This is not about "interested". Doing that doesn't make sense in purely technical terms. The PSD plug-in in GIMP just needs to be fixed :) Alex ___ gimp-user-list mailing list List address:gimp-user-list@gnome.org List membership: https://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gimp-user-list List archives: https://mail.gnome.org/archives/gimp-user-list
[Gimp-user] Cursors & Selections
I'm and old Photoshop user (limited experience) from long ago and I'm having trouble understanding the concept behind GIMP cursors and selections. Mainly that there is no general selection cursor like Photoshop has and that all cursors are attached to a function. How can I just select an element, any element, and move it around or make alterations to it? For example, how to make a selection within a layer and then resize it, move it around, or whatever once that element has been made.If I use the tool that created the element, that usually ends up repeating the function and not making the desired adjustments. -- Boxman (via www.gimpusers.com/forums) ___ gimp-user-list mailing list List address:gimp-user-list@gnome.org List membership: https://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gimp-user-list List archives: https://mail.gnome.org/archives/gimp-user-list
[Gimp-user] GIMP changing colors in image.
Hi there. I am probably way in over my head even posting in here. But maybe i get props for trying to learn. I am using GIMP to do some super basic prep for images of my art for online sales. Some images end up being drastically different colors from the original painting and photo file once uploaded into GIMP and then will also save that way when I export tifs as jpgs for web use. I know it's unlikely. But is there a trick or setting to disable that? Is there some basic thing I am missing? Can anyone explain to me what is happening or help me trouble shoot? Thanks so much! I would love to preserve the original color as much as possible. -- NewGirl (via www.gimpusers.com/forums) ___ gimp-user-list mailing list List address:gimp-user-list@gnome.org List membership: https://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gimp-user-list List archives: https://mail.gnome.org/archives/gimp-user-list

If you are taking the photographs of your artwork then it is probably a hardware issue. First, what is the format the camera uses? RAW or possibly jpeg. Going from RAW into Gimp involves a conversion with all sorts of tweaks where colours can be adjusted. Jpeg from a camera on the other hand is most likely RGB colour profile and not all colours are included. Look up color space https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Color_space A fix can be as simple as "auto white balance" in Gimp, but usually more is needed. You should take care about the lighting conditions when the photographs are taken. A bit of reading here: http://www.cambridgeincolour.com/tutorials/white-balance.htm Then the computer display. For best results the monitor should be calibrated. Monitors straight out-of-the-box will have their brightness set too high. There are simple ways to get sensible setting. see: http://www.cambridgeincolour.com/tutorials/monitor-calibration.htm However, all your potential customers will also have their monitors un-adjusted so they will get a wrong impression of your work whatever you do.

There is a steep un-learning curve for ex-PS users. Gimp has its own ways of working, do not expect it to be the same. There is no general selection cursor. The selection tools are in the toolbox and also the menu Tools -> Selection Tools. Choose the appropriate one for your needs. Gimp does not use elements or objects. A selection and the contents of a selected area can be modified separately by any of the transform tools. Say for moving, the selection can be moved using the move tool in selection mode and then following a copy, the contents can be moved, usually by moving a selection layer. Difficult to explain in words, A very slow video demo (7 mins) might help. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CEFf9zOyZdA That is part of a series I made. http://www.gimp-forum.net/Thread-Gimp-selection-tools-for-beginners?pid=296#pid296 -- rich2005 (via www.gimpusers.com/forums) ___ gimp-user-list mailing list List address:gimp-user-list@gnome.org List membership: https://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gimp-user-list List archives: https://mail.gnome.org/archives/gimp-user-list

Re: [Gimp-user] GEGL - run C2g batch in command line
If I am not mistaken, you need to put everything in an XML file as gegl from command line needs an XML file to operate on. Put everything in an XML file and then do the following: gegl file.xml -o output.png. Once you do that I am sure you can figure out how to do that for 10 images. Anyway, that's my understanding. Others may be more helpful to you.
