Comments on: Questions please! http://meetthegimp.org/questions-please/ A videopodcast about the free graphics program Gimp Wed, 07 Jan 2009 19:47:43 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=abc hourly 1 By: Mathias http://meetthegimp.org/questions-please/comment-page-1/#comment-6532 Mathias Sat, 12 Jul 2008 08:01:19 +0000 http://meetthegimp.org/?p=240#comment-6532 Hi Rolf! Ok, I will post the first question - maybe you can say some words about it... I love HDR images and used this technique quite a while under Win with Photomatix. But since one year I only have Linux anymore and therefore the tool Qtpfsgui. Basically a neat tool but I am absolutely not happy with the results of the tone mapping. Then I heart a lot of DRI. Principally the same, but without a 32bit step in between. At the first approaches I used Gimp for creating some DRI - hiding and revealing special parts of each layer (each containing one picture of different exposure) with masks. That's possible but it lasts forever and especially around borders of objects it's not always that clean. Do you know about an automation (an external tool or a script for Gimp) or simply a better method than the layer approach? Here is my last result, you can use it in your show if you want to: http://www-user.tu-chemnitz.de/~limat/ml/gallery/image.php?twg_album=Blog%2F768___080702+Kongsberg+Jazzfestival&twg_show=IMG_2433.JPG If you need the basic photos just mail me... :) Thanks a lot, Mathias Hi Rolf!

I usually answer faster than just now. End of term and the trip to Croatia..... BTW, I am writing this in my hotel in Cakovec just before breakfast and the "Live Recording". And I am a bit nervous. ;-) Yes, I follow all the comments - they are feeding my ego. ;-) And some offer possibilities to enhance certain body parts and have to be weeded out.

Though I know this tutorials since a longe time, I now started seriously with learning from it. My question is, do you also look to comments from old episods. Thank´s Rudl I have an offtopic question.

Other than that, well, it's all good... I would like to know why Professor Steinort was not given a 4 star hotel room, complete with free mini bar.
