Re: Announcing a New GIMP Book
Hello Carey, I'm looking for an up-to-date book on Gimp and I saw you message. Where can I order it? Thanks, Kati N.B.

Hi, > So it is basically Gradient Map on steroids? The option to use a gradient as colorsource is an extra goodie. The normal usage is colorizing grayscale photos with the use of color photos as color source. Ever tried to colorize human skin using standard techniquees like painting in color mode etc.? Try this with the Sample Colorize plug-in and use a portrait photo as color source. If you created your selection accurately the outcome is just perfect. Salut, Sven

Yes, I thought about going in and modifying the script. I think I will take a closer look at it. I was hoping maybe the script author is on this list and would do it so I didn't have to (not being familiar with Script-fu that much myself). If not, I may do it myself. Thanks. -- __ _ Carl B.

Announcing a New GIMP Book
Dear GIMP developers, In about a week (that is, around February 15, 2000), my book "Grokking the GIMP" will become available for sale from both bookstores and online sources. This announcement is to let you know that Laurie Petrycki, my editor at New Riders Publishing, has generously agreed to send a complimentary copy of the book to each of the "core" developers of the GIMP. The definition we finally agreed on for the core developers are those persons whose names are listed in the file "about_dialog.c" as of version 1.1.15 of the GIMP (see attached list). To let you know a little about the book, "Grokking the GIMP" is a full 4-color, intermediate to advanced guide. Its goal is to explain the most powerful tools in the GIMP, and how to use these tools in the most effective ways. In addition to the conceptual approach adopted by the book, nine major projects, as well as many smaller ones, present the practical aspects of using the GIMP for advanced image manipulation work. The book covers in detail photo touchup, image enhancement, image compositing, rendering, and image development for the Web. For more on the book, you can visit the New Riders Web-site at http://www2.newriders.com/cfm/prod_book.cfm?RecordID=307. I am also happy to announce that the book will be available under an open publication license. I am currently setting up the Web-site that will make the contents of "Grokking the GIMP" available to the public at large, and I hope to debut the site before the end of February 2000. I plan to send an individual e-mail to each of the persons named in the following list. However, because I am not sure that all the e-mail addresses I have are correct, and because I am missing the addresses of several listed developers I am asking you to help notify those who may not be reading this mailing list. For those of you on the following list who are interested in receiving a complimentary copy of "Grokking the GIMP", please send me your snail-mail address and indicate whether you would like me to sign your copy.

A number of new bugs would certainly be introduced by doing > so. That's why I say: It's too late! Agreed. Its a pity that I dont have the time to complete the tool at the moment and - as pointed out earlier - I dont dare to touch the Path-Dialog in the current feature-freeze state. The converting-to-selection should be pretty easy. > > I'd like to hear the thoughts of developers, too Hmm - Sven is no developer??? Did you mean me? I did the above statement some time ago - so what? The behaviour of the old Path-tool is strange - yes. But I dont think it is buggy. I can not remember how to use it and so it sometimes seems strange when clicking on an anchor creates a new anchor. But this is not a bug: To move an anchor you have to press IIRC Ctrl.

I trust, when the time comes to winnow plug-ins down to production numbers, the traffic on this mailing list will increase dramatically ;) By the way, /Filters/Colors/Map/Sample Colorize... which engendered this small aside has Wolfgang Hofer as author of record (and no one is maintaining it on a regular basis, according to PLUGIN_MAINTAINERS) Were Karin/Olof unsung contributors?

Re: Sample Colorize [Was: Re: Buggy plugins]
Hi, >Personally, I think similiar tricks may be pulled fully in the confines >of the Curve tool, but as Marc pointed out, not everyone is a copy of me >(or is it 'a copy of Daniel Egger'? I forget ... ;), so some people >may find this plug-in to be lots and lots of fun. you should try it with another color image as input source. If you'd ever seen how Karin turns an old b/w photo into a colored one in a few minutes, you would know how good and useful his plug-in really is. (I had the chance to make this joyful experience last year in Berlin, when Karin and Olof presented the printed versiom of the GUM.) Salut, Sven

The Bezier Select Tool behaves very strange: Points appear automatically here and there and sometimes I can't change a curve. I don't know how this can be reproduced as I can't trigger this bugs always... :/ > Even a gimp-beginner can find this out in minute or so. A beginner will most probably not use this tool for making selection because it'll give strange results if you don't know how it works... No, this aren't just my thoughts. I demonstrated the GIMP to quite a lot of people who are using it now and tell me those things. > Serious question: are you reading this list, or are you ignoring what > others write? I am not so sure anymore... I do read this list but I can't read any messages that didn't go through my mail system first, if you know a fix for this, I'd really appreciate it... :) -- Servus, Daniel
