save for web plugin feedback

Hi, i have a friend who's just migrating off windows and is currentlyrunning Ubuntu which he's generally happy with.

He complained about 'save for web' functionality missing from the stockGIMP and had some good points on why it's needed, i found thesave-for-web plugin through Linux for Designers blog( http://my.opera.com/area42/blog/ ).

While he thought it was an improvement he was still not quite happywith it and he wrote some feedback for it, some of which should be easyto fix.

I'm currently trying to get him involved in various GNOME/FLOSS thingsas he's extremley good at usability and graphics and any help to scratchhis itches would be appreciated.

Here's his feedback to the save-for-web plugin:

I have tried the Save for web Gimp plugin. What it offered in featuresare these:

General:
* Side by side comparison of original image vs. optimized version.However, when the optimized version refreshes when settings arechanged it goes blank until the new preview has been rendered and filesize been calculated. This is very bad for me because I can not keeptrack of small changes when trying to, say, optimize a GIF for the weband decide the lowest amount of colours that will suffice.

* Resize; this works well, but could be useful if other measurementthan px could be used (using Save for web for other media than the webis nice too.)

* Cropping; Works very nicely. the cropped out area is a little toodark for my taste -- perhaps this can be changed in the Gimp settings

Formats: * GIF; same as the Image > Mode > Indexed... dialogue features exceptfor the Custom pallet option which Save for web does not have. It doeshave live previewing though, but the update problem makes it much lessuseful for me.

* JPEG; Offers even less options than Gimps standard JPEG optimizer,which also has live previewing and without the update issue!

* PNG-8; Same as GIF, but with a compression option (why?)

* PNG-24; Interlaced on/off option and a compression setting only.Compression is only offered in 10 levels.

So this plug-in has a long way to go before it can match Photoshops(or rather ImageReadys actually) Save for web feature.

This is a real show stopper for me, as I mostly create for the web andI just can't go without the level of control that Save for web offersme.
So unless there is a separate application for linux that I can give methis control after developing the lossless image in Gimp, Gimp willjust have to wait, unfortunately.

Will still keep and eye out for linux tools and Gimp, so hopefullythings will turn for the good is not a too distant future.

This is taken from his original post here:http://www.gimptalk.com/forum/topic/Colour-And-Quality-Optimi-ation-In-Gimp-18492-1.html

He's not subscribed so if you can either post to the forum and the mailing list or i'll direct him to any replies on the archive.

Thanks,Morgan

save for web plugin feedback

Hi,

It seems that your friend has tried an older version. In newer version(0.8.1) there were some changes which affect plug-ins usability. Itwould be very nice to hear detailed comments about it from someone whowould use save-for-web often. The plug-in is still missing someoptions, but they'll be added as soon as it is considered usable ingeneral.

Thanks

Some people I know prefer to have EXIF stripped from final JPEG. Thiscould be an option.

Recently one of our users complained that the Gimped photos of him are bigger than the ones processed with a Windows software (I don't remember its name and it doesn't matter though)...

After some tryouts we saw that, that software doesn't save exif so it decreases the file size with ~3-4kb.

User was trying to save photos with 5kb. maximum file size for a web application so 3-4Kb. was a big problem :)

So this feature can be useful but I was thinking this case was so marginal to make a feature request :)

I personally don't see much use for a 'save for web' plugin. Anyfunctionality that it would have should already exist in other savedialogs, or be added if they are currently unimplemented. A savemeta-dialog that can compare multiple formats (gif vs jpeg vs png) isa plausible addition, but theres no reason to restrict it toweb-friendly options, or to duplicate functionality that alreadyexists in the format-specific plugins.

cool ;)

because he is comparing to photoshop which allows to have 4 previews for the same image. That is nice of course but is that so useful that gimp has to clone Photoshop ?

> using Save for web for other media than the web > is nice too

an example should be nice; Traditionnally we have two kinds of output : screen/display (px) or paper (mm, pt or picas). For paper print i would NEVER use save for web.

I don't think it can be set. And anyway, i would refer the the 'on my taste' just to say that if everything was given a preference this could simply be unusable.

yep i agree that this can be a trouble

> PNG-8; Same as GIF, but with a compression option (why?)

because png is also based on that compression

> Compression is only offered in 10 levels

as far as i know it has always been like that in gimp. why would you/he expect having more ?

I don't understand how all this can be a problem because, there is no qualitéy problem. If i'd heard that gimp's jpeg compression produces worst results than Photoshop (which is someway true) or that photoshop's pngs were better optimized, may be i would have understand. I only see here good feedback of someone who tested but don't really want to do efforts. But may be i'm the wrong way.

I personnaly think this save_for_web plugin is one of the best thing that happened to gimp the last 3 months. I would just personnally add a dependency check to a png optimizer, but this is only my wish, i don't knwo how it is usefull for other user.

If only i was involved in coding c...

save for web plugin feedback

Hello , I am the person who wrote the forum posts about 'Save for web'like features which my friend earlier forwarded to this list.

First a crash report.The save-for-web plug-in crashes when I try to preview an image as GIFwhich matches this criteria:
* At least one hidden layer
* At least one visible layer

Using: Save for Web 0.8.1 - Gimp 2.3.15 - Ubuntu 6.10 Edgy EftThe error console lists these errors on crash:* PDB calling error: Procedure 'temp-procedure-number-19' not found* Unable to run GimpPdbProgress callback.

As for features:* Zoom: Higher zoom than 800% would be good for a better feeling foreach pixel (which is nice when deciding the amount of colours in anindexed mode format, or inspecting compression artifacts.)* Cropping: The crop panel collapses when: 1. Changing the cropdimensions back to the previewed images size. 2. Using the re-size tool.Very confusing and irritating.
* Previewing: When rendering a new preview, the preview area becomesblack if the image has its original size and shows the original image ifit has been re-sized. It would be very good if the previous previewcould be kept until the new preview is ready and then the two be changedgaplessly as this would give you great information about how theoptimised version has changed with the new preview.

Answers to Cedric Gemy's questions:

Side by side comparison of original image vs. optimized version.

because he is comparing to photoshop which allows to have 4 previews for the same image. That is nice of course but is that so useful that gimp has to clone Photoshop ?

I use it almost all the time when I save as JPEG or GIF. Not having tochange the compression level to see how much the final image changes isa big bonus.

I don't understand why you say clone Photoshop. I can't think of anyother way to do this than displaying previews next to each other ortoggling between them with a widget.

using Save for web for other media than the web

> is nice too

What I meant with this point was that the features that I requested isnot only limited to images for the web, but are useful for almost allimages meant to be displayed digitally (where file size or colour limitsare important.)

An examples would be colour control for indexed mode images for oldersystems or pixel art.

Compression is only offered in 10 levels

as far as i know it has always been like that in gimp. why would you/he expect having more ?

I think I got the PNG compression confused with the JPEG. I have noarguments against 10 level choice of PNG compression now.
