The workflow i use might be interesting -
scan with xsane on Linux at 16 bits per channel/2400dpi (professional scanner). Usually greyscale though.Then to #GIMP and clean up then resize for Alamy stock & for Web.
Wonder if there’d be interest in videos about the clean-up process?

If you use GIMP from the Microsoft Store, settings, plug-ins, & other add-ons are lost when you upgrade.
The latest update will fix this, but needs a recent Windows 11.
If you’re on an older version of Windows you can still install from gimp.org. Follow the steps in this post to copy your setting the first time you switch.

If you're into creative work and #opensource you might want to check out MABarbe's talk on "The State of #LibreGraphics" from this week's @lgm. It summarizes recent developments of large projects like @GIMP, @krita, @kdenlive or @inkscape, but also references more specialized initiatives like @penpot, #Hyper8, #Pexieditor, #Tixl, @friction or @Coollab. The #LGM26 site has a list of the mentioned projects, available via https://libregraphicsmeeting.org/2026/projects/

It's a wrap. The last day of the @lgm featured more cool talks including the one about a @fragdenstaat clicker game made in @godot. Kudos to the local team in #Nuremberg. I feel rewired and inspired. See you at the #libregraphicsmeeting 2027 in #Linz!

The @lgm 2026 in #Nuremberg was a wonderful experience. Thanks to the local team for the great organisation. I'm tired, but inspired. Time to head home now! See you at #LGM 2027 in #Linz.

#Inkscape 1.4.4 is getting soooo close 🤏!
Try out the release candidate for this bugfix and maintenance release and help us catch any blocker bugs 🪤🐛 by giving it a good round of testing before the release (planned for May)!

Interesting talks, astonishing live demos. On the third day of @lgm I learned about some very cool #foss projects like #OssiaScore, @counterpunch or @liblast. Recordings of the talks are available!

The second day of the @lgm was a great experience. It included a #LGM community workshop, soldering, the group photo and (lightning) talks including one on "Live Coding for Artists and Designers" by @hamoid and one on the @GIMP community by Jehan.

From 2013 - 2015 I was a contributing writer for Libre Graphics magazine. I believe it was the first print magazine to focus exclusively on graphic design using open source tools. What I really liked about it was that it focused on the wider conceptual, cultural, and political issues surrounding open source design, asking more "why open source" and not just "how do I use the software". In fact in its five year history I don't think I saw one tutorial except for one on how to draw a unicorn!
Libre Graphics magazine was published from 2010 - 2015 over eight issues. You can still read all of the issues online or order a print copy of many of them https://libregraphicsmag.com/
I contributed four articles during the second edition of the magazine. Writing has never been my strongest skill but I really enjoyed the challenge at such an early point in my career. This is issue 2.2, Gendering F/LOSS. Go read it!
btw to process these pdfs I first remove all of the raster images, otherwise the full page images would obscure everything else!
