[Gimp-user] Gimp: My illustration tool
By way of introduction... hello forum!! Since 1970 I've done illustration for magazines, newspapers, various publications, products (jigsaw puzzles, greeting cards, wall decor) In the mid-90s I went all digital. I've simplified and rather than Photoshop, Corel painter and others, now pretty much use Gimp for all of it. (3D work usually done with Rhino 3D software) Just downloaded that list of shortcuts... will be very useful... thanks!

Stedders I'm not the expert to answer this, but it may be related to memory usage in Gimp - you can adjust that to a percentage of your available ram. I've done this and found that Gimp runs better. It was locking up before. -- nateart (via www.gimpusers.com/forums) ___ gimp-user-list mailing list List address:gimp-user-list@gnome.org List membership: https://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gimp-user-list List archives: https://mail.gnome.org/archives/gimp-user-list
[Gimp-user] Move tool locks; what's triggering it?
Thanks - will take a look at the settings...

>Thanks - will take a look at the settings... I have started checking >that other apps are closed while I Gimp - that definitely helps My work is mostly geared to print, commonly 300dpi. Greeting cards (normally 5"x7" or double) are one thing, but 20"x30" wall prints can get huge - I assume that the number of layers in a file would be a factor? -- nateart (via www.gimpusers.com/forums) ___ gimp-user-list mailing list List address:gimp-user-list@gnome.org List membership: https://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gimp-user-list List archives: https://mail.gnome.org/archives/gimp-user-list

thanks... >These comments are correct >However, it is the manufacturers, publishers of the products (jigsaw puzzles, posters, products, greeting cards, and magazine ads with their ad specs etc) who specify the specifications for the imagery they will use. And... the licensing agents are aware of these specifications and will therefore not submit work to these clients that does not comply. >Often when creating the images, I take the following steps to assist in a better workflow to stay within the abilities of my system and software = >1. I work different parts of an image independently, combining them (in layers, flattening) near completion to speed up processing >2. I save often, and will combine layers on some of the iterative versions... if something needs to be corrected, I can go back a version without needing to start from scratch (painful lessons learned) >3. I have 16 gigs of ram, running windows 10, 64 bits, x64 processor. Yes, more is better... budget allowing > I like your suggestions and comments and always welcome them ++ >Yes.
