[Gimp-user] Gimp possibilities
Gimp is a very good image editor. It can edit scaned image, eg photos. Paint scaned drawings, manga skecths or inked drawings. Or simply create a image from the nothing. Gimp have very good filters created by very good developers, and very good tools. Have blur, motion blur, noise, each filter can be used for diferrents things, depending of the wanted result. Have pencil, brush and a spray for paint, each can be used, too, for diferrents things. Some techniques can be used to improve your images using Gimp resources, eg yellow supernova + blur = sun or white spray + cian background = sky with clouds. Using some of these you can create images from nothing. You can use layers to add nice effects to your image or organize diferrent things, such as house and scenary. A good and simple recourse is the text with effect. You draw a WHITE text, click in it layer, cut, paste in the MASK of other layer. Finished, text with effect. Yes, is really a very good image editor and manipulator. But only work when you know what you are doing. If do not know, just train until know. -- Example of wallpaper made in 15 minutes with Gimp, lap1994.deviantart.com, check Above The Clouds! ___ Gimp-user mailing list Gimp-user@lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU https://lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU/mailman/listinfo/gimp-user

Thanks You could turn off antialiasing (extension of the stroke dialog under line style) or use the pencil as paint tool there with a 1 pixel brush, these two methods look equivalent to me. You might have noticed that you have full color pixels where the path goes straight across a pixel, but less when the pixel is only touchedm this is due to the antialiasing that's on by default.

It appears on the surface to be based on some version of GIMP but they seem to have made some substantial changes behind the scenes. It is only for the Mac, has a number of UI tweaks (ie. icon for active tool larger than the other tool icons), uses something called Core Image (their version of a GEGL type library), makes use of a GPU, and they have done a nice job on the manual. Other versions of GIMP for sale are mostly just repackaged or rebranded versions with little (if any) changes. This does not appear to be the case with this version. -- Cheers!
