Re: [Gimp-user] Levels tool with Layers
Ok, but, when you merge, do you not lose the ability to go back and fix something that you might decide needs adjusting? Yes, which is why you don't merge until. you're absolutely sure that everything you're merging is to your satisfaction. And if there are a couple of layers which you're not quite certain about yet, one can merge the layers below those, and still reduce the file size. I haven't explored this yet, and may be wrong, but it might just be that if there is one small area that needs a fix, that one can make a layer just big enough to manage the fix, rather than making the layer the full size of the image. One thing that might reduce the size of the file a bit, is that if there is only a small bit of something that needs fixing, to make I would thing that layers in an xcf file would only represent references to adjustments and the underlying file I think a better visualization of layers is to consider them like an overlay on a projector, and that the layer containing the change is independent of the layer to which the change relates, until the two are merged together. I'm just a-wonderin' why the xcf files grow so large. I suspect that becuase you have a number of layers all the same size as the image. Also the size of the file will grow even larger when you start to use layer masks.

Re: [Gimp-user] Logo Text Circle is not available in GIMP 2.6.6...
I wasn't clear in my first post -- Environment: GIMP 2.6.6; Windows 2000 After File - New to create an image, Filters - Alpha to Logo - (all grayed out) But File - Create - Logos - Text Circle works fine. So I raised a false alarm about Logos - Text Circle but Filters - Alpha to Logo are all grayed out. Sorry for the confusion. Try adding an Alpha channel then it should work.

First question to ask is if whether or not you are using the installers for 32 or 64 bit Windows. I am running Gimp 2.6.6 for Windows on 64 bit XP SP3, without any difficulty, though it appears I may have intstalled using the 32 bit version. ns ___ Gimp-user mailing list Gimp-user@lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU https://lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU/mailman/listinfo/gimp-user
