GIMP :: Save Result As PSD And Not As XCF
May 20, 2013After working on a complex, multi-layer image, if I save the result as PSD and not as XCF, will I lose anything when I return to the file later?

Save For Web offers 5 resampling algorithms (the same 5 as in Image Size, ignoring "Bicubic Automatic", of course) for when the output is being resized.
All choices except "Nearest Neighbor" output an identical image (which is different to all results of Image Size). Although the "Bilinear" output contains the same pixels as the output of the 3 bicubics, its file size is slightly different than their shared file size.
How to change the color of an icon (ex: from black to grey). My problem is that the end result is sometimes an icon that is partially transparent.
Here is what I am doing:
1) I open the image of which I want to change the color (black icon over transparent background)
2) Create a new layer and color this in white.
3) Merge the two layers
4) Create a new layer and color this with the color I want for my icon
5) Go to Colors -> Color to Alpha
6) Select the current color of the icon
7) Click Ok - Now icon color is the wanted color over a white background
8) Create a new layer and leave this transparent
9) Go to Colors -> Color to Alpha
10) Select the white color (current background color).
11) Click Ok - Now icon background is transparent, but icon color is also partially transparent.
Is there a way how I can change the color of an icon without getting the icon color transparent.
I have two similar images where the subject has moved between the images. I have them in the same file as two separate layers and am using the subtract layer mode to identify where they differ, (roughly!).
I want to be able to use the subtract layer as a completely new layer so that I can make edits to it. The only way I have found to do this at the moment is to 'copy visible', but this still brings other elements that I don't want from where the layers overlap.
I only recently upgraded to 2.8 from 2.6 and was wondering if I am the onlyone missing the option to edit the file extension in the SAVE formwhich basically allowed you to Save, Save Copy, Save As or Export to anyformat from the same form?
I also found it strange that if I now open a JPG file (or drag into GIMP),I can't save changes (to the JPG) directly (it wants to save to native Gimpformat), so I again first have to go to Export instead!
I am wondering why this was incorporated, and if it's going to stay, is there a setting I can set to work like I am used to (and find much fasterand more flexible)?
I really like how this picture came out and I was wondering how I could get a similar aspect?
I know you can play with curves, levels, and saturation but I'm sure its more then that ..

New to Lightroom.
I have imported my existing folder structure to catalog.
My current folder names contain when, where, what & who information. I created a couple of smart collections, but all I get are images. How do I get a result set of folders? Easy example is 'wedding'. I need a list of WEDDING EVENTS, not 20,000+ wedding images that have no meaning when shown together. I assume this must be easy, but have already spent way too long trying to figure out how!
I was cruising along in gimp saving jpg t0 xcf in a folder when suddenly when I clicked "save as" I got the open window listing all the files again and I could not save to xcf. Tried other files, same thing. Shut down the computer and restarted gimp again, same thing.

On my three year old computer GIMP will save as .jpeg .tif or pretty much anything I want. Do you have to add something else to the program to get those extensions to save files in?

As far as I can tell in doing everything correct. However the pdf always saves scaled as 8.5x11 page with a 5x7 image so when it prints on the 5x7 paper it's tiny!

I have used gimp for a few years, today i installed windows 7. i was excited to try gimp on win7 but unfortunately its the new version of gimp that i hate . anyway, when i try to save an image there are only a few formats available: xcf and other GIMP formats i guess. there is no gimp brush format or bmap or jpeg or anything! I am making a timelapse for youtube.

One thing P/s did have going for it, there was a plugin you could install to save any image format as a .ico (Windows icon) file.
Despite what I've done from online tuts etc, I can't get the Gimp to save as a .ico file. (The file types in which to save seem very few).
When I try to export my gif the only options are help, export, and cancel. There is no box that says 'save as animation'. I've checked GIMP 2libgimp2.0plug-ins for file-gif-save and file-gif-load and they are both there. I've reinstalled gimp as well.

Am doing a lot of pix-editing.. Would like to disable the save conformation pop-up, so edit saves on first click-save.. There's too much repetition in commands in the computer these days.. It isn't efficient enough to be smooth when the user is in high-gear.. Seems OS's cater to those who make mistakes and can't think.. I.E.: "eliminating delete confirmations".. You hard lesson lose only one file of pix, or notes, then never do it again...
Would be nice if there was a tiny dot on the window, just under the pix, that saves the edit to where it originated, when clicked... Would be sweet if the user could disable all the time wasting safety features, and just have Gimp save the edit every 60-seconds, like word processors do...
In CS3 I use a Dust & Scratches filter on a layer in a high resolution (3200+ppi) 16bpc image, then traditionally change the layer blend mode to Difference, make a duplicate of a channel which has the clearest information of where the filtered changes were made, and use levels to increase the contrast on a copy of that channel. Occasionally I get this result though - the Levels adjustment preview shows spots clearly, but clicking OK results in something very different from the preview. This only seems to happen occasionally.and result looks like this:
As the purpose of the channel is to make a mask, the result isn't as good as I'd like. I assumed that the problem might have been the grey starting colour of the channel, so I pushed the 0 up to 9 in an attempt to get a uniform K value of 100% on the darkest areas, and then ran a second Levels adjustment to make the white spots brighter. The second levels adjustment resulted in pretty much the same result as above, again, not what was shown in the preview. I also assumed that it may be down to numbers and that levels is occasionally too limited to deal with all the shades of grey on a 16 bit channel. Probably wrongly as this normally works exactly as required.
This only happens occasionally, and isn't that big a deal - I can quite happily go and use a Curve instead. I'm just wondering why the preview in the adjustment window is different from the actual result. The fact that it only happens on some of my images is what concerns me - purging all beforehand does not make any difference.how to get accurate results in the preview? Is the preview using a different method to show the results? Unfortunately I won't have a copy of CS6 to try this on until a couple of weeks from now, so not sure the best way for someone to try and replicate it on newer versions.
Is there a way to see the end result of a pattern as you are creating it?
That is a way so you can see the pattern tiled all over the document. So say you are working on a 100x100 area to be the pattern in layer 1, but you want to see this replicated over an entire document. Maybe you have an overall image/document that is 800x600 say, and you work on the 100x100 area in a layer. Anyway some way of doing is so that when you make a small change in the 100x100 area of the layer you're using for the patter creation, you immdiately see the replicated result of the 800x600 area.
I'm using CS5 and beginning to use HDR. When I merge to HDR pro and make adjustments to images the preview window is extremely different from the final image. I'm merging original camera raw images from a Nikon D200. Workflow in ACR is set to 16bit. Output from HDR pro is also 16bit. I adjust using the preview window, but after final processing the resulting image is grossly different, much more saturated and more vibrant among other differences.
View 2 Replies View RelatedScaling on a pattern layer sucks. When you scale a layer up or down (anything other than 100%), the end result is blurry and ugly. Here's an example: URL....
I would love to be able to choose the scaling algorithm used. In this case, the raster layer was scaled down with a bicubic algorithm, which worked fine for it.
I've recently tried using the Photoshop HDR feature. I have selected three different exposures in Lightroom and chose to merge them as an HDR image. All went well until the preview. I've found some settings that work really well. I've decided to go for the 16-bit path, not using Lightroom's 32-bit image capability, and let Photoshop do the tone mapping for now.
Here's what my preview image and the entire tool window looks like: [URL]
And this is the result one step later. It's totally over-saturated and has other merge errors. It basically doesn't even look similar to the preview. What's the preview good for if it doesn't show what I'll get? How should I decide what setting works good if I can't see it? [URL]
This is Photoshop CS6 x64 on Windows 7 SP1. The source images are 16-bit TIFFs as they were exported by Lightroom.
I was scanning some old family photos and came across one that isn't an original photo but looks like it was printed on one of those little remembrance cards that are passed out at funerals and it is made up of little dots. The scanned image ends up with a kind of plaid pattern on it because of the dots:
I took a picture with my cell phone and it looks better.I have never tackled anything like this before and was wondering if there is a standard way of improving this kind of picture to look more like a photo.
I'm having a bit of a problem with audio crackle. With one music track playing on the background, and an audio file set to play simultaneously, results with a crackling audio file. As far as I can say, the music file on the background plays OK regardless if the voice track crackles. The individual clips play OK, so this isn't because of the source audio. The project is a trailer, with the narrative voice consisting of audio files on the voice track and music playing on the background. It doesn't matter whether the narrative audio is set on the voice track or an additional music track, same problem every time.
The funny thing is that this only occurs when I'm using the timeline view or creating a video / an audio file from the project - in the 'sound mixer'- mode everything sounds and looks perfect. When I select the sound mixer and then click 'share' -> create video / audio file, the program apparently switches to the timeline view and the crackle transfers to the end result as well.
I've tried this on XP and Win 7, with no difference whatsoever. Updated Direct X, installed RealPlayer, Media Player and a whole bunch of codecs, but to no avail. Tried .ogg, .mp3 and .wav as audio formats. This is actually what I find really weird - an uncompressed .wav is the last file type you'd expect to have problems with.
I am making a Blurb photo book in CDx4. Everything goes very well. But then I try to publish the result to pdf/x3, as requested by Blurb. The colors of the bitmaps are wrong, dull. I try to publish to acrobat 4. Everything is all right. Other pdf formats seem to do very good as well.
I think it has something to do with rgb and cmyk, but whatever I try to change, it does not work. I converted the bitmaps to cmyk, I changed things in the color management (had things with that in the past -> color management off seems the best), nothing works.
