This thread brings back such memories. I used to work in graphics making the phone book and we used Canvas and Photoshop on 486DX, not even pentium, PCs! Talk about slow! I can remember actually remaking bitmaps from old files etc, taking parts out or adding, etc, by hand, pixel by pixel. I used to joke about how I was "going in", to a place where I could no longer be reached, like at 1000+ percent zoom or whatever.
The other day I tried to open (on my present laptop) some images in gimp, real big ones from my digital camera. Mistakenly I tried 48 of them at once. It got to about processing 16 of them, none open yet, before I shut it off. Just like the old days!!! :) Dan On 12/1/11, Kevin Brubeck Unhammer <[email protected]> wrote: > Rob Antonishen <[email protected]> writes: > >> On Wed, Nov 30, 2011 at 4:12 AM, Kevin Brubeck Unhammer >> <[email protected]> wrote: >> >> Bob Long writes: >> >> > Stefan Maerz wrote, >> > >> > [..] >> > >> >> It is possible to write a python-fu versioning system, right?
