You better just wait for 2.4 and a few weeks more to give the
gimp-docs team a chance to update the documentation.

In 2.3.7 I don't see a softproof filter. Do I need 2.2.x. to use
it?

Re: [Gimp-user] two-page tiffs

The short answer, you don't (at least I couldn't figure out how).  To  
work around this limitation I used tiffutil under OS X.  I lost some  
tag information and the process is a pain in the neck, but it  
worked.  Command sequence on OS X:


for i in $(jot $(tiffinfo array.tif | grep -c TIFF ) 0) ; do
  tiffutil -extract $i array.tif -out array.$i.tif
  # resize array.$i.tif with the gimp
  # save as array.$i.400x524.tif
done
tiffutil -cat array.*.400x524.tif -out array.400x524.tif

To see the smaller two-page tiff:

   http://cwelug.org/~rwcitek/array.400x524.tif

 400 x  524 =  0.42 MB
2738 x 3586 = 40.00 MB

That's a sizable difference.

BTW, the image is a scan from a two-color microarray scanner.  The  
images are scans of a glass slide with literally thousands of dots of  
DNA.  One image is the scan at one wavelength, while the other image  
is the scan of the exact same slide at a different wavelength.  Of  
course, now it would be nice to take the two images, false-color one  
blue, the other gold, and then overlay them.  Where the dots line up  
it will be green (blue + gold = green).  But I don't know how to do  
that, yet.

Enlarge canvas (RightClick on image > Image > Canvas Size , unlock vertical 
and horizontal sizes and double horizontal measure), then move on layer

or
Move one layer aside to fit your needs, then RightClick on image >Image> Fit

Have you tried pyGtk?  I have these packages installed on my system:

[Gimp-user] two-page tiffs

2006-02-23 Thread Robert Citek


How does one create or save a two-page tiff with the GIMP?

I'm running Gimpshop 2.2.10 on OS X 10.4.5 and am able to open a two- 
page tiff file created by a scanning application.  Each page of the  
tiff loads into a separate layer and I'm able to save the loaded tiff  
as an .xcf file.  However, if I try to re-save the image as tiff,  
gimpshop "flattens" the layers into a single layer.


I'd like to edit this tiff file and save as a two-page tiff.  Can  
this be done with the GIMP?  Is there an option I'm overlooking or a  
plug-in I'm missing?


Pointers to the appropriate sections in the docs or pointers to  
working examples are much appreciated.

The "Correct->Radial Luminance" filter of Panorama Tools could be

Hi

1 - Make a circular slection
2 -  Feather selection by 500 pixels
3 -  Inver it ctrl + i
4 -  Adjust  levels

Either link /usr/share/gimp/2.0/help into the /opt prefix or set the

That is possible. You can already do that in GIMP 2.2, but I admit
that using the Softproof filter in 2.2 is somewhat tedious. This will
be improved in 2.4. It allows you to work in RGB but the screen (if
properly calibrated using a monitor profile) will show you what the
print will look like, taking the printer color profile into
account. And that is indeed the workflow everyone is converting to
nowadays. It really doesn't make much sense to work in CMYK except for
special tasks like using spot colors.
