[Gimp-user] dealing with Nikon NEF RAW files?

Hi! Is there anyone here, who has a Nikon DSLR and is shooting in RAW? If yes - how do you deal with your .NEF images? On a CD that came with my camera there was a program called 'Picture Project'. Until recently I used it under Wine and was pretty happy with it. It worked slow, but it allowed

[Gimp-user] Is there a lightweight Window Manager that properly supports utility windows?

I guess the title says it all.  The page for Gimp 2.5x said Metacity was the only Window Manager that properly supported utility windows.  The page for 2.6 doesn't say this, so I presume it is no longer the case. I've found Openbox almost works properly, except that the utility windows stay ab

[Gimp-user] Question about Gimp 2.6.1 on Ubuntu Linux

I'm running Gimp 2.6.1 on Ubuntu 8.10 (64-bit) and I've noticed when I load an image, the image window stays behind the toolbox and the layers window all the time. I didn't see a preference where I could control "always on top" behavior. This makes it challenging for me to work with images. I

Re: [Gimp-user] Making a .gif file transparent

If you were asking whether .JPG (also JPEG) files have the problem of being indexed or having a colormap, then the answer to that question is also "no", however if you have a JPEG image that you would like to work on, then copy the entire image and paste it into a new image (Edit > Paste As > New I

Re: [Gimp-user] Making a .gif file transparent

JPEG images cannot have transparency. So if that is what you are asking then the answer is "no". Only GIF and PNG images can have transparency in them. GIMP's native XCF format can also retain transparency but it is not usable as a production image format -- you must "export it" (use File > Save As

Re: [Gimp-user] Making a .gif file transparent

Why don't you 1. Open the GIF image 2. Select the entire image (Ctrl+A) 3. Copy it (Ctrl+C) 4. Right-click on the image, then click on Edit > Paste as New Image Now you'll have a non-indexed image which will allow you to add transparency, after you're done, 5. Select the entir

Re: [Gimp-user] Making a .gif file transparent

Nathan, It's an image we created for our website to protect photos sent to us for display by watermarking them and I've tried layering and adding an alpha layer to no avail. I am clueless as to the ins and outs of imaging software and GIMP is the program we use. I've searched the tutorials to no

Re: [Gimp-user] Making a .gif file transparent

Hi Gene, maybe you could help us out by telling us the steps you took previously to create transparent areas on the GIF image you are talking about. Also, are you using a GIF image that you created or that you downloaded from somewhere? Nathan On Wed, Nov 12, 2008 at 7:05 AM, <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>

[Gimp-user] Making a .gif file transparent

Just beginning to use GIMP and I am baffled about how to properly transform a .gif file to make it appear transparent when I subsequently add it to a photo. Each method I have tried still has a "solid" image that blocks out the original photo. Thanks in advance. Gene ___
