Let the GIMP do it, A David’s Batch Processor Tutorial

Hello everyone. Happy April 6, 2009. I’m glad to tell you guy that I have some experimentation cooking here. This post is a video tutorial, no  audio for now (crap me!), to which I call Let the GIMP do it. This is my very first attempt to make a video tutorial for the GIMP so please bear with me if you notice some noobness. Hehehe. But I really hope you’ll find this helpful and useful for your daily image editing tasks.

Today we are going to learn how to boost productivity when dealing with basic image editing operations on multiple images such as simple sharpening, resizing, renaming, etc… So I’d like to introduce you with a very useful GIMP filter called David’s Batch Processor.

angpilipinogimp at software freedom day 2008, davao celebration

Time flies when your having fun. It’s been another year of Software Freedom Day. Previously, I was able to present GIMP at MAD Workshop in General Santos City, Philippines. This time, I was given the chance to speak with a bigger audience in a magnanimous event called Software Freedom Day 2008 (Davao Celebration). Details on this event at feathevane’s and neural.brew’s post.

Here’s the video presentation provided by, non other than, the Filipino Blender Artist, Ragingmon. More of Ragingmon’s Software Freedom Day 2008 – Davao coverage video album

Please don’t mind tons of grammatical errors. hehehe.

And on more thing. I want to point out another error when I said about Cinepaint.

Studios such as Sony Pictures Imageworks and many smaller studios use CinePaint. Disney, DreamWorks, and Pixar funded Crossover (Wine) to make Adobe Photoshop for Windows run nicely on Linux and that’s what they use. Some studios use proprietary or internally developed tools. CinePaint is open source software. Nobody is obligated to tell us they use it. Studios use many Linux motion picture applications, not just CinePaint. This list of studios using CinePaint is just some we know about. From Cinepaint’s website.

Gotta have to be careful next time. Whew, the careless me. ahihi.
