Well, I'd like to let you know that I've got a dcraw fix (via the hugin
mailing list) which is supposed to solve the problem. I've checked it and
it works for me now. Find the little patch below - in fact it is just one
more check.

However, please note that Ufraw / Ufraw-Gimp come with their own, slightly
modified copy of draw. It is not enough to install a new dcraw, one has to
fix the dcraw copy within the ufraw source package (the section is easy to
find) and rebuild it.

Rgds,
Stephan.

[Gimp-user] Tiff and Ufraw plugin problem

2008-03-12 Thread Stephan Hegel
Hi all,

I've a file here which is identified as an tiff image by Imagemagick's
identify, opens perfectly without any warning in xv, gqview and
cinepaint but when I try to open it in Gimp the Ufraw plugin is launched.

What could Gimp make thinking that this is a raw image file ... any
idea ? Suspicious exif information ?

Rgds,

Re: [Gimp-user] Gimp 2.4.1 problems with openSuse 10.3

2007-11-02 Thread Stephan Hegel
Alex,

All clear.

Thanks for the rpm -q output. Exactly the same like on my box.

Further analysis revealed:
The problem is, that Gimp 2.4.1 tries to convert existing .gimp-2.2
resp. .gimp-2.3 directories to .gimp-2.4. This doesn't seem to be
perfect. My guess (just a guess !): the templates aren't converted
properly, that's why it fails when trying to open a new canvas with
"File->New".

Removing all pre-existing .gimp-2.2 and .gimp-2.3 directories and
letting Gimp create a brand-new .gimp-2.4 directory makes the problem
disappearing.

My configure options are the defaults (incl. python), except that
I've chosen another --prefix.

Kind regards,
  Stephan.

AFAIK, the interpreter has changed. I've found the following on

A document, perhaps as part of the new website, that explains what
needs to be done to fix scripts that fail to run correctly with

Don't know if the mentioned document has been written. However, the

Re: [Gimp-user] GIMP video podcast / screencast

2007-08-18 Thread Stephan Hegel
Hi Rolf,

First, thanks for the nice and educational video tutorials. After watching #1
to #3 I've re-configured The Gimp on my box ... representing now a similar
layout like your's with just one toolbox window open including tabs for other
dialogs like layers, channels, etc. in the lower pane. Neat and less space
consuming.

Also very helpful the hint with the TAB key to hide the toolbox window by
tinkering with the window management settings. Unfortunately this influences
also all other application windows: the Gimp window stays now on top even above
xterm and other applications. An applicable workaround for me: I've created
a new workspace dedicated solely to image manipulation works.

As of the raw images mentioned in the episode #3: unfortunately you didn't
explain in detail how you convert your 12 bit raw images into the 8 bit images.
Just a guess: you did it with the (Windows ?) software which was shipped 
together
with your camera. However, you have asked for a open source or at least a free
tool: dcraw, ufraw (a Gimp plugin and as a stand-alone frontend to dcraw),
rawstudio and Lightzone come to my mind. The latter is Java based and available
for all mentioned OS but AFAIR free for Linux only.

And just in case you should have some more time - Northern Germany is known for
it's long lasting lousy weather ;) - you could make a videocast about how to
make these nice videos. I know, it is not truly Gimp related but could inspire
other folks to provide similar video tutorials. They are much easier to follow
than written tutorials because one can really see what's going on without
digging through the menus.

More feedback after watching episodes #4+.

Keep on going with this nice work - I would really appreciate it.

Kind regards,
  Stephan.

Thanks for the pointer. I've found the explanation in the mailing list

However, I do think the problem itself will be a user issue even when I'm a
bit ahead at the moment and have tried the developer version already. When
you release version 2.4 (or a release candidate of it) the problem will pop
up for users: the new Script-Fu interpreter will lead to unexpected error

Any plans how to avoid this ?

This is exactly what I'm looking for.

Meanwhile I've searched the Web and found a third party plugin at

Thanks, Tom. The point is the empty LD_LIBRARY_PATH variable.

IIUC, in this case the loader is not forced to search for libs in
certain directories. Seems it just uses the lib paths compiled in.
And than it works for me too with multiple Gimp installations
in different locations without using a wrapper. Just the PATH must
be adjusted.

I consider myself belonging to the target audience. And I'm just a user.
Who else shall fetch source code releases ? Developers go straight
for the CVS repository anyway.

There are more people in this thread who state to be just a user and
do install source code releases. When you browse through the threads of
the gimp-user list, there are also discussions about 2.3.x topics which
is available as source code only.

I do install Gimp source releases - on top of my favorite distribution
'cause it contains bug fixes I don't get quickly from the vendor. Or I
like the latest Gimp but the distribution is not maintained anymore and
I don't want to upgrade. Or I want to try brand-new features, e.g. the
object extraction via Siox, etc. All the stuff which is not offered by an
official distribution. I could imagine more use cases like this.

I'm sorry but why should they hate you ? They need the wrapper anyway
as pointed out in the release notes.

There are several other source code releases who provide wrappers to
make sure that the application runs of the box after installation.
They provide additional checks about the environment, check permissions,
make sure that they access the right libraries to avoid unnecessary user
confusion. Examples are Firefox, Thunderbird, the Wine applications,
Tomboy, Beagle (in fact all Mono applications), etc. 

It does not break the mechanism of "configure && make && make install" as
everything could be embedded fully transparent within this procedure,
even the installation of a wrapper. The user even wouldn't notice.

Kind regards,
  Stephan.

You are right: you _should_ read them. But reality is that only a few people do
this. And finally we end up with threads like this where a program even does not
start out of the box 'cause it's grabbing a wrong library.

As I said the wrapper script is not only a problem of the development version,
you need this wrapper also with the stable version of The Gimp when installing
it in a non-standard location. Take an average Windows user: usually he runs an
install.exe, can store the application at any place on his harddisks and at the
end of this procedure the program often is even launched ... Done.

Sorry, but I stick with my opinion that the problem is caused by the

done easily: create a wrapper template, during make or make install replace the
path with the --prefix passed from configure, install it and print a message
where the wrapper is so that the user know what to invoke.

Yes, I've posted a little wrapper by myself - you haven't read the whole
thread carefully, have you ?

Honestly: who is reading release notes ? This assumption is simply far from
reality and real world does not work like this. Users/customers expect from
release notes to get informed about changes, new features, etc. ... but not
that they have to fiddle around with additional wrapper scripts to get the
whole thing up and running. What they expect after installing is that the
program is running out of the box. Right ?

The problem is in the Gimp installation procedure itself ...

Why not install an appropriate wrapper automatically after configure && make
&& make install and just tell the user to add the location of the wrapper to
the PATH environment variable ? Or tell him to call it with the full path ?

This is not only a problem of the development version of Gimp, this would
happen with the stable version of Gimp as well when one decides to install
it to a "non-standard" location.

  Stephan.

Even on my SuSE 10.0, this would cause the same problem as LD_LIBRARY_PATH
does not point to "/opt/gimp-2.3/lib" by default. Therefore the loader
would grab the wrong library again. It's not only a pure Slackware issue.

Hi,

Does this affect the functionality of gimp-2.3 ? In that case
"configure" should not allow a "--prefix=/usr/local/Gimp-2.3".

And: it does not fix the problem what was mentioned on top of
the thread. HTH ? No, it does not help at all.

Re: [Gimp-user] New error with 2.3.11 and 2.3.10

2006-10-27 Thread Stephan Hegel
Hi all,

I've seen this once and IIRC it turned out that my gimp-2.3 tried to load
libgimp / libgimpbase from version 2.2 which is still on the somewhere on
my Linux box.

I fixed this by installing gimp-2.3 completely under /usr/local/Gimp-2.3
and calling it by a little wrapper named gimpdev:

--
#!/bin/sh
LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/local/Gimp-2.3/lib:${LD_LIBRARY_PATH} 
/usr/local/Gimp-2.3/bin/gimp-2.3
--

The key is here that the LD_LIBRARY_PATH variable must point to the right
libs.

Regards,
   Stephan.

Hi,

As Sven mentioned there a couple of those scripts on the web: shell
scripts with embedded script-fu, pure script-fu, etc. Which one are
you using ?

If you use that one posted to
http://www.gimptalk.com/forum/topic/Gimp-Xcf-Image-Viewer-2399-1.html
near the bottom of the page it should be obvious where to replace "png"
with "tif".

ImageMagick simply doesn't implement all features of XCF since XCF is
the native file format of GIMP and only GIMP supports it completely.
If you want to flatten an XCF image or convert it to a different
format, use GIMP for it.

If you need to do this from the command-line, there are a couple of
XCF to PNG converter scripts using the GIMP batch mode. Try to google
for xcf2png.

Use ImageMagick, put all in one directory and:

those are backtics before basename and after jpg.

Re: [Gimp-user] Run GIMP in batch mode ... HOW ?

2006-01-18 Thread Stephan Hegel

Hi,

There is a package called "batchgimp" on freshmeat. Basically it
includes Perl scripts with embedded Script-Fu. I modified and
used it once to convert a bunch of images to the Gimp pattern
format (which cannot be done by Imagemagick, unfortunately).

Another choice could be David's Batch Processor (dbp). It is a
Gimp plugin and can be found at
http://members.ozemail.com.au/~hodsond/dbp.html
It allows preparing and starting predefined batch operations by
using a little GUI.

Regards,
  Stephan.

No, this is not _the_ way for this simple task. The approaches with
the ImageMagick tools are much more simple and easier to handle.
And: ImageMagick is part of many Linux distributions.

So, really no need to dig into Script-Fu for this ...

[Gimp-user] Gimp-2.3.4 problems

Hi all,

I've installed gimp-2.3.4 right now and met another problem: all pull-down
and pop-up menus do have a black background. Black fonts on black background
is hard to read, I'm sure.

Within the terminal a few message like this pop up:

(gimp:23382): Gdk-WARNING **: gdk_window_set_back_pixmap(): pixmap must
have a colormap

Any idea what went wrong here ?

glib is 2.8.2
gtk+ is 2.8.3

Re: [Gimp-user] Anti-Vignetting

Hi all,

If vignetting is perfectly radial, panotools is easy to setup and use.
Bruno's tip with the gradient layer can fix even more difficult problems,
e.g. when too dark areas aren't radial. Needs a bit more effort, though.
Sven's idea sounds interesting but I haven't tried yet. I will keep this
in mind.

Thanks for all tips & kind regards,

Recently I had to deal with a couple of images with signifcant
