Hi, John R. Culleton [EMAIL PROTECTED] writes: A long while back I had a selection of fonts available for Gimp. I had instructions for installing the fonts and making them work.

Comic Book retro style dots [Re: [Gimp-user] Camera to Comic Book]
The more detail you provide in your question the better chance you have of getting exactly the answer you want. If you want an effect like that seen in the Rhino picture you need to learn about Halftones, which is very much retro comic book style as opposed to some of the other simplrer more straighforward Cartoon effects like: Filters, Artistic, Cartoon... The wikipedia page isn't a bad place to start if you want to learn more about Halftones: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Halftone There is also a plugin for the gimp that can achieve this effect but it was confusingly called Newsprint. The Newsprint plugin failed to mention the term Halftone in the short description so even when I knew what I was looking for it still took me ages to actually find the gimp version. http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=301201 Thanks to Michael Natter the next version of the gimp Plugin Browser has a more flexible search tool which will hopefully make things easier to find in future but I still think the Newsprint plugin could benefit from an overhaul/rename/improved documentation.

Re: Comic Book retro style dots [Re: [Gimp-user] Camera to Comic Book]
I really like this technique! Besides the mentioned Newsprint filter there's Gimp's own Filters/Artistic/Cartoon which can help a lot with the black parts. Edge detection on a desaturated version of the layer can also help with delineating the contours The link that Jad Madi supplied also referenced the original Photoshop tutorial at http://www.macmerc.com/sections.php?op=viewarticleartid=209page=1 Some of the methods that are used must be done differently in Gimp, but apart from that it's the same moves. Admittedly I can't get my attempts to turn out as nice as theirs. 1) The crosshatching technique in the dark areas is very essential to this. I'm sure real Gimp-wizzes can achieve spectacular results with the GIMPressionist or whatever but I'm a novice at that. .. New layer .. Drag the pattern 'Stripes 48x48' onto the layer .. Filters/Map/Displace: In X and Y displace source menuboxes choose the original layer .. Add layer mask to the layer which should be distorted now (right click on the layer in the layer menu .. Copy original layer (select layer, Ctrl+C) and paste to the mask (left click on mask, Ctrl-X, Ctrl-H) .. Apply Curves to the mask (Layer/Color/Curves). Set the curve to something like this: `\_ or ``|__ 2) He often uses a combination of Photoshop's Threshold (for making something black-white) and a Diffuse filter which does anisotropic filtering. I can only guess what it does as I don't have Photoshop, but I think that Diffuse+anisotropic == Filters/Noise/Spread with a bit of antialiasing to soften up the hard threshold. You should get the same effect by copying the layer to a new image, double the size, applying Spread, downscaling with Cubic interpolation and copying back again. Anybody who knows a better technique? 3) His Filter/Artistic/Poster Edges is somewhat of a riddle to me, especially since he sets Edge Thickness and Edge Intensity to 0. 4) Then comes my biggest problem: He uses Filter/Artistic/Cutout which has it's closest sibling in Gimp's Image/Mode/Indexed (applyed to a copy of the layer - set dithering to None, not Floyd-Steinberg, and a low color count) or perhaps Layers/Colors/Posterize. HOWEVER this renders very noisy borders between color bands. How to simplify the borders is beyond me, unless one does a Filters/Blur/Gaussian Blur first, but is that good? Perhaps use Filters/Noise/Spread a bit to loosen up on the sharp color areas 5) He uses the original layer with blend-mode 'Color' for changing the colors of his posterized layer. I don't think that Gimp and Photoshop uses the same blend-scheme because he recommends changing both the saturation and lightness of the color-layer for cartoonish style. Nothing happens in Gimp when I change the layers saturation. But making a second layer with mode set to 'Saturate' does somewhat the same. That's what I can think of right know..

[Gimp-user] I can't print
To [EMAIL PROTECTED] After frustration with a download that didn't work, I found an intelligent friend who helped me download the appropriate Mac OS X GIMP package successfully to my Mac Powerbook, and I started using it. When it came time to print, it wouldn't print. It automatically seemed to recognize that my printer is a Canon S820 but it said the printer model is postscript 2. I tried changing printer model and found NO Canon S820 printer in the menu. Then I looked at command and PPD File and found information so confusing that I wondered what in heck I [an ordinary mortal and not a supergeek] was doing trying to use GIMP! What can I do here? There ought to be a simpler way to print! I was able to save it as a .JPG and open the jpg photo using Macintosh's Preview and then print to .pdf printing from Preview, And I was also able to print multiple copies by bringing it into iPhoto, but I'd like to be able to print without having to do workarounds. So bottom line: Can I have idiot directions as to how to configure my GIMP to print using my Canon S820 printer?

[Gimp-user] megapixel ?
is there a way in Gimp, to add or double megapixels? Genunie Fractals, does this (added plug-in ) for photoshop. so, you could take a 2.x megapixel photo and add to it, other words, so printing a 11x14 looks good.
