After installing the Gimp 2.6.11 Tiger PPC, I want to know if Raw Processing is available on this Gimp version. If so, after opening a raw file in the Gimp, how can I access the Raw processing tools?
View 5 RepliesI am using the Gimp Mac 2.6.8 (seems to work best with Mac Tiger 10.4.11). I have an Olympus E1 DSLR, want to be able to process, manipulate Raw files from the camera in the Gimp. Am I able to accomplish this? If so, is there a plugin I can install in the Gimp? Although I have been using other Gimp functionality, I am completely new to working with Raw files. "non-jargon" terms how I can accomplish this? On my own I got the "ufraw-0.18.tar.gz" file from Sourceforge, am I on the right track?
View 3 Replies View RelatedI am trying to use gimp in batch mode. I can't find any examples of how to do _real_ batch processing. All the examples on the net show how to integrate into the gui.
I see that I can use the -b flag to invoke script-fu functions. But AFAICS,the script with the function definitions needs to reside somewhere in~/gimp-x.y/scripts or something.
In addition, I can't find a way to pass command line arguments to the called functions. Is there any way to define/execute functions? For example, I'd like to callsimple-unsharp-mask from [URL]........
like this:
$ call-gimp-function script.scm simple-unsharp-mask file.png 5.0 0.5 0
When using command line gimp, is it possible to use *.jpg as the file name to have it process ALL the JPEG files in a folder? I'm really actuallyinterested in a simple file format conversion with no image processingapplied, specifically svg2png conversion. I know Gimp can render svg andcan save png, and unlike the next best program ImageMagick, the Gimpactually DOES NOT GLITCH the resulting image! So I've got a folder FULL OFSVG FILES, and would like to be able to just type "gimp convert -i *.svg-outputformat png" and have have it AUTOMATICALLY convert all my svg filesto png files. Is it possible to do this with such a simple and shortcommand line? I know the above exact example command line doesn't work,cause I tried it. But is there some simillarly simple command line code Icould use with gimp to convert svg to png via rendering the svg and thensaving the image as a png?

View 1 Replies View RelatedI use gimp for image processing in my job as Forensic Questioned Document Examiner. One of the requirements when we elaborate an image is to be able to relate what modifications have been done to the image, in order to make the result reproducible.
So I was wondering: is there a feature or plugin that records all the modifications, filters, ... applied to an image (taking of course into account undos etc), and perhaps saves them into the resulting file (gimp format at least ) for later reference and inspection?

View 1 Replies View RelatedProblem :I have a large number of ex-camera jpegs of the pages of a book,photographed at an archive where scanning is prohibited. A camera stand wasused, with the book supported on foam wedges. Consequently, both pages ineach image are distorted - i.e. each page of a pair is a trapezium.It is, of course, a simple matter to crop and apply the perspective tool(twice) to an image to restore the pages to their flat state. Doing it forseveral hundred images is a non-starter, and anyway that's what the machineis for.
Proposed solution :
Import an image to the Gimp.
Drag and drop a number of images into the same project - as many as themachine can handle.
Link the image layers.
Crop.
Select one page and use the Perspective Tool to pull the page 'square'.Repeat for the second page.
Export each image, working down the stack.
Result :Selecting the right-hand page and correcting the perspective works, in thatthe Gimp progressively works down the layers. But, although each right-handpage is correctly 'squared up', all the left-hand pages, other than the toplayer, are enlarged and cropped.
Software used :2.6 under Debian Squeeze.
2.8.2 under Mint 14.1
2.8.6 under Windows 7

I'm trying to streamline a daily activity processing photos with Gimp by using incrontab (which makes it when you add files to a directory, it will automatically run a program to deal with the event). I have a python-fu script that I need to run after selecting four corners of what will be new photos.
It will run itself on all images open in gimp which reduces my keystrokes or mouse clicks. The problem I'm having is that when I put four photos into the processing directory, incron opens four instances of gimp instead of opening gimp once and adding each photo to its open images. I'm using Ubuntu Linux. I'd really like to make the same instance of gimp open the photos, but I'm not sure how to do that.
I opened a 1024x1024 image in GIMP, and manually broke it up into fully black and fully white sections. I'd like to output a file which is just a simple binary array of 8 bit numbers, such that every black pixel in the image has the value 0, and every white pixel has the value 1. This way, I can open it in my C program and then load the array into memory using the fread function.
I haven't been able to work out how to do this. I need to avoid using any files with metadata in them...And unfortunately, even the ppm format has a handful of characters at the beginning. Is there a way to do this?
I would like to repeat the following procedure on a large number of images but I am unable to find a way of batch processing to do this for me. The idea is to end up with a small plain boarder around the original image. This is to prevent any image being lost when I order prints due to cropping.
1) open image
2) copy the image
3) create a new image 0.5" larger than the original
4) paste the copied image into the larger new image
5) resize the new image to a given size for example 10x8 for printing
6) Save the image under new name or in a different folder to the original.

View 1 Replies View RelatedWe are possibly going to start shooting volume HDR images. Time will be a factor when shooting 4 locations a day and still having to process. Is there a way to stack the images at the end of the job like an action, then when I get back to the studio, I can tweak the images?
View 2 Replies View RelatedComputers today are including more and more cores. I am looking to upgrade my machine and I have looked at an AMD quad core processor and their new FX 8 core processor. The computers I have looked at are are the same expect the processor (Quad vs 8 core). From my understanding the more cores doesn't mean more speed unless the software can actually use the power. So can Photoshop (CS6) actually use and benefit by having 8 cores than 4?(For that matter can other Creative Suite products also use that much power?)
View 5 Replies View RelatedI have many folders that contain my NEF and PSD files, all together.
I want to setup a batch process to open up JUST the PSD files and then save elsewhere as a JPEG.
How can I open just the PSD files in an action or using Image Processor Pro?
Similarly, I want to setup another batch process that will open RAW files and allow basic editing in CAmera RAW.
Is there a way to link together several computers to process large documents more quickly? I have seen programs like Qmaster and Compressor for Final Cut users–is there anything like that for processing in Photoshop?

I'm going on a scrapbooking retreat this weekend and need to develop 200+ photos and upload to CVS.com. I have all my pictures in .jpg format now but I need to get the overall size of the files under 6mb to work with CVS's website.
I know that CS2 has a batch process to take the file size to certain pixel dimension but wanted to know if anyone knew a way to do it to fit overall file size vs. dimension.
I have Adobe Photoshop 7 and am trying to process my photos from a Canon Powershot A80. This camera does not seem to handle blue skies very well. Every picture I take up close, particularly using artificial light, seems to come out fine. Pictures taken in the daylight under a hazy or semi-hazy blue sky look bad throughout, as you will see in my linked photo.
Many of my photos turn out the same way as my linked photo does. I've tried various tutorials and nothing I adjust makes these photos look "real" again, at least not real in the sense of being clear and crisp.
I created an action to convert a file to grayscale from RGB but when used in batch processing it opens and saves the files to the specified folder without applying the mode conversion.
If I use the action on a single file it works fine.

I was doing a lot of manipulation of actions and image save functions
and never really got what I wanted completely solved but now I have this
lingering issue that I want to figure out.
When I save a TIF, it will save just fine but after the save has been
completed, it goes through what looks like an action and reduces the
file size and dimensions.
I could just go through and delete some of my actions until it stops
doing it but I'd rather figure out how I did it; this function might be
useful.
I have a folder of about 1000 pictures that I need to resize and save for the web. Using Photoshop CS4. The originals are all JPG files, but are saved at high resolutions and sizes. But they are not uniform in size. I need to resize each to be 200 px wide @ 72 dpi, but allow the height to vary depending upon the image dimensions. I haven't used Photoshop for a number of years. I *think* I remember the ability to walk through a series of steps and record them and then batch apply to a whole folder, but can't see a way to do that now.
I do see in the Image Processor the ability to resize and save, but it doesn't allow me to set the width and leave the height empty.
I am batching both photoshop native files and attempting .Pdf files. They are both located in the same folder.
The .psd files process correctly,(converting to jpg) to .jpg file formats. But the .pdf files don't actually save. If I use the action on these files individually, the action works fine.
We are holding a conference of sorts, and we are making name tags for everyone to hang around their necks. We have a design in photoshop. We have an excel spreadsheet with everyone's name and forum. Traditionally, the name tags were juts copied and pasted by hand, which is tedious and prone to mistakes.
is there a faster way to do this? i heard something about scripts, but i have no idea where to start. does anyone have a pointer to where i can learn it? i only want to learn the bare minimum to write THIS script, as im sure it's the only script i'll ever write for photoshop.
I have 1500+ .ai files that I need to automate a batch processing of.Tried recording an action in PS, but it somehow doesn't work. Log file gives me this error message: "Error: The command "Image Size" is not currently available. (-25920)".
This error gets repeated for all other recorded actions that I've taken (I also had a "Save to web" action to export as a good quality .png file, but that action receives the same error in the log file).
I am considering purchasing Lightroom v.4.3. I will be shooting in RAW with a Canon 6D and Canon 7D camera. Is the support for working with RAW files and then converting them to jpg files built in to Lightroom v.4.3 or must one purchase a separate add-on module to perform those tasks?
View 4 Replies View RelatedFor some reason the Processing options for RAW and CS5 are no longer available from Bridge. When I try to select those from my start up start-up page I get a msg. that they are not in the system.
I have tried to re-install CS5 but after doing so, no email is sent back from Adobe confirming the completion. My choice w/b to 'find' the RAW and CS5 processing options in that the plug-ins that I have added would still be there.

I usually do RAW photo editing on Photoshop on my old Fujitsu laptop & have recently I have upgraded to a Mac Book Pro. I have noticed that when I do the same kind of processing on my Mac book, the photos tend to not be as dark & have contrast as I would normally like it to be. Meaning to say, photos that look really dark in on my Mac book look rather greyed & washed out on my Fujitsu, however the photos I have processed on my Fujitsu all look nicely exposed on my Mac book.
So is this due to different screen resolutions? Because the photos I have edited on my mac look really different when compared to on my Fujitsu, like the colors etc.
Today I'm working on actions that embody steps that do upsampling, and I'm using some of my panoramic images as test input with Photoshop CS6 x64 on Windows 7 I just calculated how many pixels are in the upsampled images, to get an idea of how stressful these actions will be on systems when people run them...
A 25,659 x 6,069 pixel image is no small thing in itself, at 155 megapixels... But upsampling it to 320% original size in both horizontal and vertical dimensions yielded 82,108 x 19,420 pixels - a 1.5 gigapixel image! And I'm working at 16 bits/channel. I was a bit surprised that I am just regularly chunking through gigapixel sized data. And I'm multitasking all the while - browsing, keeping up with eMail, listening to streaming internet radio...
The take-away from this is that with today's computer power and resources Photoshop just blazes through gigapixel+ sized documents now!Seems to me it wasn't THAT long ago we heard about the world's first gigapixel image, and now we're actually starting to hear about the first terapixel images, which are still challenging to make.
