[Gimp-developer] Selections to shapes
Hi, It would be nice to have controls for tweaking rectangle and ellipse selections into different shapes for designing pixel-based graphics with easy. Currently, the rectangle selections can only be tweaked into a rounded-corners shape. This should be extended further to allow shaping selections into different forms based on the type of the starting selection. Such design shapes can then be filled with colour, stroked, beveled, embossed etc. Regards.

Re: [Gimp-developer] Selections to shapes
Try using Select-To Path -- Everything you describe is already possible. Although, maybe, selection-To path could have more usability if it would change to the Path Tool, with the new path as active, so that its nodes are displayed at once. Currently, one has to manually go to the Paths dockable, set the path as visible, select the Path Tool and click on the path (4 separate actions) before being able to see the handles. js -- On 20 March 2015 at 06:01, Joseph Bupe joseph.b...@gmail.com wrote: Hi, It would be nice to have controls for tweaking rectangle and ellipse selections into different shapes for designing pixel-based graphics with easy.

Re: [Gimp-developer] Selections to shapes
Hi Joao. I know about the selection to paths, but it's not as rich and interactive as I am proposing. What I had in mind is something like Arakne's Path-Shape-Creator here http://www.arakne.es/en/dessign/gimp-python-script-shape-creator-shapes/ In fact, Ajay Ramanathan's proposed combined-selection tool here : https://git.gnome.org/browse/gimp/log/?h=soc-2013-combined-selection-tool contains some possibility to create n-polygon shapes, just working with selections (not paths). I just thought from that angle it would be nice to consider other possible design shapes as well. Regards.

Re: [Gimp-developer] MWG composite functions gexiv2
I have gone ahead with the first patch of the series, adding the xmp.dc.description property to the get_comment function in gexiv2. Comments and testers are very welcome. https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=746424 On Fri, Mar 20, 2015 at 12:41 AM, Alan Pater alan.pa...@gmail.com wrote: I have been talking with Jim Nelson about adding composite functions to gexiv2. These would be based on Metadata Working Group guidelines with the addition of a couple of commonly-requested formats. https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=712429 I can do a lot of the grunt work and testing, but need a hand with some of the conversions, from xml for example. Who would like to volunteer to give me a hand? I think it makes sense to do this work in gexiv2, that way all the individual applications don't have to maintain duplicate code for these functions themselves. And by abiding to MWG standards, everyone doesn't have to reinvent the wheel and come up their own set of common metadata properties. Here is a link to the MWG Guidelines: http://www.metadataworkinggroup.org/pdf/mwg_guidance.pdf My thoughts are to also include support for reading proprietary metadata from ACDSee, as there appears to be a lot of requests from users of that Windows app to migrate to a Free Software alternative. Volunteers? Cheers, Alan On Thu, Mar 19, 2015 at 10:19 PM, Jim Nelson j...@yorba.org wrote: Alan, I would like to ask if I should jump and provide patches for MWG composite tag functions in gexiv2? That would be great. I agree with your comment there, this seems to be a no-brainer. My coding skills are quite basic, but this work looks like a reasonable match for me. I would need a bit of help with some of the more complex data conversions. Is this something likely to be incorporated on a timely basis? Are there resources available to test my work? Unfortunately, the time I can offer toward gexiv2 is extremely limited. If you need help, I would recommend reaching out to other contributors (either directly or on the gexiv2 mailing list) for guidance. In particular, the GIMP project may be interested in your work, now that GIMP has a hard dependency on gexiv2. Michael Natterer and Jehan Pages are the first people I would contact. I have gone ahead and added a couple of fields to the existing set_comment function in gexiv2. I'll take a look at your patch. -- Jim ___ gimp-developer-list mailing list List address:gimp-developer-list@gnome.org List membership: https://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gimp-developer-list List archives: https://mail.gnome.org/archives/gimp-developer-list

We have to learn some detail before installation approval for Gimp software. If you you are not related person, can you direct it to related person? you have reached a mailing list, so this will be available to everyone who is interested. Now let's see... 1) How the program will be established (CD, *.iso, *.exe, URL etc.)? Depends on the platform - the choices imply that you are using a Microsoft Windows platform, so *.exe is probably what you want. The downloads are at http://www.gimp.org/downloads/ 2) The program runs on the server? Or just making installation on the client PC is enough? GIMP can certainly run on a server, but the usual installation method is on client PCs. 3) What are the requirement for the program will be installed in server and / or PC? (for example: Internet Explorer version must be xxx, for opening documents Foxit / Acrobat Reader version must be xxx, * .iso / *. Exe file as the file to open the installation will be required as prerequisites Is there a tool or software, if the installation will make with * .iso / *. exe file do we need extra tool or software as prerequisites, etc.)? I can't think of any special requirements here. 4) How will licensing? User-based licensing or? Which has been received as the number of licenses such simultaneous use? For example: 4 given license, a person who will use as 5th person, somebody have to be close the program? This is easy - GIMP is licensed under the GNU GPL, and this license puts no restrictions on usage: https://www.gnu.org/copyleft/gpl.html Note that you can be required to pay attention to its terms regarding distribution, see https://www.gnu.org/licenses/gpl-faq.html#InternalDistribution 5) Can the program be installed by a normal user? Or need to give admin rights? No, a normal user can't install the program- the installers available from http://www.gimp.org require admin rights (again, assuming this is about a Windows platform) 6) Did the program run with admin rights? It doesn't admin right to be run, but it can be run with admin rights (no sure if I get that questions correctly). 7) İs there any problem for running with McAfee? None that we know of. 8) İs there any particular security needs (will software need given special permission on pc firewall, corporate firewall, proxy etc.) for during usage or making license activation or update? Not really - you might want to make sue that the online help is accessible unless you plan to install that locally, but that is just HTTP on standard ports. 9) How we can update ( from internet, will you make it, etc.) the software? The usual method is to download from http://www.gimp.org/downloads/ 10) In order to run the software, do we need to install additional tool or software? No. -- Regards, Michael GPG: 96A8 B38A 728A 577D 724D 60E5 F855 53EC B36D 4CDD ___ gimp-developer-list mailing list List address:gimp-developer-list@gnome.org List membership: https://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gimp-developer-list List archives: https://mail.gnome.org/archives/gimp-developer-list
[Gimp-developer] Huge performance improvement idea
Greetings from Chandana, I have an idea that can make a huge impact on performance increase on GIMP image manipulations. This idea occurred to me when I was working on a large banner which I had to do some experiments (Colour changes, layer movements, Font changes, etc...) The problem was, it took so long time to do even a small change in the image. I do not have huge memory. What I thought was, what if I can 1. Get a copy of the current image (with all layer details) 2. Resize it to a smaller version 3. Do all the modifications I do in the small version 4. Apply all changes I did in the smaller version to the larger version This way, computer resources required are much less than what needed in the original image. We need to implement a way so that GIMP will remember all the modifications we do in the small image and from a single click GIMP should be able to do it to the larger image. Another good version of this idea would be to 1. Create a small image 2. Do whatever we want in to the small image 3. From a single click, GIMP create scaled up image and apply all the things we did to the small image to the large image Please take this idea into consideration.

In fact the workflow you suggest could be made explicitly possible in the future as we move GIMP to a non-destructive editing paradgim using GEGL That will take a lot of time, however - as there is a huge lot of work for such fundamental changes. However, the good news is that the underlying image processing in GIMP - GEGL - was conceived to allow preview renderings - that would behave just like you suggest (working on the zoomed out part of an image as if it were a smaller image, for example) - and just this week Pippin sent an e-mail detailing how the final pieces are being put in place so that this starts working. So - it is not so simple, or explicit for the final users as you have it in your e-mail, but it is basically the same idea - just search the list developer list archives for a message from Øyvind Kolås on March the 18th to see the details. js -- I have an idea that can make a huge impact on performance increase on GIMP image manipulations.
