[Gimp-user] Setting preferences for saving png
Hi all! I usually have to save transparent pixels of PNGs, but time to time don't save them just to compare the difference in size. The problem is that default preferences get changed, and if I just save instead of save as, I lose my work on the transparent parts of the image. Is there a way to hardcode preferences for saving a png? Thanks Pere ___ Gimp-user mailing list Gimp-user@lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU https://lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU/mailman/listinfo/gimp-user

All other image formats are for what you want to do with the images after having them processed with Gimp. If you switch to using .xcf as you primary file format and only export to .png (or whatever) if you are done with your work, you won't lose anything.

However, the editing of transparent pixels is handled by a script (mktpstamp) as the end step to save a png from a layer in the xcf file, and sometimes I want to improve the results of this script, hence I am editing directly the png file. I've tried a call to file-png-set-defaults in the script I use, but even if I see ~/gimp-2.4/parasiterc writed when quitting gimp, this doesn't affect the current session. For now, I've created a simple script that just calls file-png-save2 whith the parameters I need and use it for saving.

[Gimp-user] black white
I am trying to gather information on how to convert from colour to black white. In my searches I came across the following which is in photoshop:- http://www.northlight-images.co.uk/tutorial_pages/elements_2/PSE2_BW.html Could some kind person please explain to me how I do this in GIMP so that I can add it to my list of things to try.

Re: [Gimp-user] How to make text fit a shape, not just follow a path?
Inkscape can do that sort of thing. AFAIK, Gimp doesn't natively have this capability, tho I suppose somebody could write a plugin. But you could do it in Inkscape and then import it into Gimp, either as a bitmap, or as a path. --- Shin Diggar [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Hello, Is it possible to draw a closed shape using paths and then make some text fill the inside of that shape? This would be like text following a path but instead of just using it as a baseline it would stretch the width and height of the text to follow the full interior of the shape. It's something that's very common on badges and logos, and here is a mock-up I made to simulate what I'd like GIMP to do for me: http://img260.imageshack.us/img260/4541/textsr9.png I know there are tricks that can be used on raster text to create simple shapes such as bulging or squeezing the centre using lense distortion or other features, but I'm more interested in making text follow irregular (but precise) shapes, preferably using vectors/paths like the current text-to-path feature does.
