I've done a bunch of these. Best results I've come up with have resulted from taking an outline of the shadowed subjects with the intelligent scissors, feathering by a couple pixels, inverting the selection and darkening the overbright part, then selecting none and gamma correcting the whole photo. Usually after that the saturation needs some tweaking and probably the colors need a little correcting, and most digital cameras seem to introduce diginoise into the overly darkened areas that's visible when you brighten them. This is pretty off-topic so please contact me offlist if you need more tips. Rob

He's talking about people who use it for a living, like the people who designed Mandrake's promotional materials. That said, I have known a couple photoshop-using graphic designers who have at least messed with the gimp and not hated it (and a couple who did hate it, largely because of the confusing multi-window interface.) It goes without saying that anyone working with print media can't use it yet because of the lack of CMYK, but for most uses (yes, even most business uses) it's fine. I think if they took their heads out of their asses about MDI, Jasc would have something to worry about even if Adobe doesn't. Speaking of ass-head-removal, I look forward to the day when cinepaint starts replacing the gimp as the de facto Linux image manipulation program, not just because of its slightly less hostile interface but also because the two most common cultural references to the word gimp in the US (and maybe other English speaking countries) are very, very negative and one could very well get you sued if the wrong person heard you utter the word. Some of us *are* using and promoting Linux in business. I'm glad cinepaint is at least in contrib. Rob
Re: [Cooker] Mandrake uses Photoshop... What a pity!
The main things that I find bad about gimp (just my opinion, maybe im mad/doing it wrong) 1) The many-windows gui design - less said about that the better, esp when you have a large image that takes up the whole screen, you have to window switch just to change a tool! 2) I dont know if it is me... but cutting and pasting into/out of layers is a real chore. I seem to get stuck with a floating selection which doesnt do what i expect. Layers sometimes do not select, sometimes the selected layer changes. Basically I find any kind of non-resize image operations to be like fighting a gimp 3) In photoshop, if you need the zoom tool, you just press 'Z' crop is another one key shortcut. In gimp the same operation involves several clicks to cycle through each window (click main window, click zoom, click brush options, click 'allow to resize window', then you can use the tool) 4) Typing, editing text - dont even get me started on that! Having said all that, I use the gimp for all my image manipulation requirements (which is mostly basic digicam stuff)... but only because there isnt much choice out there On Wed, 2003-10-22 at 15:19, Pascal Terjan wrote: Mike wrote: If you have ever tried to use gimp for serious work - you will realise how cumbersome and not up to the job it is sorry to say that, but it is true... even the user interface in gimp takes a while to get used to, its layers are a nightmare to use compared to potatoshop Maybe you're right for people that start with photoshop...

Same here I have used the gimp since redhat 5.0 and I love it. I have never really used anything else. Well I have but not for long. I can get everything I need done and to me photoshop seems unintuitive. My only beef wit the mandrake version of the gimp is that they dont include the user filter for using filter factory filters. Um in this one case I use the gimp under windows because it does have this and I can use quite a few nifty filters. As stated in another email the only thing that photoshop really does better is cmyk for when you goto the printers. The gimp will supposedly do this in the next version but I have not seen it in 1.3 yet so I'm unsure.

Gimp is one of those words whose American colloquial or vulgar usage in no way resembles its dictionary definition. The most common use of the word gimp, sadly, is as a rude expletive used to refer to a disabled person. It's illegal in the US to discriminate against disabled people on the job, and one easy way to end up in court is to use the word gimp carelessly, especially in a large company. It's not as troublesome as the n word but more troublesome than, say, calling a French person a frog. The second most common use of the word refers to a... well, a character in the movie Pulp Fiction. I'll let you research that one.
