[Gimp-user] integrity of distorted images

2013-09-25 Thread kev

Hi Gimp Folk,

Just started to explore gimp. Have an application for distortion 
effects, but need to know the following. If I create a square (jpeg) 
that is exactly 50% black and 50% white and then distort the image 
using, for example 'i warp' or 'whirl  pinch', will the colour 
proportions of the resultant image still be exactly 50/50?


Hoping some tech minded person can confirm and explain this ??

Why don't you try yourself? Use the Histogram dialog to check the result 
(I'm pretty sure the ratio is not kept)?

How do I get a clean white background with GIMP when displaying items on my 
website.




You have to replace the background in your picture with transparency.

How this is done depends a lot on the picture. Experienced photographers 
take the picture for that purpose, in a light tent or against a 
illuminated/overblown white background, which can be kept (it will be 
pure white) or is very easy to remove (in some cases they use a 
completely black background instead).


Typically removing a random background against a random subject isn't 
very easy and is rather time consuming. In Gimp you can use the 
Foreground selector (that works very well in some cases) or the 
intelligent scissors. Work on the original size (scale down for you web 
site after removing the background).

[Gimp-user] GIMP being sold.

2013-09-25 Thread Glenn Christine Bumford

I've enjoyed using GIMP for some time but came across this today.

http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/Photo-Image-Editing-for-Adobe-Photoshop-CS-6-7-8-10-11-Elements-Full-Retail-user-/141063615708?hash=item20d80bf4dc

My understanding is that GIMP is free but if you look closely at the 
interface it looks just like GIMP.
Hopefully this ends up with someone concerned with development as I 
couldn't find a specific addy for this situation (If there is one)


Regards
Glenn.

False advertising... this is Gimp 2.8 and it says it runs on Win98/ME... 
(not sure about WinNT and Win2000 status, either)

 There is no problem with selling GIMP in and of itself.

Source code must, however, be made available; I've contacted the ebay
seller to ask about that. Making it available may be as simple as
pointing people to ftp.gimp.org if there are no modifications.
