[Gimp-user] Rough metallic surface

I wanted to make a rough metallic surface and I ended up with this by fiddling around with a back-to-white gradient and emboss it. I finally got a clean 200x200 image that alings seamlessy and can be used as a pattern: http://www.staldal.nu/gimp/patterns/metallic.pat (You can make it golden by

[Gimp-user] Noise reduction

2011-07-21 Thread Mikael Ståldal
Is there any better noise reduction filter for GIMP than the built in Wavelet Denoise? It does remove the noise, but also make the image a bit blurry. Wavelet Denoise in ufraw has the same problem. I know it is possible to do it better since my new camera, Canon PowerShot S95, does it better w

[Gimp-user] UFRaw default settings

2011-07-15 Thread Mikael Ståldal
I'm using the UFRaw plugin to GIMP for importing RAW images. However, if I do any adjustments for a particular image, UFRaw will save that as default when I import the image to GIMP. This is quite annoying, is there a way to turn it off? ___ Gimp-user
