Re: [Gimp-user] Gimp 2.2.17 Crash During File/Open.

I know this version is a little old, but I don't have any control over updating the installation. My problem is related to gimp (2.2.17). I can start gimp from an nfs export with no problems. I get the GUI, but when I select file/open, the application crashes with the following error: I had the same problem, some GIMP versions (but not others) would crash when using the File open menu. I solved it by deleting the appropriate *.so in that GNOME dir. In fact I had two similar segfault crashes and moved two *.so. Here's what got moved: /usr/lib/gstreamer-0.10-inactive: libgstvideomixer.so /usr/lib/inactive: libtrackerclient.so.0@ libtrackerclient.so.0.0.0 Note that the gstream and other dirs are searched recursively, you need to move things outside, it is not sufficient to just mkdir inactive mv offender.so inactive/. in that dir.

Re: [Gimp-user] sharpening
Norman Silverstone wrote on Mon, Jul 27, 2009 at 06:47:26PM +0100: Quite some time ago a method for sharpening was given here and which I have enjoyed using. Unfortunately, I have lost my notes and I would be grateful if the method could be posted again, please. For things like eye popping and enhancement of fur patterns the probably most popular method is unsharp mask. The default values are pretty good (although you might want to overdo the intensity and then use layer opacity to adjust later). If you get color casts at the edges, decompose into HSV and only sharpen the V (value) channel, then recompose. If you do partial sharpening in soft selections many people feather the selection at the edges to blend in before copying the section to a new layer for sharpening. Myself, I prefer to sharpen in a non-feathered selection and then I use the erasor with a soft brush to blend in the edges. It's like interactive feathering. Be warned that the edge softness doesn't always react well with layer opacity adjustment, much less duplication of the sharp parts layer. Hope this helps.
