Please help. thanks --big snip >Conceal the trickery by flipping the clipart vertically :-) >Unless someone has a better solution? >-- >Bertrand You can get a 'reasonable' result in Gimp. The colours actually select quite well and I found painting over with a large brush better than a bucket fill. Still those annoying pixels around the dark blue area spoil it. A better solution? Best results by far were with inkscape so maybe OP should consult the inkscape people. my attempt here http://imgur.com/UPWO2 >___ >Gimp-user mailing list >Gimp-user@lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU >https://lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU/mailman/listinfo/gimp-user -- rich (via gimpusers.com) ___ Gimp-user mailing list Gimp-user@lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU https://lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU/mailman/listinfo/gimp-user
[Gimp-user] How to install gimp plugins, scripts?
I've been using gimp under different versions of Fedora Linux for years. I just installed Fedora 14 on a new computer with all the accompanying gimp packages I could think of. I think I included essentially all of them. But I seem to be having problems finding things. 1. I downloaded the Exposure Blend Plugin. I put it in my personal .gimp-2.6/plug-ins directory. The instructions say I can find it by going to [Toolbox]/Xtns/Photography/Exposure Blend... I can't find Xtns in the toolbox. Where should I look for it? 2. I downloaded pandora-combine-0.9.3.scm and put it as instructed in my personal .gimp-2.6/scripts directory. But I can't find it in gimp. I suppose I'm just being stupid, but I've used pandora before, so this is rather frustrating. -- Leonard Evens l...@math.northwestern.edu Professor Emeritus, Department of Mathematics, Northwestern University ___ Gimp-user mailing list Gimp-user@lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU https://lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU/mailman/listinfo/gimp-user

I just had a look at that script and it shows (script-fu-menu-register "script-fu-pandora-combine" _"/Filters/Combine") So did you look Image->Filters->Combine? -- Owen ___ Gimp-user mailing list Gimp-user@lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU https://lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU/mailman/listinfo/gimp-user

That produced the following message. Plug-in "script-fu" (/usr/lib64/gimp/2.0/plug-ins/script-fu) attempted to register the menu item "/Filters/Combine" for procedure "script-fu-pandora-combine". The menu label given in gimp_install_procedure() already contained a path. To make this work, pass just the menu's label to gimp_install_procedure(). ___ Gimp-user mailing list Gimp-user@lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU https://lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU/mailman/listinfo/gimp-user
