[Gimp-user] "Image Properties" dialog in inches?
Using Gimp 2.6.10 (Windows). So, I have set my image to Inches in the dropdown in the main window, and also in the Image --> Print Size menu, but the Image --> Image Properties dialog displays the print size in mm. I find this particularly odd since the Resolution _is_ listed in ppi (pixels per Inch). Is there any way to change that? -- jk78 (via gimpusers.com) ___ Gimp-user mailing list Gimp-user@lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU https://lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU/mailman/listinfo/gimp-user

I installed Python 2.6.6 - 32bit on a PC HP Elite 7100 with i7-860 processor (64-bit) and the other necessary software components according to the install pyton Fu tutorial on this web site. After that I installed gimp 2.6.11. I see the Menu-Item Python-Fu under Filters after start of gimp. But if I klick on Python-Fu, the Python-Fu Panel doesn't open (at least not visible).

I have once followed a good tut that I think can be useful for your purpose too: http://penguinpetes.com/b2evo/index.php?title=gimp_tutorial_metallic_text&more=1&c=1&tb=1&pb=1 Of course, you will have to change this workflow to make a gel-like effect. I suppose that adding some transparency to your layer and using proper colors can solve this.
