 I am having a problem as a newbie gimp user.
 
 i installed the dds plugin so that i can open fsx.dds files directly
 from gimp instead of having to go through a third party application
 such as dxtBmp.
 
 Trouble is, i am having tranparency issues with some of the files
 that are in the dds dxt5 format. they show up as if the transparency
 on the main layer is set to 50%...and i cant seem to change it as the
 transparency slider is already at 100%.
 
 If i open some different fsx images that are in the dds dxt1 format i
 dont have any problems.
 
 Also, the dds dxt5 format images are opening perfectly in the dxtBmp
 editing software.
 
 does anyone have any ideas?
 
 btw, how in gods name am i supposed to send a link for an image file?
 what is it linking to??
 

Hi adamjedgar,
I can't answer your question regarding the dds files.  As for the part
about linking I'll assume you mean to show a link to an image/data
file.  That is done by uploading the file from your computer to a file
storage system that then provides a link to that file that others may
access  view.  There are many sites that offer this service.  Googleing
for image hosting will list several of them for you.

You then include the link in your message instead of the entire file
as an attachment (many lists don't allow attachments).

[Gimp-user] Wilber watch mockup designs

[Mukund Sivaraman]

Hi all

tigert and jimmac have given permission for using the Wilber image in
our watch.

tigert made some mock designs for the watch:
https://staff.banu.com/~muks/tmp/wilber-watch-draft-1.png
https://staff.banu.com/~muks/tmp/wilber-watch-draft-2.png

I've uploaded a variant of this design too:
https://staff.banu.com/~muks/tmp/wilber-watch-draft-3.png

The stencil is here for anyone who wants to play with it:
https://staff.banu.com/~muks/tmp/wilber-stencil.svg

The watch image is here (with the text moved down a little):
https://staff.banu.com/~muks/tmp/wilber-watch.xcf.bz2

If you wish to comment on these designs or contribute a variant, please
do so. Note that any contributed designs will have to come with
permission to use it for our watch.

We have to find a balance between making it nice for those who wear and
read the dial regularly, and also make it appealing to those who are
seeing it for the first time.  The dial should not be too noisy for the
regular wearer.  Note that the stock watch is a beautiful white dial on
the wrist (a classic yester-year office watch), so remember that if you
are making a design.


Kind regards,

Mukund
