  1. Great idea!!!

    Well, I would love to use Gimphoto, but I don't have Windows :(

    A suggestion - please, make an RSS feed for your site/blog, or make an announcement list, so interested people like me can know of news about Gimphoto.

    Another suggestion - submit your code to Ubuntu repositories! Once this tool is easily available for download, lots of people will start using it.

  4. Selamat datang,

    In order to comply with the licensing terms under which the GIMP is distributed, you will likely need to exclude the PSPI plug-in[1]. The PSPI binaries require some files from the Photoshop Software Developers Kit (SDK) which Adobe does not permit to be re-distributed. This means that the PSPI binary is not compatible with the GNU Public License[2]

    There is an exemption/clarification of the GPL included with the GIMP source code[3] which permits the PSPI plug-in to be provided as a separate package, but it can not be bundled with GIMP or derivatives of GIMP since the full source can not be made available[4].

  5. sorry, for now Gimphoto only available under Windows. i plan to create Linux version but Linux is new platform for me, so it takes time to learn howto create package installer under Linux.

    deweirdefied plugin not work so well using my computer, so i will not include it with Gimphoto until it's updated to Gimp 2.4.

    gimphotoeffects, pandora, resynthesizer, exposure blend will be included with next version.

    for panotools i need more examples of plugins usage and link to win32 binaries for Gimp 2.4.

    for greycstoration, it's great plugin but it require imagemagick library that very big in size, so it's not included because will make GimPhoto 25Mb package bigger.

    for pspi license, Mr. Tor Lillqvist the pspi creator already re-release pspi under MIT license so i can included with next version of GimPhoto, thanks Mr. Tor Lillqvist :)

  6. A portable version or guide.... that and you may consider using a torrent to allow people to download all in one piece without concern for your bandwidth (I know I'd seed the torrent)

  7. This is a friendly note from a GIMP developer that you are violating the GPL if you distribute a binary package without making the source code available. If you are in fact making it available, I suggest you add a clearer explanation to your site, because I couldn't find it. If you feel that you are actually in compliance with the GPL, it would be helpful to add a note on your "About" or your "Downloads" page explaining your reasoning. (I haven't downloaded the package to see what it contains.)

    Thanks, and best wishes.

  8. Nice. I would request/suggest that you restore or make optional the right click menus as some of the items are high use and save a lot of time and clicks.In particular the undo/Redo of the Edit menu and the Filters menu which require frequent access while getting the effect one desires or testing filters for effect. These right click menus are one of the features that make Gimp more flexible and more user friendly than Photoshop and are a big part of why I prefer Gimp over Photoshop. I can test ten filters or settings with ten clicks without having to constantly open the filter menu and search for the filter I want.

    A second suggestion would be to add the Guash plugin especially if you can port it to Gimp 2.4. Guash still needs some work to improve it's functionality but for viewing thumbs(even small ones) of a whole folder within Gimp is sometimes very useful.

    I tried Gimphoto on another computer with a Windows theme program and Gimphoto would not accept the theme (Gimp 2.4.2 accepts it ok). Is this due to to the Clearlooks GTK Engine or the T-ish theme?

  9. I'm writing here what I send long time ago to GIMP developer mailing list.

    I'm an amateur photographer, and I'm using GIMP (now GIMPhoto!) to retouch my photos. I wrote some articles in Italian on the argument, and I'm here to suggest some hints for this beautiful program.

    Histogram:

    - It's an invaluable tool for photo retouching, for valuating contrast, brightness, clipping (even channel by channel), posterization.

    - Should be upgraded in real time, when doing levels, curves, ... (corrected in GIMP 2.4.2), better if during correction the original histogram is grayed in the background, and the histogram of the current correction is black in the front.

    - Like other photo retouching programs (take a look to UFRaw), there could some checkboxes to enable clipping areas blinking. This is very useful to see clipping, even better if could be updated in real time during correction (as the entire histogram).

    - Linked to the previuos hint, on the histogram window there could be shown the percentage of clipping towards the white e the black (see UFRaw).


    Levels:

    - When you pass the mouse over the current image, show in the histogram on the levels window the luminosity position, something like a small circle running thru the horizontal line.


    Curves:

    - Please, a more dense curve. Better if user can select 4 or 8 lines.

    - Please, draw in the background the baseline (45°). It's a very useful reference, more visible than looking to the vertex of the grid.

    If you want to see some GIMP and Photoshop histogram, levels and curves images, take a look to my articles (they are in italian, but the important thing are the images):

  11. Hi,

    Gimphoto Desktop is nice!
    But on my pc the memory and cpu usager are very big! And mij pc make a lot of noise. Can you improve this.

    And can you also include the script from this project: http://gimpfx-foundry.sourceforge.net/
    More than 100 scripts working on GIMP 2.4.

  13. leendert,
    thanks for your information about GimPhoto Desktop bug, it will fixed on the next release, so stay tune :)

    for additional script, i prefer just include most useful script, because additional scripts mean bigger download size and longer startup time.

  15. Gimp has had some issues with tablets. Please see here:

    http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=496958

    For version 2.4.5 or later this can however be fixed quite easily. My suggestions is to update GimPhoto to be based on Gimp 2.4.5 or later, so that I can use my tablet without any problems.

    ReplyDelete
  16. anonymous,
    for next version GimPhoto will be using GIMP 2.4.5 but for now i still busy making GimPhoto for Linux, after that then i will create new version of GimPhoto based on 2.4.5.

  17. Please add the following very good plugin:

    http://liquidrescale.wikidot.com/en:download-page

    And bump gimp-photo to the new 2.4.6 or even 2.5.1 build of gimp. If you don't want support-questions, make it a "development release" for others to toy around with.

  27. you can adjust the size of the tool-box. no need to resize after excuting gimp.

    1. open your sessionrc
    2. find this
    (session-info "toolbox" "dock"
    (position 48 48)
    (size 192 720)
    (open-on-exit)
    )
    3. edit it as you like
    (size 192 720)
    4. but in some environment, the min value of width is 119 pixel.

  31. BackDoor.Generic10.KJH is found in the current release of GimPhoto while using the latest AVG AntiVirus Free (program version: 8.0.169; virus database version: 270.7.3/1691). Could you possibly contact with the AVG Developers and make some explanations? Thx in advance ;-)

    you download the GimPhoto from where? i'm sorry but i only supply GimPhoto to Google Code as 6 separated file, so if you download from other site then maybe you can ask site admin about the virus.

  36. I am a magazine publisher using photoshop intensively, in CMYK environment. Your contribution is great. Thanks.

    However at glance I found 2 weakness:
    First, I cannot import a pdf file (as original GIMP 2.6 does).
    Secondly, when I create image files, i.e. PDF or JPG, the CMYK composition is changed from its original. I've set the same color profile for all environtment, i.e.: US Web Uncoated V.2 (CMYK).

    ReplyDelete
  37. Albertus W. Ng,
    Thanks for your positive feedback :)

    For the 2 weaknesses:
    1. for importing PDF file, try follow instruction from this site:
    - http://www.papermakeit.com/index.php?option=com_fireboard&Itemid=54&func=view&id=12&catid=18
    OR
    - http://www.kirchgessner.net/gimp.html#PSGS

    Yes, the interface is less intuitive than the GIMP 2.6 new PDF import plugin.

    2. for problem with color profile, please check again if you already do the right step to do it but if you believe that you already do the right step but still have a problem then maybe you better ask to GIMP developer or Separate+ GIMP plugin developer at: http://cue.yellowmagic.info/softwares/separate.html

  38. Hello zenith,

    as other mentioned do you plan to upgrade Gimphoto according to recent GIMP 2.6 release. I prefer using Gimphoto for my 3d textures so I am still stick to your last release. At the same time 2.6 has some new improvements that I miss.

    Thank you for your replay concerning this topic.

  39. I'm just starting to use GimPhoto, looks very promising. One thing that i'd suggest is make the menu dialogs (when opened) to be in front of the toolbox. Right now, when you open a menu, the toolbox keeps in front of it and obstaculizes.

    Thanks

    ReplyDelete
  40. Thanks Zenith, for my computer it is working OK except for the exif and tags in Tif - but I understand that lots of people are having that problem. You have obviously put a lot of work into it.

    I have a question on the opening faceplate. The go green part. How does that affect photography, and how do you want people to use the software to go green?

    ReplyDelete
  41. Alvaro Medina,
    other user already explain about menu on the back of toolbox then it difficult for select menu item, i will try to fix it in the next release of GimPad.

    Pam,
    glad to hear that it works on your computer :) yes it still not supporting for exif using tif, tif can save exif data since v6.0, but i think tiff save module for GIMP still not updated to the newer tiff version.

    photography usually shots the beauty of nature or the beauty of people, if the nature ruin and the people suffer, then the beauty will gone and that means photography will missing some of the most interesting objects to be shot.

    if you struggle with your editing software to edit your photo then you need longer time to finish you works then that means your computer also releases more heat to the atmosphere and thats means you also contribute to global warming. So faster and easier to use software will reduce the energy usage and releases fewer heat to the atmosphere.

    everything is connected but some connections is not obviously visible :)

    ReplyDelete
  42. Zenith, Glad to hear your response. Some thing that be eliminating photography altogether the environment will be better. No paper usage, no chemicals, none of the other things that go with the photography industry that can, if misused, harm the environment. Good to hear that you are not just one of those "shut it down" people.

  48. GimPhoto/GimPad looks great! Congratulations on building such a great program based on Gimp :)

    A suggestion is that bugs may be reported through a better organized on-line application, like BUGS (http://www.thebuggenie.com/), also used at http://www.pixelcommunity.com/bugs/

    You can register at Pixel's bug reporting site and see how it looks like. Pixel is also a great candidate for Photoshop's alternative :)

    ReplyDelete
  49. Velja,
    thank's for very positive feedback! :)

    i agreed with your suggestions for better bugs reporting system, for now it's very limited.
    i prefer simple, easy to operate by one user, and the most important...it can embedded on Blogger.com site because this site is based on Blogger.com

    i already following Pixel for long time before i create GimPhoto, but afaik Pixel kinda unstable, already on beta status for long time and afaik is written using Delphi that slower than C/C++, also it's paid software.

  50. I recently installed 2.6.3 and am a new user. Everything works great except that the help files are missing. Are help files available? I looked at comments on installation and didn't see any about the help system.

  51. Anonymous,
    if you install GIMP then you on the wrong site because this is GimPhoto site and GimPhoto latest version is 1.4.3 NOT 2.6.3.

    for GimPhoto or GIMP 2.4 help files, you can download it from:
    http://gimp-win.sourceforge.net/stable.html

    it's not included because very large size, around (65Mb)

  61. Great Job, and nice program - I am using PS on Ubunty 9.04 and installed gimpshop - first impressions are very good!!

    a few sugestions - can the shortcuts be made automaticaly? manual config is tricky & disconcerting for beginners

    also can we configure the tool pallette to be similar to PS? I am getting too old and like things the same if possible!!

    I am looking forward to gimp pad on linux, this would be a great step!

    I think that you are helping many more people come to linux - good job.

    Perhaps the gimp crew will realize this and add your skins/apps as a compatibility option?

  64. Need instructions for installing Gimphoto on a 64bit Ubuntu System. This should not be a problem since Ubuntu can work with 32bit Software Packages. The geenric installation instructions aren't good enough for that though, since the standard Ubuntu .deb package installer returns an error ... as a result of not having this built in:

    sudo dpkg --force-architecture -i

    Instructions are needed, to be able to install Gimphoto on a 64bit System for users with little Terminal skills.

  67. I think Anonymous from July 8th is suggesting that instead of using an existing gimp version from which files need to be removed or renamed, why not just make your own COMPLETE GimPhoto version since Gimp is open source anyway? Complete meaning that a person can leave Gimp on their system as is, without changing anything. Then, after installing GimPhoto, a whole new programm is created ... and if possible with the ability to add/remove GimPhoto via the built in Package Refresh option in ubuntu?

    In this day and age of hard disks that are anywhere from 250 to 750 GB in size by default, there's no reason to save 50+ MB of space by consolidating the files between Gimp and GimPhoto.

    The first part of this message shouldn't be too difficult to implement since only the working (exe files in windows) files would have to be renamed to something else in the new programm. Then th new programm would completely ignore any existing Gimp files on the system. At least I think that it would work that way ...

    I see incredible potential for your GimPhoto software. It would be so great if you could make it work independently of gip and on 64bit systems. Then I could promote it on our website to help you get business for it. I would do this completely free of charge with a page write-up, ubuntu installation instructions, and the download. We receive over 100.000 page hits per month and our ubuntu section should be finished by the end of the month.

  68. Siegfried,
    GimPhoto still conflict with GIMP because they using the same user preferences folder with GIMP 2.4, but if we use GIMP 2.6 then there is no problems.

    I still working to be able to separate GimPhoto user preferences folder from GIMP folder but
    GIMP source code is huge and also a very complex system, for doing modification we must have good understanding about the source code. Until now i still doing trial and error to understand which code that i must modify and that process takes much time.

    for a software become available at Ubuntu Package Manager, afaik that software must be approved to be included at Ubuntu software repositories.

    i have a BIG vision for GimPhoto in the future but for now, i only can do my best with my limited skill and resources that i have.

    i very grateful with any help for supporting GimPhoto, thank you very much! :)

  69. Hi zenith,

    Can you make source code available so user like us can install by themselves or help to compile x64 version and give it back to you?

    Do you have Paypal Donation account or Google Donation check out to put on your site ? So users around the world can contribute money if they can to your project.

  70. I'm new to Ubuntu myself but decided to switch to it after 18 years with windows because I truly believe that Ubuntu is going to cause many many people Worldwide to switch from BIG MONEY Windows to COMPLETELY FREE Ubuntu instead. After 18 years with Windows, using an average of 11 professional software applications on my system almost daily, I was able to replace 7 of these items just by installing Ubuntu 9.04 on my computer. I was able to port 2 others with Wine until I find better replacements, and now only 2 Programms remain, both of them graphic software applications. Heck, I was even able to install IE6 for site testing purposes.

    I believe Ubuntu is the future and I believe far more people with graphic skills (Adobe Photoshop, Corel Draw, Paint Shop Pro) would switch to Linux more readily if they had a graphic application that provided a single GUI without a bunch of Windows that have to be moved around constantly. That's why I won't use the Gimp, because moving those Windows around on my screen really gets on my nerves big time. I need *ALL* of my screen to do my work, especially when working on numerous images at the same time, and I need for my tools, all of them, to fit neatly along the right or left or top edges of the main programm window.

    We know that GimPhoto works in 32bit and we know that 64bit Ubuntu is supposed to be able to have it working also. Perhaps the conflict arises because the Gimp which is included in Ubuntu 9.04 also happens to be 64bit ... thereby automatically causing some type of conflict when 32bit GimPhoto tries to make use of some of the Gimp resources? Does anyone know if this could be true?

    On the other hand, if the Gimp is only 32bit, even on the 64bit Ubuntu, then there has to be some way to make GimPhoto work. Some way that should be fairly simple to figure out ... for someone with considerable more Linux/Ubuntu knowledge.

  71. you see my post above, we need source code of gimphoto to compile it for x64.

    I wonder why Gimphoto is GPL but without source code available ??? !!!

    I can't find it in download section ???

    ReplyDelete
  72. ntt2k,
    thanks for your suggestion about donation, i will try to setup it :)

    actually there is GimPhoto source code that can be compiled by yourself, there is links to the sources at Downloads section that goes to:
    http://www.gimphoto.com/2008/05/gimphoto-source-code-release.html

    but compiling from GimPhoto source not automatically produce GimPhoto complete packages, many additional plugins (around 20) must added manually beside many custom brusheset and gradientset that also added manually.

    in the next week i will try to setup Developer Pages with more detailed and complete instruction to build GimPhoto package.

    Siegfried,
    i agreed with your thought, i've been using Linux since RedHat 4.2, i've tried many Linux distro, i think the Linux distro with right direction is Ubuntu Linux (but for more easier setup maybe you can try Linux Mint that also based on Ubuntu)

  76. Hi again. I went ahead and posted the installation instructions for GimPhoto in a 64bit Ubuntu 9.04 environment within the "bugs" section. I wish you best of luck, but somehow I suspect that this programm doesn't have much of a future either. No, I'm not trying to be a jerk. It's just that I work with images professionally, sometimes as often as 7 days per week, and all of the good Image Editor flavors that I've been able to find online for Linux ... had so much in common with the Gimp that I'm beginning to wonder what the point is? Nothing that anyone else has ever done is actually *BETTER* than the Gimp, so why bother?

    KRITA is the one open source app. that does appear to be very promising, even though each new image opens in a new app. window. At least all of the functions are contained therein though. KRITA is still far too basic to be considered as a professional application.

    What really needs to happen, is for someone to come along, take a long hard look at what's needed in the industry, followed by creating an application from scratch ... an application that does *NOT* resemble the existing Gimp 90% or more. An application that is seriously being developed, and not just a few hours during the Weekends and things like that. I think that's the main problem with all of those other apps, that they're being ported and manipulated from something that already exists. Think about this for a moment ... !!!

    There is no top quality commercial image editing application (other than Gimp) with a desktop gui that I could find for linux. Considering the fact that linux is becoming ever more popular (finally), would it not make sense to be the first one who comes up with a *NEW* editing application, one that's similar to those apps. that HUNDREDS of MILLIONS of Windows Users have gotten used to during the past 10 - 15 years (Paint Shop Pro alone has over 40 million users worldwide)? And just imagine ... it would be owned, not open source, which means that it could turn into a mega money machine, as opposed to "just another" Gimp like open source app. I for one, would be happy to pay something for a quality working image editing application that provided me with the functions that I really need (one single primary all-encompassing programm window).

    Anyway, take care and have a great Weekend. I won't be back but if you ever come up with something similar to what I'm looking for, you can always send an email to: siggio3 -ATSYMBOL- accesspurple -DOT- com

    actually GimPhoto can be use with ufraw but for now ufraw plugin not installed by default, maybe on the next version, ufraw will be included by default.

    afaik rawtherapee is also based on ufraw? if it's true how it can be different?

  86. I just downloaded and installed GimPhoto yesterday, and began working on projects I previously created with GIMPshop. It's and far more stable than and not prone to freezing like GIMPshop, which was why I uninstalled it from my PC.

    I tried running GimPad but the dialog boxes keep flickering and flashing when they overlap one another, and won't respond to mouse clicks when that happens. Thus, I won't be using it, unless I can figure out how to stop the flickering.

    Although GimPhoto opens up several separate windows like I presume the original GIMP does, that's not really an issue for me. I'm a Photoshop veteran, and this free program rocks.

    ReplyDelete
  87. Rich Rodriguez,
    thank's for your kind words :)

    GimPad was designed only to work with single panel (tool options, brushes, fg/bg, undo, etc) like its default setting but if you tear one of those panel and setup your own panel then that will cause the problems.

  88. I have made my first wallpaper in my life a few days ago but my job was not ok. i dont want to pay for photoshop becouse it is my hoby and i dont have enough experience. i see there are very good tutorials about photoshop i cant fallow them with gimp but gimphoto is very good and more easy to take halp from photoshop users. i use the portible gimphoto v1.4.3 and i found a bug i think. when i try to write text on the image the sistem is crash. i mean text tool is not useable.

    i tried using GimPhoto 1.4.3 Portable (using package from this site) and it can write text without error (i test it to write text, change font, change color, even apply layer styles to it).

    maybe you can be more specific for the error message and what os do you use?

  90. thx for response, i use windows XP i have download first GimPhoto then copy GimPad inside GimPhoto with GimPad's all folders. also i use PSPI and Photoshop Brush loader plug-ins. when i just click on the text tool the application closed wihtout error message. my debuger says that "Unhandled exception at 0x63c943fc in gimphoto.exe: 0xC0000005: Access violation writing location 0xef7d4d18." its strange becouse only that tool gives this error.

    sorry but i don't know what cause the error maybe there are fonts that is not compatible but for first step try to run it using GimPhoto only (don't use GimPad) and without ABR or PSPI for make sure that GimPhoto text function is working ok.

    and also try it GimPad or GimPhoto on other computer for testing it if the error is also happened under other computer system.

  104. Love the software, I would like to say that I often have to click in the window to make the windows show up in Gimpad (they often disappear if I am not clicked in the window). Please fix this! Also, how do I add themes to Gimpad (I downloaded one (in Windows) from the website in the manual, but how do I add it to Gimpad (I added it to the directory but it does not show up anyways in Windows 7)

    ReplyDelete
  105. This is an update to my comment on 18 November 2009. I resolved the flickering panel issue with GimPad; I simply drag down the size of the overlapping and flickering windows (GIMP and Tool Options) and set them to the left side of the GimPad panel. It has worked wonderfully ever since.

    I love the adjustable Ink Tool feature. With just the right settings it's as free flowing, and better, than the brush feature in Adobe Illustrator.

    I use GimPhoto exclusively for coloring cartoons for use in greeting cards, e-cards and my comic strip blog. Great program; keep up the good work.

  109. I would like an option to zoom with the mouse's scroll wheel. I moved from PaintShopPro X2 and, not only because I've grown so used to it, found that zooming with the scroll wheel, and using the arrow buttons to pan up/down and left/right was a very useful option.

    ReplyDelete
  110. Anonymous,
    GIMP or GimPhoto can be setting to use mouse scroll wheel to zoom but that not set by default.

    Follow this step:
    1. From Image Menu > Edit > Preferences...
    2. Click (little triangle icon) with title "Input Devices" then it will display sub-option menu with title "Input Controllers"
    3. Click "Input Controllers"
    4. Look at Right Panel with title "Active Controllers", there is 2 devices on the list: Main Mouse Wheel and Main Keyboard.
    5. Double Click "Main Mouse Wheel"
    6. It will open dialog "Configure Input Controller"
    7. At section "Event" klik "Scroll Up"
    8. Klik button "Edit"
    9. It will open dialog "Select Controller Event Action"
    10. Klik (little rectangle icon) on "View"
    11. Search Action "Zoom In", select it and click "OK" button.
    12. That will set Mouse Wheel Scroll Up event to Zoom In action.
    13. Do it again for Event "Scroll Down" to do Action "Zoom Out".
    14. And now your mouse wheel ready to use for zooming image.

    i will create detailed tutorial about this steps but i need to find time maybe next week, and i will try to set it up as default for next GimPhoto version.

    thanks for your suggestions :)

  111. Where is the GNU/Linux version of GimPad? MS Windows blows...

    ReplyDelete
  112. Do we know how much it would cost to get an MDI developed for GTK so that GIMP could finally work with an MDI on GNU/Linux? Why don't you attempt to raise the money. The way you could do that is setup an form that allows users to submit an email, phone, and name along with a donation amount of how much they think they could afford to donate. Then if it appears that there may be enough money eventually to actually develop a MDI for GTK and GIMP then contact those people who said they would donate and let them know that the project was successful and to go ahead and send their contributions in.

    Under release history the download link for the 2008 GNU/Linux version of GimPhoto is broken.

    ReplyDelete
  113. Anonymous,
    I can't promise anything about GimPad for Linux because for now i still struggle to provide GimPhoto for Mac installer.

    After GimPhoto for Mac released then i will concentrate to prepare new version of GimPhoto.

    for MDI for GTK, there is few efforts to create it but never got supported by GTK dev team, even under Mac there is no MDI, many said that MDI broke the consistency of user interface.

    maybe you better ask to GTK team about MDI feature for GTK?

    Thanks for your info about broken link, now it's fixed :)

  114. I'm a teacher in Denmark. Right our school use an old version of PaintShopPro, and I really don't like it. Now I've installed GIMP, but I don't like the GUI. Long story short: Isn't there any way, even though it's not your primary interest, for you to create a lanquage-pack. If you do, a lot of people will be able to use the language-pack and create the all different translations.
    I for one, would gladly make a Danish translation.

    Please consider this, as it would help many people.

    actually i really want to be able to create language pack for GimPhoto because there are many requests about it.

    but GimPhoto menu modification process was done with simple hack then for now it not possible to use it with language pack.

    i must re-create menu modification for GimPhoto but using the proper way, the problem is there are no documentation about it.

    i will look what i can do about it and maybe if you also have any info about it then please email me at ekkians -at- gmail.

I am looking forward to trying it out and find out what all the fuss is about! Thanks a lot.

    ReplyDelete
  124. Well, here we are more than a year later once again.

    I wanted to point out, just in case anyone here missed the news, that the next release of Gimp which is supposed to take place within the next 30 days or so, will also have the built-in option to use Gimp as a single windowed application, similar to Adobe Photoshop, Paint Shop Pro, and others. Obviously once this happens there'll be no additional fine-tuning needed which more less makes GimPhoto obsolete at that point. See this link here:

    http://developer.gimp.org/NEWS

    No, I'm not trying to incense anyone. But that was the entire purpose of GimPhoto, right? Providing everyone the full ability of the Gimp within a single windowed application? Once this happens with the official version of Gimp, about 99% of the problems that anyone may have had in the past with GimPhoto would thereby be instantly resolved.

    Gimphoto single UI is DIFFERENT than GIMP single UI.

    ReplyDelete
  130. I am a little baffled by the GimPad bit, as I'm not sure what it is trying to achieve. I have used photoshop a lot, but am looking for a replacement. GIMP is OK except of course the UI is a foreign beast on Windows. Especially the floating windows. I thought from the screenshots that GimPad might solve that problem. In fact, GimPad simply adds yet another floating window. This baffles me, as there is no apparent benefit, and in fact the extra window hides the Layers window and the document window if you accidentally click on it (so not an MDI). On top of that, I have to use task-manager to kill GimPad because the File/Exit doesn't work.

    Maybe not tried on Win7 x64 yet?

  139. add file tree/organizer and Trays(!!!) (like Corel PaintShopPro has) to select/sort photos into different groups. Then allow to upload photos in trays directly to google picasa or ftp. Allow to drag and drop to/from these trays.

  140. I edited your "Who" text for you. I don't know if it will fit...

    Hi, I am Ek kian, I live in Surabaya, Indonesia.

    In my country, software piracy is at the worst level. Pirated software is used everywhere, from education to professional fields.

    I tried my best effort to use legal software, but Indonesians who use this kind of software don’t earn enough to buy legal versions. OS software costs about one month’s salary, and even CAD software equals two years’ salary. Many people simply choose not to buy the software.

    I can afford the OS software, but for applications I search open-source or freeware solutions to replace the expensive proprietary software, such as Photoshop.

    I teach web design and multimedia at a local college and university, so I use image-editing applications extensively. At campus I use Photoshop, but at home I can't afford it, so I searched free alternatives as a replacement. I found GIMP, and after using it for a year I missed the comfortable user interface of Photoshop. Then I heard about Gimpshop.

    Gimpshop brings a new menu structure that mimics Photoshop’s; even the menu-naming convention is exactly like Photoshop. Gimpshop made using GIMP more enjoyable, but Gimpshop was still based on GIMP 2.2, an old but stable version that lacks many features in the GIMP 2.3 development version, so I decided to try to modify the menu structure of GIMP 2.3 to mimic the Gimpshop menu.

    When modifying the GIMP 2.3.14 menu structure I realized that the naming convention that GIMP 2.3 has is already similar to Photoshop 7. Only a couple of menus are different. The new naming convention of GIMP 2.3 is easy to remember and logically matches the menu functions.

    After modifying the menu structure to more exactly mimic Gimpshop, I addressed the lack of features built-in to GIMP by incorporating functions provided by GIMP plugins. So I installed the plugins and created new submenus for them in the menu structure (ex: Save for Web, Batch Process, CMYK Separation, Photoshop plugin support, etc.)

    I also modified the brush set, installed more gradient sets, and other additional resources to bring a better out-of-the-box experience for GIMP.

    I hope my effort can reduce software piracy and also bring a more enjoyable image-editing application that is free for all.

    BIG THANKS to the GIMP development team and Gimpshop creators. \(^___^)/


    Best wishes and happiness for everyone,
    Ek kian

  146. Is this build capable of handling Raw files? I have never been able to make Raw files work with GIMP. That is why I have not been able to use it.

    ReplyDelete
  147. Anonymous,
    For using RAW file with Gimphoto, you must install UFRaw GIMP Plugin first, you can get it from: http://ufraw.sourceforge.net/
    there is official guide for it:
    http://ufraw.sourceforge.net/Guide.html
    or if you prefer more simple tutorial specific for Windows platform then follow this tutorial:
    http://digital-photography-school.com/opening-raw-images-in-gimp-with-ufraw-for-windows-the-basics

    I will include UFRaw plugin in the next version of Gimphoto, so stay tune! :)

    Curves in Photoshop has eyedroppers that I find useful for color corrections. When I clicked on help to see if the eyedroppers were somewhere else in gimphoto, I got the message that I didn't have the help plug-in. I don't see it listed on the website.

  150. Can we possibly have the video with sound to explain the software better? The current one is very difficult to follow. Thanks

  151. If I maximize the window of a picture within Gimphoto 24.1, the Gimpad in my opinion makes too many pixels useless in the hight of the display. Also Fullscreen F11 does not make it better.
    I think the 4 buttons of Gimpad wouldn't need to be visible anymore if a picture window is maximized within Gimpad.
    One step more this window handling would be great:
    If I maximize a window within Gimphoto, this maximized window would become Gimphoto. (One only title bar, stating the filename and infos right next after the program name Gimphoto!)

  152. I was so excited....until GimPhoto installed inself on my Windows 7 C drive without giving me any option to install it elsewhere. My C drive is a very small SSD so I have to install all my non system software to a new, larger SSD - my B drive. This is the first program of many, many programs I have installed that did not give me the option to choose my install location. That's not good, not good at all.

  156. For the last 15 days, I have reinstalled Windows 10. I am trying to install the best and easiest software possible. I'm tired of using PhotoShop. My needs are simple. Edit the website banner, add a few transparent images, add a background. Write some text.

    I didn't think about GIMP until now because it seemed too complicated to me.

    Today, I stumbled upon Gimphoto quite by accident. I can't wait to try it. However, it saddens me that the software has not been updated for a long time. Is there a possibility to get Gimphoto in a newer version?

    Thanks in advance. Regards, Oscar
