[Gimp-user] Official GIMP 2.8.14 OS X build released
Hi, the official OS X build of GIMP 2.8.14 has been released. It works with OS X 10.6 Snow Leopard and later. Unlike the OS X builds from Lisanet and Partha it contains the pure GIMP without additional add-ons nor patches. It would be helpful for bugfixing if you used this build for reporting OS X bugs to our bug tracker. You find it at http://www.gimp.org/downloads/ Please prefer to use the emphasized torrent download to save bandwidth. I'd like to thank especially Tobias Vogel for kindly providing OS X machines. Without his help we wouldn't have been able to provide GIMP for older OS X versions like Snow Leopard. Have fun and happy GIMPing Sven ___ gimp-user-list mailing list List address:gimp-user-list@gnome.org List membership: https://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gimp-user-list List archives: https://mail.gnome.org/archives/gimp-user-list

Reopen the DMG file and drop the GIMP symbol from there into the Applications folder. Check back by clicking the Applications folder - if GIMP is there, then everything is fine. Run GIMP from there.

Re: [Gimp-user] Move Tool glitch
Hey user,
I can reproduce this exactly.
The cause is that the Move tool is set to move paths but after
scaling an item you are working on a floating selection. Therefore
you see this cursor symbol and moving doesn't work.
To solve this, go to the Move tool and in the first line of the tool
properties dialog ('Move') click the first toggle button ('Layer').
Then try to move again.
I hope this helps.
Kind regards,
Sven

Curious as to what you recommend. the DNG file format specification version 1.4 allows a precision of up to 32 bit floating point values. Current RAW images from Canon, Nikon and Sony high-end cameras have a bit depth of 14 bits, so 16 bit should be a sufficient compromise between precision and computing speed for now. Floating point calculations are more precise than integer calculations. The physical light is what we call 'linear' and therefore I would say, that editing in linear light gives more realistic results. So my recommendation for now would be 16 bit floating point (linear).

You can't have got it from our website because it is clearly not supported by us. GIMPShop has started some years ago as GIMP fork with a Photoshop interface.

This explains it from a technical point of view. From a user's point of view: yes, you are right. Thank you for pointing it out. As far as I know there's at least a chance for improvement with the switch to GEGL in GIMP 2.10. GEGL is a graphics library for non-destructive image editing. This means it internally stores the set of processing commands instead of bulks of image data. User of RAW photo processors know this as 'receipt'. Indeed, such a receipt can be stored in a very small file. GEGL itself (separately from GIMP) stores receipts in XML files. For more information about a new, GEGL-based file format for GIMP Mitch could be able to tell more.

The Levels tool is a bit easier to handle (adjust the three little controls under the histogram), while the Curves tool is more flexible. If you want to adjust colors separately for dark/mid/light tones, then the Color Balance tool or Colors/Filter pack... might be your friends.

Re: [Gimp-user] keyboard shortcut for show mask? change opacity?
Hi, after the night I've had another idea that could solve both problems better - the Quickmask. This is a quite convenient way to edit and refine a selection by just painting it. 1. On your layer press Q to show the Quickmask. By clicking on the little button left to the image's horizontal scrollbar you can set the opacity of the mask and control whether to show the selected or unselected areas (mask or inverted mask). 2. When you're done, press Q again. 3. Add a layer mask to the layer, choose 'From selection'. You can also assign a keyboard shortcut to it by assigning it to the action 'Add layer mask'. 4. Remove the selection with Ctrl+Shift+A. The benefits are - it's a convenient and intuitive way to achieve what you want, - much more selection editing capabilities than with the normal Selection tools. You can for instance apply filters like (Gaussian) Blur, Gradient Flare or the Paint/Color/Clone Tools. - you can start right out from a normal selection of the image, - you can apply the known Selection tools to the Quickmask, - if sth. doesn't work on the Quickmask it might work on the layer mask. The downsides are - you loose your current selection (but can of course save it before to a channel), - not all Filters and Tools work on the Quickmask. If the Transform tools wouldn't have the floating selection they worked here, too. But you can do it after making a layer mask from it.

I think, following these steps will help you: 1. Look into the photo frame manual to see which image types it can handle. I guess JPEG/JPG will be among them. 2. If the images are not already in this format: open them in GIMP and export them to that format (if GIMP has it, but of course it can export to JPEG). If you have many photos to convert using GIMP will surely take a long time. You might have more luck then with image viewing or conversion programs, which can do this as batch job. 3. If that doesn't work then something else might be the cause. Try to find support from the photoframes manual, manufacturer or community.

Re: [Gimp-user] Macro recorder

IIRC it was based on collected usage data and aggregated single tool actions into tasks. Unfortunately it seems to be abandoned. IMHO it's rationale is a nice approach and I would really like to know what happened with the project. In the meantime you can try [BIMP] (GIMP with batch processing capabilities) or write your own scripts or plug-ins.

Hi,
to get a black layer:
1. Set the foreground color to black by pressing the 'd' key (not
Shift+d, but only the lowercase 'd').
2. Add a new layer: in the layers dialog press the left most button
('New layer') and choose 'Layer fill type: Foreground color'. Instead
of the layers dialog you can also use the Layers menu, item 'New layer...'.
3. In the layers dialog drag the new layer and drop it below the

Yes, it's not perfect, but at least one step into the right direction. If you have an expert I'd be glad if you asked him and reported back. Another point that needs clarification is the use and meaning of the word 'Value' in the Layer and Painting modes. Elle Stone and Nicolas Robidoux, can you please also have a look on this topic?

On 3.11.2013 at 1:24 PM alemelo wrote: Hello, [...] I want to be able to pick a corner - say the bottom right one - and move it *only* right or left, without any vertical shift. I tried with guidelines but I cannot make them stick to the exact side of the image neither if I tell GIMP they're magnetic. But what's worst is that even if I manually put guides along the edge, it seems that the corners of the perspective tool ignore completely the magnetic attribute. In Photoshop I could simply pick one corner, hold the shift key and restrict movement to the two main axes. Any analog trick in GIMP? In GIMP there's a similar trick for the Move tool: use the arrow keys to move the layer horizontally or vertically. If you press Shift+Arrow keys the movement is in bigger steps (ca. 25 display pixels) - depending on zoom level you can move across the image in smaller or bigger steps. Unfortunately the arrow key method has some flaws: 1. It can only move the active layer. Picking up a layer doesn't work, because the Shift key is double-bound to 'Tool toggle' and 'Move in bigger steps'. At the end 'Move in bigger steps' wins. Using the mouse to select a layer and the arrow keys to move precisely doesn't work. 2. Moving the currently selected guide doesn't work. Instead the active layer is moved. 3. The arrow keys don't support precise application of the Transform Tools consistently: - Crop Tool: only move the crop area around if it was moved with the mouse before. - Rotate Tool: rotate in steps of 15 degrees, the same way as using Shift+Arrow keys or Ctrl+Mouse - Scale, Shear: up/down arrow keys in-/decrease the value of the selected input field (width, height, shear magnitude) - Perspective Tool, Unified Transform Tool (in GIMP master): no function. As described in another posting the magnetic rulers have the effect to let the mouse cursor snap in at the ruler, not the center of the handler what can be a bit unpredictable and thus unprecise. I could reproduce this with all Transform Tools except the Move and Crop tools.

I have both Gimp v2.8.4 and Scribus v1.4.3 installed, but I cannot find a way to apply output icc profiles for either of these applications. In GIMP is see two ways: Image/Mode/Convert to Color Profile... lets you apply a color profile to your image (recalculates the color values of the pixels to make the image look the same with the new profile, considering the rendering intent). Note, that your image is connected to that color profile then - to avoid restricting your possibilities you should keep a device-independent color profile, like sRGB or AdobeRGB etc and thus not overwrite your file with the converted version. The safe way: On OSX you can assign a color profile to your printer with ColorSync. It's shipped with OS X and you find it in Applications/Utilities. After that in GIMP: Normally this should be enough and after printing the file from GIMP it should look as expected. For soft proofing: In the menu GIMP/Preferences/Color Management enter your profile in the field 'Print Simulation Profile' and choose a suitable Softproof rendering intent. For softproofing on the screen go to 'View/Display filters...', add 'Color proof' to the right list. In the field 'Profile' in the lower part of the dialog you can choose your printer profile then and set a suitable Rendering intent.

Re: [Gimp-user] Problem with the toolbox GIMP 2.8 Mac
Hi mauricemaurice, if this error happens with both versions, the cause is probably in your system. You can try the following: 1. Remove or rename the folder /Users/$username/Library/Application Support/GIMP/2.8/ (for the 2.8.4 version. For the version from gimp.lisanet.de check the location in GIMP/Preferences/Folders). Restart or reinstall GIMP. If that doesn't work: 2. Try Partha's GIMP build: www.partha.com If that doesn't work: 3. It's perhaps a bug in OS X 10.8.4. An update to the latest 10.8.5 could perhaps fix it. The 10.8.5 version is expected to be released the next days. I don't use OS X 10.8, so take this advice without warranty, please ;-) Kind regards, Sven ___ gimp-user-list mailing list List address:gimp-user-list@gnome.org List membership: https://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gimp-user-list

Hi, it depends on what exactly you're trying to achieve: A) Move all the layers in that layer group to another (x,y) position: 1. In the Move tool check 'Move the active layer', 2. select the layer group in the Layers dialog, 3. move the layer group around with the Move tool. It also works with the other Transform tools (you don't need to execute step 1 for the other Transform tools). This works for me with GIMP 2.8.4 on a Mac. If that doesn't work in your GIMP version, then for each of the layers in the group click into the second column of the Layers dialog to bring up a little chain before those layers. Then move them around and after your work click the chain icons again to remove them. B) To bring the whole layer group before or behind other layers. 1. In the Layers dialog select the layer group and 2. drag drop it there to the desired z-position or press the 'Raise' or 'Lower' button in the button bar at the bottom of the Layers dialog.

Otherwise you will have to use the online help from the internet. On Linux: Install the GIMP help packages in the package manager of your distribution.

Pixel' and set brush size to 1 px. 4. Paint a vertical or horizontal line by clicking its start and end point while pressing Shift+Strg (on Mac: Shift+Cmd). 5. Deactivate quickmask (like in step 1).

The reason why it failed in my first posting is that a guide has a width resp. height of 0 px and selections of 0 px width or height don't make much sense.

Re: [Gimp-user] Gradients
On 28.04.13 at 02:48 am Madeleine Fisher wrote: Are there any other cool tricks that anybody knows? Hi Madeleine, some cool effects with gradients are painting with gradients and recoloring an image with a gradient. You find more information on that on [1]. The 'Paint with a gradient' feature is reworked now. It worked like described in the help until GIMP 2.6, but was then missing in GIMP 2.8.0 to 2.8.4. Lately I brought it back using a specific Dynamic to be compliant with the new Paint tool options. It will be available in the next GIMP version or - if you want it earlier - you can get if from GIMPs git repository (branches gimp-2-8 and master) [2] or in the nightly builds [3].

Re: [Gimp-user] How do I save and then restore tool options.
Hi Leonard, thank you for reporting this. Depending on exactly where the program crashes, losing your tool options can surely be a side effect of a crash. If you have a set of default options you use quite often, you can keep them. Open Edit/Preferences/Tool Options and press the 'Save tool options now' button. Without having more information about the file and your configuration it is hard to give you a detailed answer. It would be good, if you could report this on Bugzilla and attach the file there (preferably the XCF file, if you have one). We could try to reproduce it then. Is this probably the same as bug #683983 [1]? If yes, please add your findings there. Otherwise file a new bug report, please.

Re: [Gimp-user] How to design new GIMP themes from scratch
Hi ID_Graphics, as a start you could look around in GIMPs themes folder [1]. Most of the work is editing a GTK theme configuration file, the gtkrc. This is a text file. You'll need to read and understand it, but it's no rocket science. There's also a GMOME tutorial on theming [2] and lots of other themes in the web you can learn from, for instance on the GNOME art site [3]. The icons are in GIMPs 'themes/Default/images' folder. It's also worth knowing that the GNOME Design team worked on a suitable icon set [4]. To join your forces you should contact the GNOME visual design lead Jakub Steiner (jimmac) [5] or our user interaction architect Peter Sikking. You find at least jimmac on IRC in #gimp or #gnome-design. Preparing your theme for deployment is - putting your files all together in a folder like the already existing themes. IMHO GIMP shipped with a modern, good-looking and unobtrusive dark theme would be a nice thing, so your contribution is welcome I think the gimp-developer mailing list would be a good place for ongoing discussions on that.

The new dialog devotes the left 5% of the slider to this range. To set the brush size precisely you can also click the number in the slider three times and then enter a numeric value. In re adjusting brush diameter, I map the unassigned Alt+Scroll (mouse wheel) combination to Brush size increase and Brush size decrease. Adjusting brush size on the fly without leaving the canvas is a wonderful thing. Picture worth thousand words: http://pilobilus.net/img/mouse-scale-brush.jpg [...] With these brush siza and harness accelerators set, and the Paintbrush tool options dock open, I find that I rarely have to change brushes in the middle of a task. Thank you for sharing your knowledge. I also love adjusting the size on the fly with the middle mouse button and already wondered if this is something even more users would find useful if it worked out of the box. What do you - the users - think? I have also used this menu to map Ctrl+Alt+Shift plus Scroll up/down, to increase or decrease brush hardness. On my installation I found that the more version of this function works better than the regular one. This doesn't work on my Mac and Windows machines at all, neither with Pen, Paintbrush nor Airbrush. How exactly did you do this?

Re: [Gimp-user] Compile GIMPv2.9.1 for Debian (Wheezy/Sid)
Thank you for sharing your knowledge. Yesterday I built on Debian Wheezy, too, but not into the system directories (/usr/bin etc.), but to local directories under my non-privileged users $HOME. I downloaded all dependencies (also the optional), built BABL and GEGL and tried building GIMP. GIMPs autogen ends with no errors. But GIMPs make fails in the 'cursors' directory: Making all in cursors make[2]: Entering directory `/home/gimpdev/Workspace/gimp/cursors' GENtool-cursors.list GENgimp-tool-cursors.h failed to load ./cursor-bad.png: Couldn't recognize the image file format for file './cursor-bad.png' make[2]: *** [gimp-tool-cursors.h] Error 1 make[2]: Leaving directory `/home/gimpdev/Workspace/gimp/cursors' make[1]: *** [all-recursive] Error 1 make[1]: Leaving directory `/home/gimpdev/Workspace/gimp' make: *** [all] Error 2 I found out, that downloading the latest stable GLib (2.34.3) and GDK-Pixbuf (2.26.10) and building them from sources into my $INSTALL_PREFIX solved it. However, I don't understand why this doesn't work out of the box with the GLIb and GDK-Pixbuf packages from the distro. A bit of research led me to refreshing the GDK-Pixbuf cache (file loaders.cache somewhere under /usr/lib). Nevertheless building the cursors directory succeeds only when building as root, but fails for normal users. As I saw such effects have been an issue for years in various GTK based products and with various filetypes. Does anybody have some ideas how we can have them working and not breaking the GIMP build out of the box?

Re: [Gimp-user] Rotating An Image Using GIMP 2.8.0. WITHOUT Losing Any Of The Image
You are right, the online help is a bit skimped in that point. The most comprehensive is written in chapter 4.5 [1]. I'd like to mention some thoughts: - If rotating the image is embedded into a bigger workflow, steps 1 and 10 are not necessary for rotating. - 'Image/Fit Canvas to Layers' can also grow the canvas to fit the layers. Thus steps 3 and 4 are optional. However, thank you for your hard work and sharing your knowledge with the community!
