[Gimp-user] Save For Web Option?
Hi All, am a rather experienced Linux user for the past 2yrs or so, but, not much with Gimp. I used to use Fireworks/Photoshop on Windows some time back, and am wondering where within Gimp I can just save as for web, and it allows me to resize etc. I can't seem to find that option anywhere in the menus. All I see is, save, save as, save a copy, save as template. I have a 14.5mb file that I need to get to under 500kb or less. Could someone point this non-gui fool in the right direction? Cheers.

Re: [Gimp-user] Save For Web Option?
Hi Mark, Sorry - we don't have it. It wouldn't be hugely difficult - you'd nee a plug-in that can resize, index, save as png, save as gif, save as jpg, with a quality slider, that would show file size and a decent preview for the different formats. But we don't have it. If anyone knows of a decent plug-in that does, I'd be delighted to hear about it. Cheers, Dave.

Store it in .jpg or .png format. By setting the quality parameters you can influence the size.

Re: [Gimp-user] Save For Web Option?
What format your file is? BMP? TIFF? If so, just saving to jpg would make the trick. Mark Sargent wrote: Hi All, am a rather experienced Linux user for the past 2yrs or so, but, not much with Gimp.

[Gimp-user] Window decorations
Hello I've recently upgraded from RHL 7.3 to Fedora, and hence from Gimp version 1.2.3 to version 2.2.10 One thing that has puzzled us is that when doing a 'grab' of a single window (via File-Aquire-Screenshot), there is no longer the option of grabbing a window without decorations (i.e. without its title bar, control buttons etc.). Other than selecting, copying and pasting from the grabbed window in Gimp to exclude the decorations (which is not always accurate and users are complaining) is there a way of getting the 'Without Decorations' button to show as in version 1.2.3 on the Screenshot command? Many thanks Roy ___ Gimp-user mailing list Gimp-user@lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU https://lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU/mailman/listinfo/gimp-user

Many thanks Roy Similar complaint here. No matter how I try to shot just selected area I can't. When cursor turns into crosshair I can't select just desired area of window, but the whole window or screen. ___ Gimp-user mailing list Gimp-user@lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU https://lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU/mailman/listinfo/gimp-user

[Gimp-user] animation problem
Hi, I just installed gimp 2.2.10 on my new Athlon64x2 desktop running windows XP. My small gif animations will run perfectly from filters/animation/playback. All the layers have a subject image near the center of the frames, with a transparent background, with the (replace) attribute enabled. However once I point at the animation and drag it out of the window during play, as soon as the click is done, white areas within all the layers at the intersections of the images, become apparent as they are flipping, which normally are not there when the animation remains in its play window playing perfectly, without being clicked. Anyone know what I'm doing wrong? Thanks, Adly ___ Gimp-user mailing list Gimp-user@lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU https://lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU/mailman/listinfo/gimp-user
