[Gimp-user] image profiles
Dear All, Can anyone help me to make clear about the horizontal profile and vertical profile of an image? I want to know some details about how to constructing these profiles for an image. Moreover, are there some algorithms that can roughly locate the objects in an image quickly? Any help will be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance. QingHua.

Hi, I've a wacom graphire2 usb. This works with gimp when I use the 'Screen' mode for the wacom tools (stylus / eraser / cursor) but gimp crashes, when I set either of these tools to 'Window'.

[Gimp-user] Re: Gimp-user Digest, Vol 3, Issue 7
Hi all again, As you've probably all guessed i am working on animated pictures on the web. i am currently trying to understand PNG and MNG (tutorials any one?). But I have had success with GIFs. now these files aren't the best thing to work with but at the time being it shall do... my question of the day is: how can i automate a number of actions/operations in GIMP? I have been working in a method that is taking FOREVER and all i'm doing is taking a black-and-white graph of a function, converting the colors, putting the result as a layer mask on a colorful layer and finally merging all the visible layers into one. any ideas?? one idea my associate and i thought of was trying to get the ASCII part of the gimp file that describes a certain file's properties. this was nice in thoery but not apllicable (binary file). hope to hear from you all soon, Ariel Kass __ Do you Yahoo!?

I have nothing in the clip board that I know of (nothing more then an odd bit of text, anyways) when I ask to create a new image. I rather like being able to define the default size for new images.
