Using #Gimp on a Mac and ... it won't edit photos any more. I tried resetting, reinstalling, searching the web like mad. Can open photos and do almost anything I want, including adjusting levels, but literally nothing using the edit buttons works, so no image editing 😢
(Exception: bucket fill works if I'm not in gradient mode, but it fills with the background color, not the foregound).
I mean, how was the Blender community able to create an industry-level software beloved by both enthusiasts and professionals and supported by the big players? Meanwhile the #Photoshop users, despite being ripped-off and spat on daily by #Adobe, won't touch GIMP with a ten meter pole and it squarely remains the weapon of choice only for occasional users?
Whoa, the Government of Canada has an incredibly detailed page on the dark art of scanning photographs with a flatbed scanner. It is full of practical & theoretical info, incl. color theory (color space, models, gamuts, accuracy, distance, illuminance, bit depth, dynamic range, etc.), common scanning issues… and you can even the #Coloraid (Wolf Faust) "IT 8.7/2" color calibration target referenced, plus #GIMP screenshots 🤯
Dear fediverse, what is an adequate freeware (even better, if #openSource) replacement for #Adobe#Photoshop for #Windows? Current needs: take a painting made by hand, make it a vector graphics image and do some other stuff with it. Sorry for being so vague, I'm totally blind, it's for my wife who is not on fediverse (yet). Thank you so much! #Help
The #gimp-team started assembling in #rennes for this years #Libregraphicsmeeting / #lgm2024. Great to meet long time friends again. Thanks to all the GIMP-donors for making this possible!

that's exactly the one we wanted to go for. since this ends up on a 128x64 display we had to thicken the lines massively (#gimp), but then it was too much detail to be recognizable.
the one on the right won. also had to thicken the lines, but it came out nicely, see my other posts. we still did some pixel level "fixes" after the shots I provided.
Today, I had to fill in a #PDF form to send to my insurer. I opened it with #GNOME Document Viewer and filled in the various fields without any problem 🙂
Unfortunately, at the end of the document, we have to write our name and sign, but the application doesn't offer any options for adding text and inserting an image 😬
I OFTEN use #Gimp for editing PDF (I lose less time in a lot of use cases).
I did, for instance, to mask or blur some parts of official documents I had to send to an administration this week.
