[Gimp-user] Gimp Documentation
Is it possible to download the Gimp Documentation so that I can have it locally instead of having to go online for it? At least I think it's going online each time you open documentation.

[Gimp-user] Sampling Toned Images
I was following a tutorial on Gimp Guru's I think it was, on copying tones from a sample image to your own. However, when I went to (Colors?/Map/Sample Colorize) and looked for the sample image in the drop down box, it wasn't there. I don't know how to get it into the drop down box for selection. Can anyone provide some help with this? Or maybe you might be able to instruct me in this whole procedure or direct me to another tutorial that can.

I have the same version as you do. What I did was save a sample file from the site I was on to use in my learning. All I did was save it in the same directory as my own image but maybe I need to store that sample image in a specific location in order to access it for this purpose? -Bryan -- Bryan (via www.gimpusers.com) ___ Gimp-user mailing list Gimp-user@lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU https://lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU/mailman/listinfo/gimp-user

I opened my image, then I opened the sample tone image. They are now in 2 separate image panes, so to speak. I positioned them side by side. Then in my own image I go to Colors/Map/Sample Colorize and a Sample Colorize view opens up. In that view I see on the left side is my original image described as the "Destination Image". On the right side is what is described as the "Sample Image" but it shows my image in that one too. If I open up the drop down selector above the sample image, the only choices I have are My own image file name, or From Gradient, or From Reverse Gradient. How would I select the Sample Image which I opened as step two and is actually in a different window next to my original image? Sorry, I probably made this very confusing and I truly appreciate your patience for a rookie like me. -Bryan - - - - - - - - -- Bryan (via www.gimpusers.com) ___ Gimp-user mailing list Gimp-user@lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU https://lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU/mailman/listinfo/gimp-user

It's not a GIF but rather it's a png. The guy that made the tutorial offered these images with different tones that anyone could use. But they are png's and that isn't working. I tried just another raw file and when I did the Sample Colorize routine, in the sample section, my other raw file showed up like it should. So now I need to hunt down some sample files I can use. I wonder why he would have offered png files if they don't even work for the routine for which he was trying to teach. Maybe there is something I missed in there. -Bryan > > > -- Bryan (via www.gimpusers.com) ___ Gimp-user mailing list Gimp-user@lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU https://lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU/mailman/listinfo/gimp-user
[Gimp-user] Another Gimp/UFRaw topic
For starters, is there any good reason why UFRaw should be used for anything other than opening a RAW file before transporting it to Gimp? What I really wanted to ask was, Why, when open up an image in UFRaw and it looks great, even when zoomed in as much as allowed. However, when you sent it to Gimp via UFRaw, when you zoom into even a small amount the image is very pixelated. When or how did it become downsized or some sort of processing that might cause this to happen? Is it possible to bring in a RAW file and retain it's sharpness? Thanks for anyone's help in regards to this. -- Bryan (via www.gimpusers.com) ___ Gimp-user mailing list Gimp-user@lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU https://lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU/mailman/listinfo/gimp-user

I'm shooting in RAW and so I'm opening up a RAW file with UFRaw because without opening the file first with UFRaw, I can't get it into into Gimp for Post Processing. I hope I'm right so far. Well, after opening the RAW file in UFRaw and whether I perforn any adjustments or not in UFRaw, if I hit OK to send it to Gimp isn't it still a RAW file when it's in GIMP or has UFRaw converted it to a jpg automatically and that is why the image looks crappy in GIMP, particulairly when zoomed in on? Isn't there is only a relatively small amount of things you can do to an image in UFRaw? Which is why you'd want to get that RAW file to GIMP to be able to really do some post processing because there is only so much you can do to a jpg? -- Bryan (via www.gimpusers.com) ___ Gimp-user mailing list Gimp-user@lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU https://lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU/mailman/listinfo/gimp-user
[Gimp-user] B&W Tone Adjustments
In a photo book I was reading of some ways to process a black and white photo. This particular book was using Photoshop, as most do. There was a particular procedure that PS is capable of and I was wonder if that capability exists in GIMP as well. What they would do to adjust the tone for a particular color range was, in stead of using slide bars, they would click and hold in an area of which they wanted to adjust an hold down shift I believe it was, and then at the same time drag the cursor either to the right for brighter or left for darker. Of course this procedure changed everything in the photo with that same color range. Does anyone know if this can be done in GIMP? -- Bryan (via www.gimpusers.com) ___ Gimp-user mailing list Gimp-user@lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU https://lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU/mailman/listinfo/gimp-user

[Gimp-user] editing multiple video frames
Hi, I'm trying (unsuccessfully) to edit/remove a logo from an animation-frames sequence using GIMP + GAP. How is it possible to perform editing operations on multiple frames at once? I want to "fill with background" a static selected region in all frames in the sequence but I can find no way to do this automatically. Must I really load, manually edit and re-saving each frame individually!? Id anyone knows how to do this, please let me know. thanks, Bryan PS. yes, I am the copyright holder of the animation! ___ Gimp-user mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.xcf.berkeley.edu/mailman/listinfo/gimp-user
