Awesome! It just keeps getting better and better.
Also export to Gimp now works excellent for me.

I thought it was about time I tried delabratory and installed the win-32 installer: Delaboratory-0.7.3.3-32bit.exe which installs OK but when I come to run delabratory I get a report of a missing dll: liblzma-5.dll and it doesn't run. Any suggestions?

Kevin

I installed the unstable version and it runs quite well.

paynekj only Partha knows stuff like that and he will be probably offline for a few days
do you have same problem with older releases?

Rod could you show your butterfly before and after postprocessing or show it in delaboratory with layer stack? it would be more informative for new users

Sure ...here is the butterfly image before processing.I also used the test Large file created by Delab for the bg gradient.



The process was
create the large test gradient file with Delaboratory.
export to Gimp and added the butterfly image...flattened and saved as a jpg.
re opened in Delaboratory and processed with the layer stack i posted above.

In the future it will be possible to edit multiple files inside delaboratory, like you did now in Gimp. But it will be implemented after migration to gtk+

In the interests of being helpful, I've just worked through the older versions and found that it breaks at 0.7.3.2 (which you didn't announce anywhere???) and as you don't seem to publish a change log I can't make a suggestion as to what you've introduced that's created a dependency on this new library.

Kevin

There was no new requirements, so the change you noticed must be related to the way Partha build release, maybe he changed something in his environment before 0.7.3.2.

Delaboratory requires only wxWidgets, libtiff, libxml (well it's not used in last releases) and dcraw (but this is executable not library), and on Windows everything comes in one installation.

Older 7.3.x releases were very unstable on Windows (empty image during send to gimp, because some strange events sequence in WinAPI), that's why I announced the one which looks stable

The following files get installed at 0.7.3.3
Delaboratory.url
dcraw.exe
delab-uninst.exe
delaboratory.exe
libgcc_s_dw2-1.dll
libjasper-1.dll
libjpeg-8.dll
liblcms-1.dll
libpng15-15.dll
libstdc++-6.dll
libtiff-3.dll
libtiff-5.dll
libxml2-2.dll
zlib1.dll

Is this library available in older installation? Anyway if it works for others then it must be part of some other installation/update.

Thanks Jacek; added Delaboratory to my Pseudogrey tut links. http://justpaste.it/pseudog_gimp

Can't seem to get Pseudogrey to work Jacek; can you step me throught the process? I do see the option when I click the b/w colorspace option twice, but the saved result just gives me 256 tones (as expected for regular b/w but not Pseudogrey).

1. start delaboratory
2. open TIFF or JPEG image (in sRGB) or RAW image (in ProPhoto)
3. click "BW vignette" (so you will have nice gradient)
4. go to colorspace and select sRGB, so you move back from BW to sRGB
5. click "conversion" on layer stack to set pseudogrey slider
6. export to gimp or to file

please watch this video for more info: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b2Hvu0Ae38I

the mistake you are making is that you finish with BW which is single channel, you need to go back to sRGB

Have to admit I'm a novice with Delaboratory; will view the video and again, thanks for the additional steps.

So your fresh view will be very helpful in finding bugs and other problems

Have some additional things that I'll PM you on Jacek. Thanks again for Delaboratory and it's continued enhancements.

I tried upgrading Delaboratory-0.7.3.1-32bit to Delaboratory-0.7.3.3-32bit, it crashed on start. I then tried Delaboratory-0.7.3.2-32bit, it crashed on start. When I checked the Problem Reports, liblzma-5.dll was the issue. liblzma-5.dll is a Gimp 2.8 file. I tried a copy of liblzma-5.dll in the Delaboratory folder and all is working well.

Here's the Problem Report.

as you can see in previous discussion this library was also problem for other user
I believe this is some change in Partha's toolchain and he will be able to fix it easily when he got back from holidays

It's all good, I figured that was it

I saw paynekj mention of the liblzma-5.dll but no mention of a fix so I decided to list details of what I did.

let's hope he read your info and was able to resolve that
