[Gimp-user] Gimp 2.3.x on Debian

2005-10-04 Thread Eric P
I can't remember if I asked this before or not, but does anybody make
any 2.3.x packages for deb?

I used to compile my own these past few years on Suse w/checkinstall to
stay up on development progress, but since switching to Debian earlier
this year I haven't got back on board.

I think I tried compiling 2.3.1 back a few months ago, but checkinstall
failed to make a deb package... (going off a foggy memory).

Can anyone spank me onto the straight and narrow here?

Thanks for reading...
Eric P

Various Script-Fu scripts included with GIMP; e.g. Alpha To
Logo-->Alien Glow or similar.

Simply use colour-to-alpha on the background colour or use the magic
contious-region select and delete.  Note, you'll need an alpha channel
on your image (right-click the layer in the main image and click "Add
Alpha Channel" if it's not greyed out).  Also, IIRC, the script works
on one layer and does various things (e.g. copies it), so if your logo
+ text are seperate and you want different glows, you may need to make
them seperate one-layer images and then figure out how to organize and
fiddle with the various layers to get the effect you want.

Another idea would be, in a new layer under existing object, to take a
selection of the background, invert the selection (so you're selecting
the object), grow the selection, make it a colour, and then make it
semitransparent (I believe a slider on the layers dialogue does this)
- and then put in a background colour layer behind all that (meaning
your image must have alpha... like above).

i think i was able to do something like this with 
Alpha To Logo-->Alien Glow but to maintain the original layer, i needed
to work on a copy lower than the original.

Im trying to make some buttons for a web site. The buttons could be text 
or an small image plus text. I havent found a way to draw something like 
a glow around the image and text for highlighted buttons, can somebody 
give me an idea about this?

well, thanks to michael i remembered three plug-ins i had bookmarked:
http://www.logarithmic.net/pfh/resynthesizer/removal
http://www.geocities.com/lode_leroy/gimp/
http://www.greyc.ensicaen.fr/~dtschump/greycstoration/demo.html

when i read one of these requests, i try to think of how to work with
the gimp tools to handle the problem.  i do not think about the plug-ins
i know about or at least have bookmarked.

one of these will probably do the job -- perhaps all three of them.  i
don't know how to fix my brain though
