Photo Forum / Digital Photography / Digital Photo / August 2006gimp on linux
Hello all, I find that certain important features of gimp don't work on linux e.g. unsharp mask. It woks well on windows XP. Has anyone else experienced this? Any comments gratefully received. Ivan >Hello all, I find that certain important features of gimp don't work on >linux e.g. unsharp mask. It woks well on windows XP. Has anyone else >experienced this? Any comments gratefully received. >Ivan I've used various version 2.2 releases, and am now using version 2.3.9, and USM worked fine on all of them. I basically have a Slackware Linux system, but compile and install GIMP locally. What happens when you try it?  SignatureFloyd L.

If you've got a problem with it, you can blame it on me, but this is what I think. I am not the official spokes-person for any Government, Commercial or Educational institution.

The earliest versions of the GIMP required Motif, which was an expensive add-on on Linux systems. I used the GIMP on Suns years before I ever saw it running on Linux. The OP didn't say which distribution or which version of the GIMP he's using. In any event, unsharp mask works fine here on Fedora Core 5, GIMP 2.2.12.

It was running on Linux, using Lesstif (a free Motif) in 1996. Before that it required Motif libraries (~$150) to compile, but free binaries were available too. I'll admit that I certainly never bothered to buy Motif... but really $150 doesn't make it "expensive" when you also talk about running it on a Sun workstation... ;-( >The OP didn't say which distribution or which version of the GIMP he's >using.

Perhaps some plug-in or library module wasn't installed. >> Hello all, I find that certain important features of gimp don't work on >> linux e.g. unsharp mask. It woks well on windows XP.

Hello All, your comments gave me confidence to try again. I found this: on linux unsharp mask worked only on a copy of the image window and there is no preview. On winXP it works on the original image and there is a preview. Curious! Thanks, Ivan > Hello All, your comments gave me confidence to try again.

Curious! >Thanks, 1) You have an *old* version of GIMP (no preview). 2) Try doing "Select -> All" before you run the USM. Regardless, update your gimp to something not quite so long of tooth, because in addition to the preview there are *lots* of other nice things. I've just moved to Version 2.3.9, which they say is the last step before releasing 2.4. I'm still stumbling over some of the differences, so I can't really say how much better it is or why, but so far nothing has really annoyed me. SignatureFloyd L.

It has lanczos interpolation - seems to work fine although I note that it is included in the bug list for misbehaving in "undo". Didn't seem to be a problem to me. Supposed Colour Management may be a bit overstated. From what I can see there is no colour aware printing. Compatibility with ICC V4 for printing seems to me to be the whole desirable end-point of colour management (then again I'm concerned about getting as close as possible to the same from my printer as I can see on screen - and I couldn't give a rat's $%#& if an image I post on the web looks different on your monitor than mine - as it will be yours that is profiled wrong anyway!) > Hello all, I find that certain important features of gimp don't work on > linux e.g. unsharp mask.

Could you have a different version of gimp on your Linux system than Windows, and the location of the unsharp mask changed? I recall there was a big change between 1.x and 2.x gimp. I haven't played with the 2.4 betas, but there might be a change there as well.
