 Announcing Stitch Panorama 0.9.2 (Beta)
 
 Stitch Panorama 0.9.2 is a beta version of a GIMP plug-in which
 creates a panorama from two images.  The plug-in is written in Python,
 and requires that you have a GIMP with python support.  The beta
 version of this plug-in is now available at sourceforge.net
 (http://sourceforge.net/projects/stitchpanorama/).  It was developed
 with GIMP version 2.2.4 on a FC3 linux system.  It may or may not work
 with other versions of GIMP and other operating systems, but I'd like
 to know if anyone is successful at running this plug-in.


Well that was quite good, so thank you. Here I have 2.2.6 on Mdk-10.1

I had previously done a manual stitch of a couple of photos, but the plug in 
did a far better job.

See http://www.pcug.org.au/~rcook/Gimp/ for the stitching effort of this script 
compared to my original.

[Gimp-user] compiling gap

2005-05-13 Thread Andrew
Good morning,
When trying to encode with gap using ffmpeg I get the following message:
Call of Required Plugin plug_in_gap_enc_ffmpeg failed
I installed ffmpeg.0.4.8 from source with --enable-shared. (But it seems 
I went wrong somewhere).

Also,
when running autogen for gimp-gap (cvs) I am told there are no libmpeg3 
header files to be found. I installed libmpeg3-1.5.4 (from Heroine 
Warrior) with configure, then make, then make install. Should I perhaps 
have done something more?

This is a Slackware-10.0 system with gimp 2.2.8 from cvs.
TIA,
Andrew

Re: [Gimp-user] Re: enlightenment traps ALT. what to do?

2005-05-13 Thread Tim Olsen
I think I figured it out.  If I hold down CTRL+ALT, release ALT, and
then click, gimp sets just a vertical guide.  That's weird; I would
have thought releasing CTRL would have done it since ALT is the key
for setting a vertical guide.

  the 0.17 version.

 Subject: RE: [Gimp-user] Re: Nobody does it better


  Here are some things I found I couldn't do with PhotoShop
  Elements and I'm sure
  someone will correct me if they are possible with the
  full-blown PhotoShop:

  *)  Take screenshots.  I often take screenshots of Gimp or
  other apps, if not
  the desktop.  The cool thing about doing it *within* the
  graphics app is I can
  immediately scale, resize, or otherwise manipulate the image
  without having to
  use one app to take the screenshot and another to do the manipulation.

 On my PC with Photoshop I simply press Print Screen on my keyboard, go
 into Photoshop, make a new image and ctrl+v to paste the screenshot.
 When making a new image (e.g. File/New), the screenshot dimensions are
 automatically detected. If I didn't have this basic PRNT SCREEN
 capability working, or I wanted a more automation with multiple
 screenshots, I would probably use HyperSnap DX or some other screenshot
 program.

I'd be surprised if Adobe Photoshop Elements didn't work the same as its
big brother, in most cases is does.  I'd be inclinded to say it is six of
one half dozen of the other and in my opinion it is difficult to say which
approach is better.

I plan on keeping an old version of the GIMP around for a very long time,
and the extra feature that allowed you to take screenshots excluding
window decorations is one of the reasons for that (sure I could read the
XWD man page but why would I want to?).  (I'm also hoping Glade will add
functionality to batch convert Glade files to PNG screenshots which would
significantly change the way I do things and save me a whole lot of effort
when it comes to taking screenshots.)

Screenshots is one of those features where Adobe have passed off the job
to the Operating System which keeps things relatively simple.  The GIMP
offers a few extra features but I think it is difficult to say that one
approach is inherently better. (The developers of the gnome screenshot
applet has command line options to take only the current window and add a
delay but they are still considering how best to present that information
to users in a simple straightforward way.)

 Seems like a lot of GIMP users are interested in taking screenshots and
 sharpening them... what gives? =)

I try and use a flat low colour theme sharp looking theme for screenshots
and save as PNG.  Jpeg is almost always the wrong file format for
screenshots particularly ones with any text in them.  If you are taking a
screenshot that contains a photograph and your theme uses a lot of colours
gradients and no text you might just be able to get a reasonable result
but you have already made it very difficult to get compact screenshots
with that of setup.  I expect that users are trying to sharpen screenshots
to compensate for the inappropriate condiditions when taking the
screenshot.



Sven pointed out that the GIMP has support for MIDI devices which as far
as I can tell is not something Adobe Photoshop supports, however I
wouldn't like to assume that the MIDI support provided by the Operating
system doesn't take care of this somehow.

Given their supposedly Neutral Point of view the Wikipedia article on
the GIMP is terribly unbalanced, and I hope someone will take the
positives brought up in this conversation and maybe add them to the
article.  http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_GIMP

(Later I will try and respond to the points Carol made but it was not
clear what she meant and I am particularly short of time today.)

Nice plugin!

Worked nicely on my system:  kernel 2.6.8 on Debian Sid, using Gimp 2.2.

Also nice PDF documentation.  That helps.

It just seemed to work for me through the normal clicking of the links
at sourceforge.net.

If it still doesn't work for you, give this a try:
