IT!

I made a video tutorial that explains how to design knitting patterns that can be scaled to arbitrary size using the open source programs Inkscape v0.92 and  GIMP 2.10.10 . It may be especially interesting to the community of the All Yarns are Beautiful (AYAB) project . This page was moved to https://derandere.gitlab.io/scalable-knitting-patterns-inkscape .

Finally, the GNU Image Manipulating Program (GIMP) 2.10.0 has been released. The open source software GIMP can now be considered for productive work and makes professional image manipulation available for everyone. It supports high bit depth (up to 32 bit precision) and color management. Most importantly, GIMP now gives access to radiometrically correct adjustment of contrast / levels / curves, color mixing and blending ( these operations have to be performed in a linear working space , i.e. in a color working space which has a tone reproduction curve with a gamma of 1.0 at all densities). GIMP is cross-platform software which means it is available for Microsoft Windows, Linux and Apple iOS. In my oppinion, this achievement is worth a donation to the developers by every user of GIMP. GIMP can now be regarded as a serious competitor for Adobe Photoshop.

Finally, the GNU Image Manipulating Program (GIMP) 2.10 release candidate 1 is available for Linux as well as for the 64 bit version of Microsoft Windows. It is the first time, the open source software GIMP can be used for serious, professional image manipulation. It supports high bit depth (up to 32 bit precision) and color management. Most importantly, this is the first time GIMP gives access to radiometrically correct adjustment of contrast / levels / curves, color mixing and blending ( these operations have to be performed in a linear working space , i.e. in a color working space which has a tone reproduction curve with a gamma of 1.0 at all densities). Only few problems remain to be solved, before GIMP 2.10 can be officially released as stable.
