[Gimp-user] GIMP video podcast / screencast
Hi, I am new to the list, but I am using the GIMP for ten years or so. Speaking of age as some posters before me in the New small user manual thread - I am a toddler of still 49 ;-) Now I have started a video podcast or screencast about photography and the gimp. Episode 4 is out and there will be one every thursday from now on. I would be happy about comments and very happy about pointers to mistakes or to things I could do better. You can find the podcast at http://meetthegimp.org Rolf ___ Gimp-user mailing list Gimp-user@lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU https://lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU/mailman/listinfo/gimp-user
Re: [Gimp-user] How do I reactivate my rotate and scale icons
This may tie into your other problem with the tool options. Check the FAQ at Gimptalk as well as the Gimp documentation on docking. As for the rotation and scale tools, in the options dialog which comes up when you select those icons, there are three buttons at the top of that dialog. The first one is for the currently selected layer, the second is for the current selection, and the third is for the current path. For what you want, the first of these three buttons should be clicked, but you may have somehow or other clicked one of the other two. --- Nicole Zupan [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: I used to be able to use my rotate and scale icons on the main gimp tool bar, but now for some reason they won't work. I have uninstalled Gimp and deleted all the folders for it and then reinstalled it but they still don't work. does anyone have an idea of how to fix this? ___ Gimp-user mailing list Gimp-user@lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU https://lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU/mailman/listinfo/gimp-user Luggage?

[Gimp-user] galen rowell filter?
is there a (relatively) simple way to add a galen rowell filter. that's the late national geographic photographer to made great use out of graduated color filters to bring out the colors in sunset, etc. these sky colors are often become washed out due to overexposure necessary to expose the darked earth-based objects. thanks, -rei -- Rei Shinozuka [EMAIL PROTECTED] Ridgewood, New Jersey ___ Gimp-user mailing list Gimp-user@lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU https://lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU/mailman/listinfo/gimp-user

So to get a graduated filter effect, try making a duplicate layer with a layer mask, then draw a black/white gradient on the layer mask. Then you can operate on just the sky part using the various brightness tools. You could also use a graduated selection (e.g. draw a gradient on the quickmask), but if you use a separate layer with a layer mask you can change the graduated filter after the fact, making it more gradual, or lower, or cutting out that tree sticking up above the horizon, or whatever other editing you need, without losing the contrast effect you've already done on the sky. -- ...Akkana Beginning GIMP: From Novice to Professional: http://gimpbook.com ___ Gimp-user mailing list Gimp-user@lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU https://lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU/mailman/listinfo/gimp-user
