LXF releases PDFs of a bunch of my tutorials

Wednesday, January 20th, 2010

It’s a good thing I check my blog stats otherwise I never would have known about this.  Linux Format has released, through TuxRadar, the PDFs for 18 of my GIMP tutorials from my column in their magazine.  Pretty cool.  I’d always hoped they’d get a wider net audience.  Too bad I can’t put them on [...]

Hubble color calibration SDK for Linux

Tuesday, January 19th, 2010

This is pretty high end so not typically what I would refer readers to but if you need a high end colorimeter the Hubble from X-Rite now has an SDK available for Linux.  Apparently this was built for cineSpace, a Color management system for the film and television industries.  Unfortunately I don’t think this SDK [...]

Building GIMP 2.7.x from source

Wednesday, September 2nd, 2009

I’m preparing to update my GIMP book and decided it would be best to work from the source repository.  A long time ago that repository was in CVS and you needed to download a bunch of GTK related packages as prerequisites.  This was actually pretty easy.  Then things moved to SVN and things were still [...]

Gallery updates

Saturday, July 18th, 2009

I’ve updated my Linux Format gallery with the final images from my GIMP tutorials in that magazine.  These are recent images of some slightly more advanced topics: adding decay to a cityscape photo, a fire goddess and advanced star fields.  The magazine doesn’t print the final large version of the image very often so I [...]

Saturday, March 7th, 2009

I found a translation fo the GIMP Paint Shop PDF documentation.  See the update at the bottom of the GIMP Paint Shop announcement.
Update: I’ve also rewritten this translation back into OpenOffice and PDF formats and improved upon the format and grammer slightly.
Enjoy!

Outlining text and the value of online tutorials

Tuesday, February 10th, 2009

A new GIMP user was having problems outlining text.  He’d found multiple tutorials online but was frustrated trying to use
them:
> Tonight, I simply want to create a text and then outline it as a text.
> Then I googled.  But the thing is, I cannot follow any of the
> tutorials I dug out.  Not because I [...]

Poll on post-production tools

Saturday, February 7th, 2009

The Digital Photography School has posted a poll on what tools are most favored for post-production work.  Included in the list is the local favorite, GIMP.  Take a moment to wander over to the poll and let them know you’re intested in tutorials with GIMP.
It’s interesting to note that the list consists of tools that [...]

GIMP in Hollywood slides

Sunday, February 1st, 2009

I’ve posted the slide presentation from a talk I gave last April in the Tutorials section.  This will be old information for long time GIMP users but might be of some interest to those who don’t know the interesting history of GIMP and the visual effects industry.
The slides aren’t not visually exciting.  It was only [...]

GIMP and Linux in Hollywood

Sunday, February 1st, 2009

This is a brief overview of how GIMP and open source have evolved with the visual effects industry.  Talk was given at the Colorado Springs Open Source Meetup in April 2008.  Much of this information is old news to long time GIMP users, but some may still find it interesting.
