Your version of GIMP is just outdated and doesn't have the fix for this
bug yet. It's fixed in the 2.4.6 release, but you will want to update to
GIMP 2.6.2.

See http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=317992 for all the
details.

[Gimp-user] Dialog Flash Screen Bug

2008-11-05 Thread Rich Says...
Sven,
  Thanks for you reply.  I have always used the newest version of gimp
for these distros.

#gimp --version
GNU Image Manipulation Program version 2.4.5

I can't seem to find a good way to reproduce it either. It just sort
of happens when it wants to. i.e. when the mouse moves, moving
windows, switching windows, no user action at all

This is baffling. If this problem was fixed a long time ago, could it
be possible that my configuration is the loosely the problem?

Is the most useful page I've read on calibration...(Pretty sure I got
this from this list a couple of years ago.)

[Gimp-user] Calibrating monitors in Ubuntu

2008-11-05 Thread Dotan Cohen
I have a Dell Inspiron E1505 / 6400 and I've done all my work on its
built-in monitor. Now that I've gotten an external 22" Asus monitor,
all my colours are off. What is the proper way to calibrate a monitor?
Is there a reference image that one should use for calibration? I am
more interested in calibrating the external Asus against a known
reference implementation than against the Dell's internal monitor.
Thanks.

[Gimp-user] compiled version of separate+

2008-11-05 Thread Rob Coben
I am new to Gimp, but it looks great. I have downloaded the latest version
and am using mac os x. I now need to convert images from rgb to cmyk. I am
wondering if there is a version (compiled or otherwise) of separate+ for the
mac os? Any other ideas on how to convert these images - I am sure this is a
common need of users.

Your problem is not clear to me, it could be one or both of two things :
a) parts of image have been 'burnt out' by the flash (in which case,
there is no information that *can* be restored,
or
b) there are strange highlights across the entire picture caused by the glass

in case a) you might be able to use 'resynthesizer' plugin to
synthesize detail for the burnt out areas based on surrounding
textures.

In case b) you could first adjust the white-balance to seem more
natural, and then create a layer in 'subtract' mode filled with white
-- start painting with a fuzzy brush on that layer, trying to directly
counteract the highlighted areas.

There may be simpler solutions. I'm pretty sure there is not a
solution as easy as you're looking for.

[Gimp-user] Flash flare

2008-11-05 Thread Susan Penter
Hi I am relatively new to doing much beyond cropping, I have learnt to
correct the white balance etc recently.  I was wondering whether there was a
plug in or built in tool that would remove the flare of flash when something
is photographed behind glass.  This is not an image I took but one sent to
me to put of a web site, it is not something she can go back and
re-photograph.

Thanks in advance,

Susan
