Re: [Gimp-user] Path Tool enhancement
I don't know if the feature is available in version 2.2, but the development version (2.3) is currently able to lock the control points in a manner similar to what you describe by holding down the CTRL and SHIFT keys while moving either of the controls in the Edit Mode. I would like at least one particular option that is available in both Inkscape and PS: to be able to 'lock' the control points of a single point such that the line joining the two control points intersects the point itself (i.e. the two control lines are parallel) It is amazing what you can accomplish if you do not care who gets the credit. -- Harry S.

Re: [Gimp-user] Path Tool enhancement
Thanks for that Saul - yep that really means that it's only gonna be a minor change for what I want :) The Shift-Click (not Ctrl-Shift-Click) make both parallel but also changes the length of the second one to match the selected one. That might even be the same as PS or Inkscape (but I can't remember and have only used them once or twice) So I guess some other X-Shift-Click could mean to keep the length of the second one the value it already is and only adjust the length of the clicked one as you move it around. (Ctrl-Shift-Click means delete) Maybe even Shift-RightClick ... Anyway, if I get time some time (in the future ...), I might try to find the code and hopefully it shouldn't be too hard to add that extra option myself since all the code really should be there already anyway - yay :) -Thanks again!

Even if the code passed the extra mouseclicks, your interface still would need to address the possibility of input devices that do not possess them.

[Gimp-user] Is it possible to have a gradient brush?
I'm trying to avoid buying Photoshop and use the GIMP instead. I need to do the technique described at either of the following pages: http://tutorialoutpost.com/count/5433 http://www.graphics.com/modules.php?name=Sectionsop=viewarticleartid=262 Thus I want to use a gradient brush along a path. I tried to do this with the GIMP but it doesn't seem to be possible. The GIMP seems to have the concept of gradients, brushes, paths, and strokes, but doesn't seem to be able to stroke a gradient brush along a path. Strictly speaking, there is an option in the GIMP to stroke a path with a brush set to use a gradient, but it doesn't do what most users would expect (i.e. what Photoshop and Illustrator do) and thus doesn't work. Feel free to correct any mistakes or misunderstandings related to the GIMP here. Question: Is there a way to do the above with the GIMP or do I need to shell out $600 for Photoshop? Thank you. ___ Gimp-user mailing list Gimp-user@lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU https://lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU/mailman/listinfo/gimp-user
Re: [Gimp-user] Is it possible to have a gradient brush?
There is a way to find out how long a path is; You can find that number, enable 'use gradient' in the paint tool, and set the length of the gradient to match that number. Then stroking the path should give the result you want. That is if you want a gradient ALONG the path. If you want a gradient in the brush instead, I suggest you: * Make a new transparent layer to hold the brush * Draw the brush once onto the layer (like, a single click with the Paintbrush tool * Enable 'keep alpha' for the brush layer * Fill with the gradient so it fits the brush how you want it to * Select-all * Edit-copy * Select the 'clipboard' brush * Stroke the path If you want to keep the brush so you can reuse it -- you can just go to the brushes dialog and duplicate it.

Re: [Gimp-user] Is it possible to have a gradient brush?
Perhaps I misunderstand, but I tried that and it doesn't work because the GIMP doesn't rotate the brush to follow the tangent of the vector. You can see from the first link below how it's supposed to work. On the other hand, I am using 2.2.13 (latest official release) whereas perhaps somehow v2.3.9+ fixes this. Thanks.

At first sight, this just looks like a custom brush stroked along a path. Maybe I'm missing something... If you are after a neon-glow effect for any selection, I suggest you look for the Script-fu-Alpha to Logo scripts. There are various scripts in here to take the alpha channel from a layer and make interesting effects. Alternatively, you can try using the Stroke Path options too (part of the Path tool). Create the path you wish to stroke with any tool. Then, set the brush you wish to use. Finally, choose Stroke Path in the Path tool options window, select the type of tool (airbrush/paint/etc.) and click OK. I also recommend that you take a look at the latest release of Inkscape if you want to do a lot of this stuff. If your work is intrinsically vector-like, you may find it a better fit. Take a look at this image, for example. http://inkscape.org/screenshots/gallery/inkscape-0.45-3D-rope.png Cheers, Toby Haynes ___ Gimp-user mailing list Gimp-user@lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU https://lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU/mailman/listinfo/gimp-user
