  3. A Distort tool seems to be missing in Gimp. Correct me if I am wrong.

I think you might be looking for the Interactive Warp tool.

Filters  Distorts  IWarp

The interface is not what you are used to but you'll find it quite capable
once you learn how it works.

Re: [Gimp-user] Disk Based TIFF Image Viewer and Printer

So, any other ideas out there?  As usual, I'm desperate!  All suggestions
greatly appreciated.  Thanks in advance for any help.


To be quite honest I don't think you'll be able to pull this one off.  I 
suggest buying some cardboard mailing tubes and printing all the images 
and sending out the prints.  Sometimes analog is still better than digital.

If you're absolutely positively dead set on sending out a disk, I think 
Macromedia makes something that can drive a slide show from a CD.  No 
telling if it can handle your giant images however.

I would rely on paper.  If someone sent me a CD that crashed my computer 
I would not hire them for anything.  (and it has happened to me and I 
did NOT hire the guys)

If you really want to impress go to a print shop that has one of those 
large format ink-jet printers and print out gigantic banners.  Send'em 
scrolls!

Re: [Gimp-user] TIFF File Resolution Change

2003-01-09 Thread Jon Winters

I think I found it over on the ImageMagick user list...

Try this:

mogrify -density 96 foo.tiff

Instead of 96 use whatever you want the resolution to be.

Good luck!

Whenever I'm forced to use a windows machine the first thing I do is 
install the Gimp, wget (its available for windows), and all of the 
ImageMagick tools.

Makes your windows experience a much more plesant one.  :-)

Wget for windows is identical to the linux version except for the man 
page is just a readme.txt file.

I've never seen Gimp tutorials in PDF format.  You might want to poke 
around freshmeat.net or sourceforge to find a PDF printing filter.  You 
could load an HTML tutorial in your browser and print to PDF and then 
do what you please as long as you don't violate the copyright of the web 
author.

Why the PDF format??

Re: [Gimp-user] pattern tool help

 I have been trying to figure out the pattern tool, but cannot get it to
 work.  Can anyone provide me with a simple, repeatable procedure that I can
 attempt that will allow me to see how patterns is supposed to work?

Select a pattern in your tool box or from the pattern palette.

Double click on the bucket fill tool and adjust its properties to 
pattern fill (FG Color Fill is the default)

Now just click on the area of your image you want to fill with the 
pattern and it should fill.

Adjust the threshold for more or less coverage.

Enjoy!

Re: [Gimp-user] what is dpi, ppi and lpi

2002-04-12 Thread Jon Winters

 Hi,
  Can anyone tell me the difference between dpi, ppi and
 lpi ? If my intention is to print a picture measuring
 8x10, at what resolution should I scan ?

dpi = dots per inch
ppi = pixels per inch
lpi = lines per inch

to know the minimum you need to scan you'll need to know what sort of dpi
your printer is capable of printing.

Lets say its an ink-jet that'll handle 1000dpi  To print an 8x10 without
having to scale the image up or down to make it fit you'll need to scan...

8000 x 10,000 pixels!

Pretty easy eh?

Depending on the software you're printing with you might be able to get a
decent print from less.  If you're going to be retouching the scan you
might want to scan at double or triple the resolution of your printer so
you can make really fine corrections and then scale the image down to the
maximum size your printer can handle right before you print.

Enjoy!

Image Magick is available for just about every popular OS out there as
well as some less popular operating systems.

Its something I install on _every_ computer I operate.

 it don't know the differences, however.  with GIMP it is a simple case
 of getting the separate stuff, as is outlined here (for WinGIMP):

Yep... its all described there... Read The Fine Manual!  ;-)

Last I checked I don't think it mentioned that you need to delete the
tiff-nolzw.exe before the lzw enabled plugins would work.

Open the image in Gimp

right mouse click and...

Select  By Color...

then click on the color you want to select and go to town!
