A question about TIFF's comment area

2000-08-14 Thread kuppo
Hi,

You know TIFF format has a comment area. So you can write your
comments in this area at the time of saving a image by TIFF format.
I'd like to write down a history of processing applied to the image
onto this comment area automatically or semiautomatically .

If you know any way of doing this or similar things, please let me
know.

thanks,

I *hope* others can provide you with an RPM of PDL, because I won't ever
touch it so I don't know it.

While rpm is a quick ways to install software (when and if it works), the
slow and usually safer way for perl is to use CPAN. Just enter:

perl -MCPAN -eshell

And follow the menu. After that you should have a prompt like this:

cpan 

Just enter "install PDL" at this prompt and chances are high that it works
out of the box. If it doesn't you can use "look PDL" (enters the shell)
and edit the file "perldl.conf" to your liking, followed by:

perl Makefile.PL
make
make test
make install

I've printed to 14" (length), as well as wide envelopes on my Epson 440,
but what I did was create a separate printers in my /etc/printcap that
had the page sizes defined this way.  I then just select to print to
that printer.

The tiff plug-in saves the image comment. Search for something like
"attaching parasites to an image" and the description of gimp-comment in
docs/parasites.txt.

in perl you could do something like this (mostly pseudocode):

$comment = $image-parasite_find("gimp-comment")-data;

$comment .= "date: text\n";

$image-parasite_attach(new Parasite "gimp-comment",
 PARASITE_PERSISTENT,
 $comment);

Gimp::Net::gimp_main();

2000-08-14 Thread Filip Krska

   Hello,

do you know, what's wrong when my perl and Perl-Server says:

966258177: accepted unix connection
hilite: required callback 'net' not found (ERROR)
966258177: closing connection 11 (3 requests in 0 seconds)

in the moment of  execution of line

   Gimp::Net::gimp_main();

(in script "hilite" by Giray Devlet)?


Thanks a lot

Filip

  Yes, you have not instzalled PDL from source, but _either_ using one of
  the many pdl rpm's that leave out a lot of files or one of the few pdl
  rpm's that are splitted into pdl and pdl-devel parts (and you didn't
  install the latter one).
 
  It is interesting that most of mailinglist traffic in the recent weeks is
  caused by the (perfectly working ;) rpm system :)

grays black - color

2000-08-14 Thread Nikolai Vladychevski

Hello,

I am trying to find out how to convert gray colors including black into
for example red color but have no success. I know I can select with
fuzzy selection tool but the problem is, I have a black shape and gray
areas that are used as antialising, so I want to convert it all like it
does Hue/Saturation but, Hue/Saturation does not works on Black and Gray
colors, why is this?

Thanks in advance
Nikolai



Re: grays black - color

2000-08-14 Thread Gautam N. Lad

Hi,
There are several ways to do what you want...
You can create a layer over your image, set the layer on top's Mode to
Multiply
and fill that top layer completely with Red.   This will give you an image
that's palette
goes from black-to-red-to-white...
Or, instead of the Multiply mode, try Overlay (which gives a better effect).

However, if you want to make your image so it's palette is
pure red to white, then try this method:

1) Copy your greyscale image (Ctrl+C or Edit-Copy)
2) Go to the Channels tab in the Layers dialog.
3) Create a new channel (with default values).
4) Select this channel (and make sure the Red,Green,Blue are unselected).
5) Paste your image into the channel (Ctrl+V or Edit-Paste)
6) Right click on the channel we created and choose Alpha to Selection
7) Go back to the Layers tab
7) Make two layers (the top layer will be transparent, and the bottom will
be pure White)
   Also make your image's layer invisble
8) Select the top layer
10) Choose red from the palette, and apply a bucket fill to the selection.
  (If it doesn't look right, invert the selection by pressing Ctrl+I or
Select-Invert)

That's it...rathert hen your image now being black to white in palette, it
will be red
to white in palette.

Hope this helps...if it doesn't, then maybe I'll write up a tutorial for my
site. =)
Bye!

Go to Image - Colors - Curves
Change [Value] to the different color channels, and move the ends
of the curve around until you get what you want.

Re: The GIMP v1.1.24 Installation Saga Continues.....

2000-08-14 Thread Alan Buxey

hi,

 checking for gtk-config... /usr/bin/gtk-config
 checking for GTK - version = 1.2.8...
 *** An old version of GTK+ (1.2.6) was found.
 *** You need a version of GTK+ newer than 1.2.8. The latest version of
 *** GTK+ is always available from ftp://ftp.gtk.org.
 ***
 *** If you have already installed a sufficiently new version, this error
 *** probably means that the wrong copy of the gtk-config shell script is
 *** being found. The easiest way to fix this is to remove the old version
 *** of GTK+, but you can also set the GTK_CONFIG environment to point to the
 *** correct copy of gtk-config. (In this case, you will have to
 *** modify your LD_LIBRARY_PATH enviroment variable, or edit /etc/ld.so.conf
 *** so that the correct libraries are found at run-time))
 configure: error: Test for GTK failed. See the file 'INSTALL' for help.
 [root@localhost gimp-1.1.24]#

;-) well, it tries to help you as much as it can (without getting overly
technical!)

firstly, you need to make sure that all of your libraries are properly
linked.

ldconfig -a

is the command to run.

secndly, you dont want /usr/lib to appear twice in your ld.so.conf file.
that can mess things up (and slow down library searches!)

FINALLY, are you SURE that the new gtk is in /usr/lib?

have you checked under 

/usr/local/lib ?

if its there, then add this path to your ld.so.conf  and then run ldconfig
-a again.


hint:

run 'updatedb'  as root.  it will take a while, but will build a directory
database of your system.  then, to find files on your machine, you can
type

locate filename-that-i-want 

and it'll find that file - with path.  ideal for debugging problems such
as this!!


good luck!!

hi,

 Got any ideas about this ?  perl is the reason why I am going through
 all of this heartache - so I can get to the perl plug-ins (esp. perlotine).

my advice is to get the full Perl 5.6  tarball and install that.

Printing on Custom-sized Papers?

Hi all--

has anyone been able to convince the GIMP to print to odd-sized (custom
user-sized) paper?  We have an Epson Stylus Color 3000 (with a 12" print
bed) which we'd like to convince to print 12 by 54 inch images.  Problem
is, the existing print plug-in only lists standard paper sizes.  Anyone
know how to convince it to print to other paper sizes?
