XnView Software

i doubt xnview does this but maybe someone could point me to something that will.
can xnview be used to control any cameras for capturing to a laptop? if not, what
can anyone recommend that i could use to capture frames from a panasonic lumix
g2, olympus e-pl1, or sony nex-3 to a folder on my ...

and curves. xnview is sophisticated enough that i find it surprising that it's missing these.
for my purposes, though, it wouldn't matter if they were included if nconvert didn't have
them.

thanks XnTirq.

since the links you post span 2004 for the earliest to the newest of over a
year ago, i take it i shouldn't hold my breath.

the smart curve photoshop plugin seems promising but there are some issues.
first, i don't see how i could get useful info out of it for use in nconvert ...

i use xnview to derive settings i use in nconvert for batch processing. i've recently
gotten some problem files and have found that using tools i find in gimp i can get
better results than i'm getting using similar tools in xnview. specifically, i'm referring
to the levels and curves tools in gimp ...

just tried v.26 on intel mac pro running osx 1.5.8. clicked the 'file' menu on the main
mac menu bar and it turned into the help menu, then the whole thing froze and had
to be force-quit. v.21 has been running ok.

i'm having pretty much this same issue.

trying to convert some old photo cds to another format using xnview batch.
i had xnview v1.96 and found that pcd images were opening at 768x512.
found this thread and downloaded the plugin for pcd (which i already had)
and put it in plugins folder. file was ...

thanks all.

very heartening to see the final goal of matching what we know from current
xnview releases. i really like it and work across windows/*nix/mac platyforms
all the time.

thanks again,
BabaG

ok. so somebody, or at least two others, want to know besides me.
there are no answers in that thread either.

been watching mp for quite a while and must say, i like it very much.

is mp intended to, over time, take on the capabilities of xnview generally,
things like the vast image manipulation and editing capabilities that xnview
has? or, is mp always intended to be a viewer exclusively? just curious ...

what is the spread option for. i notice it has values from 1-32.

thanks,

can saturation be corrected without having to send hue and lightness corrections?
if i only want to desaturate an image, must i still send all three -hls values , or, is
there a way to just send the saturation value?

thanks,

i'm curious about three commands: eedge, edetail, and sharpen. more generally, i'm interested
in the order of processing for commands in nconvert.

if i do a crop and resize of a batch of images, does it matter where i put the commands i've
listed above? for example, if i take an image of, say ...

are the -binary dither and -dither commands linked? in other words,
would i use the binary dither command to set a dithering type before
applying the dither?

with a space in the -binary dither command, how do i use it in a script
without the script thinking 'dither' is a value?

is there a value ...

that seems to have been it. thanks a lot!
