I don't understand why you have changed this, as I use Facebook for promoting my stuff and now can't because I can't save the files into JPG. ... I do manage to save some pics into JPG, but its very hard to do.. Is there a better or lesser complicated and less frustrating way to create files easily into JPG? I want the 2.6 version back..

Re: [Gimp-user] Gimp
That's okay, the GiMP will get by without you. But you're right about many things. Among these is that it is written, maintained and directed by tech people with the notion that they are taking on the big boys and that they have a professional workflow in mind as they continue to develop. One problem, though, as they have demonstrated time and time again, GiMP does not take complaints or suggestions. This is where they completely miss the professional goal. Users and customers are considered to be valuable in the professional world and it doesn't matter if the software is free or not. For what it's worth, I personally find GiMP easier than Photoshop. But then again, I started on GiMP and Inkscape before trying Photoshop and Illustrator. Easy and Intuitive has a lot to do with where you started. I started with those for graphics and in a larger sense, I started with *NIX before Linux was ever announced and never used GUIs until much later in the game and followed the principles and ideals of effective GUI design closely since then. GiMP breaks some of those rules but, as you might guess, they ignore complaints and suggestions. They keep using words like professional and workflow but I don't think they mean what they think they mean. Be cautioned: there are a fair number of cheerleaders out there, and they aren't hard to spot. Enjoy your experiences with Photoshop. I've never used wine in that way before and I've heard it has really matured. It has gotten me thinking that perhaps the best way for me to get the latest GiMP to work on the latest CentOS is to use wine and GiMP for Windows. I can't get it working terribly well under CentOS because of GTK compatibility issues. (I have recently learned this introduction of DLL hell was intentionally created in order to kill GNOME2. Taking a page from Microsoft's playbook? I guess they missed the part where such tactics are largely why people HATE MICROSOFT.) On 03/13/2014 12:15 PM, Full Name wrote: You know...

It's about time Gimp has been made into a ONE-WINDOW application!!! Took you people long enough. I have always loved the EASE of gimp in the beginning all the way up until about version 2.0 - after that, it started going down hill. This program used to be easy to work with and was somewhat user-friendly. Today on the other hand, it is FAR from being user-friendly. But I am sure you people have not one clue of this as you continue down that path. I have SEVERAL friends on Linux including family members as I have set most of them up on Netrunner-OS and Zorin. NO ONE I have gotten into Linux, likes your Gimp program. Today, I myself am having a hard time figuring out Gimp... because it gets completely changed with each new release!! I have BETTER things to do than to RE-LEARN a program with every new release. Anyone can tell that Gimp is created by the techie programmers FOR the techie programmers because anyone I have introduced this program to recently has quickly found that it is a piece of worthless, UN- user friendly Crap and have decided to uninstall it from their computers for good. Things that should be very easy to implement are either hidden for some ridiculous reason or you programmers simply have no freaking clue what the hell it is you’re doing!! Just because you can program, doesn't make you any more smart than anyone else. Because it is obvious you have no idea what it take TO design a program for the people. Whatever... Now I am having to install Photoshop on all computers using wine and thanks to YOU, it has caused me a great deal of work. As I am a big supporter of open source software amongst my group of friends and family... plus those I newly meet... most seem to want to go back to the spy-wares like MicroTrash and Crapple and I find it a task to keep them all on Linux.

Re: [Gimp-user] GIMP -2.8.10 Brushes
I have been using the GIMP for about 10 years now, don't really understand most of the technical stuff that goes on with this list, but it has been very helpful (the list) to me when I have had specific questions I could not find the answers to on the web. I use the GIMP for all my photo editing, pretty basic stuff, but I'm good with the basic stuff. With the new way the brush sizes work, I was at first frustrated, then I discovered I can just select the kind of brush I want, then simply use the open and close brackets , [ and ], to resize it larger or smaller to my satisfaction. This works for me, just saying.

[Gimp-user] Food.
If someone gives you free food, every day for as many years as you go there, you get free food from them. They tell you what goes into making the food, where to get the ingredients, etc. One day they decide to change the recipe of the food you are given, its different from what you are used to and it tastes different too. Would you find out why the recipe was changed, would you bitch about the change in menu, would you offer to help in the kitchen, would you help clean the tables, would you decide that its maybe one of the few places that are willing to give you free food and if you really wanted to you could acquire the taste of this new food or you do accept that maybe this food is not for you anymore and go and find free food somewhere else...what would a rational mature and intelligent human do?

Re: [Gimp-user] GIMP JPG unsaved
I honestly have to say that I like GIMP 2.6 MUCH better! For one, you have the same paint tools, however when it comes to the smudge tool, its just not giving the same effects as GIMP 2.6. Another thing which is a huge asset to my cartoon uploads is that I find it hard to save it into a JPG file. I don't understand why you have changed this, as I use Facebook for promoting my stuff and now can't because I can't save the files into JPG. ... I do manage to save some pics into JPG, but its very hard to do.. Is there a better or lesser complicated and less frustrating way to create files easily into JPG? I want the 2.6 version back.. That one was my fave. File-Export As Just put a .jpg extension at the end of the file name, the default is to export as png -- Owen ___ gimp-user-list mailing list List address:gimp-user-list@gnome.org List membership: https://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gimp-user-list List archives: https://mail.gnome.org/archives/gimp-user-list
Re: [Gimp-user] GIMP -2.8.10 Brushes
So Randhir, It is true that the stored brush size is no longer automatically used. However, GIMP has a feature that is somewhat hidden that can make for it, and even give much more flexibility than just the brush size. It will require one extra level of configuration, though: GIMP 2.8 have the tool presets feature. You can find then in the proper dockable dialog (windows-dockable dialogs-tool presets) - besides storing suggestions for tool configurations shipped with GIMP, these presets are a fast way to restore any tool, with all the configured parameters, with a single click! So, you have to do the following: select your desired brush, pick your tool of choice (e.g. the Paintbrush) - type in your desired size for that brush. Since you are at it, you may optionally take your time to fine tune all painting parameters you may like with this brush: smooth stroke, an specific Painting dynamics, even a color. When you are done, go to the Tool presets dialog, and press the button for a new preset. (The button marked with the same New icon as is used in most other dialogs). You are then taken to the tool preset editor dialog - it is an extremely simple dialog - because when it is open, GIMP will already remember the tool you are using, along with all the options you finetuned. All you have to do in this dialog is to mark the Apply stored brush checkbox, in your case (or don't if you want a preset that will change to a specific brush size, no matter the selected brush). AH, of course, type in a suitable name for the preset - like plantbrush size 15. Click on the solitary save button on the bottom of this dialog, and go back to the tools preset dialog. From now on, one single click on the plantbrush size 15 icon in this dialog will instantly set your brush, size and other painting options, and switch to the painting tool of choice. So, this is what make for fixed size for brushes in GIMP 2.8 - but there is still one further trick: There are a lot of presets. And if you create one or more preset for each brush you have, you will soon have a lot more! Now enter in the tags feature - if you haven't discovered them yet - on the tool preset dialog, (or any item dialog in GIMP, for that matter), you have two text entries. The entry below the main dialog contents allow you to set Tags for each item. For example, you might want to type in brush in this entry (be sure to press enter after typing it). That is it - now your preset is Tagged with the brush tag. Now, you just have to type in brush in the other entry, above the dialog contents, and those are instantly filtered, showing only the items with the brush tag. Therefore, you could easily create 10-20 presets making use of a single tag, and it would be manageable. If you need more than that, you just add more tags to the mix :-) js -- On 13 March 2014 19:40, Judy Wilson j...@corozal.com wrote: I have been using the GIMP for about 10 years now, don't really understand most of the technical stuff that goes on with this list, but it has been very helpful (the list) to me when I have had specific questions I could not find the answers to on the web.
