![[Terrible's ad]](http://shallowsky.com/blog/images/trips/guy.jpg)
At the Terrible's Sands Regency in Reno, Dave noticed this ad on the table
in the room. "Wait -- isn't that the same guy, twice?"
Sure enough -- not just the same person, but the same photo, with
different hair and neck pixeled in.
I guess Photoshop/GIMP artists are cheaper than photo models these days.
We spotted the same model in other ads around the hotel, sometimes
masquerading as other races as well.

On Linux Planet yesterday: an article on how to write scripts for chdk,
the Canon Hack Development Kit -- Part 3 in my series on CHDK.
Time-Lapse
Photography with your Inexpensive Canon Camera (CHDK p. 3)
I found that CHDK scripting wasn't quite as good as I'd hoped -- some
of the functions, especially the aperture and shutter setting, were
quite flaky on my A540 so it really didn't work to write a bracketing
script. But it's fantastic for simple tasks like time-lapse photography,
or taking a series of shots like the Grass Roots Mapping folk do.
If you're at OSCON and you like scripting and photos, check out my
session on Thursday afternoon at 4:30:
Writing
GIMP Plug-ins and Scripts, in which I'll walk through several GIMP
scripts in Python and Script-Fu and show some little-known tricks
you can do with Python plug-ins.

How many times have you wanted an easy way of making arrows in GIMP?
I need arrows all the time, for screenshots and diagrams. And there
really isn't any easy way to do that in GIMP. There's a script-fu for
making arrows in the Plug-in registry,
but it's fiddly and always takes quite a few iterations to get it right.
More often, I use a collection of arrow brushes I downloaded from somewhere
-- I can't remember exactly where I got my collection, but there are
lots of options if you google gimp arrow brushes -- then
use the free rotate tool to rotate the arrow in the right direction.
![[GIMP Arrow Designer]](http://shallowsky.com/software/gimp/arrowdesigner/arrowdesignerT.jpg)
The topic of arrows came up again on #gimp yesterday, and Alexia Death
mentioned her script-fu in
GIMP Fx Foundary
that "abuses the selection" to make shapes, like stars and polygons.
She suggested that it would be easy to make arrows the same way, using
the current selection as a guide to where the arrow should go.
And that got me thinking about Joao Bueno's neat Python plug-in demo that
watches the size of the selection and updates a dialog every time the
selection changes. Why not write an interactive Python script that
monitors the selection and lets you change the arrow by changing the
size of the selection, while fine-tuning the shape and size of the
arrowhead interactively via a dialog?
Of course I had to write it. And it works great! I wish I'd written
this five years ago.
This will also make a great demo for my OSCON 2010 talk on
Writing
GIMP Scripts and Plug-ins, Thursday July 22. I wish I'd had it for
Libre Graphics Meeting last month.
It's here: GIMP
Arrow Designer.

A couple of weeks I was looking for a good graphic of the LA Dodgers’ logo to use as a “bug” for wallpapers I make from images from Dodgers games and I found a nice pack of vectors for all the MLB teams. There was just one problem. It was an Adobe Illustrator image file with an .ai filename extension. How the hell do you open those in Linux? After doing a bit of searching I found ai2svg, a script that converts .ai files to .svg files that Inkscape can open without a problem.
Today I was checking for updates to threads I follow at the Ubuntu Forums and found some great news from davim in the thread for Gloobus, an app that brings an OSX-style “Quicklook” file previewing to Linux, and found some great news.
You can open adobe illustrator files by changing their extention from ai to pdf, gloobus showld [sic] be able to preview .ai files by treating them as pdf files
what do you think?
Hot diggigity damn! Not only do I get a thumbnail of the image in Nautilus but I was able to import it into Gimp to select just a part of the overall image, such as the Dodgers logo from a page of 40 or so team and league logos.
And for lovers of Gloobus badchoice has asked davim to file a bug to track the feature request.
Yooouge thanks to davim for this incredibly handy tip.

Are you looking for HDR Creation Software in Ubuntu? I recently tried 2 methods and they are :
-
Qtpfsgui, don't let the name makes you think that this is another command-line-driven head-ache-generator Linux software. As a matter a fact this software is very intuitive and easy to use. After installation, just run it and click the New HDR icon to bring up a HDR creation wizard that will lead you step by step to create your HDR photo. Easy...
It is available in Ubuntu repository, so fire up Ubuntu Software Center to get it.
-
with GIMP plugin, by installing this script your GIMP can instantly makes fake HDR look. Get the script here, the page is in Italian but the script is in English.
Copy the downloaded script to /home/username/.gimp-2.6/scripts/
Give it a try.
keyword : ubuntu, HDR

I'm back from Europe (and still recovering from a cold picked up
right after I got back).
And today I have a GIMP quickie on Linux Planet discussing three ways
to add three-dimensional looks to otherwise flat images in GIMP:

I've been so busy with
Libre Graphics
Meeting -- a whirlwind of GIMP caucuses, open source graphics,
free art and sharing of ideas --
that I forgot to notice that part 2 of my kdenlive
article was up on Linux Planet.
Making
Movies in Linux with Kdenlive, part 2: Spice up Those Kdenlive Videos.

Tertarik dengan post yang telah dibuat oleh bro Adi tentang satu plugin dipanggil Resynthesizer dalam GIMP. Plugin ini mampu menghilangkan sesuatu kewujudan dalam gambar sepertimana fungsi terbaru dalam Photoshop CS5 iaitu Content-Aware Fill.
Dalam ubuntu, sila masukkan command berikut untuk memasangnya dan cara penggunaanya adalah seperti dalam video diatas.
sudo apt-get install gimp-resynthesizer
Amacam?
