 Select by color, Select-Grow, fill with the color, repeat for each color?

While filling DON'T use bucket - You'll end up with thin white lines
inside Your county.
Use brush and You'll get nice sharp borders.

Other option is:
1) Use wand (Press [u]), click on county
2) Set county's color as foreground color (press [o], click on county)
3) Turn selection into path (icon in paths card/window)
4) Deselect county / select all (press [control] + [a])
5) Paint along the path (icon in paths card/window) - in pop up window
You select thickness of line.
6) Repeat steps 1 to 5 for each color (for each county)

Good luck

Re: [Gimp-user] Restricting tool movement along a single axis

 Like View/Snap to active path?

 (which suffers two probems as far as I know: 1) you cannot set the
 capture radius like you can for guides and canvas edges, and 2) it
 doesn't work in the path editor... where it would be most useful.

Would You please explain why.

I'm not sure how serious this problems are.
Whether it is impossible to set capture radius due to some Gimp/GTK
internal restriction or we haven't try it yet?

I'm open to any suggestions: how both of us could keep our desired workflow.

Re: [Gimp-user] Restricting tool movement along a single axis

2013-10-30 Thread Dominik Tabisz
hi

Such tool option: move by guide / move by path would be appreciated.
One thing is primary problem: moving tool or handle (like in
perspective tool) along single axis. Something like this (or adjusting
behavior while pressing Ctrl) would be really usefull.

Another thing is to look at this problem from different point of view.
IMHO we deal with one example of slightly different problem.
Maybe developement is in so early stage that I could suggest slightly
different approach.

Imagine that we put on our graphic tablet  triangle (or any
other tool from technical drawing tradition). We could get desired
effect of restricting pointer movement. In fact we'd restrict
tablet/pointer movement to the edge of template/ruller.

In digital graphic we use guides, mesh, paths or selection/quick mask.
Each of these tools behave like our virtual template but for different
tasks. They mostly affect tools.
Why dont make one tool that will affect not tools, but pointer? Why
don't add easily adjustable input for this new tool - like paths? We
could use predefined pointer restricting paths or easily prepare new
one by preparing such path in Gimp, Inkscape or any other path
creating software.

Don't get me wrong - i like idea of improving tools. I would like even
more improving them in more user adjustable way. And i'm pretty aware
that every such change will have dramatic consequences in someones
workflow.

For example Ofnuts mentioned handle behavior in perspective tool.
I understand - it's frustrating when You have to precisely catch
center of the handle and later move it to guides.

On the other hands this behavior let me catch any point within
selection and position it in new place. I do a lot such things while
adjusting perspective in photographs of paintings, documents etc. - In
photographs of my painting i catch the corner of painting, not the
corner of photo.

I do simple perspective correction to guides -
everything around painting will be cut away later. I dont want to
reshape selection at this stage, because later another tool is applied
(bent between paths).

While leaving this behavior as it is - i'll save my fast correction
technique, and Ofnuts will be dissapointed. While changing it to
automatic moving center of nearest handle to exact pointer location,
problem mentioned by Ofnuts will be solved ... and I'll lost my
primary tool.
When we get some modifier key, that will allow to move pointer to
center of a handle instead of moving the handle itself - we will both
get our desired functionality.
This compromise require change in thinking - we could use pointer as
input device, and modify it's XY input.

Is such change in understanding pointer behavior possible? Or we are
sentenced to compete which workflow, which task is more important?
Hope we can find a compromise that will be possible to code.

Re: [Gimp-user] Layer Opacity Access Point(s) Madness

2013-08-31 Thread Dominik Tabisz
3D view could be a solution for powerfull PC, not for too big image
on too little ram.

Would it be possible to use one program with many UIs? Let's say i
start GIMP and can switch between single window mode, multiple window
mode. Within each of this mode there could be next switch to see
content in normal structure or 3D view.

It reminds ideas like 3D goopher or Compiz - nice shiny toy to hang
computer. Gimp is image editing software - it operate on files that
need lot of ram. All this 3D features would just add another demands
for hardware. At least leave an option to disable them.
Otherwise we might end up with insane paradox: Apple workstation and
Photoshop CS 666 will be cheaper option than hardware capable of
running Gimp 6.66

I don't want to offend anyone - just trying to remind You, that every
feature has its cost - no matter whether we count it in hardware
resources or in money. If You manage to create additional alternative
UI for Gimp - great, if You make normal Gimp more expensive just to
get few visible clues - this is controversial.

 that's a tough question. And where to set the opacity threshold when

 Things become worse with blend modes like multiply, when there is no way to
 determine which layer is
 on top just by looking at the canvas. For example, a bottom black layer can
 appear as if it were on
 top of a multiply-mode layer:

 On the solutions side, it has been suggested to tilt the canvas in 3D to
 make the layer stack
 accessible:
 http://gimp-brainstorm.blogspot.de/2008/06/3d-layers.html
 This scheme works surprisingly well for analysing the hierarchical structure
 of HTML documents:
 https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Tools/3D_View#Controlling_the_3D_view

 One might also think of digging into the layer stack analogous to digging
 into the earth which
 reveals the stratigraphy of rock layers.


 just brainstorming,

Re: [Gimp-user] HATE the new save vs. export behavior

2013-07-31 Thread Dominik Tabisz
 If you know how to run this kind of commands, surely you know that you
 need *-dev packages installed to build anything? :)


This is the only real issue with GIMP - dependencies and dance with
*-dev packages.
I use mostly 2.6 instead of 2.8 because of this. And i swear a lot
because 2.6 lack: layer groups and new save/export behavior.

Is this good thread to discuss potential improvement / feature for new
export function?
(i don't mean politics like: turn it back to Gimp 2.6 way rather
something like: why not give little more features to export,
while remaining save as it is in Gimp 2.8?)

2013-07-13 Thread Dominik Tabisz
It seem that similar problem appear on many versions of GIMP, 2.6,
2.21, 2.7.*, 2.8
another instance where it occurs is using mouse/touchpad and tablet
simultanously (my case)

Is this particular problem happening on GNU/Linux or You encountered
it on another OS?

2013/7/13, ArRaf for...@gimpusers.com:
if you're using a tablet, there should be other entries in the menu as
well, representing different parts of the tablet (stylus, eraser,
buttons, etc. ; though they may not be labeled as obviously). Try
setting the one for the stylus to screen.
Also, make sure you have used your tablet before starting gimp (for
example by using the stylus to launch gimp), or else it won't get
recognized by the program.

 Ok, I've set them to screen, and I have restarted the program. The result
 is
 still the same, still no respond from any kind of tools. Also, the cursor
 location updates started messing up, and the cursor is blinking or some
 sort.
 Retried this a few times, still showing the same result

i've encountered similar problem in GIMP 2.6 while saving however i

If You're able to replicate this behavior try to
1) open terminal
2) run GIMP in this terminal
3) Replicate this behaviour
4) Look at the error messages in the terminal.
This error messages might give some information what exactly is failing

Re: [Gimp-user] GIMP 2.8x on Linux Debian Squeeze?

2013-05-12 Thread Dominik Tabisz
Hi
Some time ago i tried both compiling Gimp 2.8 on Squeeze, and
installing Debian Testing ... to see what's wrong with my attempt to
compile Gimp 2.8.

To make long thing short - problems with compilation are caused by
dependencies of Gimp 2.8 dependencies. At some moment You end up with
upgrading gcc and half other system libraries. If only You can install
wheezy it should solve most of Your troubles.

There is one possible workaround: one user of this mailing list
approached similar problem on FreeBSD. Solution was building Gimp and
all it's dependencies in jail.
This way system was stable and Gimp 2.8 had all needed dependencies inside jail.
Unfortunately i can't remember where this instruction was and whether
it can be ported to Debian.

 I have 2.6 and 2.8 on the a Mint (like Ubuntu/Debian) system.

 There's a build script floating around somewhere, but I can't seem to
 find it now (and it required heavy modification, at least for my
 system anyway).

 There's this:
 http://wiki.gimp.org/index.php/Hacking:Building/Linux

 I think the biggest thing to remember is to remember to prefix
 everything with /opt or /home/YOU/gimp/ - ie *not* put it into /usr or
 /usr/local/.

 'apt-get build-dep gimp' should bring in several -dev packages you'll
 need.  The rest will need to be compiled and installed in /opt or
 wherever.

 It's been some months since I went through this - I'm probably
 forgetting a few things, but the short answer is yes, you can compile
 and install 2.8 without removing 2.6.  There are quite a dew deps to
 work through, but keep the additions outside of your system path and
 you should be fine.

 nearly all big websites use light colors.

 The big search engines started to penalise dark sites, so it was a money

 The reason was that people would set the background to black in a

 The other problem was that before CSS was widely implemented you

 up white on a white background.

 Actually if you use the evolution mail program you may still run into
 this with gtk styles in gnome 2, and also if you have a dark gtk theme
 you'll find logging in to ebay trickier than before.

 In general, though, dark backgrounds are good for image processing. For
 text, for years ASCII terminals were made with green text on a black
 background to reduce eye fatigue - or possibly because it was cheaper,

 A lot of it will depend on your immediate environment, the brightness

Re: [Gimp-user] Creating Transparent WaterMark

2013-04-14 Thread Dominik Tabisz

 . I'm not sure how to save it as a new pattern.
 Can
 you help me with that?

You don't need anything complicated. Do it simple way:


When Your watermark is on separate layer, the easiest way is to copy
this layer to a new file and save it. Later You just:
1)open this file with watermark only,
2)select all and
3)copy to a new layer in files, You want to protect.
It's fast and effective solution. That's partly my way.
I don't care about opacity and mode so much - i adjust it every time
to get desired effect.


What is important: Your watermark will have some resolution and size.
When You'll get Your watermark in new file - crop it to eliminate
unnecessary space around.
While copying watermark as a new layer it's easier to position it or
resize when there's no unnecessary empty space around.

If You want to have slightly better theft detterent:
Put some gradient, or any kind of changing tones on watermark image.
It's ugly but when You play with modes, and flatten watermarked
photography ... it is rather hard to undo.
For each photo You adjust mode and opacity individually (to reduce the
ugliness of watermark). Just forget that Gimp can remember mode and
opacity of a layer.

2013/2/21, Dominik Tabisz d.kup...@gmail.com:
 All the arguments about encouraging/forcing users to non destructive
 workflow are reasonable, but there is one tiny problem. I've
 encountered it while cooperating with professional users of
 CorelDraw (design studios, marketing companies etc.)

 Corel can understand bunch of vector-based fileformats. It can import
 them, it can write into them. So in theory i could prepare image in
 *.eps or *.svg and it can be later processed in Corel.
 In fact any images that was not in native CorelDraw fileformat was
 rejected. (Even images from Adobe Illustrator !)

 Reason was simple: Corel open only it's native files (*.cdr). You can
 launch Corel and later import *.ai, *.svg, *.ps but You can not just
 navigate to such file and double click it to edit. You can't open them
 from command line too.
 This mean that professional corel users were forced to THINK ...
 they just choose to reject Your graphics.


 We can improve programs, we can create better images but we're unable
 to change peoples (un)thinking habbits. Please imagine what harm to
 trade and workflow can arise from proposed improvement of open/import
 behaviour.

 If You really believe that this change is necessary, there should be
 way of avoiding disaster that happened to Proffesional Corel Users.

 Let me give some proposition:
 1)Gimp always open/import any type of file, it can understand. No
 matter if we ask program to do so from it's menu, command line or just
 click file in file commander.
 2) After Gomp start and examine the file there are two possibilities:
 a) file is an *.xcf so Gimp just open it.
 b) file is not *.xcf - Gimp show the message and ask for permission
 to import it.

 If proposed change don't stop launching Gimp and opening/importing any
 file just by selecting it in a file commander, than You can hope it
 won't do so much harm to the bussines as Corel behaviour did.
 All differences would be one click more and Gimp remain universal image
 editor.

 I hope that we're not going to redefine meaning of word
 professional. Corel disaster shows that new meaning of this word is:
 someone who have ability to reject Your work. Don't let such
 redefinition happen in Free Software ecosystem.

  From the start of GIMP 2.8 there are rumors about Save vs. Export.
 It is a change with the past, but that has happened more times by
 changing versions.
 The first version of the GIMP that i started (i believe 1.2) came up
 with a single toolbox and nothing more.
   And i survived all the changes that came after that.
 To make the changes more visible for the users is it possible to add
 to the various Save options
 in the File Menu that this will happen in XCF format?
 As in:

 --
 | File   |
 ||
 | New image  |
 | ...|
 ||
 | Save to XCF|
 | Save to XCF as ... |

Re: [Gimp-user] Fw:

2012-12-02 Thread Dominik Tabisz
First we need some more info:
1) What operating system are You using
2) Wchich version of GIMP - do You mean Gimp 2.0 ? Or Gimp 2.6 or 2.8
or something else.

I can only gues that You mean Gimp 2.8 on some M$ Windows system ...
probably You deleted some system files before and now system don't
know what to remove.
It's just gues  i've forgoten where i lost my crystall ball.

However if i guess correctly what happened, one proven way was to
manually clean registry, and later remove unnecessary files.

 I am trying to remove GIMP2 from my computer, but when I click on
 REMOVE, I get a message error stating that File C is missing and it does not
 remove.

 Please tell me how to remove it.  I don't use it and it is taking up too
 much space.

 Thank you,

Re: [Gimp-user] Sticky state of windows in Gimp 2.8

2012-11-17 Thread Dominik Tabisz
hi

it might be issue related to comunication between GIMP and Your window
manager. Which one do You use? KDE, GNOME, LXDE, Fluxbox or something
else?

Please give us some more info:
1) Which window manager do You use
2) Which display manager do You use (gdm/kdm/xdm or other)

3) Have You tried to use GIMP in *any* other window manager. If yes,
whether the problem still exist in other Wm.



2012/11/17, nitram2001 for...@gimpusers.com:
 I have recently upgraded to Fedora 17 and now have Gimp 2.8 as a
 consequence.

 As a user of Gnu/Linux I am used to using multiple workspaces, a separate
 workspace for each job in hand but have found that the behaviour of Gimp 2.8
 is
 not to my liking. With Gimp set up in workspace 6 (say) the Gimp dialogs
 for
 layers, tools, tool options etc. appear in my other 5 workspaces cluttering
 them
 up. I have found no way to remove the sticky state of these little
 windows. I
 have no problem handling the sticky state with windows of any other
 application
 and I have had no problem with previous versions of Gimp.

 Please help me find a way to remove the sticky state from these windows.

Re: [Gimp-user] Wacom pens with rotation supported ?

2012-05-14 Thread Dominik Tabisz
Olivier could you pleas tell whether You use this in GNU/Linux or other OS?

I'm considering new tablet, that supports pen rotation but big problem
is to find something that's both affordable and works with GNU/Linux

Thanks
Dominik

 Since we're on this topic, does anyone have any recommendations
 for good artpad/pen sets to buy? Used, good price, etc?
 I have an old Wacom/Intuos1 pad, and have lost it's pen, and
 was thinking about finding a replacement, but on second thought
 I figured it's probably a waste of time and should look for a newer
 set that can make use of newer features?
 Thanks.
 Dan

It's used for this one too.

Your link does not work for me, but I know the Art Pen. I'm using it
with the Wheel parameter.

 OK, thanks Olivier, that's great news !
