[Gimp-user] looking for a new tool
Out of respect for a friend who suffered too many insults regarding a physical disability, I am switching to another image manipulation program with a more acceptable name. I realize from the FAQ that you're tired of hearing this, and interestingly enough, so was he. http://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/gimp ___ Gimp-user mailing list Gimp-user@lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU https://lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU/mailman/listinfo/gimp-user

[Gimp-user] Merging n everything
ok now heres the deal .. i do knw a tediously long and tiring way to fix this but i was hoping there would be an easier way i have a background image around with i want to add an animated flaming text and a video which i converted to frames already. I have about 70 frames that i want to add, so i made a animated text that lasts 70 frames too... i just thought it was the logical thing to do ... now the way i know around it is to actually manually copy and paste each layer of the xcf i got from saving the animated text onto the each layer in a new xcf with the main background.. but for 70 odd frames that gonna be a pain. and i was thinking it would probably work with the frames i got from the video as well... so is there an easier way out .. im sure there is ... coz i opened the text xcf using open as layers... but dont knw how to merge the whole thing. thanks in advance -- rainman400 (via gimpusers.com) ___ Gimp-user mailing list Gimp-user@lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU https://lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU/mailman/listinfo/gimp-user

File/Open as layers wil insert all the layers from an XCF in the current image. And in that same dialog, you can also select several files so you can load several JPG/PNG/GIF as layers in a single shot... ___ Gimp-user mailing list Gimp-user@lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU https://lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU/mailman/listinfo/gimp-user

[Gimp-user] R Kimber
GIMP is merely an acronym. Referring to a physical handicap as a 'gimp' is almost archaic. It would seem to be a very stupid reason not to avail oneself of such a valuable tool. Maybe Mr Kimber's handicap is in his brain. Thomas J. Hart ___ Gimp-user mailing list Gimp-user@lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU https://lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU/mailman/listinfo/gimp-user

GIMP-GAP plugin does what you want. 1. Convert your text into a GAP animation, 2. Convert your background into a gap animation (duplicate that single frame 69 or however many times -- you can do the whole thing in a few clicks using Video-Duplicate frames) 3. Use GAP's navigator to move to the first frame of both animations (they must both be open in GIMP) 3. Use Video-Move Path, on the 'background' animation. Set the 'from frame..to frame' parameters to cover the entire number of frames and select the text image as source. Depending on whether the dimensions of your text animation match the background, you may also want to adjust the X and Y offsets. For animations of any complexity, I recommend you use GIMP-GAP. The facilities built in to GIMP are really quite basic.
