GIMP User Filter allows use of Photoshop filters

09-15-2008 11:00 AM
One brake on the GIMP's popularity is that, while it boasts dozens of filters, a rival like Photoshop boasts thousands. You may only occasionally need a special effect that imitates a pencil sketch or a famous style of painting such as Impressionism or Cubism, but, when you do, having a filter to create the effect instantly saves serious amount of time. To help bridge this divide, the GIMP is reviving the User Filter from its 1.x releases. This filter is a kind of meta-plugin that allows users to import and manage Photoship filters or, if they have the knowledge, to write their own.

Image::ExifTool::Photoshop(3)				User Contributed Perl Documentation			     Image::ExifTool::Photoshop(3)

NAME

       Image::ExifTool::Photoshop - Read/write Photoshop IRB meta information

SYNOPSIS

       This module is loaded automatically by Image::ExifTool when required.

DESCRIPTION

       Photoshop writes its own format of meta information called a Photoshop IRB resource which is located in the APP13 record of JPEG files.
       This module contains the definitions to read this information.

NOTES

       Photoshop IRB blocks may have an associated resource name.  These names are usually just an empty string, but if not empty they are
       displayed in the verbose level 2 (or greater) output.  A special "SetResourceName" flag may be set to '1' in the tag information hash to
       cause the resource name to be appended to the value when extracted.  If this is done, the returned value has the form "VALUE/#NAME#/".
       When writing, the writer routine looks for this syntax (if "SetResourceName" is defined), and and uses the embedded name to set the name of
       the new resource.  This allows the resource names to be preserved when copying Photoshop information via user-defined tags.
