Thanks Brian. I understand how this forum thing works. your question
gets an answer when people who can answer have the time.
  A good way to describe the border is a barrel that has had the first
scratch of threads being etched into it. then it is cut in half and it is
turned into a ring with the flat part being face down. Like this twisted
into a ring:

****
*|*  Havens|
|   |
|__Photography___|
****


And then I'll put the date that I take the pictures into the middle in a
different font and perhaps a different color as well.

darktable, inkscape, and a watermark

2016-01-18 Thread Michael Havens

I know... that sounds like the beginning of a bad joke!I was looking at the
manual for darktable and see that I can make a watermark with inkscape.
Well, I created the watermark but it isn't how I want it. The way it is now
I have every thing lined up  on it's own individual line. The way I want it
is kinda like my father's great uncle had his seal. His seal was like a rod
that had been stretched out and a spiral put on it. Then that was
encircling the name of his company (from the 1890s) (maybe great-great
uncle). I want the rod thing and then my last name curving along the top of
the inside of the circle along the bottom of the inside of the circle
will be the word 'Photography. and in the middle will be the date.
Could someone tell me what I need to study up on from the inkscape manual
to make this thing??
I have that seal if that makes a difference.

dad I just thought of something. I had my printer plugged into a USB
port and one day it stopped working. I don't know why I did what I did but
I changed the USB port it w\as plugged in to and it came back to life. I
thought the port had died but when I plug thumb drives into it mounts.
Moral of the story try another port for the card reader.

Change the filesystem on sd cards/usb sticks (was- Permissions)

2016-01-18 Thread Michael Havens

I've been thinking of doing this for a while now.
When I first started my journey into *nix I was told  (or I heard someone
telling someone else) that the *nix filesystem (I suppose it was ext3 at
the time (99)) was superior to superior because instead of filling in the
nearest open space with data when it is told to write it scatters the data
around on the disk. Therefore you don't wear out the disk as fast because
you aren't writing to the same spots repeatedly (this has to do with data
fragmentation also). I was thinking it might be a good idea to format sd
cards and  thumb drives to ext3/ext4 for this reason. Is that a sound idea
or am I mistaken?

I guess I could cheat and adjust the exposure value instead of relying on
the .3, .7, or 1 automatic exposure settings. I'll have to lock the tripod
down for that though!

Re: superimpose image

2016-01-11 Thread Michael Havens

I was wondering... would using software to over/under expose an image be
the same as taking 3 images which have been physically altered? Less wear
and tear on the camera is good!

Also, I was watching a tutorial on luminance hdr and in his version the
software had a bunch of variation of an hdr which could be modified. My
version doesn't seem to have that. Is there a setting?

Re: restore with rsync or fix window manager

2016-01-10 Thread Michael Havens

I got the answer to the trailing slash question: the trailing / on the
destination directory makes no difference. Put a / on the source directory
determines whether you copy the source folder and its contents vs. leaving
the / slash and getting only the contents of the source directory (but not
the directory name itself) in the copy.

Re: restore with rsync or fix window manager

2016-01-10 Thread Michael Havens

Hey... how can I rsync just the stuff in a folder.

rsync -auq --include ~/Documents /media/bmike1//Documents

will create a backup of Documents But when I restore it with:

bmike1@MikesBeast ~ $ rsync -aWq /media/bmike1/RedSanDisk/Documents
/home/bmike1/Documents/

it creates a Documents in the Documents directory. Why did it do that. What
command should I have entered?

Re: restore with rsync or fix window manager

2016-01-10 Thread Michael Havens

really? So are you saying that with ubuntu you do not need to have a home
partition?

I did not backup my config files. I only backed-up ~/Documents .
I am considering this as my backup strategy:

 rsync -auq --exclude --delete-excluded (on first run) ~/Pictures/*
--exclude --delete-excluded (on first run) ~/Documents/*
/media/bmike1//Settings
rsync -auq --include ~/Pictures /media/bmike1//Pictures
rsync -auq --include ~/Documents /media/bmike1//Documents

everything except pictures probably will most likely not require much room
so likely I will put them together on one drive.
so I did verify that the problem is my user as I created another account
and logged in and everything is fine

As for your comment to backup my current data there is no need to because
since everything has gone bonkers I haven't created any new files. So after
my fresh install  I'll restore my files with:

rsync -aWq /media/bmike1/RedSanDisk /home/bmike1/Documents

and everything should be fine.

Here is something weird that happened: I was  working on my computer and
had a glass of wine. I then went to bed and woke at like 2AM. After waking
I went into the computer room and had no internet. I went back to bed at
this point to wake at 6 to find I still had no internet. So I called Cox to
hear the familiar 'we don't support Linux but everything is fine on our
end.'  So I restart the computer and internet was back.

I was just going to enter the rsync text
('rsync -aWq /media/bmike1/RedSanDisk /home/bmike1/Documents')
into a terminal ((I verified this goof only affects this user) when I
realized I wasn't sure I had all of the nuances and I wanted to make sure I
got it down right before I really screwed tings up. First: Here is the
directory and file of the backup:

bmike1@MikesBeast ~ $ ls  /media/bmike1/RedSanDisk

Second: the rsync manpage talks about the trailing slash changing the
behavior of the way it copies. I don't understand.

'rsync -aWuq --delete-before /home/bmike1/Documents
/media/bmike1/RedSanDisk'

seems to copy it the way I want. Does the slash affect the way it copies it

I don't understand that. You should have gotten something like this:

So I am thinking I can reformat ~/home too because the settings that are
screwing me up are not preserved because (thankfully) I was only backing up
the Documents directory instead of ALL of /home . Right? I was
wondering with rsync can you select what you restore? If not What I
could do is:
 rsync -auq --exclude --delete-excluded (on first run) ~/Pictures/*
--exclude --delete-excluded (on first run) ~/Documents/*
/media/bmike1/RedSanDisk/
rsync -auq --include ~/Pictures /media/bmike1//Pictures
rsync -auq --include ~/Documents /media/bmike1//Documents

the everything except documents and pictures rsync will most likely not
require much room.

Re: restore with rsync or fix window manager

2016-01-09 Thread Michael Havens

I just learned the -W option is default unless you are transfering over a
network. So the new command  is:

rsync -aq /media/bmike1/RedSanDisk  /home/bmike1/Documents

Hmmm... I was just looking at the '-a' option and see that it does the -D
option (--devices) which man says is 'preserve device files (superuser
only). Does that mean I need to run it as root   and further does it mean I
need to run the backup as root? Then again /home shouldn't have any device
files so I guess the -D option is moot in my case. Could I get an answer in
case I ever want to do a full backup?

let's see I can make it NOT check the newness of the file by removing
the 'u' option so it looks like :

rsync -aWq /media/bmike1/RedSanDisk  /home/bmike1/Documents

So I think that will do it! Am I correct?

Re: restore with rsync or fix window manager

2016-01-09 Thread Michael Havens

Is it as simple as:

rsync -aWuq /media/bmike1/RedSanDisk  /home/bmike1/Documents

I didn't say this before because I thought rsync checked the "newness" of
th file.

restore with rsync or fix window manager

2016-01-09 Thread Michael Havens

You were oh so right Brian. I had changed the window manager in / home. Now
whenever I restore root nothing is fixed. I will NEVER do a dist-upgrade
again. Everytime I have my system crashes! Now I am trying to restore my
home directory which was created with rsync. The exact command was:

rsync -aWuq --delete-before /home/bmike1/Documents /media/bmike1/RedSanDisk

What would the command be to restore My home directory. I figure it is
easier to restore home (which I had just recently update) than to fix the
window manager.

Re: Monitor resoluton

2016-01-08 Thread Michael Havens

this is kinda weird. I upgraded from Mint17.2mate to 17.3 mate. I
worked with it a little and upon my next start up the icons and everything
else was big like the resolution was wrong. Too bad the resolution could
not be changed... don't know why but it couldn't be. So I did a reinstall
of / (just 17) but when I started the computer afterwards the window
manager was not what I expected it to be. I upgraded it but that didn't
help any. I even did a dist-upgrade. If I remember correctly this happened
to me before and another install corrected things. We shall see!

Monitor resoluton

2016-01-07 Thread Michael Havens

I turned my computer off and went to watch tv. I turned my computer on
about 2 hours later and the resolution had changed (I think). This has
happened before and a restart would fix the problem... but not this time.
So I open the control panel and go to 'monitors' and it is set to 640x480.
I think one of those numbers should be 1080 but when I click the arrows to
select another resolution nothing appears, just the option to choose
640x480. Any one know how tofix such a problem? I run ubuntu.
Maybe it has something to do with the dist-upgrade I did the last time I
run the computer.

You know, actually I got a lot of plugins in ~/gimp2.8/scripts that don't

I found a way to super impose an image but it looks tacky.
The method I learned was to open both files and then to select the image
you want to put on the other with fuzzytool. I found that didn't work so I
used the path tool. Well I cut the image out but the paste doesn't look

How do you do this in Gimp now

2016-01-06 Thread Michael Havens

These are instructions for Gimp but they do not work because (I guess) it
was written for an earlier version of Gimp

If we were working in *Adobe Photoshop
*, we
could easily increase the contrast of the image using one of several
different types of adjustment layers. However in GIMP we don't have the
luxury of such adjustment layers. However there's more than one way to skin
a cat and this simple technique for enhancing shadows and highlights offers
a degree of control using the layer opacity control that was applied in the
previous step.


Go to *Layer *> *New Layer* to add a new layer and then press the *D* key
on your keyboard to set the default foreground and background colors of
black and white. Now go to *Edit *>*Fill with FG Color* and then, in
the *Layers
*palette, change the *Mode* of this new layer to *Soft Light*. You can see
the *Mode *control marked in the accompanying image.

Next add another new layer, fill this with white by going to *Edit *> *Fill
with BG Color *and again change the *Mode *to *Soft Light*. You should now
see how these two layers have considerably strengthened the contrast within
the image. You can tweak this though by adjusting the opacity of the two
layers if desired and you can even duplicate one or both of the layers if
you want an even stronger effect.

Now that you know how to create HDR photos in GIMP, I hope you'll *share
your results
*
in the *HDR
Gallery *.


-- 
:-)~MIKE~(-:

here is the full text if needed, ( I don't know where the page I stole it
from is:)

*HDR photography
* has become
very popular over the last few years and I'll show you how to make an HDR
photo in *GIMP * in
this step by step tutorial. If you're not familiar with HDR, the acronym
stands for *High Dynamic Range
* and refers to
producing photos with a wider range of lighting than a digital camera can
currently capture in a single exposure.

If you've ever taken a photo of people stood in front of a light sky,
you'll probably have seen this effect with the people appearing to be well
lit but the sky being near to a pure white.

If the camera produced a photo with the sky appearing with its true color,
you would see that the people in the foreground looked too dark. The idea
behind HDR is to combine the two photos, or indeed many more photos, to
create a new photo with both the people and the sky correctly exposed.

To make an HDR photo in GIMP, you need to download and install the Exposure
Blend plugin produced originally by JD Smith and further updated by Alan
Stewart. This is quite a straightforward plugin to use and can produce a
relatively good result, though it's not as rounded as a true HDR app. For
example, you're limited to just three bracketed exposures, but this should
be sufficient in most cases.

In the next few steps, I'll run through how to install the Exposure Blend
plugin, combine three different exposures of the same shot into one photo
and then tweak the final photo to fine tune the result. In order to make an
HDR photo in GIMP, you'll need to have three bracketed exposures of the
same scene taken with your camera mounted on a tripod to ensure that
they'll align perfectly.


You can download a copy of the *Exposure Blend plugin
* from the GIMP Plugin Registry.

After downloading the plugin, you will need to place it in the *Scripts *folder
of your GIMP installation. In my case, the path to this folder is *C:*
> *Program
Files* > *GIMP-2.0* > *share* >*gimp *> *2.0* > *scripts *and you should
find it to be something similar on your PC.

If GIMP is already running, you'll need to go to *Filters *>
*Script-Fu* > *Refresh
Scripts* before you can use the newly installed plugin, but if GIMP isn't
running, the plugin will automatically install when it's started next.


This step is to simply let the Exposure Blend plugin do its thing using the
default settings.

Go to *Filters *> *Photography *> *Exposure Blend* and the *Exposure
Blend* dialog
will open. As we're going to use the plugin's default settings, you only
need to select your three images using the correct select field. You just
need to click on the button beside the*Normal Exposure* label and then
navigate to the specific file and click open.

You will then need to select the *Short Exposure* and *Long Exposure* images
in the same way. Once the three images are selected, just click the *OK *button
and the Exposure Blend plugin will do its thing.


Once the plugin has finished running, you'll be left with a GIMP document
that consists of three layers, two with layer masks applied, that combine
to produce a complete photo that cove

swapiness

2016-01-05 Thread Michael Havens

I have a small copy n paste txt file for when my hard drive fails
(hopefully in the distant future) so I can get my new hard drive up and
running again as closely similar to the previous drive as possible.
I made the one command up myself and just discovered it does not work. That
command is:

  # Reduce the swap tendency
  cat >> /proc/sys/vm/swappiness < vm.swappiness=10
  eof

with the error of:

   cat: write error: Invalid argument

I have a similar

  sudo cat >> /etc/fstab << eof
  /media/bmike1/entertainment/Pictures /home/bmike1/Pictures none bind 0 0
  eof

which I do not believe was implemented  correctly as when I inspect 'mount'
there does not appear to be the entertainment directory or pictures
directories listed anywhere. So I suppose it is wrong then

I got smart and started it from the command line: Which gave an error
report (below) and spat some thing else out as well. I'm going to try not

I did have hugin installed but the panorama didn't work. When I started it
it would crash.

Re: compile hugin

2016-01-05 Thread Michael Havens

I was searching my computer for a program and happened upon the ideathat
hugin 64 bit might be the problem so I tried to install the 32 bit version.
It wouldn't install as shown below and was wondering what you thought I
could do.

 $ sudo apt-get install hugin:i386

Building dependency tree
Reading state information... Done
Some packages could not be installed. This may mean that you have
requested an impossible situation or if you are using the unstable
distribution that some required packages have not yet been created
or been moved out of Incoming.
The following information may help to resolve the situation:

The following packages have unmet dependencies:
 hugin:i386 : Depends: hugin-tools:i386 (= 2015.0.0+dfsg-0ubuntu2~trusty)
but it is not going to be installed

compile hugin

2016-01-05 Thread Michael Havens

I thought to compile it I would simply have to untar it and then run make
and make install. not so. After it wouldn't  make I found
http://hugin.sourceforge.net/releases/2015.0.0/en.shtml which states,
"

   - An OpenMP capable compiler is strongly recommended. A compiler without
   OpenMP support creates now executable which runs only single threaded.
   - Hugin is now using some C++11 features. If your compiler does not
   support C++11 it provides a fallback to Boost libraries instead.
   - Changes to dependencies
  - lensfun library and all dependencies of this lib are no longer
  needed.
  - sqlite3 is now needed for camera and lens database
  - libfftw3 is optional, but recommended. With libfftw3 the finetune
  feature and align_image_stack show a significant speed up.
  - libvigra >=1.9 is now required (the internal old vigra library has
  been removed from Hugins source code). Check that libvigra is
compiled with
  TIF, JPEG, PNG and *OpenEXR* support (at least the OpenEXR support is by
  default optional and needs to be activated explicitly during compiling of
  libvigra)"

So I "apt-get install openmp*" and then Gosh, I don't know what to do!

Re: multiple photos- making sections lighter

I googled it before but I didn't know what search terms to us. I was
actually looking for something else when I happened upon those pages
looking  up HDR or was it "exposure fusion"? Would you rather I keep
what I find secret?

I do not need panini? I decided to try to build the panini as shown:

but the results were less than impressive:
...
Okay, I found out what is wrong:
a file wasn't created. The instructions say to:

mkdir -p ~/src/pvqt; cd ~/src/pvqt; svn co
https://pvqt.svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/pvqt pvqt.svn; cd pvqt.svn; qmake

but here is what happened when I got to the svn command:

It appears to have moved but I can't find to where it went.
But as it appears I do not need to bother with it!

multiple photos- making sections lighter

2016-01-02 Thread Michael Havens

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KKyQsnwJMrM
go to 18 minutes and 13 seconds-how do  you do it with GIMP?
if you don't want to watch to 18 minutes and 13 seconds  here is the set up:
He took multiple photo of the exact same scene holding a flash over various
sections of his scene to shine light on the area. (he was in the shot) Then
he put the photos on different layers I think I know he then
removed the pixels from the layer on top which were darker.Is that correct?

or else is panini just another program that can be used for scaling batches
of files and so isn't really necessary? didn't we just discuss a batch
scaling program and I learned how to use 'convert' for this purpose. Or am
I (likely) missing something?

which, after it ran, spat out:

Re: bulk scale

2016-01-01 Thread Michael Havens

what is the best photo stitching program. My search revealed many and I was
interested in stitchpanorama but I could not find instructions on how to
install a plugin and I want to hear some opinions on good ones.

I was hoping to find one that would stitch on both axis. (both x and y) The
reason I want to be able to stitch both axes  is so I would be able to
mimic a wide angle lens.

Could I use convert for this purpose too?

Re: bulk scale

2016-01-01 Thread Michael Havens

I just learned that it is possible to deform the original image so that it
will only show as the dimensions specified.

the way the instructions are shown is:

100x200 will create an image with theses dimensions. The original picture
will keep its ratio W/H.100x200\! will also create an image with theses
dimensions, but image inside will be deformed to stick the new dimensions.

Re: bulk scale

2016-01-01 Thread Michael Havens

thanks bo... in my man of convert I couldn't find the word width... so I
found what I was looking for on the web (finally!).
So then I fed the numbers in the way was described and PRESTO it did it!

Imagemagick geometry: 'width'x'height' If you leave one part empty, this
means resize proportional.

Examples:

100x200   # width = 100, height = 200
300x  # width = 300, height = proportional
x300  # width = proportional, height = 300

For example, to resize all PNG images in a directory to 100 pixels
wide and transform them to JPEG:

mkdir thumbnails
for i in originals/*.png; do
  convert $i -resize 100x thumbnails/$(basename $i .png).jpg;
done

So then I fed the numbers in the way was described:

 $ convert '*.JPG[1600x]' test1%03d.jpg

and PRESTO it did it!

Re: bulk scale

2015-12-31 Thread Michael Havens

Okay I just ran the program again except this time gave the 'Y' axis a
value of 1200. (how strange I just scaled an image to find out the
'Y' access was scaling to and discovered it was 1200. I could swear it was
1975 or something similar to that).  Well I guess I'll ask anyways: how do
you scale one axis proportionately to the other.

Okay guys does this look good?

Bulk scale

bmike1,

wizardfromoz 
has just posted a reply to a topic that you have subscribed to titled
"cheesemakers-linux corner".

For those whom are visually challenged, that is, wearing spectacles or
contact lenses and progressively more severe -

The Vinux Project may be of assistance.

Vinux 5.0 was released in November, based on Ubuntu 14.04.3, defaults to
the Unity DE. With the November release, it is also now available with the
Gnome-shell and MATE DEs. My understanding is that you have to install it
and get to the login screen to get the options on desktop environments.

I have already tried the LiveCD option with the Unity default, and it is
very good.

You can visit -

http://vinuxproject.org/downloads

http://wiki.vinuxproject.org/

or SourceForge to obtain.

https://groups.google.com/forum/#!topic/vinux-support/TBV4G90_V1E

... answers questions on how to activate MATE DE.

Be aware that Vinux ships with the Orca Screenreader, and that is enabled
by default to begin when you begin (at least, that is the case Live). If
you do not need that, or it annoys you, you can switch it off, but you may
find it hard to find where.

If that is the case, check with me at Visually Challenged

(NOT here) and I will assist.

1002 Richard S put me on to this some time ago, thanks Richard.

A Happy New Year to all

thanks Matt.  You post as I was typing.
Hows this according to the page you sent and the instructions you sent and
throwing a character from the instructions I found:

for FILE in *.jpg ; do
   NEWFILE=`echo "$FILE" | sed -e 's/.jpg$/_resized.jpg/'`
   convert '*.jpg[1600x0]' *.jpg
   done

Re: bulk scale

2015-12-31 Thread Michael Havens

it is bit more complex than I at first thought so I need to seek more
advice:

So, I am going to put all of the files that need to be resized into their
own folder. Then to accomplish the task I would open terminal and go to the
directory mentioned previously and in it type:

 scaleImage(1600, 0);
 ?>

and that should do the trick?

Re: mouse control is upside down

2015-12-31 Thread Michael Havens

okay, now the mouse is acting normal when I use it against my leg but it
moves slow and jaggedly when I use it on my desk or a piece of paper or on
a book or a folder. How strange and stranger still. I suppose I'll get a
mouse pad?

Re: pdf not printing

2015-12-30 Thread Michael Havens

I don't know... I just discovered another ink well was dry but after I
refilled it the printer still won't print even though all of the indicators
indicate there is ink in the wells. I remember checking  print to file once
but when I go into control center -> printer or +P I can't find the
print to file option to verify it is unchecked.

That is weird! I just found out that the USB port the printer was plugged
into is dead... sorta. Why didn't the printer give me a 'failed print'?

2015-12-30 Thread Michael Havens

I think I figured out why it was not printing.. one of my refill inks was
dry and because they aren't genuine hp ink cartridges it didn't tell me.
And when I refilled them it didn't register as being filled so I waste my
money buying them refill cartridges!

pdf not printing

2015-12-28 Thread Michael Havens

I try to print and the little printer appears in the status bar and then
disappears like it has been sent properly  but nothing comes out. I truied
sending a test page but the same thing happened. Nothing is in queue so I
don't know. I'm freaking out because I was just sent a my first property
photography job and I can't print the work order.

Re: mouse control is upside down

2015-12-26 Thread Michael Havens

You know, I have been advised to get a cleaner. I'm thinking of getting
'wd-40 cleaner'. I remember long ago my dad had this stuff that I would
spray onto oily stuff that would absolutely strip the oily stuff and clean
it. Any ideas as to what does that? I thought it was wd-40  but I guess I
was wrong.

rubbing alcohol.
