Diese #correctiv-Recherche hat mindestens so viel Aufmerksamkeit verdient wie die Potsdam-Geschichte um #noAfD und "#remigration".
Sie zeigt am Beispiel der „Berlin Campaign Conference“, wie Teile der CDU/CSU mit Hilfe (Geld) von Putin, Orban und Trump der Machtübernahme der Faschisten in Deutschland den Weg ebnen.
Großen Dank an @correctiv_org !

A #GIMP WIP inspired by a @prokoudine LibreArts article.
It's a Total Ink Coverage display filter! A simple algorithm that shows how much CMYK ink is being used in a particular part of the image. This is useful to know for printing, as different paper has different ink limits.
I want to integrate it with the soft-proofing pop-over as well, but this is a nice start.
GIMP reshared this.

Personally, I think sellers can demand whatever they want for luxury goods. It's on buyers to decide if it's worth it or not.
It's still annoying for me people like me, who can't afford these though.

Congrats to whistle blower Ashley Gjøvik on winning her NLRB case against Apple. Her determination and perseverance over many years is inspirational to all that fight for better working conditions, and will have a lasting impact for many years to come.
Ashley does not count herself as a part of AppleTogether, but nonetheless we admire her tenacity, and felt it would be remiss if we did not acknowledge the victory as it should directly affect all workers at Apple.

That is important but for what I saw it is not implemented the right way, you don't want desaturate the whole image, you want to work on the darkest areas...
What is missing is how to handle
GCRandUCRto determine how reseparate colors and use more K and less CMY...Some documentations:

in reply to 🧊 freezr 🥶 • • •@freezr Hi! I was trying to implement it as described here: prepressure.com/design/basics/…
Did I misunderstand their description?
The image itself is not being changed, it's just an overlay that shows you which areas exceed the TIC/TAC limit (like the Out-of-Gamut overlay). You can toggle it on/off.

In my new job I am working as prepress technician and I am preparing plates from an Hidelberg suprasetter... Total ink coverage is the nightmare of the chief pressman, I usually work on the picture itself to reduce the total ink; Photoshop has a fine GCR/UCR tuning mode.
GIMP may do the same, but the point is that, unless some very specific requirement, you want to reduce the amount of ink only where it is in excess and keep the others colors safe. You don't want to change all the colors at once...
I bet Inkscape needs this too since it can't still control the CMYK output however on the vector side you are more in control of your colors.

in reply to 🧊 freezr 🥶 • • •@freezr @Drayventhal Thanks! Yes, all this display filter does is highlight the areas in the image where the total ink coverage is higher than the threshold you set. It's then up to you to make any changes - it doesn't actually affect the image directly (though there's a good suggestion to be able to create a selection from the highlighted areas).
This is just another step in improving GIMP's CMYK tool set.
