Re: [Gimp-user] RPM vs. Compiling from source

2001-05-17 Thread Jeff Sheffield

I have always had the best luck with the
Helix Code install..

Although I have installed from sources and rom rpm's 

as for the PPRO
if you build from source then its a non factor
as the compiler will do the correct thing for your hardware

if you decide to install from rpm then 
I think you will want to get the i586 or i686
although i386 should work.

 I just inherited a 200Mhz Pentium Pro machine.  It will be my

 RedHat 6.2 from a Pentium II machine to the PPRO, and all is well.
 
 I have 2 stupid questions:
 
 1.  Should I install gimp from a binary 'i386.rpm' or should I compile
 from sources?
 
 2.  If compiling from sources, how do I tell the compiler (or should I)
 to optimize for the PPRO?
 
 Thanks...

Re: [Gimp-user] changing background colours

2001-05-14 Thread Jeff Sheffield

  What are the advantages of RGB vs. indexed? I'm afraid I know nothing
  about this. 
 You can use filters on RGB :)
also index color (gif files) only have a maximum of 256 colors in the image, this is 
configurable.
the-part-I-am-about-to-get-wrong
rgb colors have 16,000+ colors.
I think this varies between file formats and saving parameters (but way more than 256 
;).

 Always convert any images you're working with to rgb before touching them,
 tweak away then save back to indexed if need be (i.e. for GIFs)

Re: [Gimp-user] script-fu treatment of TIF images

2001-05-11 Thread Jeff Sheffield

look at http://www.libtiff.org/
http://www.imagemagick.org/
I have used PerlMagick to rotate and
scale tiff images but I suspect you
will find what you need in image magicks
convert program.

   Before I dig deeply into the world of script-fu, I wonder if
 someone can answer a question that (so far) is not treated in
 any of the things I've read. I want to write a script that
 performs to following task on a color-indexed TIF file:
 
  index --- RGB
  decompose
  Save G channel to a FITS image
 
 My question: Surely such a task is scriptable, but can I then
  apply such a script to a set 300 local tif files?
  Must I run gimp manually or is there a way to run
  such a script from the command line and by-pass the
  GUI altogether?
 
 Thanks,
