Morevna: Open Source Anime Using Synfig, Blender, Gimp, and Krita

,----[ Quote ]
| Synfig is an authoring tool designed from 
| the ground up to do smooth animation 
| without drawing multiple frames in between 
| the key frames, a process called 
| "tweening," meaning that the number of 
| artists required to complete a major 
| project is significantly reduced. The 
| artist defines the position of the objects 
| in two keyframes, chooses a path for the 
| movement, and assigns filters or 
| deformations, and the result is computer 
| generated. I understand that normal anime 
| has very few tween frames and limits 
| motion on the screen to limit the amount 
| of work artists have to do. Synfig's 
| method means a smoother-looking movie with 
| thirty frames per second and the ability 
| to add more animated movement.

Photoshop VS. GIMP

,----[ Quote ]
| GIMP is an acronym for GNU Image Manipulation
| Program. It is a freely distributed program
| for such tasks as photo retouching, image
| composition and image authoring.
|
| It has many capabilities. It can be used as a
| simple paint program, an expert quality photo
| retouching program, an online batch processing
| system, a mass production image renderer, an
| image format converter, etc.

Photoshop CS4 vs. GIMP 2.6.6

,----[ Quote ]
| What GIMP 2.6.6 offers that Photoshop CS4 does
| not:
|
|     * You can open and edit several formats in
|     GIMP 2.6.6 which includes support for PSD
|     files. But Photoshop CS4 does not extend
|     the same support to XCD files which the
|     native file format for GIMP.
|     * You can open a layered image as a flat
|     file without merging the layers in GIMP
|     directly from the 'File' menu, which is not
|     possible in Photoshop CS4. Even after you
|     open a file without layers in GIMP, the
|     original properties are intact, unless you
|     edit and save the file.
|     * There are several plug-ins features which
|     are not usually used. This reduced system
|     resources effectively.
|
| Being an open source application, it supports a
| large number of add-ons and plug-ins to give
| you real time software updates. What's more you
| have complete check on your system resources as
| you will download only those functionalities
| that you need!

GIMP Is No Lame Photo Tool

,----[ Quote ]
| GIMP is one of the most able-bodied open
| source photo manipulation apps in the world,
| and its feature set rivals those of many
| proprietary -- and often downright expensive
| -- offerings. Its features will fix flaws in
| photos as well as enable the user to
| artistically manipulate images in a
| multitude of formats. However, most photo
| editors this advanced do require a bit of a
| learning curve, and GIMP is no exception.
|
| The Linux world is filled with numerous
| capable packages for just about every
| computing category. Graphics manipulation
| applications are no exception. In any list
| of able-bodied graphics candidates, GIMP 2.6
| should be one of the top three contenders.
|
| [...]
|
| When I left Microsoft (Nasdaq: MSFT) Windows
| for the Linux platform, I desperately needed
| an inexpensive replacement for Photoshop.
| One of the first photo editing apps I
| encountered was GIMP. It is available in
| most Linux package management systems. Its
| tool set has all the bells and whistles I
| used in the Adobe product.
|
| GIMP became my de facto benchmark
| measurement for similar photoshopping apps.
| The fact that GIMP runs on both of my Linux
| workhorse distros -- Ubuntu and Puppy Linux
| -- made using it a real bargain.
