Re: [Gimp-user] renaming the gimp
> remember. So what do YOU think, does the GIMP need a > name change? No. The name is very nice and many people already know it. It is a good brand. Even people that never used it often heard about the Gimp. And the name is very easy to remember. It is only 4 letters short and it has a meaning - Gnu Image Manipulation Program. So I do not get what you do not like about the name. There are lots of free programs that do not have ideal names (some are really obscure), but the Gimp is one I really like.

It shouldn't be the same and its name shouldn't imply it. It is an original software. ___ Gimp-user mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.xcf.berkeley.edu/mailman/listinfo/gimp-user
Re: [Gimp-user] renaming the gimp
> THe name should imply/tell something about the > application...GIMP doesn't say anything to me other With good brands it happens often the other way - Xerox comes to mind immediatelly. But there are many more such examples. My experience is that many people around me mix all the similar names - Photoshop, PhotoPaint, Paint Shop Pro etc... This happens to me every other day: "I would like to fix those red eyes, how do I do it?" "What program do you use?" "Adobe PhotoPaint." or "Photoshop Pro" This does not happen with the Gimp. ___ Gimp-user mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.xcf.berkeley.edu/mailman/listinfo/gimp-user
[Gimp-user] Not using PNG transparency

Re: [Gimp-user] Tiff, and Jpeg Talk Part 2
> the advantages would be ? what more color depth? better correction? > then end size all would be 5x7 inches. the advantage is that with tiff you get original high quality image, while with jpg you are using compressing method based on throwing away small images details. it is done cleverly so that it damages the image in a way, that is for human eye not very noticeable, but still, you are loosing some information. it depends on a image and what you want to do with it, wheter it is too bad or not. ___ Gimp-user mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.xcf.berkeley.edu/mailman/listinfo/gimp-user

Gegl based Gimp will support at least 16 bits per chanell (16 bit grey, 48 bit RGB) such a gimp would be named at least 3.0, but it is possible that 3.0 would not include full gegl support and we will wait for a higher version (originally, 2.0 was supposed to be Gegl based) ___ Gimp-user mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.xcf.berkeley.edu/mailman/listinfo/gimp-user
