Hi,
I was to test GimPhoto features when the spashscreen popups to agress my eyes with a political message requesting me to go green (whatever that means) to fight a non-problem setup by scientologists experts in numerology and tarots.

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?

Liz,
i testing Gimphoto with Gimpad using Windows 7 Starter Edition, and it is working fine, including Text Tool, even i can used it with Layer Effects script.

i think the problem is your Windows 7 UAC (User Access Control) try disable it or you can also try Gimphoto Portable Edition, maybe it works.

Just downloaded Gimphoto, and two times already, it has froze on me. Once while trying to use the text tool, and then right before I was able to save. I'm also not sure about differences between Gimphoto and just regular Gimp...they seem the same to me...thanks anyways...

Siegfried,
Gimphoto single UI is DIFFERENT than GIMP single UI.
Gimphoto single UI is much more like Photoshop UI and GIMP single UI is just like Firefox TAB UI.

2010-12-15T22:43:50.796+07:00

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.

Hi, I've been reading a lot of good things about your program GimPhoto. Although I read there wasn't a version for Mac. :( I am surely hoping this is something you are currently in the process of working on. I am looking forward to trying it out and find out what all the fuss is about! Thanks a lot.

You can go to DEV section in this site for download Gimphoto 1.4.3 source code in compressed format (ZIP) because i never use CVS, SVN or GIT.

purity,
actually when GimPhoto 1.4.3 created GMIC is called Greycstoration, and it's already included with GimPhoto, you can access it from Menu:
Photo > Noise > Greycstoration

for the next version of GimPhoto, i will include GMIC.

2010-09-16T06:12:23.662+07:00

Please consider offering a portable version with G'MIC integrated (in addition to the current portable)

.. as providing those directions to friends and family is vexatious. As is I unpack GIMPhoto, unpack G'MIC into GIMPhoto, archive, post online, and re-distribute (to small group).

Johannes,
Thanks for your kind words :)

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.

Thank you ( ^^ )m

2010-06-10T15:08:43.120+07:00

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.

Thank you all for this great software.

All the best,
Johannes

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?

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.

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 :)
