[Gimp-user] Reduce size of an image
Hi, I made a 5x35 image using a gradient that i'll use as background for a div. I saved it as .jpg. Its size now is 325 bytes. Is there any additional method to make the size smaller?

[Gimp-user] A bunch of questions
I know that saving an image as an ~.xcf file will preserve the layers. I've never tried to save a file with an intact history, so I may be wrong, but I'm not sure you can save a file with the history intact. I've never tried to do this, because I've never needed to, since my standard workflow method is that when I work on a highly complex image, where I anticipate that I might want to have access to the history, I create this history by incremental back-ups; that is, after I have layer 1 the way I want it, I save the work, then when I get layer 2 the way I want it, I make second a back-up with a different name, and when I get layer 3 the way I want it, I make a backup with a name distinct from the first two. That's just it, though. I thought so, too, but the xcf file I saved only kept the text layers intact. Everything else that was done has been lumped together into a background layer, and thus I cannot seem to access the other layers to delete. I have, after many headaches already, adopted a similar workflow. :) Though it is rather annoying in my creative process, I hope it will help, too.

[Gimp-user] Sharpness Values GIMP vs DPP
Hi, new to the list and have used GIMP for a couple of years. Mostly doing things that I could not do in Canon's DPP(Digital Photo Pro). In windows this worked real well for me. Now I have switched to Ubuntu and I am trying to get away from using DPP. One setting I used in DPP was the sharpness on the JPG side of the RAW conversion (second tab on the toolbox). I would mostly crank it up to around 450-500. My question would be, what is that equivalent to in GIMP. In DPP it was one slider, GIMP there seems to be a few options. If there is an archive to point me too that would be perfect. Thank You ___ Gimp-user mailing list Gimp-user@lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU https://lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU/mailman/listinfo/gimp-user
[Gimp-user] No color filter for Mac??
I have version 2.6.7 for Mac OS X. I am trying to change all the pixels of one color to another color (there are too many small individual objects to change one at a time) and I keep seeing reference to a color exchange menu option, under filters. But I don't have a 'color' option under filters. Does my version not support that? Is there a newer version? Is there any other way to do it? I've tried select by color and it does select correctly, but then I can't seem to do anything with the selection, and I can't unselect! Help! Using windows so not sure if everything is int he same spot for mac but for me color exchange is reached by ColorsMapColor Exchange. You can set a threshold to change shades to the specified color. -- Adam (via www.gimpusers.com) ___ Gimp-user mailing list Gimp-user@lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU https://lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU/mailman/listinfo/gimp-user

[Gimp-user] How to select whole layer and only layer
Hi there! I would like to know how to make selection for whole layer and only area of layer. (should it be named layer to selection?) I know that this can be done with rectangle selection, and with use of zoom this will give correct effect, but it will take some (too much imho) time for this operation. It is not so simply to pres ctrl+a, but it should be in my opinion. After select region of layer i would like to make shrink, border or other things of this selection. The process and effect i have now: background is 1024x768 layer_1 is 100x100 in 1/3 in width and height selecting layer_1 from layers ctrl+a shrink selection by 3 px if 'shrink selection from image border' is selected then i see effect, but it is from image border, not layer border else i don't see any effect of shrink How to do it simple, easy and fast to select area of layer? Without need of zooming for rectangle selection for small layers... Kind regards!

[Gimp-user] Measure tool (feature proposition)
Hi there, i sometimes need to measure distances on photo. i do so using not only gimp but i need also calculator to do it. The problem is that the measure tool doesn't have scale parameter. It would be great if i can firstly measure scale and set distance for it (ex 20px = 38m) and then measure other things that i need, where the result will be shown not only in px but also in meters (or other units ex. mile, foot, inch etc). Easiest example is screenshot of google map, where you have scale on bottom, and you would like to know the distance from A to B on this scale. Much further feature would be measure of areas, using also feature of scale. Simple areas like square, rectangle, or any of quadrilaterals, triangle, oval, circle, ellipse etc... This would be perfect, but i don't know to whom i should send this proposition, so please forward it to right persons if they are not reading this list. Kind regards!

Hello Adam, you could just set the resolution (pixels / whatever) in ImagePrint Size and set the display units to whatever you need in the little dropdown menu near the status bar. Then the measure tool should always give you the real-world size as well. The only thing you have to do by hand is calculating the resolution in the first place.

[Gimp-user] anyone in NYC?
hey im organising an event (see below) in NYC which will be working with gimp and other free softwares used in design to get them into a text book (replacing adobe cs4)...if anyone is in NYC please come! (let me know if u can else just turn up) FLOSSify 1 : Digital Foundations For a long time educational courses have been cheap marketing for proprietary software companies. Can a student really afford all those expensive softwares required by the courses? No. Ever hear of a software company kicking up a fuss because students are using 'unofficial' versions? Well, it does happen but not often. And why not? Because proprietary software companies know, as the universities know, that once the students leave their training they will be indoctrinated with those tools and simply slipstream into being paid up proprietary software citizens. Simply put, unlicensed software used in education is tolerated because it is cheap marketing. This is how tools become 'industry standards'. FLOSS Manuals is fighting this flow by converting textbooks that use proprietary software to using free software in their examples. We call this process FLOSSify. We convert the book from closed software to Free Libre Open Source Software (FLOSS) hence we 'FLOSSify' the book. Our first text book is the wonderful Digital Foundations book produced by Michael Mandiberg and Xtine Burrough (http://digital-foundations.net/). Its a text book designed to teach software by teaching design. The current toolset it uses is the Adobe Creative Suite and we will convert these examples entirely to using free software. Not only have the authors given the kind permission to go ahead with this, they originated the idea and approached FLOSS Manuals to be involved. We are very happy to get behind this initiative and work with the authors to create a fantastic text book promoting the use of Free and Open Source Software within design courses. FLOSSIFY 1 : Digital Foundations will focus on a fun 3 day event at Eyebeam, NYC. Anyone is welcome to attend and some food and beer will be provided. Come and meet some of your old geek friends, make some new, and help make a step towards unshackling education from proprietary software.

[Gimp-user] Gimp update, script-fu and other problem
Hello, I am Gimp fan. Actually - I was. Till last weekend. I decide to reinstall my WinXP system. Before reinstall I used GIMP 2.2.10+GTK. But why should I not choose at the moment newst version of GIMP? Download GIMP 2.6.3 (no GTK needed) and... disaster. 1) Open existing jpg image. Image is hidden behind current window, lot of clicking to show image. Unbelievable... 2) I make some corrections to colour, geometry, croping. I think they change layout off buttons in some dialogs - before button OK was always in right/down corner, Cancel was next... like here: http://docs.gimp.org/2.6/pl/gimp-tool-levels.html. OK, lets say I should read button description before hit. 3) I'm ready to finish and save a job. Apply my Script-Fu (flatten image, resolution, sharpen) and... My script doesnt work! That's enough for me. Download Gimp 2.2.10 + GTK, uninstal 2.6.3, instal 2.2.10. I feel good now - windows, buttons, behaviour seems OK. Open jpg, make correction, run script-fu (done), now just save and... crash... once it is no problem. Try again. I do nothing, just try to save and close image. No, it doesn't work. Gimp crashes again. OK. Back to 2.6.3. I have to do my job. Crying, but working. 2 weeks ago it took me 30 minutes to tune 20-30 images. I do it every day. Now it takes me more than one hour and I get headache every day. Any ideas? I'm not power user. Just using Gimp for 5 years. 2 or 3 years before I create my first and only Script-Fu. The team (my laptop, system, gimp, script-fu and me) was working perfect. But not today.

[Gimp-user] Dislike new crop tool
Hi this is my first post to this list. The reason that I am emailing is that the new version of Gimp has changed the crop tool and it appears to be missing one of the features that it had before. I liked that the box came up showing the dimensions of your image as it was changing. I needed this to be able to crop perfect squares. Now that the box doesn't come up it is hard to get them exactly right. Is there a way to bring the box back or is there other way of doing what I used to.

[Gimp-user] script-FU console query
Am using Gimp on Linux, and can run scripts from ./gimp-2.2/scripts but using the script-FU Console and its Procedure Browser I have trouble with. I'm assumimg operations within the Console are interactive with the currently loaded image(s) or xcf. Simple commands work, using 'Apply' from the Procedure Browser screen, like; = (gimp-version) (2.2.8) From there on, I have difficulty understanding the Return Values, and the requirements for the function parameters suchs as; CHANNELS, DRAWABLE. Like in the following, which the Procedure Browser says should be; num_images INT32 The number of Images open image_ids INT32ARRAY The list of images currently open = (gimp-image-list) (1 #(2)#102) so, #(2)#102 is a single entry array of the image ID ? How should I interpret this sequence ? So I try another command; = (gimp-image-height image) ERROR: unbound variable (errobj image) = (gimp-image-height 1) ERROR: Procedural database execution failed: (gimp_image_height 1) = (gimp-image-height 2) (600) So the #(2) part of (gimp-image-list) can be used successfully for the image parameter. This is not explained in the procedure Browser info. OK, so try another command from the Procedure Browser, = (gimp-drawable-bpp drawable) ERROR: unbound variable (errobj drawable) Now how is drawable to be defined ? While Scheme and discrete Script-FU scripts are covered well in the Gimp-Manual and other documentation, I feel that the operation of the Script-FU Procedure Browser, and the function parameters and retrurn Vaklues in particular, are a little under-documented. If someone could give me an example of using the Script-FU Console to work gimp-drawable-set-pixel that would be great. I am presently stumped with an explanation of 'drawable'.

Hello, Although I've been a member of this list since June last year this is only my third post. It's just that good a read.

It's not so much of a circle anymore, it's more bean shaped. But, hang on, whilst hovering over the Selection to Path button it tells me I can press shift to get Advanced options. Whoa there. They're not advanced options, they're uber-extra-super advanced options. Do you need a degree to use them? What exactly do I need to alter to encourage my path to more accurately follow the selection boundaries? Thanks very much for any help you can give.

Whoa there. They're not advanced options, they're uber-extra-super advanced options. Do you need a degree to use them? Well, yes. Fax me your B.Sc. and I'll put you on track. What exactly do I need to alter to encourage my path to more accurately follow the selection boundaries? Joking... Essentially, all the small numbers (1) can be made smaller to improve the outline. The numbers around 1 - 5 you'll probably have to mouse-over, and guess. 'corner surround' could be a bit bigger, 'Filter iteration count' can go up to 8 or 10, filter percent' can get tuned down to 0.2 or so, 'subdivide search' should be as small as is reasonable - 0.01 for example. 'Subdivide threshold' can also get a little bit smaller (but not too much). Play around :) Cheers, Dave. -- Dave Neary [EMAIL PROTECTED] Lyon, France ---End Message--- ___ Gimp-user mailing list Gimp-user@lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU https://lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU/mailman/listinfo/gimp-user
[Gimp-user] How to change font size?
Greetings, helpful people! I need to add annotation to images, but cannot figure out what to do to change the font size. The documentation clearly states that this is easy to do, but I have been unable to find out how to do it under Gimp 2.2. In particular, Tools - Text and Dialogs - Fonts do not seem to lead me where I want to go. I'm sure the answer is simple, but I'm stumped. What do I do? TIA, david ___ Gimp-user mailing list Gimp-user@lists.xcf.berkeley.edu http://lists.xcf.berkeley.edu/mailman/listinfo/gimp-user
Re: [Gimp-user] Gel/Bubble/Plastic edge effect?
Thank you for the pointer. After playing around with it, it could work, but not ideally what I'm looking for. However, I have found a sample of the exact effect I'm looking for: http://union.fsu.edu/SCE/images/small_red_SCE_Logo.gif Has anyone done this type of thing before? Ideas how it could be done? Thanks. Bob Long wrote: On Saturday, October 30, 2004 12:41 PM [GMT+1=CET], Adam Theo [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Hello, all. I'm looking to do a gel or bubble edge effect with Gimp 2.0.4. I have not found any tips or tutorials on how to do this, however, either on the web or in the various mail list archives for gimp. So I'm coming here as a last resort. Hopefully some patient person can help. Specifically, I'm trying to make a circle that has a round, slightly glossy edge to it, like it was made of gel or a bubble. In addition, I'm going to make a cut-out of some text in the middle, showing the background. The gel edges would also be on the circle, not on the text. http://www.geocities.com/maryofmagdala777/Tutorials/ButtonSet/ButtonSetTut.html ? ___ Gimp-user mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.xcf.berkeley.edu/mailman/listinfo/gimp-user
[Gimp-user] Histogram in only a selected region?
I'm using Gimp v2.0.1. I couldn't find any info on this, so I'm thinking I can't do but I thought I would ask anyway. Many tools operate only on the selected region. It seems Histogram is one that doesn't and that it always operates on the entire image. Is there an easy way to have it operate only on a selected region? The best I could quickly come up with was to crop the region of interest (which meant undoing the crop and then cropping the next area and so on). It was a little embarrassing to not find a way to do this since my boss does this routinely with Photoshop (and here I am telling him how great Gimp is). Thanks in advance for any ideas.

[Gimp-user] Film emulation.
I was wondering is anyone has created preset's to emulate the color curves/seturation levels of specific films. I would like to take pictures from my digital camera, which seems to have pretty normal color values, and have a filter that would make the image have the color values if it was shot with Fuji Velvia 50 or the now discontinued Kodak Royal Gold 25. Or even some of the warm or cold tone black and white films. Thanks, -Adam ___ Gimp-user mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.xcf.berkeley.edu/mailman/listinfo/gimp-user
