.. made with the Gimp under Debian Linux 2002..

Modèle 3D de la prochaine carte, probablement terminée à la fin de la semaine prochaine. Une idée de la localisation ? (😄 )

TIL about adw-gtk3 an unofficial GTK3 port of libadwaita.

It's a theme usuable for many DE and can make your GIMP look very nice too

GIMP uses GEGL. I will briefly quote; I want you to seek GEGL data yourself at their site. It's a wonderful architecture

Quote

GEGL (Generic Graphics Library) is a data flow based image processing framework, providing floating point processing and non-destructive image processing capabilities to GNU Image Manipulation Program and other projects (imgflo, GNOME Photos, iconographer, …)

GIMP site also has interviews with the programmers. Go and seek

GIMP v3.04

It was this early morning, when I tried to fire up GIMP, I noticed that I had forgotten to install this magnificent gfx tool kit.

I ran apt install gimp immediately

I've been using GIMP ever since it came out, decades ago (spawn 1995). Even though the UI was totally different from what I was used to, adaptation was fast and my fluency in use of GIMP increased fast. I like working in GIMP

The GIMP is 31 years old

Quote

In 1995, Spencer Kimball and Peter Mattis began developing GIMP as a semester project at University of California, Berkeley for the eXperimental Computing Facility.[8] The software was originally named the General Image Manipulation Program

GIMP v0.54 was first released in 1996

Over the decades I've seen a lot of users emitting futile complaints about the GUI, the use of many windows / viewports, while I can easily transition from closed source software on client's machines, to the GIMP, just by switching the mindset regarding the UI. The logic behind UI decisions is easily traceable.

GIMP has so many functions, I know of nobody who knows how to use all of them.

You should learn what you need to do, get fluent into those tasks, and learn more when you need more. This mind set also works in VIM, which has a massive ammount of functions and commands to make not only your programming in different languages more pleasant, it also has subtle assist functions which makes your source entries even more enjoyable.

GIMP always gives me consistent performance and I can rely on the keyboard shortcuts without having to use the mouse to select functions brushes, et all.
GIMP is for me a must have in my photo correction work flow. I've never relied on closed source software for those tasks, GIMP always has similar functions, many working even more efficient with your computer's CPU / GPU resources.

For the Love of GIMP

next section moved to seperate toot

Note:
I've always known that Open Source programs can be trusted better than closed source equivalents, something you all know when it comes down to the big photo manupilation suite, which enshittifies everything for its paying users.

GIMP shall always have its users back

You can trust GIMP

BTW I used #thegimp to edit the photos of my old license plates to make my own card. How about pics of your #furbaby posing in your shack for your #qsl card? (#cats really like sitting on the old tube #HamRadio gear because it's "made of warmth".)

Envoyé à l'impression numérique ce soir pour test en grandeur nature. Ça pourrait être la version définitive... (bon, la dernière fois que j'ai dit ça, j'en ai eu pour un mois de travail supplémentaire 😭).
J'ai un peu agrandi la superficie des glaciers, parce qu'en réalité il ne reste plus grand chose et ça n'avait pas beaucoup d'allure...

Toujours sur la carte de l'Ouest de l'Oisans... qui avance petit à petit. Encore beaucoup d'erreurs à reprendre à ce stade.

It's out!

"Work in progress" de la carte de l'Oisans que je refais au format 50x70cm, "ça se vend mieux en magasin", on m'a dit. Encore beaucoup de travail...

Et après 2 mois d'absence j'avais besoin de retrouver les paysages que je cartographie, et que j'apprécie tellement.

#alternativemaps #cartography #grenoble #imaginarymaps #maps #QGIS #sealevelrise #thegimp #blender

De retour (depuis 2 semaines) d'un voyage à bicyclette en Italie - Sicile - Sardaigne - Espagne -(envelo04.travelmap.net) j'ai fait cette petite carte pour raconter dans le blog.

Profitant d'un petit tour en vélo-camping, je passe à Die. J'avais pris un tube avec des cartes du Vercors. Dans la rue principale de Die, avec mon gros vélo plein de sacoches, je vois un magasin plein de vie. Ça accroche tout de suite bien avec le patron... Hop, il me prend les 5 cartes que j'avais, le temps de lui faire une facture, 2 étaient déjà vendues 😄 ! C'est l'Entre-pÔt, rue Camille Buffardel (la grand rue).

Et voilà les cartes postales sorties de l'imprimerie. 5 belles cartes postales à l'ancienne, où il faut écrire derrière avec sa main et un vrai stylo, coller un timbre et puis la mettre dans une boîte aux lettres jaune... pour faire plaisir. On peut les garder pour soi aussi 😉 .
On peut les acheter : gremaps.etsy.com

#alternativemaps #cartography #grenoble #imaginarymaps #maps #QGIS #sealevelrise #thegimp #blender

Carte postale n°5. La dernière avant un moment. Le lot des 5 cartes assorties en vente dans une dizaine de jours sur Etsy. Sinon dans certains points de vente... enfin j'espère. Stay tuned.

Carte postale n°4. Sans bordures, c'est volontaire. J'avais essayé une lumière orange pour faire "sunset", mais ça rendait les couleurs glauques. Si vous avez des critiques, surtout n,'hésitez pas...😉

La carte de Chartreuse est à vendre dans un vrai magasin en centre ville de Grenoble. Bon, pour l'instant ça marche pas fort 😄 .
#alternativemaps #cartography #grenoble #imaginarymaps #maps #QGIS #sealevelrise #thegimp #blender #chartreuse

Voilà, enfin mise en vente. J'en suis assez satisfait, en fait. Il s'agit des préalpes du Nord, de la Chartreuse à la Clusaz, avec un miveau de la mer à 1000m. La Chartreuse est une île, les Bauges un archipel. Le mode opératoire est toujours le même : QGIS, GIMP, Blender.

Entre les deux...
Je ne sais pas laquelle retenir comme seconde carte postale...

Et bientôt des cartes postales.

So far, I'm a little frustrated that #pixelfed doesn't seem to be able to handle the size of my #stereoscopic #photographs. I have to shrink them, one at a time, with #TheGimp to get them to post at all. Maybe I can find a batch resizer.
