Re: Can not open any images

But when ever I try to open any image (jgep, tiff, etc) I get the followint error: Wrong JPEG library version: library is 62, caller expects 61 I have updated to the newest jpeg libraries, but still get hte same results. I just wondering if have ahd this error before and know a fix for it. Thanks. You should get a libjpeg6b. Alternatively, you can make a symlink to the current library (not sure about the name needed,when I get to my machine, I'll send it). Both worked for me. Regards, Peter

My brother had to copy one big image into another: -My home partitiion was completely filled (115 MB of GIMP swap) -GIMP used more than 60MB of RAM Hey there I don't quite understand your statement, because I am using the GIMP to produce prints from my slides. I am scanning whith a HP-Photo-smart scanner, and it's resolution is 2400 dpi, so a 'normal' slide is aproximately 2400*3600 pixels. My guess is, that you have some kind of mis-configuration. My guess: not necessarily. You probably did not edit your scans as heavily as Joachim's brother did his image. Let's count: 2000 times 2000 is 400, multiply that by 4 for RGB images, you get 1600. I assume you have 2 and half a layers = 4000 Bytes. Copying also adds the size of the region you copy. That's about 56 Megs that _need_ to be in memory! Channels, paths, selections also add to this amount, so let's say 60 Megs. Let's say we've used 3 levels of undo. That totals at around 180 Megs for a single 2000x2000 image, which is about the amount Joachim reports. And I'm not even taking opening the second image into account. Conclusion: GIMP does its job. I'm not trying to prove that GIMP is the pinnacle of image processing(even though having used quite a few programs I think it is great). But, for heaven's sake, what do you expect on PCs? Relatively low bus bandwidths, screwed-up design, I know it could be better (all software could), but it could be _much_ worse. BTW, named selections rule, esp. if you're low on memory.

First I performed a standard installation, making the jpeg executables visible to GIMP by linking them from the "lib/gimp/1.0/plug-ins" directory, then I tried with gimptool, using the "--install-admin-bin" option. You have to get the _library_ called libjpeg6b. It seems that the sources you compiled were the binary utilities for libjpeg. Chances are you have it already, if not then check out the gimp.org ftp site for libjpeg6b, it is there somewhere. I think it should compile nice and clean on Solaris, too(never tried it though).
Re: blend pattern with pattern
[EMAIL PROTECTED] (Hago Ziegler) wrote: I'd like to blend a pattern with another pattern and don't succeed. Could somebody give me a little help, please? Try making 2 layers, each filled with a pattern. Then select Layers-Add Layer Mask. If you fill the mask with a BW gradient, it will blend the patterns smoothly. If you select FG to Transparent from the gradient Tool Options, you can create awesome effects with this method. Experiment, it's well worth it! Regards, Peter -- WilbEr is waTchinG
Re:blendpatternwithpattern
Markus Fischer [EMAIL PROTECTED] rta: When adding a Layer mask, do all operations now work on the mask with this layer instead of the Image in the layer ? Or can I switch between them and tell gimp a given tool should operate on the image and not on the mask ? If you watch _closely_, you'll notice a thin border around the preview of the layer mask. This means the mask is selected. Try clicking on the preview of the layer. The border should appear there. Now you can work on the image instead of the mask.
