If you do not want to make it wider, but do not need all tools, you can disbale those you do not need in Edit -> Preferences.

Well, I haven't touched GIMP in a week or so, I wanted to try out the gradient tool again foreground to transparent, and I can't remember how to do it. I can find the tool, but not foreground to transparent... Help please...

[Gimp-user] Toggle Visibility of two layers
Try the attached script - put it in your personal scripts folder - search the internet for where this folder is depending on the operating system you use. I have only tested the script quickly so if you find any problems let me know. The script should appear in the Layer menu as Toggle Top Layers Visibility I was going to make it toggle the visibility of the specified number of top layers based on the visibility of the top layer but have made it more flexible by inverting their visible flags on a layer by layer basis. Set the visibility of the layers to one of the desired set-ups to start with then use the script. If you aren't using any other scripts then pressing Ctrl F (at least on Windows) will repeat the script and toggle the states of the layers. You can also select the layer that will be active when the top layer is visible and the layer that will be active when it is invisible Hope this helps >Hi Everyone, > >I've been struggling with this for a couple of days and have had no >success finding a practical solution.

[Gimp-user] Toggle Visibility of two layers
Hi Everyone, I've been struggling with this for a couple of days and have had no success finding a practical solution. What I want to do is toggle the visibility of two layers (out of three total) with a single keystroke. The reason is that for my work I need to rapidly toggle the visibilty of both layers while quickly editing one of the layers. I've already tried a few things: 1) Layer groups. This seemed promising, but in practice it slows things down way too much. I can group the two layers together and toggle the visibilty of them both with a hotkey, but the issue is I have to have the whole group selected to do so. So, in order to quickly edit something in one layer, I have to click one of the layers in the sidebar, make the edit, then go back and select the group to regain the ability to rapidly toggle visibility of both layers. I'm constantly going back and forth between editing a layer and toggling visibility way too much for this to be practical. 2) Linking layers. I thought maybe linking the two layes would allow me to have only one layer selected for editing while being able to toggle both layers. Not the case - too bad. 3) A script. I was reading elsewhere that this could potentially be solved with a script that toggles the visibilty of both layers, perhaps triggered by a keystroke. I'm really not familiar enough with GIMP to do this. This could be a potential solution, so if anyone has any advice on how to do this, that would be amazing. If anyone knows of any other solution to this, I would be sooo happy. Thanks for any help in advance.

>The image was taken with a Cannon 7D DSLR so I find it hard to understand why >the image is so small that I can not crop it to an 8*10 . That camera has a 18MP sensor and should produce images around the 5000 x 3600 pixel mark. Of course you can set a camera up to take much smaller sizes but my guess is you have got a built-in thumbnail rather than the actual image. What format is the image, jpeg or RAW (.CRW .CR2)? If the image format is RAW then use the Canon software that comes with the camera to convert it for editing. There are plugins for Gimp that handle RAW images but the camera makers software will be best. >Upon further investigation (changing the ruler measurement to inches) it appears >that the size of the file is less than an inch in each direction. The attached screenshot is my 18MP lumix. The important bit is the size in pixels at the top. Then go into Image -> Print Size and see what it says there. Come back and give the equivalent values of your image. >All I want to do is produce a photo that will fit into an 8*10 frame...one >frustrated user ;-) I could write a 1000 words on this but I am not going to.

Remember that Gimp is a raster editor and works internally with pixels and not real-world units. However, you are using inches. In the crop tool options Ignore the fixed option, that works with pixels. Make a crop area on the canvas, anywhere, any size. 1. Position; set the values to 0 , 0 Click in the little box and you can edit these values. 2. Size: Set the units to inches in the drop down box 3. Size: Set the Size to 8 and 10. The crop adjusts as screenshot 1. 4. With the crop tool still active, click in the canvas and move the crop area as required. screenshot 2 rich: www.gimp-forum.net Attachments: * http://www.gimpusers.com/system/attachments/585/original/01.jpg * http://www.gimpusers.com/system/attachments/586/original/02.jpg -- rich2005 (via www.gimpusers.com/forums) ___ 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
