[Gimp-user] Erasing with every Drawing tool
Wouldn't it be great if every tool could be used as an eraser? Using the Airbrush in one color and removing something with it by choosing transparency. This has the effect that the eraser has the same properties as the chosen tool. For example the softness of airbrush. The effect of smudging,... I would like to have something like that. :-) -- hannes61 (via gimpusers.com) ___ Gimp-user mailing list Gimp-user@lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU https://lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU/mailman/listinfo/gimp-user

Best regards, Abel This is not the same. This removes the color i had selected. If you use black and set the mode to color erase. Black is removed but all white parts stay. This is very cool, but does not work as the eraser, which does not differ on which color i selected. It could gibe a mode erase. That's what i miss. :-) (SOMETIMES) -- hannes61 (via gimpusers.com) ___ Gimp-user mailing list Gimp-user@lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU https://lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU/mailman/listinfo/gimp-user

Sorry, i don't understand your question. :( Hm It would behave as a transparent area in the image or in the mask, depending where the drawing tool has been used. And yes, sometimes it would replace the use of a mask. But maybe your are right, this is not needed, cause it could be done by using a mask. Black is delete or painting and white the opposite. :) -- hannes61 (via gimpusers.com) ___ Gimp-user mailing list Gimp-user@lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU https://lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU/mailman/listinfo/gimp-user

[Gimp-user] Square Pic in a Rectangular Hole
Dear Friends, I am new to GIMP and to this list, so please forgive me if I'm posting a question that has been asked a million times. I can't seem to find a searchable archive for the list (if there is one, feel free to point me toward it for future questions). I have some square photos that I cropped with another program awhile ago. I would like to print a test image based on them at a super-cheap photo finishing store (Costco, Wal-Mart, etc.). In essence, I'm trying to figure out a way to print a square picture on a rectangular page without cropping anything. In short, how can I use GIMP to add blank space to a given photo so that it keeps the original data within the confines of a 4x6 (for example) aspect ratio? Thank you in advance for your time and attention to my problem. -- Your servant in Christ, Julian Bryson See, hear, print, and purchase my music at http://members.sibeliusmusic.com/jbryson (small plugin required) View my photography at http://composerjules.deviantart.com ___ Gimp-user mailing list Gimp-user@lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU https://lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU/mailman/listinfo/gimp-user

[Gimp-user] Pytho-Fu window not visible
Gnagflow - don't know if you're reading new entries after 6 days or solved the problem without putting a new post but I ran into the same problem this morning and I found a solution. There is a bug in pygtk 2.22 which prevents the GIMP extension from working - after a lot of reading and experimenting I decided to revert to pygtk 2.16 - I selected the one with glade although I don't believe that would make a difference. Other people had made some useful plugins work with pygtk 2.16 so I thought it might be a new bug. My procedure was to delete everything under C:\Python26\Lib\site-packages Then I installed pygtk-2.16.0+glade.win32-py2.6.exe then pygobject-2.26.0.win32-py2.6.exe then pycairo-1.8.10.win32-py2.6.exe I did not re-install GIMP or restart the PC - done that at least ten times today. Now Python-Fu console window opens and I can import gimpfu - plugins should work now but I did not test it yet. Hope that this is helpful.

Re: [Gimp-user] Square Pic in a Rectangular Hole
Quoting Julian Bryson jules...@gmail.com: In short, how can I use GIMP to add blank space to a given photo so that it keeps the original data within the confines of a 4x6 (for example) aspect ratio? I recently wrote a script which should facilitate your task. The script will scale the active layer to fit within the selection -- or the image itself if there is no selection -- while maintaining the aspect ratio of the original layer. If you download the file at the following location and save it to your .gimp-2.6/scripts folder, then the next time you open GIMP there will be a new command called Fit to Selection under your Layer Menu. http://chiselapp.com/user/saulgoode/repository/script-fu/artifact/1798e8830fef11e639d5fe89eda4c0927d542d8c You would use the script by opening your original (square) image, using Image-Canvas Size to set the image dimensions to 4x6 (for example), and then perform Layer-Fit to Selection.
