[Gimp-user] Fwd: Re: Conversion to XGA

2008-12-06 Thread sablade08

 Can I, for instance, convert a 2277x3080 pixels image to a 1024x765
 (XGA) image and how should I do that?


Yes, you can:
http://docs.gimp.org/en/gimp-tutorial-quickie-scale.html

Is it possible to resize about 3,000 photos using the method listed in the
tutorial as a batch process to 640 X 480 while also watermarking them and
then make an additional image that is 100 X 100 from the watermarked 640 X
480? That's the link I need.

[Gimp-user] Another question.

2008-11-17 Thread sablade08
Gimp 2.6.2
Mac OS X 10.5.5

I have photos to which I need to apply 2 watermarks that you guys showed me
how to make transparent and I thank you for that as it was a huge step on
the road to really digging into this ongoing task I've volunteered for.
(Yeah, don't ever volunteer, but I've met a lot of very helpful people!)

I've also been able to use applescript to allow me to standardize the size
of the photos, rename them and then produce a thumb size image of each
photo from the resized image while putting each into their required
directories.

Is there a database of script-fu programs I can look at 1.) to help learn
the language, and 2.) that will allow me to automate certain stages of the
placement of the 2 watermarks since each watermark will have to be placed
in a different location on each photo in order to not interfere with the
object of the photoin my case each photo will have a plane as the focal
point. 

Thanks again,

Gene

Re: [Gimp-user] Moving text while typing it.

2008-11-15 Thread sablade08
I thought that was just because I was using the MAC version.  Actually, I
find I can only move the text with the arrow keys while any use of the
mouse closes the box to editing regardless of where one clicks.

 Thanks, Sven. It seems that on my system (Kubuntu 8.04) one must close
 the window labeled Gimp Text Editor in order to move the text.

 I don't see why you would have to close that window in order to move the
 text.  What keeps you from moving the text if the text editor window is
 open?

 
 After more experimentation, I see that this is the situation:
 If I click the canvas outside the text field, then the Gimp Text
 Editor window gets focus and I cannot move the text with the keyboard
 (nor the mouse, because I was not clicking on the text field). If I
 click the canvas on the in the text field, then I can move the text
 field with the arrow keys, but I still cannot drag it with the mouse.
 
 GIMP in trunk already allows on-canvas text editing. This will be in
 GIMP 2.8.

 
 Excellent, thanks! However, the more general question stands: do the
 Gimp devs take kindly to feature requests regarding the usability of
 Gimp's tools? Or should I not even bother and waste their time?

[Gimp-user] Making a .gif file transparent

2008-11-12 Thread sablade08
Just beginning to use GIMP and I am baffled about how to properly transform
a .gif file to make it appear transparent when I subsequently add it to a
photo.  Each method I have tried still has a solid image that blocks out
the original photo.  Thanks in advance.

Re: [Gimp-user] Making a .gif file transparent

2008-11-12 Thread sablade08
Nathan,

It's an image we created for our website to protect photos sent to us for
display by watermarking them and I've tried layering and adding an alpha
layer to no avail.  I am clueless as to the ins and outs of imaging
software and GIMP is the program we use.  I've searched the tutorials to no
avail.

 Hi Gene, maybe you could help us out by telling us the steps you took
 previously to create transparent areas on the GIF image you are talking
 about. Also, are you using a GIF image that you created or that you
 downloaded from somewhere?
