[Gimp-user] Gimp - gimpshop - newbie
Hi I have installed ports/gimpshop on my fFreebsd 6.1 system. I want to compare its functionality with photoshop with which I am extremely familar and use extensively on my Win XP system. I have started gimp and have two newbie questions. 1. How do I get to start gimpshop? The docs seem to have detailed documentation but although I have searched much head scratching -- I seem unable to find a page that tells me how to get gimpshop running :-( 2. I found that gimp will itself will open *.jpg but does not open raw files - In my case in need to be able to open canon raw files *.cr2 and would also like to be able to open photoshop *.psd files. Here is a list of the relevant gimp packages installed and OS version info: # pkg_info |grep gimp gimp-2.2.15,2 The meta-port for The Gimp gimp-help-0.12 GIMP user's manual gimp-print-4.2.7_3 GIMP Print Printer Driver gimpshop-2.2.11_5 GIMP fork resembling Adobe Photoshop # uname -a FreeBSD --- 6.1-RELEASE FreeBSD 6.1-RELEASE #0: Sun May 7 04:15:57 UTC 2006 [EMAIL PROTECTED]:/usr/obj/usr/src/sys/SMP amd64 Thanks in advance david ___ Gimp-user mailing list Gimp-user@lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU https://lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU/mailman/listinfo/gimp-user
[Gimp-user] What tablet provides pressure sensitivity when used with Gimp-Stable on Windows?
All, I own a Wacom 12 Serial tablet. When using the current Windows Gimp, I need to disable GTK tablet recognition thus effectively disabling Pressure Sensitivity in Gimp (this is a known problem with Windows GTK). So what tablet(s) can a Windows user use with the Gimp and retain pressure sensitivity (Tilt and erase would be nice as well!)?

Not sure how well GimpShop will run on FreeBSD. I don't know anything about FreeBSD, myself (I am running Ubuntu Dapper), but I wonder if GimpShop and and the Gimp 2.2.15 it looks like you installed will have a conflict. On windows, GimpShop has been pretty much a bugfest, at Gimptalk, we always tried to steer people away from it, because many complained about its instability, not to mention the fact that asking for help in it's use was rather confusing, since it uses a different menu setup than the regular Gimp. I know I tried it at one point, because it would install without admin privelages on the computers where I work. It ran for about a day, then would just open and crash immediately afterwards. I got rid of it. Also, not sure what version of Gimp this latest GimpShop is based on, it most likely isn't the latest stable version. For the longest time, it was based on Gimp 2.2.8. As for Canon RAW files, that's a tricky question. For starters, Gimp, and most likely, by extension, GimpShop, only supports 8 bit color, so even if you can open a RAW file in Gimp/GimpShop, you aren't going to get all the information. However there is a standalone program, UFRAW, that also can be used as a Gimp plug-in which will load the files and allow some manipulation. I am not sure how the plugin will work with GimpShop. There is also DigiKam, which, with appropriate plugins, can handle Canon RAW files. I have a Rebel XT and this is what I use when I want to mess with RAW files. --- David Southwell [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Hi I have installed ports/gimpshop on my fFreebsd 6.1 system.

[Gimp-user] What tablet provides pressure sensitivity when used with Gimp under Linux?
This is a logical (?) follow up on Sam Stern's question for Windows. Is there a good (prefarably large) tablet to use with Linux that provides most if not all functionalities?

(Eraser/pressure etc.) The Wacom Intuos tablets provide all you want, and in fact more, since tilt is not recognized by most software products. They come from A6 to A3 wide, and are very well handled with GNU/Linux, thanks to the Linuxwacom project.

If so, how to enable this? Serial tablets were even easier to setup than USB have been for some time as there was less software wanting to take part compared to what happens now (no serial level driver required while usb does, and no udev like is typical now), and they worked for all basic features. Single one I remember not getting was the top buttons (16 programable areas in top edge and two to change pressure response) which probably were just implemented at the driver level. But pressure, tilt and so on, pretty good. OTOH, I remember having some issues with NT driver, and Wacom's reply was that it had to be that way (it was long time ago, sorry for the lack of details... I remember placing it with the why do I have to reboot for this issues tho), no idea if it changed with 2000, etc as that tablet has been Linux only since.

It deals with serial tablets as well and everything is explained in detail there. Even an extra section is spend on how to enable this in The Gimp. So, why didn't you check this out ?
