[Gimp-user] Install on Solaris 8
Downloaded successfully, compiled successfully, and working fine. Except cannot open a png. Search, found the pnglib for Solaris. Downloaded and added the png library, went in properly to /usr/local/lib. But GIMP still cannot open a png. Can anyone offer a why not? -- Thanks-- Jim Clark ___ Gimp-user mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.xcf.berkeley.edu/mailman/listinfo/gimp-user

[Gimp-user] how to correct optical distortions of wide-angle lenses?
Hi folks, is there a way to correct optical distortions of wide-angle lenses ( most annoing within architectural pics ) using gimp ? I'm dreaming of something like stetching the upper side, interpolate all the pixel-lines down to the bottom-line (which remains unstretched) and then cutting away the resulting triangles on the left and right side to restore the original size of the scan. I didn't find a hint how to do that till now. Perhaps somebody knows about some script-fu module(s) or docs i am missing or didn't find yet. Thanks in advance Peter ___ Gimp-user mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.xcf.berkeley.edu/mailman/listinfo/gimp-user

Peter, That's an interesting idea. Have you thought of doing the correction as you take the photograph? If you keep the film plane parallel to the front of the building you won't have the distortion. Without a full, tilt-and-swing bellows arangement on your camera, you can do it by choosing the proper lens and shooting position. Of course, sometimes you just cannot get to the right position. :-) Good luck! Rich Dr. Richard B. Shepard, President Applied Ecosystem Services, Inc.

But i do not own a camera that is capable of that (SINAR,Rollei, etc). These would be too heavy, complicated and time-consuming to be used at holliday-trips. I'm using a Minolta 800si and a SIGMA-Zoom (28-200). As long as i had time enough to convert my bathroom into a darkroom for days, i used a method like this to correct that distortion when exposing the prints. So i thought this could be done mathematically on the pixels in RAM. There are more than needed for a close to chemical-print since i got a Canon FS4000 filmscanner. thanks for your Mail Peter -- Peter Buckenleib Am Europakanal 8 91056 Erlangen Tel: 09131 992234 Fax: 09131 791045 Mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] ___ Gimp-user mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.xcf.berkeley.edu/mailman/listinfo/gimp-user
Re: [Gimp-user] GIMP 1.2.3-pre2 and fonts question
i wonder if Filters -Render -Dynamic Text or if you were to install the gimp-freetype plug-in (found at http://freetype.gimp.org -- be sure to get the tar ball and not the cvs branch!!) if these two methods of rendering fonts might work better from a remote machine. text tool sucks, imo. it hints by rendering the font 3 times bigger than requested and reducing the size. personally, i haven't hit the button with the big T on it for a couple of years by now ... good luck also, interesting way to play with gimp carol ___ Gimp-user mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.xcf.berkeley.edu/mailman/listinfo/gimp-user
Re: [Gimp-user] GIMP 1.2.3-pre2 and fonts question
Tom - For things like lifting a person from a jpeg and putting s/he/it somewhere else, there's a good series of tutorials in Grokking The GIMP, available online and for html download. Follow the links from the GIMP's Xtns/Web Browser menu to get it. There's some really good ideas on using layers, channels, and a variety of ways to separate the figure from the ground that will be of inestimable value. Good luck, good GIMPing! -- --Jeff Jeff Trefftzs [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.tcsn.net/trefftzsHome Page http://gug.sunsite.dk/gallery.php?artist=68 Gimp Gallery http://trefftzs.topcities.com/home.html Photo galleries ___ Gimp-user mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.xcf.berkeley.edu/mailman/listinfo/gimp-user
