[Gimp-user] unknown software exception
I just installed gimp 2.6 on my windows 2000 machine, but the program is inherently instable and is not able to run longer than 5 seconds before it crashes and disappears. Most of the time it already crashes at startup; if not it crashes as soon as you click a button or menu item. The error message is always something like unknow software exception at blah blah blah 2.4 has the same behaviour, only 2.0 runs without problems. On my other machine, also windows 2000, gimp 2.6 runs without problems. Anyone an idea what I can do about it? Is there some error log in the gimp, which I can check on dll's causing the problem? ___ Gimp-user mailing list Gimp-user@lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU https://lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU/mailman/listinfo/gimp-user

If you still have 2.0 or 2.2 there, you probably installed gtk+ separately, which could be in a pretty old version by now. Could you try completely uninstalling the old GIMP and the old GTK+ libraries before installing the current version of GIMP? Also other people might be able to help further if that error message mentions more details about where exactly the error occurs.

[Gimp-user] unknown software exception
Hi Daniel, Thanks for answering. Could you try completely uninstalling the old GIMP and the old GTK+ libraries before installing the current version of GIMP? I did. I completely uninstalled the old version before installing the new, including the old GTK+ which indeed has to be un-installed separately. Also other people might be able to help further if that error message mentions more details about where exactly the error occurs. Yes, it might help me further too :-) Unfortunately, the error message doesn't display further details. Only some hex numbers and the memory location: unknown software exception (0xc08e) occurred at location 0x6e953deb ___ Gimp-user mailing list Gimp-user@lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU https://lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU/mailman/listinfo/gimp-user
[Gimp-user] managing monitor profile
In attempt to get better color fidelity when watching, editing and printing (not myself) photos from my slr camera, I downloaded from manufacturer support site an .icm file for my monitor and I loaded it as monitor profile in preferences|color management. 'Mode of operation' is set to 'color managed display' and 'rgb profile' is set to 'none'. I'm quite concerned because now jpegs from my camera look brighter and less colored (in a wolrd: worse) than before. Since I'm going to edit a lot of them, and the result is going to be different whether I'm loading or not icm monitor profile, what is the right way to go for better color accuracy? Should I load icm profile or not? I'm running gimp 2.4 on debian lenny. I'm not using xcalib or xicc now but loading the icm profile with xicc makes eog display jpegs the same way as gim.

This is called a sample point ;) It's not used for very much at the moment, but it could be useful if you want to keep a look at a point's current color http://docs.gimp.org/en/gimp-sample-point-dialog.html Thanks for the reply. I think that I can use this. -- Paul G. ___ Gimp-user mailing list Gimp-user@lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU https://lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU/mailman/listinfo/gimp-user

Should I load icm profile or not? The display of colors on a monitor depends a lot on the settings (brightness, contrast, color temperature) of your monitor and also on ambient lighting. Thus it does not make much sense to use a monitor profile from the manufacturer. If you are serious about this, you need to calibrate your monitor in your viewing conditions. You need a colorimeter to do this. Sven ___ Gimp-user mailing list Gimp-user@lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU https://lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU/mailman/listinfo/gimp-user

You need a colorimeter to do this. I don't plan to buy a device for monitor calibration. They're not cheap nor supported on linux, and they look like overkill for my purpose: getting acceptable color consistency across different pcs, web galleries and lab prints. I just thought that loading the specific icm profile for my lcd monitor (obtained from the manufacturer) was better than nothing. Of course I also changed lcd osd settings - with almost no ambient light - according to some test charts and images found on the internet. Since pictures looked really different before and after loading the icm profile I don't get what's better for my workflow. Anyway I don't get why it shouldn't make sense using this profile. Shouldn't I get an better result with that? Thanks!
