fastest way seem to be:
- select the region were you want to make this.
- Float selection (selection->float)
- reduce opacity on floated selection to 75%
- change layer combination mode on floated selection to "dissolve" 
instead of "normal".
- anchor selection back.

you need to set the paths.  i got really bored with setting them and
asked a friend to write this script to set them for me:
http://www.gimp.org/source/howtos/gimpenv

to use this script, type "source gimpenv".  this should direct
configures attention to everything in /usr/local if that is where you
have the new glib installed at.

i had to use this script to trick debian into making a gkt2 deb
yesterday -- they gave me a glib with a wrong pkg-config name.

good luck

(for auto-complete i thought they were getting rid of TAB completion and
using suggest/replace as you type instead, because using TAB messes with
navigating through the widgets in the dialog, but they might not have do
so yet).

As well as emailing the developers you should look at this enhancement

Concerning the copyright question, the answer is that you would
not be breaking any copyright for PhotoShop per se, but you may
well be breaking copyright for the tutorial.  The only way to
tell is to read the copyright notice.  If you cannot find one,
then I suggest that you contact the author of the tutorial.

You misunderstood me. Ctrl-L typed into the GtkFileChooser opens a
dialog that offers the old Tab-completion functionality to select a
file. File->Open Location is a different thing. It doesn't do
completion on the file-system and it isn't meant to be used for local
files. It's about opening remote files by specifying an URL. And
unfortunately it's also broken in 2.1.0 (fixed in CVS).

Use File->Open Location. Ctrl-L still is the default shortcut for the
Layers dialog and I'd be very unhappy if this'd get changed "because some

There are no translatable strings in the XML files. The XML files
specify the location of menu entries, not the strings associated with
them.

Type Ctrl-L to get an entry with nice TAB completion. Yes, I'd like to
see this entry being part of the file chooser by default but that's
something that you need to tell the GTK+ developers.

hmm. I ran into this as well. It's done just the sameway, what happens is that 
the .po files in CVS are not up to date. All you have to do is to proceed to 
the .po directory and type #../intltool-update  
(and update the translation).

Well...
this is just a _blocker_ bug introduced in the new GTK. The GIMP will 
certainly have to override this keyboardless file chooser at some point.

Yes, but I'm afraid I don't know any specifics. The site should be back

[Gimp-user] ANNOUNCE: GIMP 2.1.0 Development Release

2004-06-03 Thread Sven Neumann
Hi,

it's about seven weeks since we branched the CVS tree and there is now
a first development snapshot of GIMP 2.1 available from ftp.gimp.org
and it's mirrors:

   http://gimp.org/downloads/#mirrors

This is an unstable development release. It certainly has bugs and
there are a number of unfinished hacks. We are nevertheless interested
in your feedback and would like you to file bug reports for crashes
and non-obvious problems.


Please note that you cannot install gimp-2.1 side-by-side with
gimp-2.0 into the same prefix. A number of files will clash, so please
use a separate prefix to install this development version! For
details, please read the file INSTALL.

Also, please do not distribute binary packages of gimp-2.1. We are
aiming for a gimp-2.2 release in a few months, so please wait for
gimp-2.2.


Here's an overview of changes since GIMP 2.0:

GIMP 2.1 includes the following enhancements:

 - Major user interface improvements.

   * Large parts of the GIMP user interface have been changed to
 comply better with the GNOME Human Interface Guidelines. This is
 an ongoing effort and the interface may still be inconsistent in
 a few places.

   * Users are now allowed to clear the undo history.

   * The unit to be used for the rulers and the coordinates display is now
 a display property and can be changed in the statusbar of the image
 window.

   * New widgets and frameworks provided by GTK+ 2.4 are used; this means

 + uses the new GtkFileChooser dialog, vastly improving the file
   dialogs.
 + includes port of menus to GtkUIManager, which creates all core
   menus from XML files at runtime. This means that menu items can
   be rearranged by users simply by editing these files.
 + uses a global accelerator table in all docks and image windows.
   This means that a hotkey will do the same thing regardless of
   which dock or image window you are using.
 + adds replacement widgets based on GtkComboBox for most uses of
   GtkOptionMenu (GimpUnitMenu remains to be ported)
 + adds GimpContainerEntry, a GtkEntry with completion based on
   the contents of a GimpContainer.
 + makes the order and visibility of tools in the toolbox configurable
 + allows keeping toolbox and dock windows above other windows (if
   the WM supports this hint)

   * The toolbox now has an optional preview of the active image.

   * The image window now accepts file/uri drops.

 - More internal cleanup and refactoring of the core object model.

 - The brush rendering code has been separated from the generic paint
   tool code. The ink tool is now a paint tool (it can do straight
   lines) and the new infrastructure allows to implement new kinds of
   paint methods like vector based painting.

 - Gradients can now be created, deleted, renamed and edited through
   the PDB.

 - Some changes to plug-ins.

   * Plug-ins can now register the same procedures in multiple places (the
 API to register menu entries has been changed in a backward-compatible
 fashion).

   * Plug-ins can now optionally register a menu icon.

   * File plug-ins can now register a mime-type.

   * All plug-in dialogs have been reviewed and changed to make them
 comply better with the GNOME Human Interface Guidelines.

   * All plug-ins that need to access files use the new GtkFileChooser
 dialog.

   * The obsolete AlienMap and GIcon plug-ins were removed.  AlienMap2
 does everything than AlienMap did, and the GIMP-specific GIcon format
 has not been used by anything for quite some time now.

   * A plug-in to load and save windows icon files has been added.

Thanx. But I am relatively newbie. When I have selected by colour (Shift-O), 
the menu choice for inversion (Ctrl-I) is not active.

I would highly appreciate if you could explain me using "teaspoons". NB it is
