Re: PhotoCD

2000-09-04 Thread L. Jack Reese


Try using Image Magick to convert the format... 

   Is there anybody out there that can tell me how to get .pcd images into
   the gimp?  I'm running Red Hat Linux 6.0 and Gimp 1.0.4.  When I try to
   load the photoCD images,  the gimp tells me it can't open these files. 
   Thanks.

OK, this is way off topic, but I have to ask...

I noticed that your entire post is right justified.

So, I figured that you used some nifty utility to perform the justification.
But, there is no evidence (multiple spaces) of deliberate formatting.
There are double spaces following "."s - even that is consistent.

...curiosity...

   TeX Computer Modern font...

   I don't like some of the design characteristics of
   cm.  The ff ligature is a little ghastly, and at a
   normal pointsize (cmr10) the font is a too `light'
   for my taste.  I prefer the good old venitian font
   families (notice Google uses one of these in thier
   logo).  It would be quite amusing seeing a complex
   math equation typeset with Cloister.  I think that
   cm is good for math typesetting, but if I am going
   to write a letter to someone, it seems too formal.
   The reason I suggested Times is because ships with
   every OS that I know of.  I also hate Times, and I
   cringe whenever I am given an article to read that
   uses it (when I'm a prof, I think I'll take points
   off for using ugly fonts:).

   [I actually use cmr on my website, using plainTeX,
   dvips, and gimp's ps importer]




Re: Slightly OT - Image Magick

The command is "display" (of course!)

:-)

   Hi all,

   This is slightly off-topic, so I hope you don't mind. How do you run
   ImageMagick ? I can't find an entry for this program on any of the menus,
   yet GnoRPM says that it is currently installed.

   I have heard that this program runs well in tandem with the GIMP, hence the
   enquiry.

   Thanks in advance,

   regards,

Yes, there is a GUI - just type "display" at the command line. 
I don't know what to elaborate on... just type in the letters 
d-i-s-p-l-a-y enter

and there you have it - the GUI to all the cool utilities.

Hope this helps.

   Thanks, Holger.

   Isn't there a graphical interface program for all of these utilities ? 

   regards,
   Andrew

Try 

tifftopnm - to convert your tiffs to .pnm files
pnmscale  - to resize as you like
pnmtotiff - to convert back to .tif (better yet pnmtopng) :-)

===
Here are some examples, then I put it all into one step at the end. 
Be aware that I have not tested any of this - it may need some tweaking...

CONVERT TIF to PNM
for f in *.tif; do tifftopnm $f  `ls $f | cut -f 1 -d "."`.pnm; done

THUMBNAIL
for f in *.tif; do tifftopnm $f  `ls $f | cut -f 1 -d "."`.pnm; done

CONVERT PNM to TIF
for f in *.ppm; do pnmtotiff -none $f  `ls $f | cut -f 1 -d "."`.tif; done

CONVERT PNM to PNG (May I suggest the PNG file format)
for f in *.ppm; do pnmtopng -none $f  `ls $f | cut -f 1 -d "."`.png; done

===
DO EVERYTHING AT ONCE!

for f in *.tif; do 
tifftopnm $f | 
pnmscale -width 115 -height 150 | 
pnmtopng  `ls $f | 
cut -f 1 -d "."`.png; 
done

You may have to consult the man pages and make some decisions about
aspect ratio but this should point you in a useful direction.
Also, check out the many pnm* and ppm* for lots of good stuff. 

Hope this helps,

   Hi,
   I have over 1800 images that need to be processed. In short, these images
   are in TIFF format, I want to open them, resize them, from 2048X2668 
   pixels to 115X150 and save (same filename different extension) them as a
   medium quality JPEG thumbnail. I would prefer to somehow create a script
   so I can let the computer process the images automatically.  I have been
   playing around with the script-fu tool but can't seem to get a script to
   do what I want. I am completely new to gimp scripting and the whole
   "scheme of things" (any bowie fans out there =).  Maybe the perl-fu is
   what I need?  All the images are on CDs.

   thanks for any help you can offer, chao
