[Gimp-user] Font scaling looks choppy
I'm working with scratchy looking fonts trying to give them something to stand out. I create a transparent canvas about 348x67 then pick a font, select white for the color, and set the font at around 34. Then using the scale tool I stretch the text to fill more of the canvas space. Then I right click the text layer and alpha to selection. Then I select - grow selection by 3. Then I use the bucket tool to fill the 3 pixel region with black. My end result is a choppy unpleasant looking white logo with a black border. Is there a better technique to use to get a smoother, cleaner finished look? ___ Gimp-user mailing list Gimp-user@lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU https://lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU/mailman/listinfo/gimp-user

I've been retracing my steps trying different things all morning and it seems (for me) the inner white text gets choppy when scaled to fill the canvas every time. I tried creating the image great big to scale it down but it does the same thing. I also tried the sharpen filter up to 99% but no luck. With my limited experience I can't think of a way around this yet.

Then I use the bucket tool to fill the 3 pixel region with black. wait a sec--what i wrote earlier isn't right. i tried your steps again, and found that once you change the size of the text with the resize tool, the resulting image isn't a vector image anymore, means it can't be scaled without quality loss. you'll have to adjust the text size by editing the font size in the toolbox. then move the text layer to the exact position you want it. you can add borders or whatever on additional layers beneath the text layer (or above it, depending on what you want to do). -- phani. ___ Gimp-user mailing list Gimp-user@lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU https://lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU/mailman/listinfo/gimp-user

It's better to adjust the font size of the text layer using the text tool than to scale it. Adjusting the font size will cause text to be re-rendered at the given size.

[Gimp-user] gimp-image-set-unit ineffective on 2.67 for windows
Hi, I'm trying to get a script to generate an image with default units (as displayed in status bar at bottom of image window) to be mm instead of pixels. My script does (gimp-image-set-unit 2) and I've even set default image grid (in preferences) in mm. No joy. Can it be done? Short exchange at http://www.gimptalk.com/forum/gimp-image-set-unit--t45138.html suggests not. Thanks for any help.

[Gimp-user] getting colors to match continued
HI! I recently had two different colors next to each other, and, using the color picker, I found out what these colors were in terms of hue, saturation, value, red green and blue (like when you click on the foreground color. It turns out that one color was quite different from the other in terms of the h,s,v,r,g,b. ow do I get the two colors to match using this information. I tried going to color balance and then adding the exact difference in each of these factors, and i got a similar color.. but I had to do it multiple times for it to work well.

[Gimp-user] Gimp on Windows 7 not Recognising PNG, JPG, etc.
I recently upgraded from Windows Vista x86 to Windows 7 x64, and am in the process of reinstalling my old programs and restoring my settings. I had reinstalled The GIMP (version 2.6.7, x86 version) and was about to use it when I found that it couldn't handle any image files at all, other than XCF. I could neither open nor create any file other than the default GIMP XCF file format. I had tried anything I could have thought of, including reinstalling GIMP and associating the files, and transferring the old settings and binaries that had worked (the old plugins library, program files folder, etc.) from my Windows.old folder into my new Windows installation, to no avail. I'm not sure what I'm missing here, or what's being incompatible here. I frequently use The GIMP for photo-editing work and I am absolutely lost without it. Could someone help me out here?
