Date: 2014-01-08 04:19 am (UTC)Someone supposedly made a mod for GIMP that would allow it to use actions, but it never worked properly. It doesn't have any built-in process that allows for recording a sequence of steps and saving it for later use, which is basically what actions are. Pooklet's instructions work in GIMP with a couple of modifications. (Specifically, that "Luminosity" in Photoshop translates to "Value" in GIMP. All of the tools and menus are pretty much the same as in Photoshop 5, 6, and 7, otherwise.) For CuriousB and Aelia colors, I took huge (300x300) samples of mid-tone colors from already colored pieces and noted the HTML notation values for them. (You can select a color using HTML notation in GIMP.) I keep large-size sample swatches nearby when using them so I don't muck up the colors. It's a bit crude, but it works well enough. I was trained in Photoshop 7, but I only ever had Photoshop 5 at home. (this is pre-CS...PS6 was the first to have actions.) I know my way around layers and blending modes well enough to get an extremely close approximation of most color actions. (Aelia's Retros can be kind of messy, but I seldom use them.) Personally, I'm dying for someone to go through CuriousB's ACYL, and Aelia's Eco Natural, Jewel, Lonesome, and Autumn to pick apart the steps and make notated lists. It would be so much easier to get accurate results manually...but until that happens, sample swatch and close approximation it is.
