[Gimp-user] New small user manual for gimp newbies made
A small beginners minihowto about gimp is made. The idea is to get newbies started using gimp immediately, with the most elementary things. Has taken me a long time, to learn gimp. The address is http://www.minihowto.org I am an old pensioner of some 66 years of age. This manual is supplementary to all the other documentation, which is out there on the Internet etc. :-) ___ Gimp-user mailing list Gimp-user@lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU https://lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU/mailman/listinfo/gimp-user

This manual is supplementary to all the other documentation, which is out there on the Internet etc. :-) That is a nice introduction. It is valuable to understand the experiences of new users; often experts and veterans have a difficult time writing manuals and tutorials because they intuitively understand concepts which prove to be significant barriers to the new user. One thing I would recommend: in your tutorial you should mention the importance of saving files in the XCF format while working on them. Many new users will save their multi-layered files as JPEG or PNG and then find out that the layers are no longer there the next time they use the GIMP. Saving as an XCF will retain all of the information associated with an edit session -- including layers, texts, paths, and selections -- so that the user can pick up where they left off. ___ Gimp-user mailing list Gimp-user@lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU https://lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU/mailman/listinfo/gimp-user
[Gimp-user] templates
I want to design and print some inserts for DVD cases and wondered if anyone new of any, ready to use templates. There are lots of free templates available but they only appear to work with windows based software and I use Ubuntu 7.04. There is a linux application called glabels but that does not have the one template I want. The help file of glabels describes how to make ones own templates but I do not understand how to do this. Perhaps my brain is not as agile as it was 70 years ago. Norman ___ Gimp-user mailing list Gimp-user@lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU https://lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU/mailman/listinfo/gimp-user

[Gimp-user] Plug-in for assigning / converting colorspaces
Hi, I made a new plug-in for assigning / converting colorspaces. That was bundled with Separate+ since version 20070723. To assign or convert colorspaces, we have used the GIMP Color Manager. Hereafter, we can use the new plug-in too. The new plug-in (tentative name: icc_colorspace) works with the GIMP 2.2.x or 2.3.x.

Sorry, but I don't understand your problem. You are trying to install gimp-2.3.19 using Linux, right? What is installed according to your computer? What kind of document are you trying to save, an image? What is the exact error message when you are trying to save the image? Are You having the same problem?

There is still some user interface changes missing, but it will provide this functionality for 2.4. If an appropriate UI is added for 2.4, I think it to be wonderful. The icc_colorspace plug-in was not made in order to disturb that. The support of the abstract/devicelink profiles will be added to this plug-in, but I think that is unnecessary for the lcms plug-in. And, two types of Absolute colorimetric intents are included in the icc_colorspace, but these are also unnecessary for the lcms plug-in. I think that there might be some expert users who want to use ICC-based functions right now. The icc_colorspace plug-in is useful for them. Of course, the better way for the ordinary users is waiting for the release of 2.4. -- Yoshinori Yamakawa yam at yellowmagic.info -- View this message in context: http://www.nabble.com/Plug-in-for-assigning---converting-colorspaces-tf4216439.html#a12000261 Sent from the Gimp User mailing list archive at Nabble.com. ___ Gimp-user mailing list Gimp-user@lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU https://lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU/mailman/listinfo/gimp-user
Re: [Gimp-user] gimp hangs in Fedora 7
Em Sex, 2007-08-03 às 05:56 +0600, Dr. Muhammad Masroor Ali escreveu: Dear All, After I upgraded my machine (Dell, 1GB RAM, PIV processor) to Fedora 7, gimp worked fine for a few days. Then it started to hang after about ten minutes of use. It works fine (pencil, crop and fill), but after gimp has been used for about, say ten minutes, whenever I try to open or save a file from the File menu, the menu appears and then gimp hangs. Nothing can be done after that except forced kill. Does it happens if you move the .gimp-2.2 directory to another place? What do you see if you run gimp from a terminal? ___ Gimp-user mailing list Gimp-user@lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU https://lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU/mailman/listinfo/gimp-user
