[Gimp-user] libgimp-perl (2.0.dfsg+2.2pre1.dfsg-5) .deb packages
Linux Mint 11 "Katya" based on Ubuntu 11.04 "Natty Narwhal" no longer provides the libgimp-perl package required to equip The Gimp with such useful, ahem, *essential* functions as "Center Layer" and "Add Glow". http://packages.debian.org/lenny/libgimp-perl Package: libgimp-perl (2.0.dfsg+2.2pre1.dfsg-5) Perl support and plugins for The GIMP The Gimp module includes the Perl modules necessary to write Perl-based plugins for The GIMP. It includes several plugins with various useful features. Search the page for "Download libgimp-perl" and select your architecture to access the download page and link. I can confirm the libgimp-perl package for i386 provided here installs flawlessly under Linux Mint 11 using the GDebi Package Installer. Applying the "Center Layer" and/or "Add Glow" features, however, results in the same ugly error messages that have been present for several years now - even though the plugins appear to work properly despite them.

[Gimp-user] Where Is libgimp-perl?
Hi there. I just upgraded from Linux Mint 7 to Linux Mint 11 "Katya" (based on Ubuntu 11.04 "Natty Narwhal"). I fired up The Gimp and could not find two of my most-used plugins: "Center Layer" and "Add Glow". This happened to me in 2005 and I learned to install "libgimp-perl" to get them. This time, however, "libgimp-perl" appears to have been labeled "obsolete" and is no longer available in the Ubuntu repositories. How do I get my "Center Layer" and "Add Glow" plugins back with libgimp-perl no longer available?

Ken, If at all possible, use any other program to convert your BMP images to PNG format. You can think of PNG as being "losslessly compressed BMP". Not only will you most likely solve your problem with The Gimp not being able to open your files, you will also reduce the filesize of each image by approximately 35% without losing any quality. To my knowledge, there is zero advantage to storing/keeping images in BMP format, thanks to PNG.

Re: [Gimp-user] Square selection fill round ?????
> I want to copy a sample of the concrete in my sidsewalk and > paste it into a circle. > > how do i get that square selection to fill up the round > selection??? My first suggestion without knowing more specifics about your project, would be: 1) Apply Filters->Map->Make Seamless to the sidewalk image 2) Save the result to your patterns directory using a .pat extension 3) Select it in the "Bucket Fill" tool options to make it your current pattern 4) Check "Fill whole selection" in the "Affected Area" portion of the "Bucket Fill" tool options. 5) Fill the circular region in your image with your tiled sidewalk pattern I've not actually *tried* this but based on my experience it seems to be a practical solution in theory. Alternatively, especially if tiling your sidewalk image turns out to be not so good of an idea, you can try this: 1) Use File->Open As Layers to bring your sidewalk image into your XCF project as a new layer. 2) Place the sidewalk layer *behind* the layer containing the area into which you're trying to paste it. 3) Cut a hole in the upper layer to allow the sidewalk layer to show through. You may or may not want to feather the edges of your selection as you do this. Alternatively, instead of cutting a hole in the upper layer you can leave that layer uncut and merely apply a layer mask to it so that the sidewalk shows through a black or white circular area in the mask (depending on which kind of mask you've used). Let us know how it goes. Myke ___ Gimp-user mailing list Gimp-user@lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU https://lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU/mailman/listinfo/gimp-user

[Gimp-user] "Add Glow" and "Center Layer"
Hello All, I've just joined this list. This is my first post to it. I have been a happy GIMPer since 2000 until this year. After Red Hat ditched me 2 years ago, I switched to Mandrake 8.2 and didn't like it. So this year I switched to SuSE 9.2 Pro and I like it a *lot* - except for the fact that the GIMP "upgrade" which comes with my distribution no longer includes my two long-time, most-used features: "Filters->Render->Add Glow" and "Layers->Center Layer". Where have these gone and how do I get them back? Especially "Add Glow"... I *require* that one!
