[Gimp-developer] improved drawing modes
the available drawing modes should have these options too (there are plenty (21) drawing modes, but I definitly miss these: ERASE (to be able to erase the drawing (not just one color) with any drawing NEGATIVE -it makes the drawing/editing easier, because when you want to erase something, you do not need to change your tool 2 eraser, but can choose to erase the painting with the brush you currently have. the drawing modes could have an assigned shortcut too. I used to use Aura - professional painting/editor program, now on www.bauhaussoftware.com which really takes the advantage of these modes. More times I realised I do not have to change the tool used, but just the used modes with just a keystroke. what do U think? ssuuddoo ___ Gimp-developer mailing list Gimp-developer@lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU https://lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU/mailman/listinfo/gimp-developer

Could you explain why it would be easier to do this with additional drawing modes instead of using the existing shortcuts to switch to the eraser and then switch back to your previous drawing tool? If you use the existing shortcuts for the tools or if you define new ones, then you only need to press the key for the eraser, erase what you want, and then press the key for the other paint tool to continue drawing. You can do that without having to move the mouse to the tool options and change the paint mode, which is more cumbersome in my opinion. Also, for those who use a drawing tablet, it is much easier to switch tools than to play with drawing modes. -Raphaël ___ Gimp-developer mailing list Gimp-developer@lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU https://lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU/mailman/listinfo/gimp-developer
Re: [Gimp-developer] improved drawing modes
Hi, I know, it sounds like a waste, but trust me, it isnt. I firstly didnt even know what are those drawing modes for, but soon it fastened my work. I suppose they should have a shortcut key too. For example: You draw or edit an image with a simple brush, when you want to erase some stuff, you switch to the eraser, but this one has different brush size, shape, opacity than the first tool. Using different modes like erase and plenty more are efficent. (I admit, some of them I never used - solarise, and other modes, I do not use to use). Maybe I am explaining it wrong, but You can try it for your own. The program I used to work with is named TV Paint Animation, for someone it can be an unknown program, but believe me, it is very strong and when comparing prices you can see: PaintShopPro 105 € Photoshop 264-441 € TV Paint Anim. Pro/Std. 950 € / 475 € GIMPfree OpenSource :) that TVPA is not just a shit-program, but has features that really make work with images draw/edit more efficient. let me know what do U think ssuuddoo On Fri, 22 Feb 2008 10:49:48 +0100, Raphaël Quinet [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: On Fri, 22 Feb 2008 10:17:26 +0100, Radoslav Schudich [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: the available drawing modes should have these options too (there are plenty (21) drawing modes, but I definitly miss these: ERASE (to be able to erase the drawing (not just one color) with any drawing NEGATIVE -it makes the drawing/editing easier, because when you want to erase something, you do not need to change your tool 2 eraser, but can choose to erase the painting with the brush you currently have.

Re: [Gimp-developer] improved drawing modes
Hi, I admit that if Erase were a paint mode, I would use it much more. The eraser tool, I generally find does not happen to have brush settings convenient to my current task, and so i find it cumbersome. So, I think that erase as a paint mode is a good idea. I do not understand this 'Negative' paint mode, Radoslav, and I think you need to explain it. Now that we are speaking of paint modes, I know that I would personally find very useful one that recolors FG colored pixels to BG color.

Re: [Gimp-developer] Pygtk errors at startup
Hi, I just built GIMP on Mac OS X 10.4.11 from the latest svn sources but when I launch it I get these errors at startup (however, GIMP seems to run regardless): cube15:/Volumes/datacube/svn/gimp/trunk ep$ This is a development version of GIMP. Debug messages may appear here.
