The hidden list shows no extension(s) for raw and ".data" files are not shown when the other selector is set to "All images", so I doubt. You will probably have to open the dialog, change the filter to show all files as well as pick RAW from the other list, then select the file. Yes, it sounds repetitive and the forced format option seems to be always closed and forgotten (tried it with PNGs). I also tried drag and drop with random file named "foo.data", it caused an error.

It's the same in GIMP. Since raw data can't really be autodetected you need to select "raw image data" as the file type in the File open dialog. ___ Gimp-user mailing list Gimp-user@lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU https://lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU/mailman/listinfo/gimp-user

GIMP PDB shows file-raw-load & file-raw-save. How to get them to do something... that is a different question, the "new" file dialog seems to be missing any reference to raw files. Try showing all file types, then loading one with a non matching file extension (in old versions you would be able to pick any file and then force the loader to use, IIRC). Or maybe use script-fu console to popup the loader options. GSR ___ Gimp-user mailing list Gimp-user@lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU https://lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU/mailman/listinfo/gimp-user

[Gimp-user] opening binary flat files
I often use photoshop to open binary flat files, either 8 or 16 bit depth. In photoshop if I select open using photoshop raw format, a dialog box pops up asking what the image dimensions are (ie, 512x512), the number of channels (ie 1), the bit depth and the byte order. Is there any way to do this in GIMP, either native or with plugins... I dont think that the UFRaw will work as these files do not come from a camera-- they are images of satellite imagery that are just binary flat files.

Re: [Gimp-user] First time user
I am guessing that you mean when you finished going around the area you wanted to remove, that you were unable to close the scissors loop? The scissors tool can be quite fussy like that. You have to hit your starting point exactly. But if that isn't the problem, then yes, like someone else said, just choose another tool. The scissors tool really isn't the best way to remove a background. You might look into the foreground select tool, or one of several other "rendering" methods (removing a background is called "rendering", not to be confused with the "rendering" done by 3D software, such as Blender). Some people use the paths tool, some people use Quickmask, and some people (such as myself) use a layer mask, you can even combine rendering methods. Start with the foreground select tool to create a rough selection, which you then turn into a layer mask and refine by painting on the mask. There are tutorials for all these methods available in several places on the net. --- On Mon, 1/31/11, ErnieD wrote: > From: ErnieD > Subject: [Gimp-user] First time user > To: gimp-user@lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU > Cc: t...@gimpusers.com > Date: Monday, January 31, 2011, 10:56 PM > Hi, > > I am a first time user.
