A note: when using G’MIC in GIMP 2.8 in Debian, I’d select “New Layer” as “Output” and the resulting layer would have the filter name and slider values as the layer name. This was really useful and helped me a ton when coming back to a file that I hadn’t edited in a while. I’ll also sharpen and image with like 5 different settings and pick the best one. Perhaps @David_Tschumperle knows something about it?
@patdavid: can you pass along the word that “Help” > “Search and Run a Command” is an absolute game changer. I don’t even go to the menus anymore, I use that hotkey whenever possible. Fantastic.
Concerning the heal selection tool, I will look into that in the next days… it looks like some incompatibility between your python versions and the supplied plug-ins.
Hi, I have RHEL6 at work, which only has GLIBC 2.12, not 2.15 like the package requires. Would it be possible to build it with glibc 2.12 compatibility, perhaps by building on CentOS 6 or with LibcWrapGenerator?
GLibc is not included in the AppImage bundle. So, when running, the application will use the glibc version provided by the host system.
However, the AppImage is only compatible with systems whose GLibc version is equal or newer than the one for which the AppImage was built. Hence the need to build it on relatively old systems, and eventually compile from sources the libraries that are not recent enough (like LCMS and LensFun).
Elle’s version has some much improved support for working colorspaces other than sRGB, and particularly for editing in linear gamma colorspaces… in many places, the standard GIMP simply assumes that the pixel data are in sRGB colorspace.
Oooh, that definitely sounds like it’s worth checking out!
Will that appimage also include PhF and G’mic? Any idea when that might be released? Will it have a different name to diffrientiate it from yours in the menu?
This alternative appimage will have the same plugins included, and will be called CCE (for Color Corrected Experimental). Partha is already providing CCE packages for win and osx, and I will take care of the Linux appimage.
All configurations will go in a separate folder, so you can safely keep the normal and cce versions together…
