Jeri Hi Jerry, I am not sure to understand what you want to say (next time, please give more details about the context, the tools you use and the actions you perform). I will try a first guess (10% it is what you mean): You want to paint onto an image and you are using the paintbrush tool for it. And you find the lines too fuzzy. You should first try to change the brush to not fuzzy ones (circle instead of Circle Fuzzy for instance). If it is still too smooth and you want to have jagged lines, then use the pencil tool instead of the paint brush. Second guessed interpretation (10% of chances too): You paint with a colour but still can see the background image through. Then, check the Opacity in the tool options (usually, it is in the bottom half of the toolbox window, you can also double-click the paintbrush tool). Opacity setting should be set to 100.

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? There was a perl plugin for that in the old time (gimp1): http://www.jfedor.org/misc/ You may find some discussion about the subject here: http://www.gimptalk.com/topic.php?a=vt=297f=9 Another one is a script-fu.

Dave Neary wrote: 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. I would add to Dave's advice that afterwards, you need to add the directory containing ghostscript to your path or do the follwoing: From the Gimp-for-Windows FAQ: I can't open PS and EPS files. Am I missing something? You need to install GhostScript to be able to read PostScript files with The Gimp. GhostScript can be downloaded from http://www.cs.wisc.edu/~ghost/. After you install GhostScript, set the environment variable GS_PROG to the full path to gs.exe.

Re: [Gimp-user] Help with colour matching problem and 'colorize'
On Monday 27 March 2006 22:54, Daniel Kasak wrote: 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? Thanks :) Dan Gimp works in the RGB color model and printers use the CMYK color model. CMYK cannot recreate all the shades available with RGB. The programmers of Gimp are working on the problem but they aren't there yet. Some tools that work in the CMYK model are Scribus and the crash-prone Krita. For your brochure task I would try Scribus. Don't expect the range of filters etc. found in Gimp but for creation of a brochure, and seeing which colors work I would go for it. There is a function in Scribus that checks for out of gamut colors in e.g., a photo and colors them green so you can evaluate the impact. -- John Culleton Books with answers to marketing and publishing questions: http://wexfordpress.com/tex/shortlist.pdf Book coaches, consultants and packagers: http://wexfordpress.com/tex/packagers.pdf ___ Gimp-user mailing list Gimp-user@lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU https://lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU/mailman/listinfo/gimp-user
