filmstrip" plugin except the filmstrip plugin puts the photo sprockets on the top and bottom of the image, not on the left and right sides. I've been looking for this plugin but I don't see it in my Gimp 2.6 installation anymore. Any ideas on which plugin I'm trying to describe? Again, it functions similar to the "filmstrip" plugin but it applies to only ONE image and puts the sprockets (the holes in the black edges of the photo, like a full color negative) on the left and right sides of the image. Thanks! Peace... Tom ___ Gimp-user mailing list Gimp-user@lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU https://lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU/mailman/listinfo/gimp-user

[Gimp-user] How Lighten Shadow Details In a Selected Area?
What went wrong with the below photo when I tried to increase the brightness on the the darkest portions of the below photo? And what is a good way to selectively lighten the dark shadow areas of a photo? What I did 1. Created a 16bit tiff from a Canon CR2 RAW 2. Opened the photo in GIMP. 3. Made a new layer 4. Selected a dark part with the color selection tool which selected all the darkest parts of the photo as can be seen below. 5. Opened Colors/Brightness-Contrast 6. Increased the Brightness which yielded the below disastrous results. The selected parts just turned solid gray. http://www.flickr.com/photos/tombrooklyn/4173460922/sizes/o/ -- Tom (via www.gimpusers.com) ___ Gimp-user mailing list Gimp-user@lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU https://lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU/mailman/listinfo/gimp-user

[Gimp-user] PSD or XCF?
I've recently started manipulating layers with Gimp 2.4, (on Windows) and it order to be more standards-compliant, I have been saving my images as PSD files . In general, this has worked pretty well for me, except that the Gimp crashes a couple of times an hour. The operations that cause the Gimp to crash are pretty simple, and usually cannot be reproduced. Is this flakiness the result of using the Gimp on Windows or the result of using PSD files instead of XCF files? Thanks in advance!

I believe the Gimp build process uses pkg-config to "sniff out" the various versions of the support libraries it needs. You just might need the PyGTK development packages installed if your pkg-config installation is good. Peace...

Im going to go nuts - i do not understand the gimp work flow with selections. When I paste an element on to a layer, i can no access the area of the layer not covered by the element. In on specific example, I moved the contents of a layer slightly to the right. This left a small column of transparency on the left edge. I have tried to select this are to fill or brush but using several different selection tools, but it appears that the element is currently selected and I can not deselect it.

Re: [Gimp-user] 2.3.14 compile - dbus error
Yep, I hit that as well. I'm running Ubuntu 6.10 (Edgy Eft) and I "solved" that problem by upgrading dbus to version 1.0.2. That allowed me to compile Gimp 2.3.14 but it basically broke several other parts of the Ubuntu distribution. HAL won't run. Nautilus won't run. Until Ubuntu "catches up" with the latest dbus release, I would sit tight and not chance introducing other issues in your system if you decide to upgrade dbus manually, as I did. At least I've got a working Gimp 2.3.14 to play with. :) Good luck! Peace...

Re: [Gimp-user] GIMP used in prisons / secure institutions
Ok, so the issue is that open source software might contain some sort of back door. I guess you could tell your bosses the following: * Every bank on earth uses open source software, whether it's openssh, bind, sendmail, Linux, ant, junit, apache, etc. * Every fortune 500 company in the world (many of which have *very* stringent security requirements) also use the above-mentioned open source software. * Every large government institution on earth uses this open source software too. So yes, while it is possible that some back-door has been written into an open-source program, it's highly unlikely, especially for large, well-respected projects like Gimp. HTH!

The original photo was taken at 72 dpi. Is the resultant image correct? If so, why does it not look as good as the original? if you look at the different channels in the levels dialog, you can see what the Auto button did. it consistently moves the light side to where the color histogram starts for all three of the color channels. and it seems that the gray (center) triangle stays in the middle of the other two triangles. i have no idea if this works for a majority of photographs or not. i used the tool just on the "Values" Channel (which is not a real channel) and i like mine better than your original and also the auto adjusted image. to me, the only thing that was wrong with your photograph was that 'all over gray' haze that scanned photo prints would really get and digital photographs still seem to get somewhat. Thanks for the detailed explanation. Obviously, I didn't understand what the "auto" button did on the Levels dialog. I figured it would automatically adjust color levels to be "correct", based on the photo being edited but clearly I was wrong. :) Now I have a better understanding of how to use that Levels dialog so I'll do more experimentation with it and other photos.

That issue is: Gimp does not look or behave like PhotoShop. As a result, people think it's doomed to fail simply because it's not PhotoShop. If folks want to use Pixel, which emulates PhotoShop, by all means let them. What I didn't like about the article is the author equates PhotoShop look/feel with "usability". Many Gimp users find Gimp *very* usable and functional given what it can do. Gimp's functionality is separate from its UI and I think it's wrong to judge Gimp's functionality based on its UI (which doesn't necessarily mean the UI is horrible even though many think it is). I mentioned before I once got into a Gimp UI debate with someone who slammed Gimp's UI but also felt PhotoShop's UI was just as bad. I think those who claim Gimp has a "bad" UI yet suggest adopting a PhotoShop UI are still missing the target. If the idea is to come up with a "good" UI for Gimp, that is where the focus should be instead of swapping one arguably bad UI with another arguably bad UI simply because it's well known.

I think this is a great idea. Ideally, the pro designers would be able to focus on the usability of Gimp *outside* of the context of PhotoShop. That way, we could minimize bias based on familiarity. With all of the talk of wanting Gimp to look/feel like PhotoShop, there hasn't been much discussion of PhotoShop's UI being considered "good". I had this kind of discussion with someone else who slammed the Gimp UI and much to my surprise he slammed the PhotoShop UI as being about as bad. :) I think the intent should be to strive for a solid UI that is intuitive, not necessarily to mimic one that is basically familiar and that's about it. > I think that Gimp's market potential isn't as an adobe REPLACEMENT, > not at this point anyway, it is more of a SUBSTITUTE (there is a > difference).

I can't comment on the "droves" part. :) People don't have to break the law if they use Gimp. People don't use PhotoShop primarily because they like the UI, they use it for what it can do with digital images. People learn the PhotoShop UI so they can do interesting things with those images. People can do interesting things with digital images using Gimp, but they do those things in a different way. I don't see anything wrong with that. > I think the main thing is to think creatively about who Gimp's > audience actually is. This is a good point and one issue I see is those who are screaming for a PhotoShop interface feel THEY are Gimp's actual audience when I'm not even sure what Gimp's audience actually is. Peace...

Geez, how strange that > people then propose improvements of the GIMP GUI that are inspired by > PS's GUI? Are those wishes just totally ignored by people that claim > to have a 'better' idea how software has to work? I disagree with you on these two points. A friend of mine fairly recently started using Gimp for her own photo manipulation (resizing and other basic functions). She's running Windows XP and Windows is *all* she knows (meaning she has no Mac or *nix experience whatsoever). I'm not sure if she had seen PhotoShop or not before but Gimp was her first "hands-on" experience with any tool of it's nature. She obviously didn't know what any of the tools or functions were simply because she had never used a tool like Gimp before. Given that, she's gotten her head wrapped around the tool such that she understands how to use some of the functions it performs and can manipulate her images mostly as she wants (she's still learning how to do things, as am I). The point being, she had definitely been "poisoned" by the general Windows UI and that wasn't a factor in her Gimp experience. Gimp looking exactly like PhotoShop or even MS Word didn't change the fact she had no idea what a layer was or what a "crop tool" was. This brings me to the second point. PS users wanting Gimp to look and affectively act like PS simply want Gimp to be a "free" PS, so they can use it legally without having to pay a boatload of money or without having to pirate a copy. PS users are very familiar with the PS UI (which is as overwhelming and user UN-friendly as people can argue Gimp is) and aren't willing or aren't capable of opening their minds to a different way of doing things. This is like a Windows user who complains about not being able to make Mac OS X or Linux behave just like Windows or the Windows user who can't differentiate between a word processor and "Word" (in this case, they think ALL word processors are Word and assume everyone with a computer has Word). I think those who focus their expertise on the functions being performed will have an easier time using ANY kind of PS-like app since it will be a matter of finding or learning how any given app performs those functions. Those who focus their expertise on learning the UI get "programmed" to the point of not having any chance of being productive if the UI they are used to isn't around. By virtue of the fact Gimp was chosen as the basis of Gimpshop, that proves Gimp is very functional and does work. The problem for PS users is they simply can't let go of the PS UI and Gimpshop was born. Now, I believe (could be mistaken) it's been the position of the Gimp developers that Gimp is not intended to be PhotoShop so why change the entire UI to look/act like PhotoShop? It's not like attracting 50,000 PhotoShop users will result in tremendous donations to the Gimp development effort or anything. Of course, it would make those PhotoShop users very happy since they get to almost have their cake and eat it too. :) I think a PhotoShop compatibility mode, that is integrated in Gimp, would be a good compromise. That way people still use Gimp first and foremost and can simply have it look like PS instead of trying to change Gimp into something it's not necessarily wanting or trying to be. My $0.03... :) Peace Tom ___ Gimp-user mailing list Gimp-user@lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU https://lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU/mailman/listinfo/gimp-user

Re: [Gimp-user] One stupid thing
glib and gtk+ and other libs required by Gimp might be part of any current Linux distro but they might not be the right versions required by any given Gimp version. As for the XML::Parser perl module, perl installations that come with Linux distros will have some perl modules installed but not all. I think it's reasonable to require the system owner or the person who is building Gimp to make sure external libs and apps are configured per Gimp's requirements. In this case, that means the system owner is responsible for making sure perl is setup per Gimp's requirements unless Gimp is being built with perl support disabled (if that is an option). Peace...

All these and Perl are either included in a standard "full" installation of e.g., Slackware or Debian Sarge, As I stated earler previous editions of Gimp have compiled without difficulty. I have Slackware Current up to date as of yesterday. I have Debian Sarge up to date as of yesterday. I can compile older versions of Gimp. My concern is not so much with 2.3.x but with 2.4.

GIMP version 2.3.3, dubbed "What The GIMP", is a preview on the upcoming GIMP 2.4. This release features the prototype of a new foreground selection tool that is being developed in cooperation with the department of Computer Science at the Freie Universität Berlin. The SIOX algorithm makes selection of foreground objects a lot easier. Instead of trying to trace the object boundary, the user now only has to specify the region of interest and some representative foreground pixels. SIOX (Simple Interactive Foreground eXtraction) does the rest, see http://www.siox.org/ More details can be found in the press release: http://gimp.org/release-notes/gimp-2.3.3.html The source code of GIMP 2.3.3 can be downloaded from the usual places: http://gimp.org/downloads#mirrors If you want to give it a try, please read the release notes for development releases: http://gimp.org/release-notes/gimp-2.3.html Last, but not least, here's the detailed list of changes since GIMP 2.3.2: - improved new GimpPageSelector widget - minor improvements to the Procedure and Plug-In browsers - set alternative button order in some places that were missed earlier - added SIOX algorithm for foreground extraction - fixed most gcc 4.0 warnings - improved Cursor view and Sample Points functionality - prepared code and UI for more layer lock types - added new PDF import plug-in based on libpoppler - undeprecated and improved palette editor, added cursor navigation - show more information in the Image Properties dialog - added prototype of SIOX foreground selection tool - fixed build of MMX code on gcc 4.0 - moved procedure browser to libgimpwidgets as GimpProcBrowserDialog - canonicalize PDB procedure and parameter names - use the coefficients from the sRGB spec when calculating luminance - allow to remove alpha channel from a layer - added more different cursors for the paths tool - bug fixes and code cleanup Happy GIMPing, Sven ___ Gimp-user mailing list Gimp-user@lists.xcf.berkeley.edu http://lists.xcf.berkeley.edu/mailman/listinfo/gimp-user

[Gimp-user] Re: Nobody does it better
Alan Horkan wrote: [please trim the subject line in your responses] Ok. :) I think most users are frustrated by the gimp and less frustrated by photoshop and the easiest way for them to express that is to make simple comparisons rather than being able to suggest better ways to do things. Yeah, this makes sense. :) What can the GNU Image Manipulation Program do that Adobe Photoshop cannot do? Please do tell. I have recently pointed out that the gimp allows you to have files with multiple layers in Indexed Mode and photoshop does not. I would like to be able to expand on this list of things I know the gimp can do better. I would very sincerely be interested to know other things you can do with the GNU Image manipulation program that cannot be done with other software, particuarly things that cannot be done in Adobe Photoshop. Some have already posted some features Gimp has PhotoShop doesn't and/or things Gimp does PhotoShop can't do or can't do as well. I haven't spent a lot of time using PhotoShop and I installed a trial version of PhotoShop Elements to check it out. I don't know how elements differs from the "full-blown" version of PhotoShop. Here are some things I found I couldn't do with PhotoShop Elements and I'm sure someone will correct me if they are possible with the full-blown PhotoShop: *) Take screenshots. I often take screenshots of Gimp or other apps, if not the desktop. The cool thing about doing it *within* the graphics app is I can immediately scale, resize, or otherwise manipulate the image without having to use one app to take the screenshot and another to do the manipulation. *) Have a finer granularity of control over sharpening images. With PS Elements, I could keep clicking the "sharpen more" menu option to sharpen the image I had loaded. With Gimp, I can dial-in the precise amount of sharpening I want using the "sharpen" filter. I didn't think to compare the number or types of sharpening filters that came with Gimp vs PS Elements. *) The ability to perform manipulations on multiple images at once. I was running an effects filter on a rather large image while I had 3 or 4 other images loaded. I'm running on a Pentium II 350MHz machine w/ 256MB of RAM and given my application mix, I had at least double that (if not more) allocated, meaning I was definitely using swap. I'm running on Linux. This one filter was taking its time to run, given the size of the image, and I was able to start other filters and work on the other images while that first filter was running. I was also scanning images while running the filter, etc. I don't know what kind of simultaneous multi-image processing capabilities PS has. I didn't think to try this with PS Elements, unfortunately. Those are three things I have personal experience with, at least with Gimp. :) Peace...

David Marrs wrote: > "Easier" for whom? the users or the developers? Since there's only one GIMP set-up anyway, I don't see how it makes a difference; any suggestion I make is going to be a direct result of the default GIMP set-up that I'm using. I'm not biased by Photoshop, PSP or anything else, I'm just acutely aware of the user interface's short comings and I'm trying to address them. Making GIMP newbies (which I'm not, btw) learn the interface until they get used to it only means that they'll get used to the GIMP's short comings, not that they'll go away. It's just the same as how Windows users put up with their interface, all the time forgetting how restrictive it is. When it's all you can see, it becomes normal. It's only after you come back to Windows after spending months away, using a different OS like Linux+Gnome, that you suddenly realise how poor Windows actually is. If Microsoft were trying to get users to migrate from GNU/Linux to Windows, they'd be out of business in weeks. So I think you unwittingly hit the nail on the head with regard to the GIMP's problem: it insists that its users conform to its way of doing things instead of being malleable so that different users with different approaches can tailor it to suit their needs. Its approach obviously works for you, which is why you're happy with it. Just try to remember that your way isn't necessarily the *right* way. I agree 100% with this, very well stated. I think PhotoShop users "suffer" from this as well as they don't realize the "PhotoShop way" isn't necessarily the *right* way. Great post! Peace...

Re: [Gimp-user] when even free advertising fails
Kalle Ounapuu wrote: The bug-tracker serves it's purpose, but you can't expect everyone to be reading it over before making any comment about GIMP. I agree. People use Gimp (or try to) and have a problem or criticism and post their feedback here instead of filing bug/enhancement reports or looking to see what is already documented in Bugzilla, etc. Maybe there are GIMP users who would love everyone to drop Photoshop (or whatever) and use GIMP. You know, I'm not sure this is really the case. At least not based on discussion I've seen on this mailing list. I think a lot of frustration stems from people slamming Gimp for simply not looking, feeling, behaving, or tasting exactly like PhotoShop. It's almost like if it's not PhotoShop, it's crap. The focus tends to be on what PhotoShop does that Gimp doesn't do and almost no mention is made of the things Gimp can do that PhotoShop can't. If so, they will have to deal with more of this. I think constructive criticism on Gimp's UI, usability, features or missing features is what is desired much more than the "Gimp sucks cuz it can't do this obscure thing PhotoShop can" kinds of comments. Not everyone can spend the time to search something out, or in fact they don't care, they would rather voice it out right away. Yep, you're right on the money here. I think the bulk of the new Gimp users don't even think to look at Bugzilla or maybe even the mailing list archives before posting their comments since they are frustrated or focused on what they are trying to do with Gimp and simply post questions or comments to get "immediate" help. I know I tend to do the same from time to time but I try to search the mailing list archives before posting a question to see if it has already been discussed. Peace...
