Re: [Gimp-user] remove background
Well, you've got your work cut out for you on the frizzy hair guys, but I've had some success using Filters-Colors-Decompose for frizzy haired individuals. Go with RGB separation. I then pick the layer with the best contrast between the hair and the background and massage that into a mask. The rest of the person can be cut out fairly cleanly using paths (and then path to selection once path is created). Once again, stick this into your mask. On non-frizzy haired individuals (ex. M4110016.JPG), I'd go paths all the way. Obviously, I'm leaving out a lot of the step details, but let us know if/where you get stuck if you need more explanation.

Re: [Gimp-user] Trouble with layers from psd
One of the admins at my work purportedly uses Macormedia's Fireworks for raster image editing. He told me that the default file format is png! I called him a bold faced lier, but he swears up and down that png is the default format. I asked him about layers, and he said the pngs that Fireworks saves can DO LAYERS. I haven't seen it firsthand... is there any truth to this!? And getting back to an earlier debate (file format 'lock-in' / divide and conquer), I've read somewhere that MS Word stole the word processing scene back in the day by: 1) implementing a damn near perfect WordPerfect (word pro leader at the time?) import filter but (in)conveniently lacked any WordPerfect output filter. 2) offering Word inexpensively For what it's worth, I think the Gimp would excel and enlighten if it had the best psd import AND export filter as possible. But I've learned to live with the current state of the psd filter at work. I use Gimp for 95% of my work (web devel/print work), and the main print guy uses PS for everything. The times when our work overlaps, I can conveniently save to psd for him from the Gimp if layers are an issue, and that has been a decent working solution for the 2+ years I've been at my current employment. Implementing the import/export of a dynamic text layer from psd would be a nice addition though. Eric P. On Wed, Feb 09, 2005 at 09:10:14PM -0200, Joao S. O. Bueno Calligaris wrote: Hi. So.

Re: [Gimp-user] Windows compilation of RawPhoto 0.7
Hi, First off, thanks for writing this plug-in. There's some cool RAW options in the plugin that I was never knew about when converting RAW images. Basically, it works for me on Win2000 Pro at work w/the static version of your plugin. I need to try the dynamic one again. I didn't have dcraw installed at the time I tried the dynamically linked binary (didn't know I needed dcraw installed - maybe add that to your install instructions and where to copy the dcraw binary in Windows?) Two things: 1. Should the top 5 check boxes be radio buttons so only one can be selected? I selected all for shits 'n giggles and saw several conflicting flags being passed to dcraw. 2. It seems your plugin is trying to open any file that Gimp tries to open regardless of extension. Here's a screen: http://epierce.freeshell.org/multimedia/dcraw.png On the whole, I'm pleased to be using your plugin/dcraw. Now I can removed the hundreds of megabytes of software that accompanied our camera (Canon G5). Thanks and I'll report back again, Eric P. On Sun, Aug 29, 2004 at 06:00:36PM -0400, Matthew H.

Re: [Gimp-user] Re: Hi-Res Screen Captures
Exactly. What you're after isn't possible. Screen shots are pixelated in print. To get your 300dpi, scale the image, but use 'None' for interpolation type. That'll maintain the pixely look, but it won't be some smeared, blurry looking screenshot. It'll be crisp. The only way you'd get what you want is if all of Gimp's icons were vector based (then you could scale to your hearts delight.) Eric Hi... I think it a conceptual error wanting 300DPI screenshots - Maybe not - but wait second - the GIMP interface is designed to be displayed at typical monitor resolutions - from 72 to 96 dpi. On the other hand, a monitor will have 15'' to 17'' inhes, and your print out of a screenshot should be a few inches accross - so the 1000 pixels wide, 15 inch at 96 dpi screenshot would make for a 5 inch wide ate 300dpi screenshot - no matter. If you do intend to actually make printouts of 15'', 17'' in paper, nonetheless, a real world screen shot will do - the interface text may appear aliased or blurred in a good quality printing - but hey---that's how it looks like on the screen. :-) And on top of that, you may still try to increase the quality of a screenshot scaled up to 3000 pixels using the Gimp itself, if there is the need. One last thing - if you actually can find a 3000 pixel screenshot, the interface - at least the icons - will appear proportionally small - you won't be able to achieve better icons than from a 1024x768 screenshot. Anyway, you may be planning something different, that I had not grasped at all. But if you are after 300dpi screenshots just because the clerk at your printshop told you so, the way to go is to scale up a plain screenshot. regards, JS -- On Thursday 06 May 2004 08:47, [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Can anyone direct me to a place on the web where I can find 150PPI or 300PPI (prefer 300PPI) GIMP screen shots from all the major platforms...

Re: [Gimp-user] Clipping Path
Joao, Clipping Paths are a new concept to me too. First let me explain a tad... For page layout work, at work we use (don't laugh) PageMaker. Me and the other guy recently learned that we could import raster images w/transparency and actually have it display properly in PageMaker. We also learned that the tif must have a clipping path. Basically, it's a path with a special designation as a 'clipping path' and everything inside the path will show, and everything outside the clipping path is transparent. There's a little rivalry at work because my colleage uses Photoshop while I use The Gimp. As it would be, PS could do a clipping path, but I couldn't see that Gimp could. In PS, you bring up the context menu with the paths menu up and designate which path will be the 'clipping path'. That's it. I don't know about the internals of the tif file, or if it's even a recognized spec in tif. I can throw up an image somewhere if anyone is curious to check it out. At work I'd like us both to drop Windows all together and go with Scribus/Gimp, but that might not happen anytime soon.

Re: Dynamic Shortcuts - was Re: [Gimp-user] GIMP at COMDEX
You are a Gimp 'power user' and you are probably a good keyboard player, Basically, there are people who utilize mnemonic use and there are those who don't. It's nothing to do with the Gimp. ALT-L,C,C sounds not like easy Yeah, that does look a little rough out of context. However, as you type 'ALT-L,C,C' you will think 'Alt-L(evels)-C(olors)-C(urves)' as you watch the menus pop by. After a while, mnemonic combinations becomes an unconscious flick of the wrist as you become particularily comfortable with them. And there's a logic to it - a logic in how you 'locate' any given menu item within the menu tree. People who don't use mnemonics remind me of people who never learned to touch type. They get the job done, but it's inefficient as hell. Same goes for those who don't use mnemonics - once your hand leaves the keyboard to grab for the mouse, you lose your momentum. Granted you could argue that the Gimp is mouse intensive. And obviously there are some things you simply must use the mouse for, but some people would be surprised just how much (and how quickly) you can get work done in the Gimp by extreme keyboard utilization. (wow... that could be a new X Game..) Then three letters to memorize for each function to call it's not easy. I wouldn't recommend using mnemonics for each function either. I'd keyboard shortcut as much as possible. The few stragglers are where mnemonics step in to save the day. If you use keyboard shortcuts extensively, then the rest of the menu functions you need to get to can be handled competently by mnemonics. Shit, did I say too much?

Re: [Gimp-user] pixelate question
JB, Hmm... that didn't seem to work. Maybe I screwed something up. Was that supposed to gradually pixelate each layer more than the next? I'm using Gimp-win (I'm at work). Each layer was equally pixelized the same amount. Anyway, I'm not working on several layers. Just one layer - a photo of people. I want it to gradually (from right to left) go from no pixelation to slight pixelation, and then larger and larger pixelation so there would be nice chunky squares on the left side.

[Gimp-user] Mneumonics fighting dynamic shortcuts on 1.3.20
I think I found a little problem with assigning shortcuts on 1.3.20. Try this: On an image window, click the View drop down menu. Now place the cursor over an item - I did Shrink Wrap. Now I type f to assign it as a shortcut key to Shrink Wrap, but before the shortcut saves, the Display Filters windows (which has f as a mneumonic) comes up, and the keyboard shortcut is never assigned. I can edit the 'menurc' file and set it there, but I'd venture a guess that this won't work for any other similar situations (could be quite a few). Otherwise, 1.3.20 rocks my world.

Re: [Gimp-user] moving around a selection
Hold down the Alt key, then move the selection frame.

Does anyone know a way to reassign this in IceWM? I asked this a while ago on the IceWM list, but didn't receive a reply. Thanks, Eric Pierce (not sure of the details for KDE).

[Gimp-user] Fnord contest, etc. WAS Simple Radial Lines
Not at all, Eric! I like my script, mostly because I can always write others to perform like tasks. Where did you learn how to write ps like that? I'd love to learn a little bit myself. Are there any good websites or books that you recommend? Have you ever messed around with xml/svg scripting? I'd like to get into that as well. Too bad it's not widely supported in common browsers. But... I am just AMAZED by the grid + polar_coord trick. Yeah, that one works great too. A nice internal method for pulling off the radial lines. I bet we could just create a GIMP PUZZLE CONTEST . The most incredible, and yet feasible, way to draw fnord in the GIMP wins. Hey, good idea! (just learned what 'fnord' is or isn't?) And then each winner's technique could be added to a cool little Fnord repository of short little tutorials (or even script-fu). If I can muster up some time, we could propose something along these lines to the world. I could even host it on my webspace or maybe gimp.org would let us host it there. (And any postscript would be left out of such a contest - it's not made with the GIMP after all) Does photoshop have got an easier way to draw these Simple Radial Lines ? I don't know. I work with a guy who uses Photoshop, and when I described wanting to make some radial lines for an ad, he thought there might be a way in Photoshop, but I beat him to the punch w/your script. I remember using Deluxe Paint, in DOS - and there, there was a symetric mode one could enable - every stroke was mirrored N times around a common center, or in tiles, and this drawing could be made using that. Actually, Deluxe Paint, for simple it was, had some features that are not found around in any other program. Hmm... could be a cool plug-in for Gimp. I wish I knew C.

Re: [Gimp-user] How to move selection ONLY!?!
What window manager are you using? I use IceWM, and that steals the alt-click combo, so I can't use it. Fortunately, ctrl-alt-click works. Try that. Eric Pierce GIMP user manual says: Note: To move a selection without making it float, you have to select the Move tool and press the Alt key as you drag the (empty) selection to another position. If you try to use the Move tool on a non-floating selection without pressing the Alt key, you will just move the entire layer or background. I just can't make it happen. I want to make a selection and then move it to the right plase WITHOUT moving it's contents or any part of image. Just the selection. Like in PhotoShop...

Re: [Gimp-user] Simple Radial Lines
That's it! Very cool solution.
As soon as you mentioned ps I started wondering if Sodipodi (or some other
vector dealy) could pull this trick off, but your code is perfect.
Manipulable and everything is rendered automatically.
Would make for a nice plug-in I imagine.
Thanks again!

Could not think of an easy way using the GIMP.
Actually, the only more or less easy way I could think off is using
a graphic turtle I am making in GIMP-Python.
Since that would be complicated I made an extra-gimp solution for you.
An Postscript Snippet.
Just paste the following postscript code in a plain text file, which
name ends in .ps , edit the number of rays to the desired one,
and them just open it as an image in the GIMP.
Enjoy it!
