Re: Animations
I wanted to create a short animated movie, to do this I put them jpegs as layers above each other and had Gimp create that animation to my suprise I found no way of saving that movie nor could I figure out how to set a framerate for it (like 10 pictures a second or something like that) If somebody could tell me how or if somebody knows another linux program that can be controlled with console commands I'd be very grateful Animations must be saved in GIF format in Gimp. Work with your graphic as RGB, then index it when you're done so it can be saved as a GIF. You need to tell Gimp it's an animation by naming each layer as: frame 1(500ms), frame 2(1000ms), etc. This is where you set the length of time that each frame is displayed during the animation. Experiment a bit to get the effect you want. Hope this helps, Teri Ward Technical Writer/Web Designer Seattle
Re: Q: Gradient Transparent -Color?
Hi Jonathan - Did anyone ever answer this? I didn't see a response, so ignore this if you already got an answer. If you click twice on the gradient tool, you can choose a Blend of "Foreground to Transparent". Set the color you want, such as black, as your foreground color. Then apply the gradient either from left to right, or right to left. Will this create the effect you want?? Teri Ward Technical Writer/Web Designer Seattle Hi, I want to darken parts of a pic so up to now I've layered in a black to color gradient. But better would be to leave parts transparent and so was wondering if I lay down, and how, a gradient that goes from transparent to a color. In other words, a gradualy appearing color?
