Re: [Gimp-user] Export quality setting for JPGs?

2012-06-18 Thread Keith Purtell
Aha; thanks for providing that informative link on previous research!

And, as for the suggested 90 JPG output setting, maybe that explains why my
GIMP persistently wants to default to that number.

[Gimp-user] Convert to CMYK Mode

2012-06-18 Thread Doug Reynolds
How do I convert to CMYK mode?  It is a requirement for a banner I need to
get printed.

I go to Image-Mode and select a CMYK profile but it just prints an error
'Destinatin Profile is not for FGB coloe Space' when I press OK.

Thanks
Doug

You'll need to use a plug-in:

Re: [Gimp-user] Back to gimp 2.6 (finding a debian repository or compiling ?)

Dear all:
I tried to compile gimp, but a error occured (I post it below).



failed to load ./cursor-bad.png: Couldn't recognize the image file
format for file './cursor-bad.png'


What is this file's file format? The utility file should tell.


make[1]: Leaving directory `/mnt/store/Linux/gimp-2.6.11'


Is there a reason why you try to build 2.6.11 and not the latest release 
of the old 2.6 branch, 2.6.12?

[Gimp-user] Linux philosophy - Maximum efficiency/minimum input

2012-06-18 Thread drankinatty
I'm been a linux user for over a decade and a gimp user for nearly as long. 
I've marveled at the philosophy of doing the greatest amount of work with a 
minimum of keystrokes and mouse clicks. That was the hallmark of linux software 
design for ages.

I was shocked when I installed 2.8 and ran into the open/save dialog problem. 
What hit me right off the bat was how forcing users to import/export all 
bitmaps and only allowing saves in .xcf seemed to fly in the face of the long 
precedent of efficiency build into gimp. I could no longer simply open a jpeg 
or png, edit and save the file as I had for years, but instead had to go 
through a web of additional dialogs that do not help get any more work done, 
but require a great deal more interaction.

I have bugged the issue and I've followed the developer thread to bring back 
the open/save dialog. There was years of work that went into the design of the 
elegant 2.6 handling of open/save of files. I have yet to see any explanation 
of how the 2.8 setup furthers the ability of the user to do more with fewer 
keystrokes or mouse clicks -- or do anything new at all other than mindlessly 
navigate more dialogs.

I have always been impressed with the progress the developers have made with 
gimp and gtk, but this is one area where they should reconsider and restore the 
functionality that was lost in the 2.6 - 2.8 transition.

I fully support the devs in the progress they make, however when an idea 
results in a loss of ease of use, I also expect them to be wise enough to 
listen to the community input going forward.

The mailing list is run by the GIMP developers, all of the forums out 
there are run by third parties.


So the mailing list(s) are the official communications channel; the 
objectives of all the forums out there would have to be explained by 
their maintainers.
