[Gimp-user] Position image on page
I just switched from Corel PhotoPaint to the Gimp and am looking for a way to position the image on the page for printing. Within PhotoPaint, the printing dialog lets you graphically adjust the size of the image and position it on the page directly by mouse. Of course, there's also the choice to set the size to original size and to center the image. Furthermore, PhotoPaint can automatically shrink the image such that it fits the paper size. How can this be done with Gimp? I didn't find the appropriate dialog / menu. Thanks for help.

You can grab the actual image in the preview and drag it where you want it. There's also the 'use original image size' button just above the print button, lower right corner. I think this is a Linux only feature. Unfortunately for Windows users. HTH, Jacob ___ Gimp-user mailing list Gimp-user@lists.xcf.berkeley.edu http://lists.xcf.berkeley.edu/mailman/listinfo/gimp-user

How can this be done with Gimp? I didn't find the appropriate dialog / menu. You have two options: (1) Switch to a non-Win32 platform. The standard print plug-in has the features you are asking for. The winprint plug-in that is used for printing on Windows seems to be rather limited in functionality. (2) Add the missing functionality to the winprint plug-in or look for someone who can do this for you (and for the other Win32 users).

Did you enable the devices in File-Preferences-Input Devices-Configure Extended Input devices? I'm assuming you already set the proper configuration lines for the tablet's parts in your X config. Unless you meant that by editing nothing, you just plugged in the tablet and it worked (which I did before I setup the X config). If that is the case, you need the appropriate lines in your X config so it knows the tablet is something other than just a USB mouse. gr33ts :m8c: Mark II ___ Gimp-user mailing list Gimp-user@lists.xcf.berkeley.edu http://lists.xcf.berkeley.edu/mailman/listinfo/gimp-user signature.asc Description: This is a digitally signed message part

The default is to have your mouse / stylus / eraser acting like a mouse. There is the linuxwacom project that allows the correct working of the wacom tablet replacing some modules in the kernel and in the xfree tree (I suppose you are using linux). This project is hosted at sourceforge : http://linuxwacom.sourceforge.net/ the problem is: there is none of the 512 (i think) pressure levels active. i don't know how this can be fixed, and I don't even know either if it is actually a GIMP problem or not [please don't kill me]...

[Gimp-user] Show mouse cursor arrow in screenshot acquire
I'd like to have the mouse cursor arrow appear in the window of an acquired screenshot. This is for when I want to illustrate a pulldown menu item. When I use the Acquire screenshot functionality of the GIMP, the cursor doesn't appear. Is there a way to have the cursor show up? Perhaps a different screenshot program, but all the ones I've seen on my system also leave the cursor arrow out of the screenshot. I'd rather not have to draw a cursor on the image later. Might not be so bad if there was a brush shape that looked like an arrow. Is it possible to add a cursor arrow brush? If so it's probably already been done, but I don't know where to get it. I'm using GIMP 1.2.3 KDE 3.1.3-6.6 Red Hat Linux Red Hat Enterprise Linux WS release 3 (Taroon Update 4) (2.4.21-27.0.1.EL) If this is in the documentation please let me know, I couldn't find it there or online in mail list archives or GIMP website. -Ken ___ Gimp-user mailing list Gimp-user@lists.xcf.berkeley.edu http://lists.xcf.berkeley.edu/mailman/listinfo/gimp-user

[EMAIL PROTECTED] (2005-01-14 at 1518.18 -0700): I'd like to have the mouse cursor arrow appear in the window of an acquired screenshot. This is for when I want to illustrate a pulldown menu item. When I use the Acquire screenshot functionality of the GIMP, the cursor doesn't appear. Is there a way to have the cursor show up? Perhaps a different screenshot program, but all the ones I've seen on my system also leave the cursor arrow out of the screenshot. It is how X11 works. There are plans to allow apps to ask about what cursor is in use, but not yet. I'd rather not have to draw a cursor on the image later. Might not be so bad if there was a brush shape that looked like an arrow. Is it possible to add a cursor arrow brush? If so it's probably already been done, but I don't know where to get it. Yes, from cursor themes or from the default cursor font (yep, that is what the cursors were until recently). So get one arrow from there, and paste it more or less where the cursor really was. Quick trick if you want the plain X11 cursors: 1 Run xfd -fn cursor, resize it if necesary, so things do not overlap. 2 Take a screenshot of it. 3 In gimp, duplicate the background (bg-l for short) and set top layer to difference, call it diff-l. 4 Move diff-l to the right, one column, and align so you get first column without any overlap but 2nd, 4th, ... N*2 overlap and show the cursors with black bg, and 3th, 5th N*2+1 as random crap due unrelated images mixing. Be careful, or use the arrow keys, so you get the perfect match, it is not hard to see anyway. 5 Copy the bg-l again, and move it to the top of stack, name it helper-l, set it to not visible so you can see next step. 6 Merge diff-l and bg-l, to get merged-l. 7 Add a layer mask to merged-l. 8 Invert helper-l colours, then select all of it and copy. Toogle visible if you need for this step. 9 Activate the layer mask of merged-l and paste, apply the layer mask. And you are ready to cut any cursors you like. I think those are more or less all the steps. Steps 5, 7, 8 and 9 can be ignored if you crop to one cursor and clean up the black background that will be left around it, for example with the magic wand as selection method.
