Re: [Gimp-user] Convert text to path

 Hi,

 I'm reading in the manual http://docs.gimp.org/en/ch07s05s05.html that I can 
 convert tet to path, but I cannot find or I don't know how to access the text 
 tools option Create path from text button they are talking about. What I am 
 doing is double clicking on the text layer on the layers window, maybe this 
 is wrong?
   

You don't say what version of GIMP you are using, but the bar, [Create] 
path from Text is in the text toolbox, not the layers window. Note that 
in GIMP 2.6, the wording on the bar omits the word Create.

[Gimp-user] Increasing DPI of image

2008-11-17 Thread Dotan Cohen
Can Gimp increase the DPI of a PSD file without affecting the physical
dimensions of the image? We have a wedding invitation in PSD that is
72 DPI and the printer needs 300 DPI. Thanks in advance.

You need to scale your image up to 300/72 (~416.6%) of it's current
size as well as setting DPI to 300.

To understand why, you need to realize that your original question is
like asking 'How can I make this small while keeping it big?' -- DPI
is literally  how many pixels are printed per inch. Less pixels in the
source image == less physical size.

That is actually what I had done, David, however I figured that it was
worth asking if there is a better way in Gimp. Lots of people smarter
than myself have worked on Gimp, and I should imagine that my
situation is not unique.

Thanks!

[Gimp-user] Another question.

2008-11-17 Thread sablade08
Gimp 2.6.2
Mac OS X 10.5.5

I have photos to which I need to apply 2 watermarks that you guys showed me
how to make transparent and I thank you for that as it was a huge step on
the road to really digging into this ongoing task I've volunteered for.
(Yeah, don't ever volunteer, but I've met a lot of very helpful people!)

I've also been able to use applescript to allow me to standardize the size
of the photos, rename them and then produce a thumb size image of each
photo from the resized image while putting each into their required
directories.

Is there a database of script-fu programs I can look at 1.) to help learn
the language, and 2.) that will allow me to automate certain stages of the
placement of the 2 watermarks since each watermark will have to be placed
in a different location on each photo in order to not interfere with the
object of the photoin my case each photo will have a plane as the focal
point. 

Thanks again,

Gene

registry.gimp.org is the place to generally look for scripts. There will be 
scripts in all languages, also in script-fu/tiny-fu, so as to give you many 
examples.

I don't know much more about scripting, but maybe also 
http://www.gimp.org/tutorials/Basic_Batch/ might be helpful

Well, you could create a script which only requires you to specify
target DPI, and it would then read the current DPI, calculate the
scaling factor from that vs target DPI, scale the image, and finally
set the DPI.

gimp-image-(set|get)-resolution,
gimp-image-scale (or scale-full) would be the PDB calls you'd need for this.

Saving paths does not work in TIFF either. Only XCF saves paths.

Then your window manager is broken in a similar way.

Thanks. I'm only working on one image, but it is good to know for the
