Re: [Gimp-user] Can't get this image sharp with GIMP. Any suggestions?

2005-11-01 Thread Tim E. Jedlicka - wrk
gimp wise you could try Filters-Unsharp Mask.

But as for the camera - I couldn't tell from the sample pic if it is a focus 
problem. Is it focusing someplace else - easier to tell if there is more depth 
in the photo. Take a snap of a brick wall from an angle, or snap a photo of 
some stairs.

Is it a dirty lens? Take it into your local camera shop and ask them to clean 
the lens for you (should be free).

If you have the f-stop and shutter speed of the photo that would also help.

[Gimp-user] jpeg save settings

2005-10-01 Thread Tim E. Jedlicka - wrk
I've seen several debates about using the default jpeg quality setting when 
saving, but how about the DCT Method? The default is Integer. I've always 
bumped it up(?) to Floating Point on the assumption that it is better and 
only increases CPU usage. The file size of the floating point DCT was actually 
smaller than the Integer one (at least on my one test image). Is Integer DCT 
default a hold over from the days of slower CPUs or are there machines out 
there where using floating point is a noticeable performance hit?

[Gimp-user] select rect snap to corner

2005-07-10 Thread Tim E. Jedlicka - wrk
I'm trying to use the Select Rectangle with a fixed aspect ratio. I would 
like it to snap to the corner of the image/layer. I have snap to guides set,
but apparently the edges of an image don't have default guides. Is there a 
way to easily accomplish this?

I'm usually trying to crop a 4x6 image down to 
3.5x5 maximizing as much of the original image as possible.

Thank you for a wonderful program.

Re: [Gimp-user] Making GIMP a little more tablet friendly, maybe?

2005-06-23 Thread Tim E. Jedlicka - wrk

  Sven One is the user point of view: a cluttered preferences
  Sven dialog makes it very hard to locate the option you are
  Sven looking for.

Is a compromise possible? Looking at how firefox handles this,
there are menu based preferences, and then there are customizations via 
about:config. about:config is even somewhat searchable/filter-able. If 
something like this was implemented then gimp could vouch/test the menu 
options, but if you invoke a customization then Your Kilometage May Vary.

Then we could argue whether an option should be a preference or a 
customization.
