In the case of xsane, IIRC you need to make the binary available to gimp, eg via a link in the plugins directory. That will allow you to scan 'from' Gimp. On Linux/Unix systems, GIMP uses the SANE interface. SANE is a system for supporting scanners. You need to install it to get the scanner drivers, etc. XSane is a graphical front end to SANE. XSane can be used as a plugin to GIMP, making it show up in the File-Acquire or File-Create (depending on which version of GIMP you use) menu. Most Linux distributions (Ubuntu, Fedora/CentOS/Red Hat, etc) will install the SANE package as a dependency to XSane, so you usually only have to install XSane. That said, it isn't clear if the symbollic link to GIMP's stock plugins directory is created for you at that time. If it is, then after installing XSane and restarting GIMP you should see the menu option. If not, you'll have to create the symbollic link manually to your .gimp-version/plug-ins directory. I don't have a scanner installed right now or I'd verify the locations and paths. Sorry. Windows users can use the TWAIN interface. Not sure what Mac users use, but I think its TWAIN too. -- Michael J.

First stop is to check the sane database http://www.sane-project.org/cgi-bin/driver.pl?manu=model=bus=scsiv=p= If your scanner is supported then you will need to install xsane from your distribution repo.

[Gimp-user] 8 bit vs. 16 or more bit
I've tried some research on this subject but have come up with little definitive information. I'm new to gimp, have used photoshop some, and am new to the iMac and OSx operating system. As a photographer moving from prosumer to professional (hopefully), I am wondering about the quality differences between gimp and photoshop, especially in the bit rate area. If the bit rates make a difference to the quality of the finished product (especially prints), will gimp be going to higher bit rates, and will this include the mac version? Thanks for the help.

[Gimp-user] An introduction and some questions
Hi fellow GIMP user, My name is Mark Peng. I first learned about GIMP as a photographer and a Linux user. It was the best tool for someone like me who need a powerful tool and didn't want to boot back in Windows just to use Photoshop. Few years after I started using GIMP and I joined a company that makes Windows based tablet computer with an active digital stylus and multitouch input. While my colleagues focus how Photoshop and Artrage would run on our tablet, I thought GIMP would be the perfect software for the tablet and our customer. I already tested it out, it runs great and the pen pressure sensitivity is supported. However, I am hesitate to recommend to the company because I am not familiar with GNU General Public License. I was wondering if someone on the discussion forum could help me understand the finer detail I did look at this link and understand GIMP is a free software under GNU General Public License. http://www.gimp.org/about/COPYING http://www.gimp.org/about/selling.html We don't intend to sell it for profit or charge extra for the service of installing it.

Re: [Gimp-user] An introduction and some questions
It's pretty straightforward when it comes to the GPL. You can distribute the compiled software all you want either at no cost or for a price. What you can't do is make changes to it and then distribute it without making those changes available to everyone in source code form. Whatever you distribute must also be made available in source code form, either for free or for a reasonable cost (ie. the cost of making a CD and mailing it). You also can't incorporate any changes that make it incompatible with the GPL, which means any changes you make must not include code that is licensed under an incompatible license (ie. proprietary code). Since the source code for Gimp is easily available already, anyone can distribute the unmodified software and just include a link to the official source code online. Technically, the link is already there in the software. No costs involved, and full compliance with the GPL. -- Frank Gore www.ProjectPontiac.com ___ gimp-user-list mailing list gimp-user-list@gnome.org http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gimp-user-list

IANAL either, but pre-installing should almost certainly be OK, as long as you direct any requests for the source code to the project site - IE, if any of your customers ask for the source code, you can either provide it yourself or a link to the downloads on gimp.org. In other words: go nuts, install away! ;) The only thing you're really forbidden from is making changes to the GIMP program and not making those changes available to others.
