[Gimp-user] A nice toy
Gimp is a nice toy to play with. As a former Photoshop user, I still have 3 questions bugging me: 1. Let's say I have this image I need to rotate precisely by 2.5 degrees CCW. How I am supposed to do this simple task in Gimp? 2. I still didn't figure out how to quickly create my own patterns (this is a simple procedure in Photoshop). 3. A Distort tool seems to be missing in Gimp. Correct me if I am wrong. Running Gimp 1.2.3 on a Mandrake Linux box. ___ Gimp-user mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.xcf.berkeley.edu/mailman/listinfo/gimp-user
RE: [Gimp-user] A nice toy
1. Let's say I have this image I need to rotate precisely by 2.5 degrees CCW. How I am supposed to do this simple task in Gimp? Use the transform tool and set its options to rotation, traditional. Click on the image to initiate a transfrom then type -2.5 into the Angle field of the Rotation Information dialog before clicking Rotate. 2. I still didn't figure out how to quickly create my own patterns (this is a simple procedure in Photoshop). Save any image you wish to use into your patterns folder with the extension .pat. Open the pattern chooser and click Refresh to load the pattern you have just saved. 3. A Distort tool seems to be missing in Gimp. Correct me if I am wrong. Running Gimp 1.2.3 on a Mandrake Linux box. Take a look at the Filters|Distorts menu, perhaps it contains what you are looking for. -- Steve Crane http://craniac.afraid.org ___ Gimp-user mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.xcf.berkeley.edu/mailman/listinfo/gimp-user

Patterns are saved with the .pat extension. To make the pattern available from within gimp-1.2 you should save it to one of the pattern directories (e.g. ~/.gimp-1.2/patterns/ on GNU/Linux) 3.

Tom Williams [EMAIL PROTECTED] writes: What's up with the GIMP Contest site: http://contest.gimp.org/ It looks like it's been dormant since 1999. If you want contests, maybe it's a nice idea to join some of the many contest sites that are not GIMP specific and state at your submissions that they are GIMPed. If you do that it could help the publicity of GIMP more than posting submissions to a site that no Photoshopper would visit. Of course that's only for posting results, not script-fu, brushes or something like that. But hey, it's better than nothing, and I think the cross platform contest could add a little fun to the whole thing. A good starting point for funny and completely senseless contests is the contest section at B3TA: http://www.b3ta.com/ BTW, I love that site anyway. :-) [x] ulf ___ Gimp-user mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.xcf.berkeley.edu/mailman/listinfo/gimp-user

Re: [Gimp-user] A nice toy
Thank you all. Btw I loved the Iwarp distort thing. Also Transform - Perspective is indeed very similar to the Free Transform Photoshop tool. Migrating from Photoshop to Gimp will be less painfull than I thought :-) ___ Gimp-user mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.xcf.berkeley.edu/mailman/listinfo/gimp-user
