You can get PDL from any Central Perl Archive Network (CPAN) site.

http://search.cpan.org will let you search for individual modules.

GIMP 1.1.26 hangs at "query plug-ins"?

2000-10-03 Thread Robb Kidd

Hallo everybody. I just did a full install of Helix GNOME onto my
Debian Potato box, which took GIMP from 1.0.something-or-other to
1.1.26.

I had unstable lines in /etc/apt/sources.list so that apt-get could
upgrade the dependencies it needed from Woody to install the
task-helix-gnome package.  The install succeeded with no errors.

On running GIMP 1.1.26 for the first time, it did the usual
generation of ~/.gimp-1.1/*  but hangs at Plug-Ins.  Running it
verbosely from the command line, it hangs when "query plug-ins:
/usr/lib/gimp/1.1/plug-ins/pdbbrowse.py" runs.  I haven't been able to
fathom why.
Suggestions as to what I've done wrong or misplaced?

Fog

2000-10-03 Thread Jim Clark

I made some pretty good fog on a picture by making a transparent layer,
creating circles, filling them with white, doing a major Gaussian blur,
and then reducing the transparency on that layer until they were just
barely visible.
Simple but worked very well to create different intensities and
different blotchiness.
Cheers!

Each layer has an adjustment for its transparency.

Experiment!  Try all kinds of stuff and see what happens.  Things will
begin to feel more natural with time.

IIRC Tigert (http://tigert.gimp.org/) had a tutorial where he created
clouds, fog or something like that. I think it was a tutorial for a

Have you ever tried hitting Ctrl+Shift+i? Maybe that is what you want
(1.1.26 at least). Well, that plus extra functions (selection size).

Tobias has a good point.  One of the features I sorely miss from photoshop
was the "Info" window.  In addition to showing the sizes of selections
it gives you the RGB value of whatever is under the cursor.  It even shows
before/after values when making adjustments and corrections.

Screenshot:
http://www.obscurasite.com/images/screengrabs/info-hist.jpg

In Gimp you can get the RGB values with the eyedropper tool but it goes
away when you select another tool. It would be nice to have it around all
the time and even better if it did before/after values so we can make more
precise color corrections.

Also note down in the corner the "history" / "actions" window.  We have
multiple undo and redo but is there something history and actions has in
addition?  (I started using Gimp before photoshop had that history stuff
;-)

It might be cool to have a "progressive undo / redo" so you can partially
back out of something.  The workaround I use for this now is to duplicate
one or more layers, do something like a color correction or filter, then
adjust transparency to blend the modified layer with the original.

Having a "procedural undo" would be able to accomplish this without the
additional step of creating a layer.  (heh... I'm lazy)

Thanks in advance for your consideration.  (and I know we are in a
"freeze" so I don't expect to see any new features any time soon)

Hi,p does it quite nicely, just open a new view of the image and use a

the Amiga version had this too. The current. modern alternatives for the
platform e.g. PPaint, Brilliance, Photogenics all have this feature too.

all I know is that Photogenics is coming to Linux. Perhaps GIMP will get

2000-10-03 Thread Tobias Gärder

Hi.

Got a little question, it doesn't really affect gimp as it could be any
3rd party software, but it would be awesome with a thingie like this
built into gimp...

Remember the old days? Drawing your pixels with Deluxe Paint on the
Amiga/Atari? Those programs had (at least the atariversion) a nice
little feature, a realtime magnifier.

It worked like a window/dedicated part of the screen which followed the
mouse on your canvas and magnified the part you were pointing at, so you
could draw with your airbrush in 1x1 mode while watching the pixels at a
lower scale at the same time, how many times haven't you done some
serious shading and realized that it looks wierd when resizing back to
normal scale?

The magnify-app that comes with X is something like what i want, except
that i want it to refresh continuously.

Anyone heard of a util like this or know anyone who's capable of coding
one? I know that there's a whole lot of people who'd use it.

Just a quick thought. again.

Admit that it would rock.

Why don't you use the select-your-own-key-to-the-buttons-you-like
function? Working with the keyboard instead of chosing each tool by hand(mouse)
is a great time-saver anyway.

(Just popup the menu, hold the pointer over the function you want to change
keybinding for and then press the key you'd like to use in the future).

I rarely touch the tool-panel anymore after modifying gimp to work just like
the old photoshop keybindings, which i'm used to.

just a tip. maybe unneccessary. maybe helpful. who knows.


what I'D want is gimp to show the selection-size all the time and not just

Suggestion to toolbar buttons placement

2000-10-03 Thread COUTIER Eric

Hello,

GIMP: what a great tool ! 

I am just an user but can i make a suggestion ? There's 25 buttons on the
Gimp Toolbar and sometime, it's not easy to find the good one in all these
buttons.
I suggest to arrange buttons by "groups", separated with spaces, to respect
"7 items" ergonomy standard
- selection buttons:Rectangle, Circle, Freehand selection, magic wand,
bezier tool,intelligent scissor, selection mover
- "transformations": crop tool, transformation tool, mirror tool
- drawing tools: text tool, fill tool, gradient tool, pencil, brush, rubber,
aerograph, ink tool,
- rectification tools: stamp tool, blur tool, ink tool, multiply tool,
finger tool
- "gadget" tool (tool that don't modify image but give info on
image):magnifier, compass, color picker

I think with that, each button must be easier to find.

Your best bet is to update using Mandrake rpms which are optimized for

ftp.atik.ciril.fr in the pub/mandrake-developer/cooker/mandrake/rpms folder
(or similar) is one place to look for them.
