[Gimp-user] enhancement idea for the GIMP
Hi, I'm new to the GIMP (but familiar with Photoshop) and have found the GIMP to be really good :-) Here's an idea how to make it better: Rather than a simple stack of layers, have a graph of image objects, similar to the OOPS Schematic in Blender (http://www.tncci.com/blender/oops.jpg). This would allow layers/masks/channels/etc. to be referenced (hard-linked) rather than having to copy them. For example: multiple image layers (some in normal mode, some in overlay, hard light, etc.) each with the same layer mask. Currently, to update the masks, I'd have to change one mask and manually update each of the other masks. With a graph, each image layer would hard-link to one actual mask, and not need manual updating for any changes. (These hard-links could be broken, making an actual copy, if needed.) This approach might also: * Provide a mechanism that would help match and beat Photoshop's "adjustment layers" and "layer groups" features. * Reduce .xcf file size (no redundant copies of layers). Of course a graph is a more complicated interface than the simple layer stack, so it might be useful to implement the graph with an interface like the current layer stack, giving each layer/mask/channel a menu option to choose an object to hard-link to. It occurs to me that the eventual move to GEGL/GGGL might do some or all of this - is that right? What do you think? Cheers, Dave. Disclaimers: * I have pretty much zero knowledge of how the GIMP actually works, so accept that this could clash horribly with how the GIMP is currently programmed. * It seems pretty likely that this has been thought of before, but I thought I'd pitch in anyway. -- Take back the web: http://www.switch2firefox.com/ I support http://www.waronwant.org/ and http://www.eff.org/ - Do you?

RE: [Gimp-user] GIMP hints for astrophotography tweaking
I'm fairely novice at this and this is interesting. Is this right "GAP = Gimp Animation Package". Also could briefly describe how to import multiple images into gimp with the _00X.jpg sequential filenames? Lastly how would you apply gap to change a property for all the layers, 1 expample is probably enough to get me started.

[Gimp-user] Judging panel for splashes
Hi all, The judging panel for the splash contest is Simon Budig, Alan Horkan, Michael Schumacher, Joao Bueno and Adam Moss. Since they were in the first 5 but aren't in the final panel, if there is a need (for whatever reason) for a replacement judge, the replacements are Joseph Heled and Roman Joost. The results will be announced (and the splash committed) before the end of Friday next week (to give the judges time to judge). Many thanks to FlamingText.com and sourcewear.com for offerring to sponsor the competition. Since there can be only one winner, the prize will be a GIMP t-shirt or polo shirt from http://sourcewear.com and FlamingText will surely help us out on another occasion. Thanks to everyone who entered splashes so far (and those who haven't yet but will over the weekend), and to our judging panel for volunteering - I don't envy them ;) Cheers, Dave. -- David Neary, Lyon, France E-Mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] CV: http://dneary.free.fr/CV/ ___ Gimp-user mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.xcf.berkeley.edu/mailman/listinfo/gimp-user

Channels dock, deselect the blue & green channels, and blur/denoise/other (I hope this works...) If it doesn't work, decompose, blur, recompose will work fine, but is a bit painful.
