Gimp Lisanet De

'GIMP On OS X' was a separate project of GIMP, headed by an independent developer with the avatar 'Lisanet', who created custom builds of GIMP from the official gimp.org release. These custom GIMP On OS X builds had additional features and some mods in the menu structure to make easier for users who used Photoshop.

1. In the menu, click help, and then procedure browser. In the procedure browser search for 'file-ps-load'. If it's not listed, Gimp won't open ps or eps files. My version of Gimp doesn't have this. But I haven't tried downloading the current version, maybe the current version has this enabled.
2. GIMP (GNU Image Manipulation Program) is an open source, and freely distributed piece of software used for photo manipulation and retouching.
3. App-core-gimp-user-install.c.diff Ah! This one looks interesting. It adds some migration code for the config in /Library/GIMP (apparently 2.8.2) to /Library/Application Support/GIMP (since 2.8.4). Code checked and does some bad things (like moving config folder of older versions!) so I basically rewrote it fully.

Gimp 2.8 blend time

So, I've recently switched from gimp 2.6 to gimp 2.8, and I found that the time taken to draw gradients is far longer in 2.8 than in 2.6

To test, I made a blank black canvas at 1024px, then drew a radial gradient from center to edge. 2.6 drew it in under a second. 2.8 took 8.7 seconds to complete.

Is this something that others have noticed? Is it a result of the move to GEGL? Will it be fixed?

Gimp 2.8 blend time

Hi,

So, I've recently switched from gimp 2.6 to gimp 2.8, and I found that the time taken to draw gradients is far longer in 2.8 than in 2.6

To test, I made a blank black canvas at 1024px, then drew a radial gradient from center to edge. 2.6 drew it in under a second. 2.8 took 8.7 seconds to complete.

Is this something that others have noticed?

Yes, I can reproduce it with the 2.8 builds for Mac and Windows. The slowdown does not only affect the blend tool. This seems to be related with color management. In the Windows version you can speedup the blend tool among some other things by disabling the color management filter in View/Display filters.. This does a speedup for me, but it's only a temporary solution, as this only affects the currently open picture and only for this session. Also see bug #645345 in Bugzilla for a similar problem.
It's the same problem with the Mac version. 2.8 is slower than 2.6, but unfortunately the View/Display filters.. trick doesn't work there.

Is it a result of the move to GEGL?

I think so.

Will it be fixed?

I hope so. This bug tempers the GIMP 2.8 honeymoon and I'm already thinking of staying with 2.6 for production or further using PS.

Or, the other way around: never switch to x.0 versions.. ;-)

Best regards,

grafxuser

GIMP 2.8 is not ported to GEGL.

If I try this on git master (which IS ported to GEGL), it takes muchless than a second on my linux machine, and is even faster onmy Mac, even though there is zero threading and only one processorused.

I don't currently have 2.8 installed on this Mac, but it can hardlybe slower, unless the threading got broken in GLib, try to set#processors to 1 in prefs and try again.

Also, what build are you using? Native or X11?

thanks Mitch, for your reply.
You're right, on the Mac it depends on the number of processors. Varying this number in the preferences dialog between 1 and 16 showed significant differences. The operation takes 1 second if #processors is set to 1 and about 8 seconds if it's set to 16 processors.BTW: my Mac has 1 processor with 2 cores. It's quite pointless to be able to set #processors in prefs to 16. The upper bound for the input value should be the actual number of processors or cores. Is this a known issue or shall I file a new bug in Bugzilla?

Also, what build are you using? Native or X11?

How can I find this out? I used the fresh 2.8 version from gimp.lisanet.de. When running GIMP, the X window is open, too. So I'm sure it's the X11 build. How could I otherwise find out whether the Mac build is native?

Best regards,

The native Mac build has the menu all on the top just like all other Mac apps.

Please file it in bugzilla, it's pointless to use threading if it makesthings slower, and we have no code to determine the #cpus on the macanyway, so we should default to one.

My 2.9 install on linux (Debian, 64 bit) also detected the number of cpus incorrectly. I'm using a Quad Core and it defaulted to 8 threads and it also made some things slower. 2.8 worked fine though, it's set to 4 threads and I can't notice any slowness because of that.

Native Mac version

Thanks. Until now I didn't know of the native Mac build at all. Are these the versions from Macports or Fink? Where can I get it from, otherwise?
I always used Simone's build (gimp.lisanet.de) and was quite lucky with it. But currently there's a bug with the curves tool (bug #675906),which makes photo editing with GIMP harder and I'd like to check this with the native version, too.

I just tried this on 2.9 (SUSE) and it did it in less than a second.

However all the 'Shaped' gradients took ages, like a minute or morecompared to a few seconds in 2.6

Ignore any threading in 2.9, it's all going away and transparentlyhandled by GEGL/OpenCL.

Hi,

it's a pain if the Mac OS X support team changes the website and thedownload URLs every once in a while. It would be really nice if theApple users could get their act together and provide a single place thatprovides information and downloads for GIMP on Mac OS X.

We can't even link to your website as it seems to only provideinformation in German?! What about moving your packages towilber-loves-apple.org instead of duplicating that effort?

Gimp 2.6.x for Mac OS X released

The Mac release of Gimp 2.6.1 at lisanet.de has exceeded my expectations thusfar. 2.6.0 was rough in comparison on my machine, with many buttonsinaccessible and features unavailable. I am running Leopard on a MacBook Proand this release runs much, much faster and cleaner on my laptop then Gimp 2.4did on a good day. Text rendering is more streamlined and filters aredefinitely running fast and smooth. I will continue exploring the newfeatures and will comment if any troubles arise. Lydia

sorry for the pain with the current situation of Gimp on Macs. It's a pittythat it just came to this situation. I don't want to recall the discussions onwilber-loves-apple, but as I'm one of the developers who did most of theinitial way how Gimp was built on WLA, the project is somehow stillcontinuing, despite the new URL..

As I never wanted to take over the lead role in providing packages in thefirst place, the page started as a small site, documenting my efforts. Now, asWLA seems to be down, I'll try to translate the pages. I can drop you a linewhen it's done.
