When I select with Oval, Hand draw or Intelligent scissors, the cut from the Gimp looks perfect, but when I paste into OpenOffice Writer it is always a rectangular picture the width and height being the outer most points of the cut. It all makes it pretty useless for what I need it for. Would you know of a way of getting this right? You could try this, though it's a bit of a kludgey workaround :). 1. Make sure the layer you are working with has an alpha channel (Right click the layer in the layers dialog-Add alpha channel). 2. After making the selection (oval, scissors, or whatever), invert the selection. (Cntrl-I or Menu-Select-Invert) 3. Cut everything else out (Cntrl-X). Now these regions will all be transparent, leaving only what you want. 4. Invert the selection again (Cntrl-I) returning to your original selection. 5. Copy that (Cntrl-C) and try pasting it. Even if it pastes a rectangular bounding box, everything other than what you want will not show. I tried that, but it doesn't work. Although The Gimp clearly shows the cut out as an oval, with the rest of the picture gone, when I copy and paste it into OOo Writer it pastes as a rectangular picture (i.e. *not* a rectangular bounding box with an oval picture), with borders the size of the outermost points of the oval.

[Gimp-user] Work on a pasted image in The Gimp
I want to cut out part of a screen shot and paste the cutout into another application. 1 - I do the Shift - PrintScreen 2 - In The Gimp I do File | New and paste. Now the screen shot is in The Gimp But none of the Selection Tools can be activated. It sticks to the cross arrows that moves the image around the workspace. Is it possible at all to work on a pasted image? TIA Gert ___ Gimp-user mailing list Gimp-user@lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU https://lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU/mailman/listinfo/gimp-user

Yes, you have to anchor the pasted image Activate the Layers dialogue and you will see what is happening Owen ___ Gimp-user mailing list Gimp-user@lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU https://lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU/mailman/listinfo/gimp-user

Re: [Gimp-user] RAW images
UFRaw (http://ufraw.sourceforge.net) handles RAW images from digital cameras - this is not the same as a raw bitmap, as it was described. Look at the GIMP repository - there has been a plugin for handling of raw images, as I remember.

[Gimp-user] Converting files to Hexachrome
Hexachrome is the six color format used on some high end printing. There are programs published by Pantone to convert RGB to Hexachrome. My question: other than the Pantone programs, how can one get to Hexachrome format without loss of gamut? Obviously Gimp does not produce it natively so I am looking for a post-Gimp convertor. -- John Culleton Books with answers to marketing and publishing questions: http://wexfordpress.com/tex/shortlist.pdf Book coaches, consultants and packagers: http://wexfordpress.com/tex/packagers.pdf ___ Gimp-user mailing list Gimp-user@lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU https://lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU/mailman/listinfo/gimp-user
