[Gimp-user] Questions about 2.0

2004-06-05 Thread Judy Wilson
I have a couple  of questions about differences in 2.0

1. When selecting a layer in the layer dialog, the bar is blue. But
the blue bar disappers in the layer dialog when you make the image
active again. What in the layer dialog then indicates the active
layer? Or do I just know because of the border in the image?

2.When adding guidelines, they cannot be moved by using the move tool
and having it change to a hand. Any way to move them?

I have looked at the manual, and can't find these answers. Not
complaining, I really appreciate all the work done on the Gimp by
volunteers!!

Your GTK+ theme is severily broken. Of course the active item in the
list view is supposed to be visible when the window is unfocused.
Please choose a different theme for gtk+2 applications.

Check the move tool options. You probably don't have Pick a Layer or
Guide to Move selected.

Re: [Gimp-user] Gimp presentation at UNH

Thank you.  I actually speak French, so I'll jeter un coup d'oeil, and 
see what I can re-use.

A good GIMP presentation should probably talk a little bit about
the project history (5-10 mins), followed by a simple
demonstration with every step explained (about 30 mins) followed
by a QA session for about 10 minutes. If I had it to re-do,
that's what I'd do.
I'm planning on doing a little red-eye removal demo, plus how to lighten 
a dark photo, finishing off with an advanced demo like making flames 
(which I am trying to learn now).

This is great! We really should be keeping track not only of
presentation materials that people put together for
presentations, but also people who do presentations in case
someone wants to give them junkets ;)
Sign me up  ;-)  I'm trying to find time to relaunch my whole web 
presence, as a practical GNU-Linux Business/User-oriented site.  Of 
course GIMP will be featured as a primary example of the power of 
logiciel libre.
You might want to look at Simon Budig, tigert and jimmac's GIMP
stuff. Simon has several presentations/talks online, and both
jimmac and tigert have tutorials which are very good for a
presentation of the GIMP.
Merci.  Not sure if I've seen Simon's stuff, but I recognize both tigert 
and jimmac.

depending on how you have things configured, if you bring the image
window to the top by clicking on the image face, the layer you clicked
on might now be the active layer.

did you click on the center of the image window or on the title bar?
