[Gimp-user] New Tablet
I just got a brand new intuos pen tablet (no touch capabilities). I am running Windows 7 and Gimp 2.8.14, and the tablet's drivers are all installed. However, when I check the Edit Input Devices and Edit PreferencesInput DevicesConfigure Extended Input Devices, the tablet doesn't show up. I can use it without pressure sensitivity, but it'd be MUCH nicer if I could get it to respond to pressure.

Re: [Gimp-user] gimp users matter
I actually go through this process frequently--I create a webcomic, and I like to work on a large file (about 3000x4000). To publish it to the web I resize to 750 px wide. I like to have both copies, but a Resize-on-Export function would be helpful for me. In order to preserve the xcf and not accidentally lose that large-size data, my current workflow is: Save the xcf Export it, full-size Open the export (usually a png) Resize the png export the png to another file name. I can do that fairly quickly with keyboard shortcuts, but if I were to have the option to resize, I could create both copies (large-size and small-size) from the original xcf.

Ordinarily I would think this was a feature request and wouldn't have bothered for 2.8, but I've seen you do a lot of other things I would have thought would count as feature requests. And the problem IS a result of something you changed in a point release (2.8.4, I believe). So I'd really appreciate a 2.8 release with a close view button in single window mode. Either that, or at least an option to always show tabs, even if you only have one view open.

Re: [Gimp-user] Putting a GIF on top another GIF
It sounds like you're getting some of the same problems I've had. With Gimp-gifs, each layer is a frame. The white frames are probably white full-screen layers. What I do is just take a picture of the frame that I want (front, middle, and back in the correct positions) by pressing Ctrl+Shift+V. That copies the visible. Then I put all the frames I want in order--frame 1=layer 1, frame 2=layer 2. It's tedious, and there are probably better solutions, but that's mine.

Very frustrating when I want to adjust something underneath to match it while it is still a separate layer (and I would like to keep it a separate layer, too). You can indeed. I used to have to go and click the New Layer button every time until I discovered this handy shortcut: Ctrl+Shift+N It makes your floating selection a new layer without having to move away from the target area!

You can, however, use the bracket keys [ and ] to change the size 1 pixel at a time. It's a little tedious, but it can go quite quickly and will always adjust in whole numbers. I also like to do it because it doesn't require selecting it with my mouse and breaking up my drawing flow.

Dear all: Can I setup the the maximum value of brush size slider to 25? Thank you. Best Regards, Minhsien0330 ___ No, but you are correct that the lack of PRECISION click-and-drag adjustments to brush size is a serious annoyance on the end user. Sure, there's not much PRACTICAL difference between a 25-pixel brush and a 25.4 pixel (especially when using pressure dynamics on a tablet), but that extra 0.4px is just going to sit there in the back of your mind, slowly gnawing away at your sanity -- Stratadrake strata_ran...@hotmail.com Numbers may not lie, but neither do they tell the whole truth. ___ gimp-user-list mailing list gimp-user-list@gnome.org https://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gimp-user-list ___ gimp-user-list mailing list List address:gimp-user-list@gnome.org List membership: https://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gimp-user-list
[Gimp-user] Fwd: My GIMP is frozen or something.

To: AngelDemonSakura for...@gimpusers.com Do you have this problem when you first open? Are you able to make a new file? The keyboard shortcut is Ctrl+N ...if that helps at all...

[Gimp-user] Gradients
I have recently discovered that there is more to gradients in GIMP than I had previously thought: the different varieties of pre-sets, as well as the off-set tool. Are there any other cool tricks that anybody knows? How to make a new gradient of your own? Any other cool stuff? (Being able to manipulate gradients would be cool.) I'm just an amateur, so I'm not trying to say new stuff needs to be added--I'm just trying to learn.

Re: [Gimp-user] Troubles in the Toolbox
I know this doesn't solve your problem, but a handy shortcut to use to change the size of your brush (or pencil or whatever) are the bracket keys [ ] . The left bracket makes it smaller and the right one enlarges it. Good luck! mfisher On Mon, Apr 22, 2013 at 4:48 AM, Alexandre Prokoudine alexandre.prokoud...@gmail.com wrote: On Mon, Apr 22, 2013 at 1:43 PM, Sue wrote: Hello :) I am new to this list, so hello all! My problem is this. I consider myself an intermediate user of GIMP. I know the basics, can do some fun stuff with it, but a lot of the program goes unused. I have left the toolbox and stuff as it comes on a fresh install. My problem is the details box I guess, is missing from the toolbox. If I click on say, the paintbrush tool, I can change the shape of the tool, but not the size. I used to be able to click to paint under and all sorts of neat stuff. Now? I can't change the size.

Re: [Gimp-user] Creating Transparent WaterMark
You can create an image or text layer to hold your watermark. Once that's ready, set the opacity (a sliding bar found just above the layers) to whatever you'd like. If that doesn't quite create the effect you want, you can try adjusting the Mode (just above the opacity bar). Try combining them until you get what you're after. Good luck!

Re: [Gimp-user] I have a shaped image (in this case 3D text) with a transparant background. How do I overlay a gritty texture layer on the shaped image only?
Set your layer with the texture on it to different modes--I don't really know what would work best for this, but if you just try going through the list you should find what you're looking for. I always kind of enjoy seeing how the different modes look, anyway :) Good luck!

HOW YOU MUST TEACH ME animatrix1490 In the layers tab, next to the icon where you can create a new layer, there is a little folder icon. When you click it, it creates a group layer where you can have multiple layers under the group. it is really handy when you have tons of layers. You can make multiple groups for each part of the piece. -- Montrosity (via www.gimpusers.com/forums) ___ gimp-user-list mailing list gimp-user-list@gnome.org https://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gimp-user-list ___ gimp-user-list mailing list gimp-user-list@gnome.org https://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gimp-user-list
