Re: [Gimp-user] Help recovering a bad .xcf file
I've one more observation to add to this. BIG FAT DISCLAMER: Please, _PLEASE_ don't turn this into just another flame war. Anyway, I don't know if it's just me or not, but Gimp's extremely stable on Linux. I've seen it crash maybe two or three times in past year, and it certainly never crashed when saving images... ever. So, it's another option for those that are having stability issues with Gimp. I first noticed this difference when I was told by a windows user about performance issues with Gimp on Windows, and I installed it at work to see what it was about. And it is quite different, especially comparing the antiquated Windows XP to latest Linux distros in 64-bit incarnations. I myself run Arch Linux, 64-bit version, with Gimp 2.6.8 (in fact the modified version called Painters Studio), and stability- or performance-wize, I've got nothing to complain about, and have certainly never lost any work.

I used to use a really old, backwoods photo editor and it automatically made a backup file and autosaved it every ten minutes. What you really need for your case is not an auto-backup feature, but atomic save operations. Instead of writing over the existing file when you save, GIMP should write to a temporary file in the target directory. And only if it succeeds in writing this file completely should it move the temporary file over the existing file. That way you wouldn't have lost your file completely. Please feel free to open a bug report for this. Better way would be to do what most text editors do.

Here is a patch for said issue (most noticeable when rounding is 100% (trying to make a pill) http://blog.bloke.com/2010/05/patch-for-gimp-select-rounded-rectangle/ The most straightforward way to create a pixel-perfect rounded rectangle with border I can think of is to use Inkscape (http://www.inkscape.org/) and import the SVG into Gimp. You get perfect control over the rounding and border weight + the rasterization of the SVG eliminates the jaggedness. Another way I can think of is to convert the rounded selection to path, stroke it to create the border. This produces acceptable results, but I've noticed some weird artifacts. -- Branko Vukelić bg.bra...@gmail.com stu...@brankovukelic.com Check out my blog: http://www.brankovukelic.com/ Check out my portfolio: http://www.flickr.com/photos/foxbunny/ Registered Linux user #438078 (http://counter.li.org/) I hang out on identi.ca: http://identi.ca/foxbunny Gimp Brushmakers Guild http://bit.ly/gbg-group ___ Gimp-user mailing list Gimp-user@lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU https://lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU/mailman/listinfo/gimp-user

That means it's impossible to write a Script-Fu for it (unless you are *really* ambitious) and also that you can't use GIMP's gradients to fill the border or the background of the box.

Not as long as you can do it. :) Most FLOSS workflows do require a certain amount of dedication, imo. -- Branko Vukelić bg.bra...@gmail.com stu...@brankovukelic.com Check out my blog: http://www.brankovukelic.com/ Check out my portfolio: http://www.flickr.com/photos/foxbunny/ Registered Linux user #438078 (http://counter.li.org/) I hang out on identi.ca: http://identi.ca/foxbunny Gimp Brushmakers Guild http://bit.ly/gbg-group ___ Gimp-user mailing list Gimp-user@lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU https://lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU/mailman/listinfo/gimp-user

Re: [Gimp-user] [SPAM] - Re: looking for binary software to install - Email found in subject
John, If you want to resize the background layer without affecting other layers, I think you won't find a software package that does that. To resize all layers, though: Image - Scale image To resize only the background, the best you can do, I think is to paste background layer in another image, and use the option above to scale that. Then paste it back into the original image, and remove the original background layer (if you don't need it anymore).

[Gimp-user] Happy easter
Happy Easter to all you Christian Gimpers. We have released Gimp Studio 1.5 for Arch Linux today. We've updated to GPS 1.4 (thanks Ramon for letting us include it), included a few more plugins (colortemp, whitepoint) added latest SVN FX Foundry scripts, David Revoy's ChaosEvolution brush pack, merged Ramon's and David's tool presets, etc. Everyone using Arch Linux can follow the install instructions[1] to get it working. If anyone not using Arch Linux would like to join us and package Gimp Studio for other platforms, please contact me. Everyone else, you can get the addons we've included on our Google Code page[2]. Note that the project is _not_ hosted on Google Code. Just the big files. The project itself is hosted on codaset[3]. Again, happy holidays.

Re: [Gimp-user] What final RGB adjustments before CMYK print?

Anyway, I'm wondering if anyone can recommend modification I should make to my images before sending them to the printer. I've considered simply brightening the image, but I'm thinking that there might be a smarter adjustment to make. Most CMYK printers (if you mean inkjets and lasers) are actually RGB printers. So, you can get the most accurate results using a calibrated monitor, Gimp's color management in Color manged display mode, and sRGB profile for your image. You can get better results by calibrating your printer, though. -- Branko Vukelić Check out my blog: http://www.brankovukelic.com/ Check out my portfolio: http://www.flickr.com/photos/foxbunny/ ___ Gimp-user mailing list Gimp-user@lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU https://lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU/mailman/listinfo/gimp-user
[Gimp-user] tool-options directory
Hi, As part of Gimp Studio[1], we are now distributing GPS 1.4. It includes (among other niceties) a directory called tool-options. We have tried copying this directory to ``/usr/share/gimp/2.0/tool-options``, but Gimp doesn't pick it up, and no presets are present after installation. For now we are warning users to copy these options to their home directory, but we thought it would be nicer if Gimp would pick it up from one of its default locations. Does anyone know where else we could place this directory so users do not have to copy them themselves?
