[Gimp-user] image alignment/registration

Hi - I was curious what the best overall image alignment plugin/method in GIMP (or out of GIMP) was these days? "Best" for me means "most powerful/flexible/option-rich". I've come across the hugin align_image_stack, the G'MIC plugin's "Align layers" option, and the image registration plugin

Hi -- I was working on a 16bit tiff trying to boost shadows in gimp similar to how I do it in raw photo development software. I was almost able to do it, but not well, because gimp doesn't provide much resolution in the low end of the histogram when adjusting curves, etc. The best solution I

Re: [Gimp-user] image alignment/registration

Ok -- I believe PS is beating align_image_stack because the picture seems to have been taken with a very wide lens (i.e. short focal length) from close up... as a result, there is a lot of barrel distortion, and in addition there is a lot of camera movement between frames, so the result is

Re: [Gimp-user] When black and white is not black and white

I'll take a stab at this, but other more knowledgeable people may weigh in: as I understand color theory, the notion that there is a canonical equivalent grayscale value for every color is somewhat of a fallacy; any such translation relies on pyscho-perceptual assumptions about how we perceive
