When I convert images to B&W, I often add some artificial film grain to the image. When I do this by hand, I usually just grab a section of the grain source randomly and hardlight screen the original image with it. Tonight I needed to batch add grain to a number of B&W images and I didn’t want the grain to look consistent among them. After the jump is a perl script that selects a random source-image-sized selection of a grain source and hardlight screens the source image with it. This is done via imagemagick command line utils.

I updated audiotag 0.15 with support for mp4/m4a. The original developer has included my changes and made a 0.16 release. The new release requires AtomicParsley for mp4/m4a tag manipulation to work properly. It is capable of manipulating tags on all m4a files, including those that contain ALAC. You can also obtain a copy of the release on goof.com.

For those of you who jumped the gun and requested a release-0-20 build, then subsequently upgraded your backends…

MythFrontend-MacOSXUniversal-0.20-fixes-20061001.dmg.bz2

Just a quick post to put these links up…

Some notes on these:

1. I cannot test these since I do not have a 0.20 backend.
2. They are built with all plugins and themes.
3. The Intel and Universal versions contain support for the remote on Intel hardware.

• MythFrontend-MacOSXIntel-0.20-20060913.dmg.bz2
• MythFrontend-MacOSXPPC-0.20-20060927.dmg.bz2
• MythFrontend-MacOSXUniversal-0.20-20060927.dmg.bz2

If someone has an opportunity to test these (particuarly the PPC and Universal) and let me know if they work properly, I would appreciate it.

Don’t forget on Intel hardware to turn on the vector optimized video output!

See the more recent article for more info and PPC/Universal builds

UFRaw-0.9.1-Gimpshop-2.2.11-20060816.zip is a build of UFRaw 0.9.1 for Gimpshop 2.2.11 on Mac OS X. It is a universal binary and should function properly on both PPC and i386 Tiger. This build includes support for exif via the exiv2 library, and the specific version of exiv2 used for build is bundled.

Read on for some additional info on installation…

If you are installing this to a location other than /Applications/Gimpshop.app, select the “Choose…” button and hit Command-Shift-G. Then type the full path to the location of your Gimpshop application. Assuming Gimp.app is laid out similarly, you might be able to specify the ful path to the location of the Gimp application as well, but I don’t use this so that mode is untested.

Example:

Let’s say you have a bunch of Gimp stuff in /Applications/Gimp Stuff, including Gimpshop.app – you would hit Command-Shift-G and type: /Applications/Gimp Stuff/Gimpshop.app and use that as the installation location.

In my last build I apparently did not ensure that I did a clean build of the executable under i386 OS X, and a dependency on libexif crept in…

UFRaw-0.8.1-Gimpshop-2.2.11-20060627.zip is an updated build without any libexif dependencies. Please install this instead of the version linked in the last post.

I will be building against exiv2 in the near future and creating an installer for the resulting libraries and executables.

This article has been superseded.
See the update for more information.

I’ve built UFRaw 0.8.1 for Gimpshop 2.2.11 as a Universal Binary and created a point/click installer for it.

I had to build it without libexif or exiv2 support, at least for the time being. I was unable to figure out how to get libexif 0.6.13 to co-exist with the version of libexif used by Gimpshop 2.2.11.
