This 1896 engraving shows the entrance to Batalha Monastery The portrayal of light and shadow, foreground and depth, is very strong here.

There are clear Moorish influences, i’d say, being no expert in such things.

The paper used in Smithś Gothic Architecture book is smooth, calendared, and makes for easy scanning and cleaning up with #GIMP

It's clearly break time. I'm having issues with @GIMP and JPG export.

The picture on the left is how it looks in #GIMP - the one on the right is how I'm seeing it in Firefox.

Before someone yells "colour profile", it's sRGB and I've tried it with including the profile and without. I'm only compressing 95% at the moment.

Also "image previewer" on Linux shows it washed out, but "Pix" doesn't. So it's *probably* not GIMP, but it's hard to tell.

SUMMER TRIANGLE
The three bright stars are Deneb, Altair, and Vega. They form an asterism known as the summer triangle and are prominent in the summer sky when viewed from the northern hemisphere.

I shot and processed this photo while going through a breakup and struggling with depression. I'm feeling a little better now :)

Usually I share poems with my photos. For this one I will just say that whoever you are and wherever you come from, I wish you well.

@amoroso
Thank you for this tip, 👍 🙏
I use #screenShot all the time to help folks switch off of the old legacy OS and often need to highlite the salient parts of a screen shot.
Its has always been a huge overkill to bring up #inkscape or #gimp just to draw a red circle around something.

#flameshot is the right tool for the job.

Long live #FLOSS and #FOSS and our ability to use free softwarer.

Continued thread

In the colophon, you'll mainly find: @penpot, @nextcloud, @inkscape, @GIMP, and a small command-line script to automate prepress work. That’s basically it — and it was enough to do what we wanted.

Of course, when you use interface design software to make a book, you don’t get access to all the typographic layout options you might hope for. That also causes other issues we’d like to avoid, especially when exporting to PDF 🤪 (see github.com/penpot/penpot/issue).
