Re: [Gimp-user] brushes and keyboard shortcuts
Hi, Quoting ivanova [EMAIL PROTECTED]: Is it possible to change the size/hardness of the brushes with keyboard shotcuts? This is possible in 2.1 (at least for brush size), since brush size controls are now available in the menus. You can use dynamic shortcuts to assign a key to increasing/decreasing brush size, and it's a one-touch operation. You can't change this while drawing, however. Cheers, Dave. -- Dave Neary Lyon, France ___ Gimp-user mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.xcf.berkeley.edu/mailman/listinfo/gimp-user

Sorry, but this information is not correct. In 2.1 you can assign keyboard shortcuts (or events from other input devices, for example a midi keyboard) to all brush parameters (size/angle/hardness/shape/spikes). Since there's no menu for it, you can't assign the shortcut dynamically but have to use the shortcut editor in the preferences dialog.

[Gimp-user] dreamy look
I want to achieve a certain effect. For lack of better description I'll call it a dreamy look. I found a perfect, very short howto for Photoshop here: http://www.photoserver.cz/tutorials_show.asp?ID=20 Description is in Czech, but it's easy to follow the howto thanks to numerous screenshots. Now the problem: Gimp has exactly the same tools as used in this tutorial. The end result is quite disappointing though. Basicaly the Gimp-processed image lost much detail in the grandma's hair and it looks much more out of focus than the Photoshop version.

[Gimp-user] Tutorial for brushed metal
Hi, Does anyone have a good tutorial on how to create a brushed metal effect on some text? I want to create something similar to the knoppix logo which comes as wallpaper with teh current knoppix 3.4.

The other thing is that the radius of a Gaussian blur is somewhat arbitrary, because there is no sharp edge to it, so it is very likely that a radius of 6.0 in Gimp is not the same thing as a radius of 6.0 in Photoshop.

Did I stump ya? Or confuse ya? Is anyone out there ... Date: Fri, 6 Aug 2004 06:30:01 +0400 (MSD) From: iwantto keepanon [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: [Gimp-user] Selection woes... Message-ID: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Content-Type: text/plain; charset=koi8-r MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit Precedence: list Message: 10 I have been trying (w/ use of the help screens) to do what I /thought/ would be a simple operation. I have an image w/ some text in it. I want to move *each* letter over by 2 pixels (to accomodate an outline). So here is what I do: 1. Select all 2. move image (good) 3. C+select to remove the first letter 4. move image (good) 5. notice that gimp shrink wrapped the selection to just the letters (leaving out the transparent areas) 6. C+select to unselect the second letter 7. notice that ALL the letters disappear (but have marching ants on them still) 8. notice that the letter I just (presumably) de-selected still has marching ants shrink wrapped on it too 9. move the selection 10. notice that ALL the letters move, including the on I /tried/ to de-select Doh! I could anchor the selection and reselect the remaining text. But I'd have to do that 30 - 40 times (not!). While extremely zoomed in (not!). I do not understand how selection tools change from normal when a selection is active. I also do not understand /why/ selection tools change from normal. I tried several of the select tool buttons (e.g. subtract from current selection), but to no avail. For those of you still reading g, here is the big picture. I have some text and a background (American flags). I captured both from my website. I put both in layers. I made the text be difference (as I recall) and the flags be normal. Bam, a good looking title with the font stroked in a flag motif. The only problem is that the font has a lot of white pixels (you know, the stripes) on the edge of the letters and my website uses a white background (not good). So I tried to put some space in between the letters (hence my question) and manually outline the letters. If there is a quicker way (say instead of the text tool filling w/solid colors, but instead w/ a gif) then I'd appreciate the help. If not, then am I just a moron gimp user (probably yes). But what is up w/ the selection tools when the selection is active??? ___ Gimp-user mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.xcf.berkeley.edu/mailman/listinfo/gimp-user

So here is what I do: best to use texttool to make each letter on a separate layer. you do this by highlighting the background layer and clicking on that for each new letter. then use the guides and move tool to settle everything that you have in the way you want it. from there, Image --Image --Merge Visible Layers (with only the text layers showing) will make one layer out of the several. text tool is set up to make good text. you are making decorative text which is more like good decorative text, comparatively speaking. carol ___ Gimp-user mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.xcf.berkeley.edu/mailman/listinfo/gimp-user

Since a picture is worth a thousand words, I have a page w/ what I am trying to do and exactly where things go wrong. Please visit : http://man-page.homelinux.org/~rodney/gimp-q/ There is a step by step process and my questions ... which are: 1. why can't I unselect the R? 2. Or (restated) why does unselecting a small region make the whole region disappear? 3. Is using a gif to fill the text tool alread built in? (hopefully makes sense when you see the webpage). My real title is longer than this and I'd prefer not to have to re-anchor the selection each time I need to insert 2px worth of space btwn letters. Thanks to all who have already replied. (BTW, Love!
