Re: [Gimp-user] Urban Acid script (buggy)
Following is my Urban Acid Script-Fu program. It attempts to simulate the famous Photoshop Urban Acid action, which dramatically alters the color curves. The program worked well in GIMP 2.2, but is buggy in v2.4. I am having the following problems: * The first time, it runs but the working layer shows no difference. Indeed, even the mode is not set to overlay. * The second time executed, not seems to happen. Not even a copy layer is created. * GIMP seems to increasingly act weird after that. Scripts may or may not run. The entire experience looks like a memory over run. I am now running GIMP 2.4.1 under Windows, but I saw the same thing in 2.4under Windows and also Ubuntu (Gutsy Gibbon). Using Ubuntu-7.4 Gimp-2.2 the script works fine Running on Gimp-2.4 throws the following error Error while executing (urban-acid 1 2) Error: eval: unbound variable: set-pt But I am not up with Script-fu so will leave debugging to others Owen ___ Gimp-user mailing list Gimp-user@lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU https://lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU/mailman/listinfo/gimp-user

SIOD-based Script-fu would permit a statement such as (set! x 4) even if 'x' had not been declared -- 'x' would be defined automatically to be a global variable. The new Script-fu protects against this situation and the programmer must declare the variable first. The offending script would result in an error message stating, Error: set!: unbound variable: x.

Re: [Gimp-user] compiling woes
I am attempting to compile 2.4 on a fresh Slackware 12.0 install. When I run ./configure, I get a message at the end about needing pygtk, but I have pygtk installed and the version number is high enough. Do I need some kind of development headers and if so, where do I get them? You will need the development package. Called python-gtk-dev on this Ubuntu system, can't help with slackware nomenclature Owen ___ Gimp-user mailing list Gimp-user@lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU https://lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU/mailman/listinfo/gimp-user
Re: [Gimp-user] Pngs, jpgs, tifs, etc.,
i too have found myself using pngs a lot more than jpgs and for the same reason. the image came in as a jpg though, i went ahead and worked with it as a jpg. however, i too would have preferred tackling it as a png file. my absolute first choice would be a tif but it was given in the problem that a tif was out. I think as a rule of thumb, that you should always work in the native format of your program, so if you are using the Gimp, a. Save the image in the xcf format b. Do all your work in the xcf format c. When finished, save in appropriate format for publication Owen ___ Gimp-user mailing list Gimp-user@lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU https://lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU/mailman/listinfo/gimp-user
Re: [Gimp-user] floating selection
When I go to crop something, Gimp crops it very nicely but, unlike, PS, the image is then impossible to do anything else with as I now have a floating layer. Strange! When I do a Image-Crop, it just gives me a new image, using 2.2.13 Image-Crop to Selection in 2.4rc2 Owen ___ Gimp-user mailing list Gimp-user@lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU https://lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU/mailman/listinfo/gimp-user
Re: [Gimp-user] Fwd: Opening pictures taken with an Olympus E-510 fails every time
Yes, I have got the same answer from another forum as well. I have libexif 0.6.13 installed. It's the version that is available in one of the repositories when Ubuntu 7.04 is just installed. I use the automatic update all the time, and so far there has not been an update for that file. So I downloaded libexif 0.6.16, since someone said that he fixed his problem (the same as mine) with that file after compiling and installing it manually. I am a newbie of compiling so I am not sure if I was doing everything I should, because efter installing it, the same problem persisted. I downloaded an archive which I unpacked in a folder in my home folder. Then I opened a terminal, went to that folder, which contained files like INSTALL (where I could read about how to install), configure and a lot of other files. Then I followed the instructions: ./configure make make install There was a lot of permission denied in the last step, so I tried sudo make install which seemed to work. The problem is that it seems like I still have the old version. The images still can't be loaded, for the same reason as before. So right now I don't know what went wrong. Do I still have the old version? Do I have the new version, but need an even newer one? Do I have both versions so I need to make GIMP use the new one rather than the old one? As I said, I am a hopeless beginner so far... Johnny Rosenberg 2007/9/24, Sven Neumann [EMAIL PROTECTED]: Hi, most probably you are experiencing problems with the EXIF data in your images. Please make sure that you are using the latest released versions of libexif and GIMP. There have been many bug fixes recently, in particular for images from Olympus cameras. Hi, I don't want to put you off, but at 'newbie' level, you might be in trouble. Where did you install the libexif libraries? The default normally is /usr/local so you will no doubt have a /usr/local/lib/pkgconfig/libexif.pc A short and meaningless answer is that You should rebuild Gimp from source and use the EXIF_LIBS flags to pick up the new libexif library, or export your PKG_CONFIG variable to read /usr/local/lib first. However, before you build from source, you will need to install a number of development files, all of which are on the Ubuntu distro. If you are persistent, you will win, but if there is a new Ubuntu coming out next month, it might be quicker to see what goodies it holds.

Re: [Gimp-user] can someone check this doc for me?
hi I just wrote a doc on saving images for the web using gimp. I was wondering if anyone could read it and send me feedback? http://en.flossmanuals.net/bin/view/Gimp/OptimisingImagesForWeb In 2.4 the properties are found at Image-Image-Image properties which is a change from the 2.2.x Image-View-Info window Owen ___ Gimp-user mailing list Gimp-user@lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU https://lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU/mailman/listinfo/gimp-user

Re: [Gimp-user] cant open psd files
Hi: Im haveing some compatibility issues with gimp and psd files. The files were created on a OSX Machine with Photoshop - do not know the version. I have tried opening them with Debian and Gimp 2.2.13 and openSUSE 10.2 with Gimp (what ever the version is in the std repo) I have also gained access to a Windows machine and Photoshop CS3 and have opened the psds and resaved them ensuring the maximum compatibility option was selected. Every time and on each machine i get Error: Can't convert PSD mode to GIMP base imagetype any brilliant insights? (im sure there are many, how about insights this error :D ) http://gug.sunsite.dk/forum/?threadid=4007PHPSESSID=9c94a4d3d0c11a77 is a response to the same question by Sven. quote The image mode (probably CMYK) is not supported by GIMP. Thus the image cannot be imported. /quote Perhaps that helps? Owen ___ Gimp-user mailing list Gimp-user@lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU https://lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU/mailman/listinfo/gimp-user
Re: [Gimp-user] Gaussian Blur
What is the difference between IIR and RLE in Gaussian Blur? Wich should be used in wich context? See http://docs.gimp.org/en/plug-in-gauss.html Blur Method IIR: IIR stands for Infinite Impulse Response.This blur works best for large radius values and for images which are not computer generated. RLE: RLE stands for run-length encoding. RLE Gaussian Blur is best used on computer-generated images or those with large areas of constant intensity.

Re: [Gimp-user] How do you select the inside of a circle?
Hi, How do I get a selection of the entire inside of an outline of a circle? For example, I have a transparent background, and I draw a circle in black (it looks like this O , minus the quotes). I use the Select Region By Color and click on the black outline of the circle. If I click Select - Invert, I get the outside of the circle, as well as the inside. My ultimate goal is to put a gradient inside the circle, but I have to get inside first :-) Thank you. -- __ DJ ___ Gimp-user mailing list Gimp-user@lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU https://lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU/mailman/listinfo/gimp-user ___ Gimp-user mailing list Gimp-user@lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU https://lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU/mailman/listinfo/gimp-user
