 Woah now.  Where did this come from?  Did I miss something? 
  Personally, I've found your (Carol's) postings to the list quite
  helpful at times. I would think it would be a great loss to not
  have her on the list.
 As another relative newcomer to the list, I'll echo those sentiments.

Ditto here too!  I just joined, and then saw that message and was
concerned...Carol, did somebody hassle you about your efforts to set up
a Wiki for Gimp?  You sounded very upset in your letter.

I took a look at the Wiki. Looks neat! I would recommend ignoring the
critics of your project for now -- I think the Wiki is a good idea since
it makes it so easy for people to add their own hints and tips. It's not
replacing or blocking any pre-existing tutorials to my knowledge, so I
don't see why anyone would complain...but, who knows?  There are some
crazy types out there in Cyberland. Disasters for new users?  *blinks*
It's a graphics program...not a plane's autopilot program (although,
with scripting...who knows...?). I have trouble imagining anything worse
than someone closing their picture without saving their work happening.
If that's a disaster in their lives...well, I envy 'em. If that was the
worst thing to happen to me in a day, I'd be psyched. ;)

I don't really know you yet...I've only been on this list for a week or
so, but I can already tell that you really care about Gimp and want it
to succeed. So, I for one would like you stay aboard.  And, Don't let
the turkeys get you down as they say. :)
*hugs*

[Gimp-user] 'Cutout' filter for Gimp?

2003-06-18 Thread Dee Dreslough
Hi Everyone!

I'm new to the list, but I've been using gimp exclusively now for
several months, and I love it.

The one feature I used to have with photoshop but haven't yet found with
Gimp is a filter called (I might be mis-remembering) Cutout.

It was great for taking my black and white sketches and smoothing them
out to make them look more vector-drawn, as well as filling in any
missed spots. Here's an example:

Before Cutout: http://www.dreslough.com/main/latest/FallGirlandDog-2.png
After Cutout: http://www.dreslough.com/main/latest/FallGirlandDog2.png

What's the equivalent filter for this in Gimp? (I'm sure there is
one...there seems to be an equivalent for everything else I've needed so
far... ;) )
