Re: [Gimp-user] What is the best white balance script/plugin?
Ken Warner wrote: I need to white balance some panoramas shot under high frequency florescent light. I've googled around. Apparently there is a bunch of scm around. Which is the best? The way I would *like* to do it is to use the color picker and select the white object in the panorama and say go. Why don't you just use Gimp's 'Colors Levels'? There's exactly the kind of color picker you would like to have. You can select both black white point, you have the option 'auto', you can apply 'Levels' to one specific channel, etc. Claus -- Claus Cyrny : Webdesign | Grafik | Fotografie :: Web: http://home.arcor.de/ccyrny/ ::. :: Fotos: http://photo.net/photodb/slideshow?folder_id=714471 ::. ___ Gimp-user mailing list Gimp-user@lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU https://lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU/mailman/listinfo/gimp-user

[Gimp-user] Gimp 2.6.1 on Ubuntu 8.10
Hi, I'm posting this again, since I really would like to check out the new features in Gimp 2.6. As I posted a few weeks ago, Gimp 2.6.1 crashes each time I try to perform a filter, color adjustment, etc., so that I had to install 2.4.7 in order to have a working bitmap editor. This happened since I upgraded to Ubuntu 8.10. Someone suggested that it might have to do with my outdated hardware (AMD K6 II/350 MHz), but since I don't have the money right now to buy a new computer, I would like to know if anyone has an idea what I could do to fix this problem. When running Gimp out of a shell, I am getting: (script-fu:5142): LibGimpBase-WARNING **: script-fu: gimp_wire_read(): error Illegal instruction My guess is that it might have to do with GEGL, but on the other hand I am assuming that Synaptic would automatically install all the required packages. (I don't want to have to compile anything; if there's a fix for it I need to install additional packages, I would prefer .deb files.) I did have the latest 'libgimp' installed (I downgraded to the version for Gimp 2.4.7 in the meantime), and I am not using compiz (as Chris asked me the last time I posted on this.) Especially after reading this very good thorough review of Gimp 2.6, I would like to check out the Gimp's new possibilities. Two thing I am personally missing are a) 16-bit support, as well as b) better anti-aliasing. While there are workarounds to improve the latter, Gimp still doesn't output the quality of say, Photoshop. I especially become aware of this when using curves to get a chromium effect, or applying 'Lighting Effects', where I am frequently getting 'stripes' instead of smooth gradients. I don't know, though, how much this has been improved upon in Gimp 2.6.

I may have missed earlier discussion on this, but are you using GIMP 2.6.x? If so, were did you get Gimp-Perl for it? I've tried the one from the download site for 2.2 but it doesn't compile. Or is this the net-fu package? No, I am not. I am using 2.2 because I am running on CentOS and upgrading to 2.6 would require installing a head-spinning number of packages unsupported for the distro. I got scared and ran away. :-) ___ Gimp-user mailing list Gimp-user@lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU https://lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU/mailman/listinfo/gimp-user
Re: [Gimp-user] Forking with exit main()
For posterity: this worked beautifully, with one modification:
This is what I will be doing to use Gimp in modperl:
unless( fork()){
Gimp::on_net(\do_stuff);
CORE::exit main()
}else{
wait();
find_the_generated_image();
finish_responding_to_web_request();
};
The only problem with the whole thing is that I have to write a file to
disk in order to pass the data to gimp. Nothing too terribly wrong with
that, but it does feel a little silly! :-)

[Gimp-user] Scaling image via the command line
Hi, I wish to scale the 6MP images from my camera to a smaller size say 600x800 to be loaded into my phone. How can this be done via command line ? What are the switches (and arguments) to be used ? I have hundreds of images to be scaled. doing this with the GUI is impractical. I have GIMP on Linux and Windows. I am reasonable linux literate . I work on it for a living.

[Gimp-user] Gimp 2.6.1 on Ubuntu 8.10
Hi, I'm posting this again, since I really would like to check out the new features in Gimp 2.6. As I posted a few weeks ago, Gimp 2.6.1 crashes each time I try to perform a filter, color adjustment, etc., so that I had to install 2.4.7 in order to have a working bitmap editor. This happened since I upgraded to Ubuntu 8.10. Someone suggested that it might have to do with my outdated hardware (AMD K6 II/350 MHz), but since I don't have the money right now to buy a new computer, I would like to know if anyone has an idea what I could do to fix this problem. When running Gimp out of a shell, I am getting: (script-fu:5142): LibGimpBase-WARNING **: script-fu: gimp_wire_read(): error Illegal instruction My guess is that it might have to do with GEGL, but on the other hand I am assuming that Synaptic would automatically install all the required packages. (I don't want to have to compile anything; if there's a fix for it I need to install additional packages, I would prefer .deb files.) I did have the latest 'libgimp' installed (I downgraded to the version for Gimp 2.4.7 in the meantime), and I am not using compiz (as Chris asked me the last time I posted on this.) Especially after reading this very good thorough review of Gimp 2.6, I would like to check out the Gimp's new possibilities. Two thing I am personally missing are a) 16-bit support, as well as b) better anti-aliasing. While there are workarounds to improve the latter, Gimp still doesn't output the quality of say, Photoshop. I especially become aware of this when using curves to get a chromium effect, or applying 'Lighting Effects', where I am frequently getting 'stripes' instead of smooth gradients. I don't know, though, how much this has been improved upon in Gimp 2.6. TIA, Claus Hi, This is only a suggestion but, in my experience with graphics programs (which not that extensive), installing more RAM is a relatively cheap way of getting a significant boost to performance. Hope this helps Roy -- Roy S. ___ Gimp-user mailing list Gimp-user@lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU https://lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU/mailman/listinfo/gimp-user
Re: [Gimp-user] Scaling image via the command line
I would use ImageMagick for this instead of the GIMP. $ convert -resize 600x800 source-image dest-image or $ mogrify -resize 600x800 image-to-change-in-place That's width x height, btw, which would usually be 800x600 instead of 600x800...

Re: [Gimp-user] Attach Gimp file in to Blender
Well...perhaps you already know this, but when you load a graphic file in Blender, you do have the option of packing it and making it part of the .blend file. But now, Gimp doesn't save native .blend format files. --- On Sat, 1/24/09, Claus Cyrny claus.cy...@web.de wrote: From: Claus Cyrny claus.cy...@web.de Subject: Re: [Gimp-user] Attach Gimp file in to Blender To: Michael J.
