Re: Bezier lines
Hi! By the way, does anybody know how to make a 1 pixel width line using "stroke" command? It seems that even if I set my brush to 1x1 pixel the result line will be 2 pixels width. One way is to make image twice as big and then resize it, but, probably it's not the best way. alex wrote: Hi, Lars Burgstahler wrote: Hi, I know how to create shapes using the bezier tool.

I just want to draw an arc or a wave or something similar. Making a bezier shape is quite painful for something like that because it is difficult to get the same line width everywhere, Quick suggestions: 1. Convert it to selection and use 'stroke' command ( not sure, but it shuold be in 'Selection' submenu. It fills selection with current brust. 2. If you use unclosed path, try GFigure tools (if you have it, it included at least in 1.1.17 ver) Alex -- // Only the fireborn understand blue. __ Do You Yahoo!?

One way is to make image twice as big and then resize it, but, probably it's not the best way. One solution is this: Working with an otherwise blank layer, do the stroke then invert the selection and do ctrl+k to delete the ``outside'' half of the stroked line. It's an ugly way to do it but it works (you can get interesting effects using this with large airbrushes) I too would like to know if there's a way to do it ``right'' if not then perhaps a feature request :-) One other thing I've noticed about stroke is that if you are using a low opacity on your brush, the starting point of the loop is darker (try it with a rectangular selection) I assume this is because it's just drawing the path so the starting point gets hit twice but it's a bit ugly. --Ben alex wrote: Hi, Lars Burgstahler wrote: Hi, I know how to create shapes using the bezier tool.

Re: Mask not saved?
No, no, I'm DONE working on the image and I want to save it in a web-browser-viewable format. Perhaps I shouldn't have used the term "mask"; I did a selection-to-channel, then blurred the channel. When viewing with both the original, single layer AND the mask/channel, it looks great...now I want to export it as a PNG. When I do, it only exports the layer without applying the channel. I must be missing something basic? ---scott On Wed, 19 Apr 2000, you wrote: At 09:41 PM 4/19/00 -0500, Scott Thomason [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: I've tried several different output formats--png, gif, jpg--and that doesn't seem to make any difference. What am I doing wrong? Try saving it in Gimp's native format, XCF. Most of the other file formats have limitations such as not supporting layers or transparency, being indexed images only etc. Where possible, you should work in XCF all the time and only export to another format when you are finished. If a file format does not support layers (as most don't), only the current layer is saved. In those cases, you need to flatten the image before exporting it. Ian

Or, is there a series of steps that I can do to "focus" the photograph?. Thanks. Hello Rick, Check out the excellent Warp Sharp Script-Fu. http://www.home.unix-ag.org/simon/gimp/warp-sharp.html I use it on almost everything I Gimp. Its not designed to fix blurry images but it might help. You'll need to experiment with the settings.

Image slice
Is there a plugin/script that I could use, to slice a particular image into 6 or 7 parts, then assign a URL to each piece..like in Adobe ImageReady? I'm using Gimp 1.1.19 Thanks for any info
