[Gimp-user] high resolution
Hello Gimp-user-list User manual does not mention resolution. US-Letter template is 300ppi. Setting an image to higher res does not stick. I had used PhotoShop at 1200ppi for edits and merges, then saved final as 300 to 600 dpi for printing. How can I do similar in GIMP?

[Gimp-user] export to non xcf
Hello Gimp-user-list Can't directly save to jpg, so exported. Export to jpg made png. Same for psd. Shouldn't name track chosen format, so no manual override needed?

[Gimp-user] Lost grid
Hello Gimp-user-list I used grid on one file, made a new file, defaulted to no grid. 'Show grid' did not show grid. Alt-f4, restart, still no visible grid. Config had been changed to zero size. I reset to 0.1 inch, still no grid. Have not tried reboot.

[Gimp-user] edit text content and properties
Hello Gimp-user-list One thing Photoshop now does well is to modify text: Select Layer, click, edit... including content, font, and size units. On GIMP2, I can select similarly, but edit options seem not to allow easy change of text or properties. Attempting to highlight or select from text box seems to only let me move box, copy all, paste replace. Without good help, I will need to rebuild pages from scratch.

Re: [Gimp-user] edit text content and properties
Hello Alexandre Thanks for fast response. Sounds logical. Highlighting in place seemed not to work, so I use editor, changed px to pt, found NO CHANGE. Also tried editor with use selected font, no change. Have previously found GIMP to reject my mods, including size/ppi. Is something protected? Also, can one make Use editor the default?

This is because you are trying to to enter text editing mode with the Move tool. Try the Text tool instead. Actually, it's a good point. Automatically entering the text mode from the Move tool after a double click would make sense.

[Gimp-user] re Online Manual
Hello Gimp-user-list Perhaps manual would anticipate more questions to user-list if there were a draft/w.i.p. version to insert notes. For example: 5.20, You can set the default for the rulers in the Image Window Appearance dialog. images differ from latest release. Ex2: Text editing could show link to Rich's http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ChcTE9KROmcfeature=youtu.be. Right now I'm trying to learn what units are in rulers (px?) and how to change (e.g., inches).

Re: [Gimp-user] re Online Manual
Thanks Alexandre So someone could make a DIV with colored border and percentage width, to insert note boxes, much like WORD accepts multi-author notes, comments. I've not used DocBook, but was active in HTML-4.

Re: [Gimp-user] edit text content and properties
Hello Rich group Ok, I've chosen Text-tool, clicked string and highlighted, reset px to pt and large size, and nothing changes. If I press enter or select move tool, string can be erased from box. Ctrl-z brings back string. (1) how can one safely exit the text box? (2) why don't my changes stick? Use editor seemed not to help. On other text boxes, I HAVE succeeded, but don't know what was different. Regards, Don Miller damill...@gmail.com == Monday, October 29, 2012, 12:32:29 PM, you wrote: Hello Rich Good vid, thanks.

Plenty of how-to's around, mine has the advantage of being only 4 minutes. h.t.t.p://youtu.be/ChcTE9KROmc I had to mux this remove the stops One snag with formatted text is once transformed if you go back to edit the text, all the formatting is lost. but Gimp does warn you of this. ___ gimp-user-list mailing list gimp-user-list@gnome.org https://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gimp-user-list
[Gimp-user] layers, new problem with old methods
Hello Gimp-user-list I resized two images, made a new page canvas, copied and pasted both, opened grid. I can only move one image, can't toggle to other. Layer stack commands are all grayed out, except reverse layer order which does nothing. Pg-up/dn keys do nothing. Align does nothing.

If you haven't created new layers from the floating selections you got after pasting, then you now have a still floating selection around.

If this doesn't help and you think somethings else must be the cause, then describe what you're seeing in the layers dialog.

Re: [Gimp-user] layers, new problem with old methods
Hello I started with new file, created a new layer and pasted one half image, repeated with other half image. Still can't get from one layer to another. Layer Stack Reverse Layer Order puts white over the subimages; repeat restores the color. I un-/re-installed gimp, no difference. Last week, I actually was able to move among layers, selectively hide and reveal. I am mystified. Gimp is presently worthless to me.

Add this to the end of your search terms when looking for GIMP help files: site:http://docs.gimp.org/2.8/en/ Local help solution: Go to Edit Preferences Help System, and change Use the online version to Use a locally installed copy. The layers question was already answered. In re printing with the GIMP, that's one for somebody with the same version of MS operating system and the same brand and model family or printer to answer. Saving your image in any convenient format, and printing it with Irfanview, is a pretty much guaranteed solution: http://www.irfanview.com/ Way back when, I always used to set up the GIMP as the default external editor for Irfanview: A very practical combination. :o) Steve ___ 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
