It can also load via libMagick, so it should support XCF, though I don't know if it'll do 2.9 XCF. It has quite fancy colour management, and supports complex and double-precision images too. I use it for medical imaging. The GUI is called nip2, so "sudo apt-get install nip2", or the gentoo equivalent. To view an image, run "nip2 thing.tif", or start nip2 and drag a file in, or use File / Open. You'll see a workspace with a thumbnail of your image as "A1". Doubleclick on the thumbnail to open a view window. The image may be too dark or too light, click View / Toolbar / Display Control to add a couple of sliders to the window. The left one sets the scale (it's log), the right the offset. There's a gear menu at the left which turns false colour on or off and controls how the colorimetric tags are interpreted. View / Toolbar / Status is useful too. The main window is rather like a spreadsheet: you can type in formula and link cells and they all recalculate. Try "A1 * 1000", for example, or click Toolkits / Widgets / Scale and try "A1 * A2". There's a quick intro to the program in the manual: http://www.vips.ecs.soton.ac.uk/supported/current/doc/html/nipguide/nipguidese1.html Please mail me if you have any questions, or use the github tracker: https://github.com/jcupitt/nip2/issues John _______________________________________________ gimp-developer-list mailing list List address: gimp-developer-list@xxxxxxxxx List membership: https://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gimp-developer-list List archives: https://mail.gnome.org/archives/gimp-developer-list
