Re: [Gimp-user] Problem with Gimp 2.7.4 'Text' facility
Maurice maur...@bcs.org.uk writes: For users of the Text facility, there is a handy tutorial: http://docs.gimp.org/2.8/en/gimp-image-text-management.html Thanks! I needed some experimenting to get used to the new facility but it sure looks handy and efficient. It still needs some work, though. Since we now have three ways to control text properties there's a risk of confusing descriptions. For example, the text options panel has Adjust line spacing while the tool box overlay has Change baseline of selected font. The options panel has Adjust letter spacing while the tool box overlay has Change kerning of selected text. The text editor seems to be consistent with the tool box overlay. Several features do not seem to function properly. In particular, the text editor seems to behave strange. See e.g. http://www.squirrel.nl/pub/xfer/uploads/3CAk4t63w4ZFPF_047osONJA.png In the text options, the kerning is adjusted with +10. This can be seen on the canvas. The second word the has had the kerning changed back to 0. In the text editor, the text is not shown with +10 kerning and, surprise, the second word the is not unkerned, but lowered. Changing the baseline using the semi-transparent tool box does not have any effect, neither does changing the baseline in the text editor. Changing it in the 'classical' tool options dialog does work. When the text editor is shown, the on-cavas editing doesn't work anymore. In the text editor, when you want to change e.g. the font size of a piece of text, strange things happen. For example, select the word quick and then go to the font size field and use the mouse wheel. The selection is lost and although the font size (number) changes, no text is affected. I consider these first release inconveniences that beyond doubt will get fixed soon. All by all the new text features are promising. -- Johan ___ gimp-user-list mailing list gimp-user-list@gnome.org http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gimp-user-list
Re: [Gimp-user] laptop windows 7 cannot read kodak files
The first thing I'd do pronto is get a copy of those files. Then your card is no longer the only copy of all those pictures. Once you have them on hard disk you can think about working with them safely.

When I attach the card to a card reader on my laptop, I am unable to read the image files, although the Windows 7 on my laptop confirms that the files are about 700mb. What do I do to read the image files? I am out of my depth already, after installing gimp and photoshop creative suit and other gaming programs, I cannot still read those files.

Changing the baseline using the semi-transparent tool box does not have any effect, neither does changing the baseline in the text editor. They work fine here, but you have to have selected some text on the canvas. I cannot select text when the editor is active. I have to close the editor, select text on the canvas, and then [x] Use editor on the options panel. It is (still) not clear what change baseline is supposed to do. When the text editor is shown, the on-cavas editing doesn't work anymore. works here (but I have a pre-release of 2.8) although you can't select text. Yes, not being able to select text is what I referred do. -- Johan ___ gimp-user-list mailing list gimp-user-list@gnome.org http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gimp-user-list
[Gimp-user] GIMP 2.8.0 WIN32 - Very Slow
I got the same problem on my limited user account in Windows XP (Core 2 Duo). I noticed, however, no such problems when running GIMP 2.8 with admin credentials. It must have been simply different settings of color management. Rights in itself have anything to do with it, I've just checked. -- wojtzuch (via gimpusers.com) ___ gimp-user-list mailing list gimp-user-list@gnome.org http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gimp-user-list

[Gimp-user] Gimp 2.8 - Default Toolbox on the right
Hi everybody, I have just loaded 2.8 with much anticipation and found that the default toolbox is fixed on the right-hand side of the screen adjacent to the dockable toolbars. Is this normal for 2.8? It seems weird that it would now be positioned on the right Thank you, Andrew -- utiler (via gimpusers.com) ___ gimp-user-list mailing list gimp-user-list@gnome.org http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gimp-user-list
