[Gimp-user] Re: Printing with the Gimp 1.2.3

 It all works but I don't understand..
 
 Under debian woody I have the gimp 1.2 and gimp-print. I've set my
 Epson 640 printer as my default printer by means of magicfilter
 according to the following scheme:
 
 1) lp is 360 dpi
 2) lp720 is 720x720 dpi
 3) lp1440 is 1440x720 dpi
 
 Now, using the print command under the gimp I have (tentatively)
 selected in 'setup printer' the epson 640 as my printer, and lp as my
 printer name.
 
 It works! But I find it all a bit confusing
 
 I mean I've chosen lp (which is 360 dpi to me) and I've selected other
 resolutions than the 1). Then why should I tell the Gimp what my
 printer is? Isn't already selected by magicfilter? Shouldn't be enough
 to select printer name only (either lp, or lp720 or lp1440)?
 
 Is there anyone out there able to explain the basic of printing with
 the gimp?
 
 Ciao
 Vittorio

Re: [Gimp-user] Problems with Mandrake 9.0

2002-10-31 Thread Judy Wilson
I'm having *exactly* the same problem when using the paint tool or the
clone tool. I posted this problem recently, but your description was
more accurate.  And, yes, it started happening with Mandrake 9.0.  

My husband, the geek in the family, says it's probably a problem with
XFree86, the graphic system, and we have to wait for a fix. It's
difficult when trying to edit and graphic and it does what you want
but doen't render that way!

Glad you posted this problem.

 Hi all,
 
 Has anybody else experienced problems when trying to change the color of
 individual pixels when creating or editing a graphic?
 When I try to change the color of individual pixels using the pencil (
 with the smallest *point*) the pixel may or may not actually change;
 sometimes, actually quite often, the pixels are changed in a seemingly
 random order, substituting the surrounding pixels instead of the one that
 I clicked on (if I drag the pencil, then blocks of pixels are randomly
 changed).

It's quite strange as the problem doesn't exist in other *graphic* apps
such as KPaint.
I'm not sure if Xfree in 9.0 is a different version from Mandrake's 8.2

 In one of my previous installations of Gimp there was a font in

 Does anyone remember the font, and have a current source of

[Gimp-user] raw file format

2002-10-31 Thread Hamid Ghadyani

Hi there,
Is there any way to open Photoshop raw format in Gimp ?
I can't convert it in photoshop to some other format, because the raw
files are being generated by a code of mine.
Any input is appreciated.

Hamid

[Gimp-user] Interesting illusion

Thought you might enjoy this--very amusing! The illusion is a checkerboard
with a white and black square being the same color because of a shadow.

Re: [Gimp-user] Re: Printing with the Gimp 1.2.3

2002-10-31 Thread Rory Grant
This is the way I understand it.  

When you hit the 'setup printer' button in the print dialogue, you will
notice 2 fields.  One is  selection box where Epson Stylus 640 will be
highlighted, and the other is a printer command line.  This says
something like 'lp -s -d lp -o raw', or 'lpr -s -P lp -o raw'.  
The first argument indicates that you want silent output from the print
system (ie. no reporting on the job to STDOUT).  The second argument
indicates which print queue to send the job to.  
The third argument is the vital one here:  it tells your printing
system that the output being sent is in raw printer language and not to
filter it through Ghostscript or magicfilter or whatever.
Basically, Gimp-Print converts the raster image from Gimp into the raw
printer format for the model selected in the first field above.
Resolution, colour and other options are set by Gimp-Print, then sent
straight to the printer device, bypassing your system settings.

I hope you can understand that through my verbosity!
