Comments on: GIMP For Photographers: Levels http://inphotos.org/gimp-for-photographers-levels/ no photoshopped images here Thu, 19 Nov 2009 17:13:35 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.8.6 hourly 1 By: Dario http://inphotos.org/gimp-for-photographers-levels/#comment-209090 Dario Sat, 05 Sep 2009 09:44:15 +0000 http://inphotos.org/gimp-for-photographers-levels/#comment-209090 May I suggest a way to improve your tutorial? You just explained how to click on "Auto". Then, when it comes the real stuff, you just wrote: "You can also manipulate the histogram manually. Just drag the sliders left and right until your image looks ok." Perhaps, it would be nice to know what does it mean to move those sliders for the image. May I suggest a way to improve your tutorial?

I have been using GIMP for about 12 months now and i'm learning more all the time. I would love to know what techniques you use to get your B&W photos looking so good. I'm sure there is more to it that just desaturating or changing the colour mode to grey. If you have the time and can manage a short tutorial that doens't give away all of your trade secrets I would really appreciate it. Thanks for the levels tute.

Those gaps in the histogram after you ran the test on "auto"...the worst, nobody wants gaps in their spectrum Thanks for sharing! Fantastic, you’re definitely helping some folks learn with this one.

Post processing is only half the battle. You have to take the photo first! Glad you're going to give it a go again. I use levels and curves for different tasks so it's hard to say what I use more. I also shoot in RAW now and process the RAW files through Bibble Labs first which does it's own auto levelling. Curves will be the subject of my next tutorial! :) Hehe.

The last time I used it was years ago on Linux and it was kinda crap, it seems to have come on leaps and bounds now though. It will be very hard for me to break away from PSP because I've been using it for so long but free is free I guess. Right I'm downloading it. Oh btw, which do you find yourself using more, levels or curves? Oh Man, youre giving away the tricks of the trade! :) I said I was going to give GIMP a go ages back but I still havent.
