This brings me full circle Gimp is powerful but in my club there are very few one can ask as to how to use it. Personally I remember demonstrations of how to do xy and z but when I come to use the function can't remember how. But it's not cheap and it still does require skill. Droplets (Macros) can really make life easy but in the main most of use never use 1/10th of the options available and programs like "OnOne" which are add ons to Photoshop may offer automated back ground removal that most of us only dream of. Only used up to CS5 with photoshop and it is extremely powerful. Although designed for RAW files will work with Jpeg and the elements has a very much cut down version of RAW file handler to light room and personally I would think light room would do the job better then elements. And also Hugin which is better than Photoshop at stitching images together.Īdobe have now got three programs Lightroom, Elements, and Photoshop cloud the latter is now not bought but you pay a monthly subscription so in the main photographers use Elements and Light Room.Ĭonsidering what you are doing the tools offered in the RAW part of the two programs is far better with light room and the graduated filter, adjustment brush, and spot removal is very powerful. Picturenaut is used for HDR and again really designed to be used with RAW images but will work to combine two jpegs. Although designed for RAW files you can still load up Jpeg files and it offers some really good colour correction.įor the photographer there are two more free programs we use. However today they use RawTherapee to do the job. Originally photographers would use UFraw with Gimp to convert RAW files. When creating the layer mask you are presented with 7 options plus invert mask and by selecting "Greyscale copy of layer" it does exactly the same as the "Apply" command.
Unlike using HDR it allows you to then select which bits are auto corrected and which are manual corrected.Īt first glance it would appear Gimp does not have the function but as one experiments you find it does but in a different order with different command names.
For example with photoshop I use layers, masks and the "Apply" command with auto produces a mask which will allow you to combine two versions of an image to increase the dynamic range. The problem is to find help on how to use some of the more technical functions. But the layers and layer masks works well and with latest version there is a special Gimp format allowing you to save with all layers so you can re-open and carry on where you left off. I have been impressed with Gimp it does have some draw backs like will not work with 16 bit files and needs a separate program to read RAW files.
