Smoothing gradient Q...
Hi, I'm doing a left to right gradient, dark blue to black so that a narrow 2 inch bank of blue apperas before fading into black. the problme is that the band has uneven bars of various hue there. I tried Blur to smooth it out, and adding another deeper colored layer, etc. No go. How can I smooth this out? Thanks. Jonathan "Hey, I think I finally got the hang of i-"
RE: Making Transparent from Non-Transparent
Under linux at least, there's a plugin named colortoalpha (i dont't know where in the menu exactly, i believe under Image/Colors, search in the PDB) that can be good for this. -Message d'origine- De: Jonathan Gift [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Date: vendredi 12 janvier 2001 13:34 : Gimp Objet: Making Transparent from Non-Transparent Hi, Second big question is I have a lot of old logos Istored on a black background. Is there a way of turning the black transparent so that I can drop the logos on to a new background? I've looked in my small book but it doesn't cut. Another PS would be what are the best books? The Gimp Manual and Grokking The Gimp? Thanks, Jonathan "Hey, I think I finally got the hang of i-"

Banding, eh? I'm on 24 bit. Always have been and just ran a check, still am... Even hough I have an 8MB card, I can't see to get 32bit whith the card's VGA server. I notice the banding doesn't take place if I use the gradient red pipe plugin. It renders it and all gradients flawless. Just the standard... Any other thing you can think of s appreciated. It sort of ruins what I'm doing and so causes massive depression, loss of appetite, etc. Thanks for the feedback. Jonathan "Hey, I think I finally got the hang of i-"

Don't have it, at least on 1.04 which came with potato and I'm trying to get my hand on something more recent... Have you an url for it? BTW, all the plugins I've seen come in source? You have to compile them all? Any special libraries involved? Thanks, Jonathan
Exclusivity with glibc package?
Dear helpful maintainer, I hope that you can guide me on my quest to simultaneously run: - GIMP/GTK - Netscape 6 / glibc+libjpeg Case 1: I had GIMP and GTK. Case 2: I tried to install Netscape 6.0, but it crashed, due to dependencies on glibc and libjpeg, which I did not have (at least not in correct version). Case 3: I downloaded and installed several layers of dependent *.DEB files with the dpkg GUI. Case 4: As a result, I successfully installed Netscape 6, but GIMP/GTK were gone. Case 5: I tried to reload the Gimp package using dpkg, but it informed me that it would unload MANY packages, including glibc and libjpeg. ARGHH! If you can help, or guide me to someone who can, please let me know. Regards, -- jeffrey winter work phone 301-608-2780 = --Always look on the bright side of life.-- __ Do You Yahoo!? Yahoo!

Fwd: Exclusivity with glibc package?
Sorry for a possible mis-communication. The packages that I installed to make Netscape work were: libjpeg62, libc6 and ldso. --- jeff winter [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Date: Fri, 12 Jan 2001 07:07:03 -0800 (PST) From: jeff winter [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Exclusivity with glibc package?

I don't know if it will work with 1.2.8. 1.2.8 is available from Helix though. Potato has GTK 1.2.7... Let me know if you want the packages I built, and I'll put them up someplace. I may put them up anyways, but I'm not sure how many people will want them, since you need to have Helix Gnome installed. I'll keep your info on file. First I need to find out what files I need to compile against potato and then maybe give that a try. In other words, gimp 1.2 source, extras 1.2 source, and now apparently the gtk 1.2.8 package? Is everything else on potato that I would need? Or do I need to dl the perl 1.3 package, etc... Thanks. Jonathan

But I can't grab the compiled deb binaries on the Debian site because they're compiled against sid and that means upgrading a lot of libraries on my potato system and breaking stuff. Any suggestions welcome. I'd love to have it... Compile! Its not hard. Just download the source, unzip it, ./configure, make, su to root, and make install. Or, you can add an apt sources line to /etc/apt/sources.list eg: deb-src ftp://ftp.debian.org/debian sid main contrib non-free and: apt-get -b source gimp1.2 This will compile the sid GIMP 1.2 package for you.
