I would also recommend Elle Stone's website http://ninedegreesbelow.com/
which has a wealth of information about color management and more
specifically as it relates to GIMP.

"Real World Color Management" by the late Bruce Fraser et al. is quite good.

Re: [Gimp-user] Navigation Window Zoom Preview

2017-01-21 Thread gimp-users . mbourne

HambaHambaHamba wrote:

Hi I was wondering, when we have Display Navigation docked as one of
our menus, when we zoom in on our canvas, it doesn't zoom in the
navigation, but it does show a little preview... a square of how
much, and where we have zoomed in on the canvas. The square has white
borders, and anything outside the area of the zoom is darkened...
almost barely visible. Although I don't mind the square, I was
wondering, is there a way to disable the darkened area... the area
outside of the zoom, so that only square zoom remains in the Display
Navigation?

I want to record a speed painting video, and cause it's all speeded
up, I wanna have a little preview that doesn't constantly jumps in
and of the whole canvas (cause of zooming), hence the Display
Navigation. But, at the same time, the darkening of the 'out of the
focus' area, also makes the preview of the whole piece a bit...
epilepsy educing. So, any tips on the removal of the darkened area
whilst zooming in the Display Navigation?


Perhaps View > New View - it gives you a separate window showing the 
same image, which can be zoomed and scrolled independently. I think the 
Navigation Window is probably intended to highlight the area you're 
currently working on, to help find your way around when working on fine 
details of a large image.

Did you tick the "Save keyboard shortcuts on exit" checkbox at the

Re: [Gimp-user] Digikam raw files and darktable

2017-01-21 Thread Juan Jose Casafranca
That is the point. Askibg which raw processor to use when decoding the raw
file for showing the preview and thumbnail.

Anyway, I have been trying to understand the code and doing a todo list and
it looks like a lot of work just for me (as I dont understand the code).
The todo list is:
-Add code to generate the thumbnail when thumbnails are being created (this
is easy and its done, although in a very bad manner)
-Schedule thumbnail creation when a raw file OR the file where the edition
is saved are modified. This is not done and I dont know how to do it. Maybe
a new table in the database where we stored the edition files and the image
file which are related to. When an edition file is changed, schedule an
update for the image.
-Being able to show several thumbnails for a single raw file is several
editions coexist. Maybe the previous approach can do this also.
-Config for selecting the raw processor.

Without some help from a experienced developer its impossible for me to do
all this tasks in a correct, bugfree and eficient way. So unless a
developer wants to help me with support, docs and code, and I know they
have other roadmap, Ill have to leave the project, as I dont have enough
time for solving those task in my own.

Thanks!

This makes me wonder if the most recent package for OSX is being used
here - it has a fix for wrong language (i.e. one of the user's chosen,
but not prefered ones) being selected for the UI language.

Many thanks for your help and including pictures. I can't get the layer menu up
to choose screen, but I am new here and will search through the help. The rest
makes sense so far. Thanks again.

Use the Gimp menu Windows -> Dockable Dialogs -> Layers or the shortcut ctrl-L
(for OSX ctrl might be command)

Then choosing the layer mode is via the drop down menu top of the dialog, for a
description, see about half way down this page

https://www.ephotozine.com/article/how-to-use-layers-and-layer-modes-10659

Sounds like you have a less-than-standard Gimp setup but that is another issue.

[Gimp-user] Font problem in user interface

2017-01-21 Thread ladyejan
just downloaded GIMP for Mac, and when I open it all the text in the user
interface menu is in numerical fractions.

Does anyone know a solution for this - or has had this problem?   

I'd love to try out the program - but can't figure out what's what with this
issue.

It will be a language setting, the strange symbols are foreign language
characters that your computer can not display. Something like :
http://imgur.com/mryHNmJ

I do not use a Mac but try this
https://sourceforge.net/p/gimponosx/support-requests/9/

You will have to go by position in the relevent menus on my installation it is
like this: http://imgur.com/eZRFCCL

Second menu (Edit) 5 up from the bottom -> gives the preferences menu

Preferences menu, second option -> top entry and the drop down menu.
