[Gimp-user] Thanks...

2009-01-25 Thread Ajay Gautam
Hello

I want to extend my thanks to the developers of Gimp, the list members
here (who are SO VERY helpful), and the authors of Gimp books. Once I
got my head around the concept of layers, it was so easy and intuitive
to use gimp. I am still a noobie, but one with enough conviction about
the possibilities: all thanks to the wonderful people of the Gimp
world. Yesterday, I created this web banner for a client:
http://www.re-taste.com/catalog/images/banner-feb-09.png - While no
master piece, by any sense of the word, it keeps the clients happy :)

Thanks

Ajay
(PS: I see layers everywhere - Everytime I see one of those mega
banners on the highway, or an advt at the train station, I immediately
break it into layers...)

I cant help but agree with Ajay.
A heartfull thanks to all the individuals who give their time to this project.
I LOVE Gimp! I use it fo a varety of tasks. Anything from just resizing or 
converting things my daughter wants in a better shape, to photo editing.
It so handy.!

And as far as braking things down in layers..
I was a herald in the Society for Creatine Anachronism (SCA) a while back.
I broke every streetsing into heraldic language...
Almost the same thing! :)
It actually helps me now, as i edit and combine images.
I can look at a picture and break it down to major and minor components, and 
thus into layers. VERY handy.

Keep up the wonderful work!!!

[Gimp-user] gtkam-gimp

2009-01-25 Thread Olivier Lecarme
Two different behaviors of gtkam-gimp, in different but very similar
environments: a Debian Sid distribution, and GIMP 2.6.4 installed by
hand. I installed gtkam-gimp with the corresponding Debian packet.

On one computer, the corresponding entries appear in the File menu: Load
from Camera, and Capture from Camera. On the other computer, these
entries are absent.

On the computer where the entries appear, the second one makes the
camera to autofocus, and then what should occur? The first entry opens a
small window with two small rectangles, probably intended for placing
photographs, and no other button or menu.

What am I missing?

The simplest way, in your case, is probably to use the Scale option in
the Paintbrush tool options. Using it with a 76x76 brush, you can get a
brush up to 760x760, which I hope is enough?

Click the New button in the Brushes dialog, and then Edit brush button

 The stripes you're mentioning come from the limited support of bit-depth (8

 As for your crash-problem: I've no idea what the problem of this is or how to
 fix it but you can try if other .deb-packages work instead of the ubuntu 8.10
 out of box-version.
 
 you'll find the link to it on our downloads-section:

After installing Gimp 2.6.4 (plus gimp-data  libgimp),
Gimp was basically working, but as soon as I tried to
use any function from the 'Colors' submenu, Gimp closed
immediately, and with the same error message regarding
gimpbase. As my last resort, I tried to compile 2.6.4,
but here I ran into other problems: libraries that definitely
ARE installed are reported to be missing. So I did what
.configure recommended and used ./configure --disable-python
--without-libtiff. This time, all the Makefiles were created,
yet at the end I got the following:

You need the headers of the libraries. In dpkg or apt-get words, you
need the xxx-dev packages. For example, libpoppler-dev, librsvg-dev, and

As GIMP is able to load quite a few of the brush file formats that
Photoshop uses, you could probably just continue to use your favorite
brushes in GIMP. There are also plenty of additional brushes available
for GIMP. And of course GIMP allows you to easily create your own
brushes:

Re: [Gimp-user] Scaling image via the command line

2009-01-25 Thread Owen
 Hi Tobias, gimp-users,

  I wish to scale the 6MP images from my camera to a smaller size
 say
  600x800 to be loaded into my phone. How can this be done via
 command
  line ? What are the switches (and arguments)  to be used ? I have
  hundreds of images to be scaled. doing this with the GUI is
  impractical.

 A possible solution: ImageMagick - Checkout convert, display, identify
 http://www.imagemagick.org/script/convert.php
 http://www.imagemagick.org/script/command-line-processing.php#geometry

 Here's a *sample* Bash script. Perhaps something like this will work
 in
 your situation. Read up on the options for resizing (see links above).

 Hope this helps.

 #
 # Resize images in current directory using ImageMagick convert command
 declare -r ImageExt=jpg
 declare -r Tag=600x800
 declare -r NewSubDir=resized-${Tag}
 declare -r IMResizeOpt=600x800!

 # Create directories if not already present
 if [ ! -d ${NewSubDir} ]; then
   printf Make subdirectory %s\n ${NewSubDir}
   mkdir ${NewSubDir}
 fi

 # Loop through all files in current folder
 for theCurrentFile in *.${ImageExt}; do
   theNewFile=${NewSubDir}/${theCurrentFile%%.${ImageExt}}-${Tag}.${ImageExt}
   if [ ! -e $theNewFile ]; then
 printf Converting '%s' to '%s'\n ${theCurrentFile}
 ${theNewFile}
 convert -resize ${IMResizeOpt}  ${theCurrentFile}
 ${theNewFile}
   fi
 done

Maybe a modification of this;

==
#!/bin/bash

 for img in *.jpg
do
  convert -sample 25%x25% $img thumb-$img
done

They're just like any other plug-in; they register one or more menu
items that you access them using. A little look at the contents of the
scripts should give you an idea where to find them in the menus.

If they aren't in the appropriate locations, then your gimp-python
installation may be nonexistent or broken.

Hope that helps,

of problem in installing it. i just left it.

*Libgimp version mismatch!

The GIMP binary cannot run with a libgimp version
other than its own. This is GIMP 2.4.5, but the
libgimp version is 2.6.0.

Maybe you have GIMP versions in both /usr and /usr/local ?*
