Re: [Gimp-user] Color Schemes
Anyone do anything special to create palettes? I like Agave a lot. The (Adobe) kuler website is nice as well - I wrote (an admittedly hackish) plugin to import kuler palettes: http://registry.gimp.org/node/10325 Add http://www.colourlovers.com/ to the bunch. -- http://niels.kicks-ass.org ___ Gimp-user mailing list Gimp-user@lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU https://lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU/mailman/listinfo/gimp-user

That I'd argue about as its fresh in my mind. Autocrop, when viewing the image I had moved to the top of the canvas in order to get rid of the blanked area above it, but that left about 2/5ths of the canvas at the bottom of the image blank, it having been selected and cut using what I thought was a crop function. I agree that it can behave in a very confusing way when you have a selection active. IMO it doesn't make sense to use it when a selection is currently defined, we should either ignore the selection or bail out saying 'this doesn't make any sort of sense to perform when there is a selection. use Select-None and then rerun Autocrop, if that is really what you meant' AutoCrop always reported there was nothing to crop, as did zealous crop. Zealous crop does the same sort of thing, except for each individual object in the image (one of the effects of this is that the spaces between images are reduced. This is often handy for webpage authors.) images? I meant parts? mini-images, maybe. When it doesn't dump that portion of the canvas with it, leaving blank canvas behind, taking up space in the image. That to me is not a crop, its an erase. Even a 'cut' should take the canvas/paper with it, and a paste should add it back in. But I realize too that that might be several times more difficult to code. It seems to me that you are thinking in terms of an infinite canvas (which is relatively unsurprising given the background you have). However the canvas in GIMP is strictly finite, as is the case with many painting and photo-editing programs. The new system in GEGL, that is being integrated into GIMP, brings the possibility of support for an infinite canvas (and I'm sure it will be discussed, when the time comes). However, such support would be strictly optional if implemented. Why? Because the behaviour you describe (shrinking when cut, expanding when pasting) is actually quite rude for a lot of usage patterns (mainly if the image is going to end up on the web), where the coherency of layouts depends on images remaining exactly the same size. Expanding for pasting is not automatic, but it's pretty easy to do manually: 1. Paste whatever you want, where you want. 2. Image-Fit canvas to Layers 3. Click the New Layer button to make a new layer out of the pasted content 4. Rightclick on that layer and select 'Merge Down' (the above is only needed when pasting actually would expand the canvas and you want it to.)

Re: [Gimp-user] Help again, same old story.
Cropping an image is a really simple operation. In her recent book Beginning GIMP From Novice to Professional Second Edition, Akkana Peck discusses how to do it on pp 35-38. I highly recommend you get the book, it is worth every penny. If you prefer to scale an image, look on pp 21. Bob On 05/03/2009 10:44 PM, Gene Heskett wrote: Greetings; Latest gimp-2.6 from fedora installed, and once again I am attempting to crop an image and cannot. Why is it so difficult to select a rectangular area of the image, like the whole top 1/3 or the whole bottom 1/3, and just plain crop it just as if I'd taken the paper cutters to the print. But while I can make the 'canvas' white, I cannot actually cut that part of the canvas and toss it in /dev/null, which should be indicated by the checkerboard pattern replacing it. Really guys, I fail to see why such an operation requires I post to the list each and every time I want to do it. So how DO it go about getting rid of, totally and forever if I haven't saved a backup copy, those parts of an image that should never ever see the light of day, or worse yet, waste bandwidth when it has to be uploaded at a hair over 50k/sec on my adsl circuit. Just turning it white doesn't cut it, I want it gone. This, most simple of a photo manipulation has been hidden behind portable menu mumbo jumbo for a decade now, is it not possible to fix it for almost main menu access, just by drawing a box around what you want, invert the selection and anything outside the box is gone forever, or at least till its undone. Thanks guys, but please fix this most simple of photo editing function there is.

Re: [Gimp-user] 2.6.X manual
It's on a Windows 2000 machine. I downloaded and installed the user guide into: E:\GIMP\GIMP-2.0\share\gimp\2.0\help\en Then I opened the Preferences dialog and looked at the Help System menu item. There is a choice to use the online help or a locally installed copy. I select Use a locally installed copy but the dialog announces that The user manual is not installed locally. When I try to open the help system using either my default browser (FF2) or GIMP's help browser, I'm again told I don't have the help manual installed. So I guess I don't have the manual in the right place. I'm real close but don't have it working quite yet.

Re: [Gimp-user] 2.6.X manual
Ken: So I guess I don't have the manual in the right place. I'd guess that you probably DO have the manual in the right place. For some reason, the interface between GIMP and the help manual and Windows is broken in 2.6. In November, 2008, I reported the same issue on this list, was told it was a known issue, and was to be fixed in the next release. As this was 2.6.2, my assumption at the time was that next release meant 2.6.3, but as we are now to 2.6.6, I'm guessing instead that next release actually means no earlier than 2.8.x ns ___ Gimp-user mailing list Gimp-user@lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU https://lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU/mailman/listinfo/gimp-user
Re: [Gimp-user] 2.6.X manual
Ken: Upon further reflection it occurs to me that this may be an issue with the Windows installer for GIMP, which is not officially supported. The person who thoughtfully provides the windows installer, does not seem to include the help files in the installer, which would help resolve the issue. My next working plan is to use a mirror utility to copy the on-line help to my local machine. ns ___ Gimp-user mailing list Gimp-user@lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU https://lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU/mailman/listinfo/gimp-user
