If you find yourself becoming aroused and uncomfortable by those images you should shut down your browser.

No matter where you're at in the world you're entitled to your opinion and I'm certain you have your reasons but given the choice I would choose a beautiful woman in a bikini over an ugly old man.

The bit that tells sane to push the file over to GIMP :-) What version of GIMP are you running? How was it installed? I don't know that much about SUSE. You've got to create a sym link as follows: ln -s /usr/local/bin/xscanimage ~/.gimp/plug-ins/ Check out the man page for xscanimage. Here's a link to it: http://www.mostang.com/sane/man/xscanimage.1.html Thanks :-) -- Richard Sheffield UK -- Until later: Geoffrey [EMAIL PROTECTED] I'm afraid there will be more problems with W2K than there were with Y2K...
Re: Web logo problem - transparency/gradiant
Ben FrantzDale wrote: You should be able to save as png which is readable by newer browsers. You might want to define newer browsers. Navigator 4.7 does not suport png transparency. The only other way would be to use a 256 color gif (255+transparency). You could try to use a jpg and get pixel perfect alignment with the background to give the illusion of tranparency but that will not work as well as it might sound. --Ben - Original Message - From: John S. Coxen [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Sunday, March 26, 2000 4:13 PM Subject: Web logo problem - transparency/gradiant I'm trying to design a webpage logo - for my own page, nothing professional. I know exactly what I want it to look like but I can't seem to get there from here. What I want to do is have a webpage background that is a gradient from light to dark (running from left to right). On top of that, I want to put the domain name, bump mapped, beveled and drop shadowed (I can do without the last, if necessary) and having a gradient that runs from dark to light. What I want to end up with is dark text on light background transitioning into light text on dark background. I can get the webpage background gradiant (very easy) and the logo on a transparent background (not quite as easy but I figured it out). What I can't do is put the two together. If I save the logo in a www-able format, I either lose the transparency (.jpg) or the color depth (.gif). Can anyone help me? Preferably using words of 1 syllable or less - definitely newbie level instructions required.

Re: how do i view my animated gif in gimp
Raoul Boenisch wrote: To be honest, I didn't think you could create an animated png... Uih, yes. We were talking about transparency, my fault. That's okay, it prompts a question to the list. I understand that there is work underway to create an animated png format. Does anyone know who's doing this work and how it's going? Since I am in the US and use GIMP for all my graphics, I'm subject to litigation if I create gifs with GIMP. -- Until later: Geoffrey [EMAIL PROTECTED] I'm afraid there will be more problems with W2K than there were with Y2K...

View your animated pngs with gimp or if you create web-graphics consider using gif though it is patented. Many people don't use the latest versions of netscape. Uh, the latest version of Netscape, 4.7 does not handle transparency in pngs at all, so I would assume that it would not handle animation either.

Re: script-fu examples
Actually, I mis-spoke. It did not work. convert complains: convert: Missing an image file name [No such file or directory] Using 'convert -rotate 90 14.jpeg' and 14.jpeg is in the current directory.
