Jika anda terbiasa menggunakan Photoshop dan ingin mencari alternative software yang open source, tidak ada salahnya anda mencoba Gimpshop. Gimpshop adalah GNU Image Manipulation Program yang dibuat oleh Scott Moschella. Dibuat berdasarkan software GIMP yang dirubah menu, tampilan dan lainnya sehingga mirip dengan Photoshop dan mempermudah pengguna yang terbiasa dengan Photoshop.

Tidak semua fitur pada Photoshop tersedia pada Gimpshop karena base projectnya adalah GIMP project, namun GIMP sendiri merupakan software yang cukup handal untuk software jenis ini. Bagi yang tidak biasa menggunakan GIMP dan lebih nyaman menggunakan Photoshop, tidak ada salahnya mencobanya. Bagi pengguna ubuntu, bila ingin mencobanya dapat mendownload Gimpshop 2.2.11 deb (32 bit).

Untuk lebih jelasnya tentang Gimpshop, bisa melihat screenshoot perbandingannya bila dibandingkan dengan Photoshop. Seluruh tampilan menunya tidak berbeda.

Har suttit en liten stund med bilderna jag och Johan var ute och tog för någon vecka sedan och eftersom att datorn jag använder i huvudsak bara har Linux så är det omöjligt att rakt av köra program från Adobe. Varför det är så tänker jag personligen inte förklara, det är rätt svårt att ge en vettig förklaring som inte blir som en c- eller d-uppsats.

Saken är den, jag är _inte_ alls hemma i GIMP för tidigare har jag mer eller mindre alltid använt Windows eller OS X och nu sitter jag väl mer eller mindre i skiten? GIMP är inte gjort för att vara en klon på Photoshop, även om teamet bakom GIMP gjorde mer eller mindre en klon på photoshop (GIMPshop). Det är heller inte så att GIMP är det enda bildbehandlingsprogrammet som är f/oss och kan köras i Linux, dock är det det mest kända. Hurvida det är mest välutvecklat låter jag någon annan säga, jag vet inte. Därför avstår jag i att speckulera. Vad var det ens jag pratade om? Jo! Jag försöker lära mig GIMP.
Vad som hade tagit mig max 5, nu menar jag verkligen max 5 tog mig en halvtimme mig ungefär 25-30 minuter. Det är nästan 5 gånger så lång tid! Visst, det finns en hel del plug-ins till GIMP som jag inte har varken kollat eller letat efter. Min lösning nu är UFRaw och GIMP, tidigare har den bara varit Photoshop.

Camera Raw har sina egenheter, t ex att radera färginställningarna som kameran skriver i raw-filen. Det är ganska irriterande men lätt löst genom att göra egna förinställningar, kan bara vara lite lurigt att göra exakt likadant men vem det är inte superviktigt. Jag vet inte riktigt vad jag vill få fram av den här jävla texten, kanske är det lite gnäll på GIMP? Det är isåfall inte för att det är ett “dåligt” program, utan snarare tvärtom. Det är mycket kompetent och man kan göra väldigt mycket i det. Saken är den att Photoshop och andra program från Adobe är branchstandard, lite som MacOS också är lite branchstandard bland folk som arbetar med t ex bildbehandling.

Nu ska jag iallafall försöka lära mig lite mer GIMP, så länge kommer ett smakprov på en s/v-konvertering som inte är riktigt 100 men känns som att jag börjar få koll, om några timmar så släpper det nog. Annars gör det väl imorgon om inte annat.

Storia e identità di una delle Piazze più accoglienti di Roma.

L’area di Piazza Navona a Roma ricalca le dimensioni e la forma dell’antico  Stadio di Domiziano di  epoca romana, un’arena lunga oltre 270 metri e larga circa 55, costruita intorno all’86 d.C. ed in grado di ospitare fino a 33000 persone.

Dopo essere stata restaurata da Alessandro Severo, ed aver trovato l’attuale sistemazione per intervento di Papa Innocenzo X, nella piazza furono organizzati fino al XIX secolo, vari generi di spettacoli, celebrazioni, e durante il mese di agosto, quando la piazza veniva allagata chiudendo gli scarichi delle fontane, perfino naumachie. Il nome “Piazza Navona” trova probabilmente origine dalle competizioni che si svolgevano nell’area; dal termine latino “in agone” infatti, si sarebbe nel tempo passati al volgare “nagone” e definitivamente a “navona”.
Piazza Navona è longitudinalmete segnata dalla presenza di tre fontane; le laterali “Fontana del Nettuno o dei Calderoni” e “Fontana del Moro” si devono ai disegni di Giacomo della Porta, mentre la centrale “Fontana dei 4 fiumi” fu realizzata dal Bernini fra il 1648 ed il 1651 d.C. Di fronte a quest’ultima sorge, sulle rovine dello stadio di Domiziano e di un antica basilica ancora visitabili dai sotterranei dell’edificio, la chiesa a croce greca di Sant’Agnese in Agone, che, progettata inizialmente da G.Rinaldi, fu completata nel 1652 dal Borromini con la caratteristica facciata concava, i campanili gemelli e la cupola.

Storica è la rivalita fra i due architetti Bernini e Borromini, tanto radicata nel tempo da dar vita ad una leggenda che ancora oggi è possibile vivere in Piazza Navona. Questa leggenda vive tra la chiesa di S Agnese e la fontana dei 4 fiumi posta proprio al centro della piazza. Tralasciamo quindi le altre due fontane poste agli estremi della piazza, cioè la Fontana del Moro -un etiope in lotta con un delfino- verso Palazzo Braschi, e quella del Nettuno -verso Lungotevere.

La fontana dei 4 fiumi è costituita da una grande vasca dalla quale  si erge un obelisco sormontato da una colomba. L’obelisco è alto oltre sedici metri. Con il basamento, la fontana e la colomba si arriva a superare i trenta metri.Ai quattro lati dell’obelisco sono poste le colossali statue raffiguranti quattro fiumi, simbolo ciascuno di uno dei quattro continenti allora conosciuti: il Nilo per l’Africa, il Gange per l’ Asia, il Danubio per l’ Europa ed il Rio della Plata per l’America.

La sovrastante colomba rappresenta lo Spirito Santo, lo Spirito di evangelizzazione che deve estendersi ai quattro continenti, a tutta la Terra. Poichè  all’epoca non erano state ancora individuate le sorgenti del Nilo, il fiume viene raffigurato con il volto coperto.

In epoca successiva, nel 1657, ultimati i lavori di ristrutturazione di una antica chiesa (risalente all’VIII secolo, edificata sulle fondamenta del lupanare ove venne martirizzata Santa Agnese, cui la chiesa è dedicata), il Borromini completò la facciata concava della chiesa, la cupola ed i campanili della stessa. Nel complesso della piazza, la chiesa è sorge proprio di fronte alla fontana dei 4 fiumi. E da qui nasce la leggenda che vuole che il Nilo si copra il volto per non vedere l’orrore dell’opera del Borromini, mentre, dall’altro lato della fontana, il Rio tende la sua possente mano destra per ripararsi dal crollo del complesso borrominiano.

In risposta a questa provocazione Borromini pone una piccola statua in marmo bianco raffigurante la Vergine Santa Agnese, detta la Sora Agnesina dai romani, con le mani al petto in attegiamewnto rassicurante come voler dire che non cadrà mai.

Flyer ipotetico per un ipotetico evento culturale. Nell’esempio è stato ipotizzato un evento trasversale che coinvolge diversi luoghi di Roma, sotto il payoff “Roma, una storia mille storie”. Ogni luogo avrebbe un’immagine caratterizzante il luogo ed il logo (in questo caso il logo Navona).

FROM THE PUBLISHER;

A free Open Source image editor that is similar to the popular Adobe Photoshop. Specifically, GIMPShop is a version of the GIMP that has been edited to be more user-friendly for Photoshop users.

The terminology and menu structure are adapted to look and feel more like Photoshop, and other adjustments were also made to make the GIMP more usable. In the Windows version, the Deweirdifyer Plugin has been used to place all of the various windows into one nesting window, so it will act more like a single program that multiple little programs.

Also the menu structure and terminology are adapted to to look and feel more like Photoshop.

NOTE: To make the Photoshop shortcuts work you have to start GIMPshop once (to create the .gimp-2.2 user dir). Then close it and run the pskeys.bat from the install dir or run the link in the startmenu group.
