Add flag GIMP_METADATA_SAVE_COLOR_PROFILE to GimpMetadataSaveFlags and
initialize it from gimp_export_color_profile() in
gimp_image_metadata_save_prepare().
Adapt all plug-ins to use the bit from the suggested export flags and
pass the actually used value back to
gimp_image_metadata_save_finish().
This changes no behavior at all but creates hooks on the libgimp side
that are called with the context of an image before and after the
actual export, which might become useful later. Also, consistency
is good even though the color profile is not strictly "metadata".
...export dialogs
Remove the "Advanced" expander from the PNG export GUI and generally
clean up the dialog layout.
Issue #701: Add a "Save color profile" toggle and always honor it.
All babl formats now have a space equivalent to a color profile,
determining the format's primaries and TRCs. This commit makes GIMP
aware of this.
libgimp:
- enum GimpPrecision: rename GAMMA values to NON_LINEAR and keep GAMMA
as deprecated aliases, add PERCEPTUAL values so we now have LINEAR,
NON_LINEAR and PERCPTUAL for each encoding, matching the babl
encoding variants RGB, R'G'B' and R~G~B~.
- gimp_color_transform_can_gegl_copy() now returns TRUE if both
profiles can return a babl space, increasing the amount of fast babl
color conversions significantly.
- TODO: no solution yet for getting libgimp drawable proxy buffers in
the right format with space.
plug-ins:
- follow the GimpPrecision change.
- TODO: everything else unchanged and partly broken or sub-optimal,
like setting a new image's color profile too late.
app:
- add enum GimpTRCType { LINEAR, NON_LINEAR, PERCEPTUAL } as
replacement for all "linear" booleans.
- change gimp-babl functions to take babl spaces and GimpTRCType
parameters and support all sorts of new perceptual ~ formats.
- a lot of places changed in the early days of goat invasion didn't
take advantage of gimp-babl utility functions and constructed
formats manually. They all needed revisiting and many now use much
simpler code calling gimp-babl API.
- change gimp_babl_format_get_color_profile() to really extract a
newly allocated color profile from the format, and add
gimp_babl_get_builtin_color_profile() which does the same as
gimp_babl_format_get_color_profile() did before. Visited all callers
to decide whether they are looking for the format's actual profile,
or for one of the builtin profiles, simplifying code that only needs
builtin profiles.
- drawables have a new get_space_api(), get_linear() is now get_trc().
- images now have a "layer space" and an API to get it,
gimp_image_get_layer_format() returns formats in that space.
- an image's layer space is created from the image's color profile,
change gimpimage-color-profile to deal with that correctly
- change many babl_format() calls to babl_format_with_space() and take
the space from passed formats or drawables
- add function gimp_layer_fix_format_space() which replaces the
layer's buffer with one that has the image's layer format, but
doesn't change pixel values
- use gimp_layer_fix_format_space() to make sure layers loaded from
XCF and created by plug-ins have the right space when added to the
image, because it's impossible to always assign the right space upon
layer creation
- "assign color profile" and "discard color profile" now require use
of gimp_layer_fix_format_space() too because the profile is now
embedded in all formats via the space. Add
gimp_image_assign_color_profile() which does all that and call it
instead of a simple gimp_image_set_color_profile(), also from the
PDB set-color-profile functions, which are essentially "assign" and
"discard" calls.
- generally, make sure a new image's color profile is set before
adding layers to it, gimp_image_set_color_profile() is more than
before considered know-what-you-are-doing API.
- take special precaution in all places that call
gimp_drawable_convert_type(), we now must pass a new_profile from
all callers that convert layers within the same image (such as
image_convert_type, image_convert_precision), because the layer's
new space can't be determined from the image's layer format during
the call.
- change all "linear" properties to "trc", in all config objects like
for levels and curves, in the histogram, in the widgets. This results
in some GUI that now has three choices instead of two.
TODO: we might want to reduce that back to two later.
- keep "linear" boolean properties around as compat if needed for file
pasring, but always convert the parsed parsed boolean to
GimpTRCType.
- TODO: the image's "enable color management" switch is currently
broken, will fix that in another commit.
Set the libpng error_fn to NULL *after* png_read_end() not before.
png_read_end() can throw errors and we recover what's partially loaded
from an image in the error handler.
Various plug-ins exporting metadata should now follow preferences, which
would override any default. Of course these preferences can still be
overriden by saved settings (global parasite), previous run settings,
and finally through the GUI when interactive.
This is a privacy concern. Whereas importing metadata is usually a good
idea, exporting it should be a conscious action. A lot of private data
can be leaked through metadata and many people don't realize it (which
also usually means they don't need it). On the other hand, the people
who realize it are the ones who would explicitly edit the metadata and
check what they want to be exported or not.
This is only a first step. Some people may want to always export the
metadata and for these people, there should be abilities to change the
default.
...in both the core and libgimp.
Images now know what the default mode for new layers is:
- NORMAL for empty images
- NORMAL for images with any non-legacy layer
- NORMAL_LEGAVY for images with only legacy layers
This changes behavior when layers are created from the UI, but *also*
when created by plug-ins (yes there is a compat issue here):
- Most (all?) single-layer file importers now create NORMAL layers
- Screenshot, Webpage etc also create NORMAL layers
Scripts that create images from scratch (logos etc) should not be
affected because they usually have NORMAL_LEGACY hardcoded.
3rd party plug-ins and scripts will also behave old-style unless they
get ported to gimp_image_get_default_new_layer_mode().
Try to sort all GIMP_ICON_* defines into FDO categories like in
https://specifications.freedesktop.org/icon-naming-spec/latest/ar01s04.html
Add defines for all icons we override, rename some icons to their FDO
standard names, and mark the ones we duplicate with a comment so we
don't forget to rename those to standard names in 3.0.
When working in high bitdepth, manually changing precision to 8bit or 16bit is
an extraenous step, this adds a conversion step - but doesn't permit dithering
- and also doesn't permit using the palette modes of PNG. However it makes
workflows with single precision linear floating point much more usable.
with proper value names. Mark most values as _BROKEN because they use
weird alpha compositing that has to die. Move GimpLayerModeEffects to
libgimpbase, deprecate it, and set it as compat enum for GimpLayerMode.
Add the GimpLayerModeEffects values as compat constants to script-fu
and pygimp.
...an image with the color profile "sRGB IEC61966-2.1"
Eliminate libpng warnings about known incorrect sRGB profiles.
These "known incorrect sRGB profiles" are only considered "incorrect"
by libpng. Such profiles are perfectly good sRGB profiles currently
being embedded by PhotoShop 5 and 6 and also already embedded in many,
many images on the web.
Add support for writing linear PNGs. But only if we also save a color
profile, otherwise we would get loaders confused. Please test, I might
have a knot in my brain...
Also clean up some formatting and fix compile warnings, now let's wait
for bugs about shit libpng versions which break the build.
Return flags based on what metadata is actually present in the image.
Returning of a suggested value for GIMP_METADATA_SAVE_THUMBNAIL needs
support from gimp_image_metadata_load_prepare() and is still missing.
Port all plug-ins to use the new API, the suggested values are however
overridden by parasites and whatever special code was devised for the
individual plug-ins. This needs to be fixed.
Some libpng errors can safely be marked as nonfatal, which is much
better than simply failing in those cases.
Thanks to John Bowler for pointing out this solution.
and clean up the formatting of the call and the lines around it. Now
we can check the various (disabled) export options for regressions
again by changing a single line in gimp_export_image().
start with flags = ALL (which now includes all possible current and
future flags), and optionally *remove* individual flags instead of
adding them. This way the plug-ins default to TRUE for future flags.
So the plug-in has the chance to decide whether it wants to trust the
metadata information (e.g. resolution). Also reorder parameters in
gimp_image_metadata_save_finish(). Change all plug-ins accordingly.
Based on original patches from Hartmut Kuhse and modified
by Michael Natterer. Changes include:
- remove libexif dependency and add a hard dependency on gexiv2
- typedef GExiv2Metadata to GimpMetadata to avoid having to
include gexiv2 globally
- add basic GimpMetadata handling functions to libgimpbase
- add image and image file specific metadata functions to libgimp,
including the exif orientation image rotate dialog
- port plug-ins to use the new APIs
- port file-tiff-save's UI to GtkBuilder
- add new plug-in "metadata" to view the image's metadata
- keep metadata around as GimpImage member in the core
- update the image's metadata on image size, resolution and precision
changes
- obsolete the old metadata parasites
- migrate the old parasites to new GimpMetadata object on XCF load
The new by-row iteration doesn't re-write the length
value for each row. In general it is not safe to modify
the iterator data because the internal logic depends
on the public data, but this specific case is new.
Currently PNG "comment" is saved in iTXt (UTF-8) if supported, tEXt
(ISO-8859-1) otherwise. The problem is that some software out there like
ImageMagick would apparently only read tEXt comments.
Therefore the replacing algorithm is:
1/ if we would not lose any character in a conversion from UTF-8 to
ISO-8859-1, we save in tEXt, whether or not the platform supports iTXt.
2/ if we would lose comment data in the conversion while iTXt is
supported, we save in iTXt.
3/ if iTXt is not supported, we save in tEXt anyway and discard any
non-convertible character, unless the finale result is an empty string
(in which case, we don't save any comment).
- Add new enum GimpComponentType which contains u8, u16, u32 etc.
- Change GimpPrecision to be u8-linear, u8-gamma, u16-linear etc.
- Add all the needed formats to gimp-babl.c
- Bump the XCF version to 5 and make sure version 4 with the old
GimpPrecision enum values is loaded correctly
This change blows up the precision enums in "New Image" and
Image->Precision so we can test all this stuff. It is undecided what
format will be user-visible options in 2.10.
