Re: [Gimp-user] move brushes between machines
Patrick, The old machine has gimp 2.6.8, the new one is 2.6.11. And I'm a little over my head here. I assume scp/mc/dolphin/krusader/ is not the actual command but rather some suggested options. so maybe something like, from old machine scp ~/.gimp-2.6/brushes no, that would copy the file onto itself... I guess I'm more than a little over my head. But you've told me where they are and that's a good first step. H.

Re: [Gimp-user] GIMP plugin for faking a newspaper frontpage image
I found this question to be quite interesting, as I have also tried to do this.

It could be done with a displacement map fairly easily, or possibly the curve bend tool. Yep. Like this? http://i41.tinypic.com/2gt1yxh.png I made this entire thing in about 45 mins from scratch, but if obv. you didn't want to paint a tree, design a newspaper, etc you could probably do it faster. To get the skew, I used the displacement map with a perfectly horizontal black/white gradient layer, then perspective distort, then rotate. For realism you'd have more variations with the gradient layer, and the pixellation would be solved if you had a bigger starting resolution. No 3D model.

[Gimp-user] giimp printing incorrectly

Re: [Gimp-user] make a brush take on fg color
Thank you Saul for an excellent step-by-step response. I learned a lot from your explanations. Helen On Fri, Feb 19, 2010 at 11:40 PM, saulgo...@flashingtwelve.brickfilms.comwrote: Quoting Helen etter...@gmail.com: In order to create a gimp brush, I created a file, drew the design, did select all copy paste as new brush. At this point, there are two possibilities for how the created brush will behave: 1) it will either be a fixed-color brush which can consist of millions of different colors, but the colors can not be changed; or 2) it will be a single-color brush which uses the active FG color. The second type of brush will only be created if your source image is in GRAYSCALE mode and has no alpha channel. If these two conditions are true then any black pixels in the brush will paint in the active FG color, while white pixels will be painted transparently (i.e., not painted). More precisely, darker shades of gray are painted using the FG color with increasing opacity level. The first type of brush will use exactly the color and opacity of the original image while painting. The brush only paints white (my fg color when I created the file). I've tried creating the file in RGB and have tried Grayscale. Can you advise me how to edit this brush to make it take on the foreground colour? Your statement suggests that you created your brush by putting white pixels on a transparent layer (ie., one with an alpha channel). The existence of the alpha channel causes your brush to be of the fixed color type. What you want to do: . Colors-Invert -- change the white pixels to black . Set BG color to white . Layer-Transparency-Remove Alpha Channel -- change the transparent pixels to white . Image-Mode-Grayscale Of course, none of this is necessary if you start out editing your brush with a black FG and white BG on a flattened image. After you have created your design in this manner, your process of select all copy paste as new brush should produce the result you desire. ___ Gimp-user mailing list Gimp-user@lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU https://lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU/mailman/listinfo/gimp-user -- Helen Etters using Linux, using openSUSE11.0 ___ Gimp-user mailing list Gimp-user@lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU https://lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU/mailman/listinfo/gimp-user

[Gimp-user] Will Gimp support bamboo?
Following the advice of several on this list, I bought the Wacom brand, Will SuSE11 support Bamboo? I bought the medium Bamboo, the $130 model,but I don't see a model number. I go to YAST, install hardware, tablet properties, Wacom, and then it opens up to give me four Wacom choises: Graphire serial or usb, and Intuos serial and usb. There is no option for Bamboo. Should I chose one of those? Also, do I need the installation disks? The disks say for mac or windows (of course).

Re: [Gimp-user] delete a file
With all due respect and admiration to the GIMP developers, I do believe that the inability to at least rename a file from the camera's default of dsc00405 to something meaningful is a serious impediment to convenient use of the GIMP. Once I have made some color adjustments, and maybe some cropping, etc., I will decide whether I want to keep the photo or whether it is not worth keeping. It's a real inconvenience to have to go into Konqueror (e.g .) to do the simple task of renaming it.

[Gimp-user] sizing photos
I see that this issue has already been addressed, at least peripherally, but I can't seem to get it. Can someone explain in explicit -- even exquisite -- detail? I have a photo from Olympus Camedia C-5000. It is, of course, huge -- tremendous. Usually something like 35 by, oh, maybe 26. I want a (for example) 8 x 10 inch print. Not sure how much you need to know, but I'm using Gimp 2.2.2 Linux, SuSE 9.2 HP Deskjet 5550 How do I take this hugh image and give it a size that will print and then fit into a standard frame, such as 5 x 7 (inches) or 8 x 10 (inches) ?

[Gimp-user] removing lines from scanned image
I had hoped someone would respond to Laszio's Q of about 5 days ago, because I have a similar Q. In order to sign my printed photographs, I scanned my signature onto a lined sheet of white paper. Adding this to a photo shows the white paper background as well as the black signature. Does anyone know how Gimp can take just the signature, without the line or the white background?
