[Gimp-user] A couple of questions from a newbie
This is off topic for Gimp users, but since you guys work with graphics a lot, I was hoping someone might know the answers. Anyone knows what is the name of the technique for creating an image (collage) out of thousands of images matched by colors, shades, etc.? Also, if there are any tools in perl or java for creating one? Another question is about a Gimp function. Is there a way to do in Java what Gimp does when I select Layer/Colors/Levels/Auto? Any pointers on either of the questions would be most appreciated. TIA, Ed ___ Gimp-user mailing list Gimp-user@lists.xcf.berkeley.edu http://lists.xcf.berkeley.edu/mailman/listinfo/gimp-user

"Walking ants" means it's not a layer... it's a floating selection... [see my later message]. Solution: Make the "floating" layer non floating - by putting it on another layer. -- ~Mike - Just my two cents - No man is an island, and no man is unable. ___ Gimp-user mailing list Gimp-user@lists.xcf.berkeley.edu http://lists.xcf.berkeley.edu/mailman/listinfo/gimp-user

Why is this useful? So I can paste something, and then move it around a bit to figure out where I want it. Solution: Click outside the selection boundaries before rotating. -- ~Mike - Just my two cents - No man is an island, and no man is unable. ___ Gimp-user mailing list Gimp-user@lists.xcf.berkeley.edu http://lists.xcf.berkeley.edu/mailman/listinfo/gimp-user

First open an picture (which should be rectangular in shape). Then copy the picture (or a part of it). Create a new pic (under File/New). Paste (a regular paste into the new pic). Click on the rotate icon and then click on the pasted layer. Rotate arbitrarily and confirm by pressing the "Rotate" button. Try "Image/Fit canvas to layer". Here my pic is missing the information that ended up outside of the canvas boundaries when I rotated. I don't have a function called "Image/Center layer". >unless (perhaps), you have other layers underneath which are not visible. Well, the only layer I have, except the pasted one, is the "Background".

I believe it's case two, but I'm not sure. That's what my experience has shown me. Otherwise, I'd imagine it was a bit odd. Let's say P1 was <0,0,0> (black), and P2 was <255,255,255> (white)? I don't think case 1 would even be possible.

Ok, that works. Thank you! But why would gimp crop the image? I tried resizing the canvas to fit the layer (after doing the rotate, with "Image/Fit canvas to layer"), before sending my first mail. If gimp isn't cropping the layer then how do I get the missing parts back? Thanks to all who replied!

Use the rotate functions found in the Image->Transforms menu. After all it appears that you want to rotate the image, not only the layer. BTW, the layer isn't cropped, it just extends beyond the canvas. Sven ___ Gimp-user mailing list Gimp-user@lists.xcf.berkeley.edu http://lists.xcf.berkeley.edu/mailman/listinfo/gimp-user
[Gimp-user] Rotating an image
Hi! I'm trying to rotate an image (which is in a layer) by 90 degrees which is taller than it's width. So when I rotate it, gimp will automatically crop the image no matter what I do. I have the "Clip result" unchecked. Gimp 2.2.8. How do I remedy this (I'm stumped)?
