Re: [Gimp-user] Source of photos

Just as another option for PC,  Mac, or Linux is XnView/XnViewMP. 

It's a great image viewer/organizer/converter and would use it regardless, but 
you can configure multiple programs to open an image in and then access them by 
shortcuts. When I find an image I want to open in gimp I just hit "Alt+1" and 
it opens gimp if not already open, or opens image in a new tab.

It also has the added benefit of decent support for xcf thumbnails so you can 
browse your gimp files, and it's free for personal use. (No ads or nags)

In the GIMP file chooser - at least on Linux - you can add to the
places shown on the left-hand side.

There's no thumbnail browser builtin to GIMP though. Maybe it'd make a
good add-on. the GNOME file chooser will display thumbnails and you can
drag them into GIMP to open the image. In the gnome image viewer
(depending on gnome version) you can also tag images and select images
by tag. There's also Shotwell, a photo manager for Linux systems.

If you're using a Mac i've no idea, sorry.

Liam

GIMP doesn’t really have any sort of photo management functionality built
in (not should it in my opinion).

You could try a photo manager like digiKam.

I had a friend play with both the iPhone images and the camera images using
Lightroom. Would it be ok if I uploaded both the RAW (KDC) images and the ones
she edited to get a better idea of what enlargement IS possible?  I’m at the
point where even if I cannot use it for the 48x24 size it’s too beautiful to not
do something with it!  I appreciate any help!  Thanks.

Re: [Gimp-user] tone mapping: gimp vs gegl CLI

To forward Massimo's answer from
https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gegl/issues/94, it seems gimp (2.8) and
GEGL CLI disagree about whether the image is in a linear or
gamma-corrected color space, and one is adding an implicit conversion.

While this is an "improvement" for some operations (for mantiuk06, it's
hard to argue that the GEGL result isn't more "correct", although
stylistically I prefer the "wrong" result in some cases), for many
others it ranges from dubiously, to *definitely*, worse. In particular,
stress tends to produce a washed-out result. (I mention this mainly
because it is my impression that gimp 2.10 behaves the same was as GEGL
CLI, though it sounds as if there is an option to control this. PLEASE
KEEP THAT OPTION!)

At any rate, the literal answer to my question is:

  gegl  -o  \
cast-format input-format="R'G'B' u8" output-format="RGB u8" \
  \
cast-format input-format="RGB u8" output-format="R'G'B' u8"

...which does indeed produce the same results as gimp (2.8). \o/

[Gimp-user] Source of photos

2018-08-10 Thread Gordon Caines
Hello:


In Lightroom I was able to have a "directory" to choose from such as Vacation 
2017, or Vacation 2018.

The pictures in these folders were indexed down the left side of the screen.  
Stored in a separate hard drive.

Does Gimp have a similar directory, even though the photos are stored in a 
separate hard drive?

Regards,

Gord

[Gimp-user] Selecting an image

2018-08-10 Thread Gordon Caines
Hello:


New to Gimp.

I am able to select only one image at a time.

When I was using Lightroom, all the images of different photos appear across 
the bottom of the screen in a scroll effect, sort of like a preview.

Is there a way to preview my photos before I edit one?


Thanks

[Gimp-user] RAW loaders for 2.10

2018-08-10 Thread Helmut Jarausch via gimp-user-list

Hi,

I still have problems to select a RAW loader with Gimp-2-GIT (branch  
gimp-2-10) on Gentoo Linux

If I click on  Edit -> Preference -> Image Import & Export

I do see ${gimp_plugin_in_dir}/plug-ins/nufraw-gimp

But when I click on it, it gets greyed out and seems to be get ignored
since loading a RAW image shows a pop-up window
"RAw Photo Loader 1.1.20 - 16 September 2008"
and on the console I see that it invokes 'dcraw'.

Furthermore, I have Darktable and Rawtherapee installed here,
neither of which shows up in the menu mentioned above.

P.S.  nufraw, darktable and rawtherapee are all current GIT version

Many thanks for a hint,
Helmut

[Gimp-user] Using GIMP with Windows Live Photo Gallery....

2018-08-10 Thread Martin Toll via gimp-user-list
Hello,
 To date I have used Windows Live Photo Gallery on Windows 10.  I 
have purchased a new laptop, running Windows 10, with increased capacity for 
storing and editing my photo's.  My question is this: Does GIMP work in 
alongside with Windows Live Photo Gallery or should I remove the Windows Live 
Photo facility and only run GIMP ?  Thank you. 

Regards,
Martin Toll

Can look good on a screen, but at 48"? All the problems will jump in
your face. Making that look really good is a lot of work, maybe the
photographer made a very honest offer, or quoted in way to make you go
elsewhere.

Well, I don't think I have a shitty camera, although it is not an $800 one.
It's a Kodak Easyshare.  Before you groan, for as much as I use it, and
understand it, it was at the right pricepoint.  I also have images from that
camera that are in the RAW (extension of KDC) format that I have no way of doing
anything with.  Plus, I don't like the ones from the camera as well as the one
from the iPhone.

Thank you for your input - you clearly have a great eye for detail!

Your camera likely does better pictures, but its default settings may be 
more neutral than those of your smartphone.


Typically smartphones aim for flashy pictures, and their software will 
go to great lengths to achieve this. But this also makes further editing 
of the picture very difficult. By contrast what comes out of a camera is 
more neutral but is easier to edit.


There are utilities to process RAW files, your camera likely came with 
such an app, or you can download it from the manufacturer's website. 
There are otherwise several good free ones.
