As a recent user of Photoshop, I need to attach details such as keywords to an image. This will usually be a TIFF or JPEG.. I'm new to Gimp but see in the Properties category I can enter the sort of info I want but when I try to save everything this info just disappears and obviously is not embedded in the file.
View 2 RepliesI use romcat to catalogue and find files that we create. I've noticed that if X5 is installed on windows XP the save dialogue shows place to insert 'keyword's and 'notes' as before, however if X5 is installed on Vista or Windows 7 the field are now listed as 'Title' and 'Subject' and cannot be used by Romcat. Under a Vista or Windows 7 installation when a 'save as' to an X3 or earlier version is used, the dialogue box refers to 'tags' and 'comments' which are read correctly by Romcat.
Is there any way the save dialogue can include' keywords' and 'notes' without saving as an earlier version?

I am using a macbook pro. Every time i go to export an image I have resized, or modified, the name field does not let me use most of the keyboard. Some of the keys work but most dont in that field.
View 1 Replies View RelatedThis keeps happening where I have an image, I edit it, I press ctrl+S, but when I upload the image the edited version is not uploading the original version is?? I have to save it as ctrl+shift+s. This sucks because now I have 3 or 4 of the same image all saved differently which gets to be pretty inconvenient.

View 5 Replies View RelatedI made a complicated selection, which I saved to a channel. Then I inverted the selection and tried to delete the inverse (hopefully to transparency, but deleting to a background color would be better than not deleting at all). However, nothing happens when I press the delete key, or when I select "Clear" from the edit menu. Trying to use the Cut command doesn't work, either.
After deselecting, I can get the selection back through the channels dock, by right-clicking and then choosing "Channel to selection" or "Add to selection." It appear to replace the selection from the channel properly. I just can't delete anything.
GIMP closed while I was in the middle of saving an image and is now telling me that the xcf is corrupt and that there is no usable data in it even though the file is the same size as it was before the crash. This is the third or fourth time it's done this to me. I'd include the file but this is the first time I've posted here and I don't know how
View 6 Replies View RelatedI'm using Gimp 2.8.2 on Linux. I've configured the UI to single-windowmode and have opened multiple images, each with a tabbed display.
It is my understanding that I should be able to grab a layer from oneimage and drag-and-drop it onto the tab of another image in order toappend a copy of that layer in the new image. I have not been able to dothis. I'm grabbing a layer from the layers dialog and dragging it to the tab-thumbnail, but the layer is not copied to the new image.
A couple of comments for the UI designers:
* I find the [X] icons on the image tabs to be a real problem getting accidentally selected and dismissing the image when attempting to quickly select another tab. I would prefer another tab dismissal method such as right-click-menu close.
* Some user control over the tabs would be good. For example, I would like to see the the vertical height of of the tabs be smaller and have the option of displaying file names and/or icons.
I want to crop several images in same aspect ratio.So I checked "Fixed" option and set proper values in tool box.
And sometimes I want to complement image with background color if selectionis larger than original size. In this case, I add a larger layer bottom of the image and crop it.
But it would better if I can do it by one action.Therefore I'm trying to write a script-fu for it, but I'm stuck now.
Because a function `gimp-selection-bounds` returns points only inside ofthe image even if the selection is outside of image.
Is there a way to get bounds of selection outside of a image by usingscript-fu?
How can I move many nested keywords back into the main listing of keywords? I was up late a few nights ago and never noticed that about 80 new keywords were being placed as (nested?) under another keyword. How can I get them back from under that keyword and into the main keywrod list?
View 5 Replies View RelatedI'm trying to rotate an image. Actually, I figured out how to rotate it. But I can't figure out how to fill in the "empty" triangular areas that represent the area between the edges of the original image and the horizontal and vertical edges of the canvas. I would like to fill these spaces so it is not obvious that the image was rotated. How can I do this?
What is the standard way to manipulate images in this manner?
I've attached a sample image that I rotated.
Lightroom has a collection containing all images without keywords.
As soon as I apply a keyword to images they instantly disappear from the collection. This is alright when I only want to apply a single keyword, but how do I stop it happening when I want to apply multiple keywords to the same image(s)?

I created this using Gimp 2.6 on Mac 10.5: [URL].......
When I resize this to a smaller image, the text gets all distorted: [URL]......
I have been looking around on Google, but couldn't find much.Tried scaling with all the different ways (Linear, Cubical... etc). Also tried scaling from XCF and PNG files. Nothing seem to maintain the quality of the text on the image.
you've zoomed in to start this painstaking freehand selection withlots and lots of points, and when you get to the end, nothing getsselected. Then you notice that, once again, you had done a Select Allsome time ago (invisible because you zoomed in) and forgotten to SelectNone before clicking the lasso.
What do people do to avoid this? (I know the obvious answer is "rememberto check what your selection is all the time", but that's seriouslyflow-disruptive.)
GIMP could blink the image or something when you add selectionpoints that don't increase/decrease the already selected area, but Iguess that might take some time to implement.
I am trying to add keywords to some images in my catalog, but when I change the keywords on one image, those changes appear in the Keyword Tags box for every image in the catalog!
View 6 Replies View RelatedWhen I export an image with existing keywords they showup in the file properties when I open the new image in Windows Explorer. When I re-import that new file back into Lightroom I find that none of the original keywords are visible. This had not been an issue in previous versions of Lightroom.
View 2 Replies View RelatedI need to apply individual unique keywords to a large (1000+) set of images. Is there a faster way to advance to the next image after applying a keyword than using the mouse to select the next image from the library browser? A feature similar to the Shift>[rating number] trick to advance to the next image while assigning ratings?
My lack of knowing this trick is killing my productivity by at least a factor of two.
Just upgraded a user to Autodesk Building Design Suite Premium 2013 but AutoCad 2013 and AutoCad MEP 2013 are not saving settings.
On first use the crosshair is large and angled, not standard. If I run "Rest values to default" then the settings are standard until I either restart AutoCAD or open a drawing then have the same strange cross hair.
Have tried creating a new profile, setting it as default startup profile by altering the shortcut but no matter what settings are not saved and revert to strange cross hair once AutoCAD is re-opened or a drawing is opening.If logon to computer as a user without a roaming profile all works fine.
I am running windows 7 64 bit. LR 4 worked fine. LR5 has the following (main) issues/bugs: Crashes when help - about system is clicked.
Freezes on keyword changes and will not refresh or change keywords with newly selected image. Sometimes fixes with waiting a long time, sometimes only with restart of the program or optimization of database.Does not allow files to be rotated in full view, only in grid view.
With the upgrade to 5.2 I hoped the above would be corrected. They have not, and now, as an added 'feature' I also have:During the same session, a previously exported image is re-exported with a new export in place of one or more of the newer exports. This happens despite the filmstrip or grid view being in sync on choices and when I am certain that previously exported image is not selected in the current export.
Further, the program does seem quite sluggish at times, though I have the program and database on seperate drives. I am thinking or will change over to working in previews to resolve that issue, meanwhile, the other issues are still in play.
I am trying to find a faster way to save my images. I shoot in raw, save raw images as jpegs after editing them in Camera Raw. I am using Photoshop CS6 on a Mac version 10.7.5. When I save, I either have to save as a copy of the exisiting image, or replace the image I'm working on. Other forums I've read said to make an action to save and create a function key to make this process faster, but my function keys aren't working, and playing the action I've created still makes a copy of the image.
View 3 Replies View RelatedI just upgraded from 2.6 and it seems this is a major difference. In 2.6 I was able to use the Save command to save to the format the file was in to begin with - JPG. I saw all the dialog boxes only once, the first time I saved; then I could use Ctrl-S and see just a fill bar at the bottom - the same bar that GIMP used for other things, like Unsharp Mask.
2.8.2 is not working that way. When I try to save I don't have the JPG option, just something called XCF which I've never heard of before. To save to JPG it says I have to use the "Export" command, which opens a similar (very large) dialog box to the Save but with the JPG option. I can save, and write over, the file that way, but now every time I want to resave - or re-Export, in GIMP's terms - I get the same dialog box, which I now have to click through all over again. I'm restoring old photos and they sometimes need lots of editing so I usually resave a lot. But having to go through all those dialogs over and over is really time-consuming.
Plus, if I try to close the file right after I've done the Export thing I still get a warning that I'm trying to close without saving and my data might be lost. Presumably this is because I haven't saved to that other format - XCF - because when I try a plain Save I don't get the warning message. But then I have two files instead of one and I have to take time to delete the XCF one.
I admit I'm no GIMP expert but I was actually starting to get comfortable with 2.6 to the point where it was fairly easy to do what I needed to do for these photos. Now I've got this save issue which has taken my comfort level way back. Am I missing something here? Is there an easier and faster way to save my JPGs and not have to deal with other formats I don't need? I've looked in Preferences but there doesn't seem to be anything there useful.
FYI, I'm using GIMP in Windows XP SP3.
how to save a JPG using as little space as possible as well as using Skript-Fu. That in fact means just saving Bytes which are directly related to the image itself and avoiding meta informations and what ever else is saved with it.For comparison reasons I have saved a JPG using the ordinary Gimp GUI (so no Skript-Fu). The result was ok. Unfortunately saving using Skript-Fu did not bring the same results regarding the image size.The function file-jpeg-save actually comes with most of the parameters available in the ordinary GUI save form however, except "Save EXIF data" and "Save thumbnails".
Well, the EXIF data are no problem. Those are parasite data and parasites can easily be detached from images, drawables and even global settings. And that obviously saves some bytes.But I could not find anything regarding saving the thumbnail data. So my questions are: How to avoid saving the thumbnails within the image? Are there other data which are not directly image data? And if yes how can i get rid of them? Or maybe is there even a tutorial on how to save jpg as small as possible using Skript-Fu?
In my workspace I have loaded pull down menu's, and I have saved my workspace in workspace settings.
But every time I close AutCAD and re-open it again, the pull down menu's disappear!! Is there a setting.
I'm using autoCad 2013 for Mac on OS lion (Educational Version). Often when i'm working for longer periods, when I try to save my work, it will suddenly go to my desktop, and the program wont respond. My work then is lost, and I have to open the recovered file, or work from the Auto saved file, and sometimes they didn't save aswell.
My files are saved on a shared dropbox folder, with some external references. On relative paths, i've unatteched them and it still crashes. I've tried the _audit command, and that didn't work either. I've been searching with appload for the MdiTab17.arx entry and try to unload it, but I can't find that file (maybe it's a windows solution).
I've decided to give GIMP a serious test drive after using Photoshop for many years. However, I've run into what I consider a fatal flaw, and after much searching can't seem to find an answer to it's probably something dumb that I'm doing. As a photographer, I shoot in RAW. Of course when I want to post pics on the web I save as a low res .jpg. Thing is, when I get a picture looking how I want (usually I'm saving the files as .psd when working on them) and then go to save it as a .jpg, when I look at the jpg saved it is VERY noticeably different from the file I'm working on. Specifically, the colors and hues get juiced to the point where it looks terrible. It almost seems like GIMP is putting it's own color curve to the files. Same thing happened saving as .png. Saving as .psd seems to save 'correctly' - i.e. no color changes or other weirdness.
After multiple searches,there be a 'feature' that I need to deactivate?

I saved PNG without checked "Save gamma" but it saves the file with gamma set to 0.4545. I can see it while working with xloadimage: Boot_800x600.png is 800x600 PNG image, color type RGB, 8 bit, file gamma 0.4545
It's too dark (other applications ignore this settings). I'm using GIMP 2.6.11. Newer version is not much possible (as it is unstable in my linux distribution). but if you're sure that newer version resolves this bug, I will gladly upgrade.
why this bug is still active even if it is known from older versions and how can I avoid it?
I'm a bit confused with the fps in the 'playback' and the milliseconds while saving gif files.
For example, I want to save a gif in 15 fps, but i'm not sure how many milliseconds that would be.
I've created a process to make photos look like Lomography and can't find a way to save the process so that I can apply it to say, a whole album.
