Re: [Gimp-user] Bit-depth Processing

Yikes, you had a good argument until this bit...

In fact, there are more similarities than differences: o Each has a palette of editing tools on one side of the screen o Each has additional tool palettes on the other side (e.g., layers) o And each has a main image window The UI differences, IMO, are minor: o Distinct windows for palettes and image window o Options moved from top of window to below editing tools o Image window enhanced with its own menu bar.

Does this also mean that if you write text on image (like your jpeg Canon photos) then they can't be printed properly? Point #1 is almost accurate. The true part: GIMP does not natively support CMYK yet. It will in time, and there is a plug-in if you truly need CMYK separations. The false part: you can't use GIMP to prepare for printing. You certainly can, but be aware of the RGB-CMYK translation process - eg, there is no way to print the color #FF in CMYK. Point #2 is pretty much FUD. I occasionally convert something to CMYK in PS just to check the shift, but if you are a graphics professional [sic] you should already be aware of the RGB colors that exist outside of CMYK color space and avoid them. A cheap inkjet printer will show you the result of converting your RGB to CMYK if you really need to know - and this type of proof (a hard proof) is more accurate anyway, owing to the fact that all monitors operate on the principal of additive light (hence RGB), and most printers operate on subtractive light (thus CMYK). A soft proof can easily[1] be obtained by using imagemagick[2]. Short answer: I doubt you need CMYK. You certainly won't be prevented from printing your photos by not using it. Many desktop printers expect RGB input these days[3]. Chris I would expect that flesh tones would give the most trouble in converting from RGB to CMYK . Among free software programs Krita, TeX, Cinepaint and Scribus handle CMYK natively, and all but TeX can use ICC color profiles. Gimp and Inkscape don't yet, and that limits their acceptablity in the publishing world despite their other excellent features. Book designers want CMYK plus ICC profiles and won't consider a product that lacks that capability for color work. The free programs listed above that most closely approximate Gimp are Cinepaint (a Gimp offshoot0, and Krita. But neither has the range of other features offered by Gimp. and Krita only runs under the KDE desktop found on many Linux systems. KDE Libraries, not desktop. You do not have to run the desktop actively to use the program. Please be clear about that, or you will be spreading misinfo. Krita is great, and going to be amazing, but right now, it fails on the basics. The developer is incredible, but has worked on some very high-end functionality, but not so much on the basic stuff like workflow, GUI design, ease of use and basic tools.

But a more direct alternative in terms of replacing Gimp functionality is Krita, part of the Koffice site but not normally distributed with it. Krita is buggier than a summer picnic and crashes are frequent. But development is proceeding rapidly and the feature set is already impressive. It calls itself a painting and image editing program, which is Gimp territory to be sure. And one of the principal developers asked me what plug ins I especially liked in Gimp, to give him some rainy day projects. And it already has CMYK and CMS profiles. By no means am I ready to jump ship. But I keep my eyes on these other alternatives. Gimp either meets the DTP challenge or will have to face a Photoshop port or clone someday. And keep an eye on Krita. Totally agree with this post.

Bad in this case means, that i've got good resolution and good results concerning the light, but a bad sharpness. My idea is, that if i've got a good resolution, what the fact is, there must be a way to sharpen it. Isn't it? As example you can take the following picture: http://www.rustedt.de/fileadmin/_temp_/Photo-0036.jpg It's blurred, no sharpening can fix that. AFAIK, there are no good methods to fix blurring, short of a tripod :-( Or ditching that case...that thing vibrates the space-time continuum. ___ Gimp-user mailing list Gimp-user@lists.xcf.berkeley.edu http://lists.xcf.berkeley.edu/mailman/listinfo/gimp-user
