Thanks Elwin and Olivier; that was it. The meaning must have been reversed in translation from German to English. Olivier, I'm pretty sure the menus have been moved around... I think the only case documented online (in a blog comment) regarded the Filters menu. David, I don't know that option,

2009-04-25 Thread Carusoswi
I am running Gimp 2.6.6 in both Windows XP and Ubuntu (was 8.10, just upgraded to 9.04). It runs fine and I am quite happy with it. I was looking through the latest news about compiling latest GIMP source for Ubuntu 9.04. Since I just installed the upgrade to Ubuntu yesterday, I'm a little

[Gimp-user] Tilable Plasma?

2009-04-25 Thread Chris
I managed to make parchment (with help from a tutorial) by overlaying grayscale plasma on a tan background. But the image is intended as a tilable background, so I want the Tilable option available on some other Cloud filters, like Solid Noise. So is there any tilable filter which is comparable

[Gimp-user] PCD format density?

2009-04-25 Thread John Culleton
Gimp doesn't use PCD format. So I have been trying to convert a PCD image to something Gimp will use, such as tiff or jpg, using the convert program from Imagemagick. I have tried various density settings. Is there a default density to a PCD image? If so, what is it? -- John Culleton Able

Hi This depends on your GTK+ settings -- if you're using GNOME, it often likes to explicitly disable tearoffs; also, the rightclick menu can be different from the menubar in this aspect -- my menubars have no tearoffs, my right-click menu does have tearoffs. David Ah. That's what I

I'm not sure what the corner effect you referred to is, but the seamless option seems to work fine. Although when I experimented with a textual image, it scattered the text all over the image with different opacities - weird. Your second option seems too complex for a newbie like me, and I'm not
