tool to view 4 images at once on screen (personal not related to dk)

Rinus

To speed up time consuming workflow I am searching for a tool that can
few 4 images at the same time on screen. For example on a 900x 1600
screen 4 images at 400x600.
This is to quick compare automaticly generated optimization variations.
View 4 -> select one -> view next 4 and so on and so further.

Any ideas?

regards,
Rinus

According to [1] gwenview will be able to compare up to 6 images to each
other.

Thanks for the hint. Whatever I try, It doesn work. At a certain point I
got the idea that I needed to upgrade to Natty, which of course
introduced far more problems than it solved.
My gwenview is 2.6.0 and it stays so. This version has not the compare
functionallity.

It looks I am lost without help. So the quest for a solution is still open.

Gwenview is part och KDE (kdegraphics) and upgrading to Natty won't
give you a newer version just because of that if you have updated KDE
with kubuntu-backports PPA you have the latest version of gwenview
which is 2.6.0.

Ok. thanks for that info.  Do you know anything about gwenview. May I
assume that those ¨image compare¨ function actually is non existent?

Hi,

according to the bug tracker on digikams comparison tool there is a nice
working solution in gwenview. I am not able to find it. Can someone please give
me a hint on how to compare images in gwenview?

Thank you.

I have gwenview 2.7.1. If I rightclick -> open with gwenview on 4 images I
selected in dolphin I only see them in the overview canvas. Now I can show
them in full size separately. Is there a "compare button" or s.th. to press.

Thank you for you help.

Not sure if I understand your problem. Third button from left probably
called ¨View¨ and fourth button Fullscreen, gives the view you see in my
dropbox images,
mouse from screen removes the thumbs from screen and vv.

was this helpfull?

Re: tool to view 4 images at once on screen (personal not related to dk)

Jean-François Rabasse

Just a comment,

The GIMP (any version, even old ones) can open any number of images at
the same time. One of course, 4, even 25 if you wish that (and have a
large screen:-)
You can even open a full images directory in command line mode :
  gimp *.JPG &

From inside DK, select all the images you wish to see, then
"Right clic, Open with, GIMP". You're there.

NB: GIMP handles individual images in individual windows on the screen,
not tiled into a single window.
I don't known if it's what was expected, but you can always resize each
window at your convenience, zoom individual images, compare by placing
your windows top to bottom, or left to right, etc.

NB: when you're done, don't close each image window, one by oner,
could be bothering. Closing the Toolbox window (ako main window)
will wipe all.

And how to synchronize views to zoom and pan canvas at the same time ?

How to image by pair to compare side by side ?

Loading all images at the same time will not explode your memory ?

What's about to show a preview of RAW image in gimp, without process
demosaicing ?

Well, I didn't pretend GIMP was THE definitive solution to all problems:-)
My comment was rather to point out an alternative to Gwenview.
And, as usual, the best tool for someone will deeply depend on what you
expect to do with. But I can answer to your objections :


> And how to synchronize views to zoom and pan canvas at the same time ?

Synchronisation, you're right, this requires a single partitionned
window to handle that. With a "any windows number" tool, you don't get
synchronisation. But you're not stuck to 2, 4 or 6 images at a time.


> Loading all images at the same time will not explode your memory ?

Memory is not a software related issue but a computer issue.
Whatever tool you use, the max number of images you may be able to handle
at a time will depend on your computer RAM and swap.
If you can't open 10 images with GIMP, you won't open them with Gwenview,
or anything else, at least on the same machine.
(And swap memory is not a solution, it's too sloooooooow)

> What's about to show a preview of RAW image in gimp, without process
> demosaicing ?

RAW image ? Was that the initial issue ? I don't know raw images viewers,
or multiple raw images viewers, just raw images processors.
When I try to open with GIMP one of my .NEF file, GIMP fells back to
lauching ufraw (it's my KDE file association).
If I try to open it with Gwenview, I just get an error message
"cannot display documents of type image/x-nikon-nef"
So...


> How to image by pair to compare side by side ?

As for "compare side by side", it would probably require to define what
is "compare", what kind of comparision is awaited ? To have a global look
on similar images, composition, general coloured atmosphère, having
windows side by side is the same as having images side by side in a
single window.
In some other cases, images side by side will give nothing.
E.g. you wish to compare similar pictures (same subject, shot in the
same time interval) taken in low ambient light and at low shutter speed,
say 1/30 s or 1/15 s, and you suspect you may have some focus defects
due to slow speed and hand held camera. Side by side will give nothing,
exceptt if out of focus is obvious (and the image can be garbaged at
once).
To do that kind of comparison, and as I'm a GIMP user, I select a small
area of each picture with fine details, and copy/paste into an empty work
window as layers. Layers can be superimposed, switch on/off one by one,
it's possible to make one layer half transparent and compare with the
underlying one on really small details.
It becomes possible to have an accurate idea of the best focused shot,
but it takes a bit more time than just "have a glance".


But as I said above, there's never a definitive solution and each user
will have his preferred "modus operandi". Different software are never
stricly equivalent, so probably each user should test and try such and
such program, then select the best suited for particular needs.
I believe the question is not to decide which program is the best
(the answer will always be : hem, it depends...:-) but what can do
such or such program, can do very well, well, not very well, not at
all, then let users choose according to their needs.

digiKam is a RAW viewer and a RAW processor.

RAW viewer is a tool which is able to preview RAW without to process
it. How it's do : it load the preview image (JPEG) embedded in RAW as
metadata... Fast and reliable to see if shot is good...

No. You talk about demosaicing here. See my preview comment.

Synchronisation, you're right, this requires a single partitionned
window to handle that. With a "any windows number" tool, you don't get
synchronisation. But you're not stuck to 2, 4 or 6 images at a time.
Gwenview: contol/shift click in thumbnail bar and to select any number of pictures (up to 6 I beleave) to compare, rightclick synchronize, control left click to zoom in contol rightclick to zoom out, move sliders to sychronuously move around.

More than 6 looks quite pointless, select the best and add 5 new ones and select the best again.
This could be copied not improved.
Digikam and Gwenview makes a perfect match for me.

Loading all images at the same time will not explode your memory ?

Memory is not a software related issue but a computer issue.
Whatever tool you use, the max number of images you may be able to handle
at a time will depend on your computer RAM and swap.
If you can't open 10 images with GIMP, you won't open them with Gwenview,
or anything else, at least on the same machine.
(And swap memory is not a solution, it's too sloooooooow)

What's about to show a preview of RAW image in gimp, without process
demosaicing ?

RAW image ? Was that the initial issue ? I don't know raw images viewers,
or multiple raw images viewers, just raw images processors.
When I try to open with GIMP one of my .NEF file, GIMP fells back to
lauching ufraw (it's my KDE file association).
If I try to open it with Gwenview, I just get an error message
"cannot display documents of type image/x-nikon-nef"
So...


How to image by pair to compare side by side ?

As for "compare side by side", it would probably require to define what
is "compare", what kind of comparision is awaited ? To have a global look
on similar images, composition, general coloured atmosphère, having
windows side by side is the same as having images side by side in a
single window.
In some other cases, images side by side will give nothing.
E.g. you wish to compare similar pictures (same subject, shot in the
same time interval) taken in low ambient light and at low shutter speed,
say 1/30 s or 1/15 s, and you suspect you may have some focus defects
due to slow speed and hand held camera. Side by side will give nothing,
exceptt if out of focus is obvious (and the image can be garbaged at once).
To do that kind of comparison, and as I'm a GIMP user, I select a small
area of each picture with fine details, and copy/paste into an empty work window as layers. Layers can be superimposed, switch on/off one by one,
it's possible to make one layer half transparent and compare with the
underlying one on really small details.
It becomes possible to have an accurate idea of the best focused shot,
but it takes a bit more time than just "have a glance".


But as I said above, there's never a definitive solution and each user
will have his preferred "modus operandi". Different software are never
stricly equivalent, so probably each user should test and try such and
such program, then select the best suited for particular needs.
I believe the question is not to decide which program is the best
(the answer will always be : hem, it depends...:-) but what can do
such or such program, can do very well, well, not very well, not at
all, then let users choose according to their needs.

In deed, it was. I wasn't aware that I have to do the multiple selection in
the thumbnail bar.

Thank you.
