Re: [Gimp-user] Export to EPS
Hi, Vytautas P. wrote: Some people using Wndows OS and The GIMP complains about their unability to open EPS files. Maybye they should install some libs or something? Yes - to export or import EPS on Windows, you need Ghostscript installed. You can get it at http://www.cs.wisc.edu/~ghost/ Cheers, Dave. -- David Neary [EMAIL PROTECTED] ___ Gimp-user mailing list Gimp-user@lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU https://lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU/mailman/listinfo/gimp-user
Re: [Gimp-user] Multicolor pinwheel effect.
Hi John, making the gradient match exactly the circle will be the tough bit, but there's a nice trick to doing something like this: 1. Create a square image 2. Make a gradient that you want to use (I created a gradient with red at both ends, and a HSV clockwise blend mode) 3. Blend fill your rectangle 4. Add a white to transparent gradient on the bottom for the center of your circle (otherwise it'll look funny) 5. Apply a 'polar coordinates' filter You should get a pinwheel effect. To change the pinwheel, you just need to change the gradient. Cheers, Dave. John R.

Perhaps I need to put the gradient on a diagonal for this effect. I will experiment! I should mention that after I create the graphic I will select just a portion of it for the background. So the center is not critical. ___ Gimp-user mailing list Gimp-user@lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU https://lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU/mailman/listinfo/gimp-user

Pinch and whirl to perfection afterwards. The tricky bit is getting the radial pattern.

Hi, [EMAIL PROTECTED] (2006-03-27 at 1050.47 -0500): I want to create a multicolor pinwheel effect for a background, with the arms of each shade radiating out from a hub and curved rather than straight. And I want the colors to blend into each other as in a gradient. A rainbow gradient is an obvious starting point. Would anyone like to suggest a sequence of tools to arrive at this effect? If I understood what you want, do the gradient from side to side then use polar coords to convert and get the star shape. And finally pinch and whirl for the twist.

I have a question. When I go to paint the pic it blends all together. Do you know how you can turn off blending? TYIA. Jeri ___ Gimp-user mailing list Gimp-user@lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU https://lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU/mailman/listinfo/gimp-user
[Gimp-user] Lightsaber
Some friends of mine are trying to make a short Star Wars movie, and need lightsaber graphics. I intend to use GIMP to add it in frame by frame (joyously fun, I know) but don't know how to do it (a problem, to be sure). So does anyone here have any ideas/experience in making fairly good looking glowing lines? ___ Gimp-user mailing list Gimp-user@lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU https://lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU/mailman/listinfo/gimp-user
Re: [Gimp-user] color replacement

Use the Select regions by color tool and click on one of the black areas. You may need to adjust the threshold setting. Then Select|Invert. Then use the Fill tool (the bucket) - selecting BG color fill so it will fill with white, so long as your foreground and background colours are the default black and white - by clicking the image. You should now have only black and white areas. Of course, this means *everything* that is not black will be wiped out and replaced with white. -- Bob Long ___ Gimp-user mailing list Gimp-user@lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU https://lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU/mailman/listinfo/gimp-user
[Gimp-user] Help with colour matching problem and 'colorize'
Greetings. I'm a casual Gimp user. I have to make a brochure front-cover thing, consisting of a collection of existing images. I'm having trouble with colours. One particular image ( which is mostly blue, and is a large JPEG file ) copies and pastes correctly into a new image. When I print it, however, it turns quite cyan. I thought this might just be my printer drivers or something ( Epson R1800 with the latest gutenprint / gimpprint drivers ), but then I noticed something very interesting. When I select the layer with the blue image, right-click, and select: Layer == Colors == Colorize ... the blue image turns the *exact* colour that it turns out when printed - cyan. I've tried playing with the 'Hue' and 'Lightness' sliders. I can sort-of get a colour similar to the original, but not really. If I click 'Cancel', the colour returns to the original colour. What's going on ( specifically, why does the blue layer change colours the moment I open the 'colorize' dialog, and is this related to the colour of the final print ), and is my colour matching problem something I'm doing wrong / something I can fix?
