[Gimp-user] Feathered selections
I walked a lady through GIMP on Windows 2000 today, she was delighted with it. A feature that she particularly liked was being able to select things (wand, oval, block, whatever) then feather the selection so whatever you did had no sharp edges. She also liked being able to select with the wand, then tidy up using Ctrl the other selection tools before actually doing anything with the selection. This visual interaction with the selection tools particularly struck me when she noticed that a rectangular selection grew rounded corners when it was feathered. So I started wondering: is it feasible to do something like make the selection's borders gently more fuzzy or translucent when a selection is feathered? That would just about make her day. Her approach to many things is artistic a little impulsive, so I think that makes her reactions a good benchmark of non-technical users in general.

I'm assuming you're talking about the marching ants when you say selection borders, and it's an interesting suggestion, though it might take a UI person to decide exactly how they should change to indicate fuzziness. But there's a solution for your friend in the meantime: the Quickmask. Click on that inconspicuous little square down at the bottom left of the image window, in the corner between the scrollbar and the ruler. That switches to Quickmask mode, in which anything that is *not* selected is red. You can see fuzzy borders really well with the quickmask -- I often use it when I want to check whether I've feathered a selection enough. Click in the same place (now it looks like a red square) to get out of quickmask mode. While you're in quickmask mode, you can also do useful things like changing the selection by painting with the various paint tools. -- ...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

I'll give Vickey a few days to play with her existing toys, then drop that on her. She likes painting doing similar artwork, so I suspect that QM mode will appeal to her instincts. She talks to a fair few people (in person by email) her husband Ronn is fairly well known here, too, so Wilbur's fame should get around quite handily.

Nice work! But i lack the possibility to set language in the config... I run a English XP in Sweden, and the language setting gets scrwd. And the Fix by setting the language fouls other applications i need. And making the .bat file as mentioned on the webpages isnt working for gimp-win-remote.

In that case you might want to point her towards the attached brush repository as well. I reposted the note here because it looks like it only went to the developer list and this looks to be of interest to users as well.

I know it must be terribly, horribly, ridiculously, and extremely late to suggest this at this point in the 2.4 cycle but - I recently got in contact with a very talented Gimp brush artist on deviantart.com; she's made a number of brushes that seem to be the sort that would be generally useful in a default Gimp install. She told me she is willing to license them under the GPL (they are currently Creative Commons BY-NC-ND) if they would be considered for inclusion into the Gimp. Links to the brushes are here: Watercolor Paint: http://iceytina.deviantart.com/art/GIMP-PaintBrushes-Watercolors-31117244 Waxy Pencils: http://iceytina.deviantart.com/art/Gimp-PaintBrushes-Pencils-31116570 Oil Pastels: http://iceytina.deviantart.com/art/GIMP-PaintBrushes-Oil-Pastels-31115517 Crayons: http://iceytina.deviantart.com/art/GIMP-PaintBrushes-Crayons-31087987 Airbrushes: http://iceytina.deviantart.com/art/GIMP-PaintBrushes-Airbrushes-31029257 Brushes: http://iceytina.deviantart.com/art/GIMP-PaintBrushes-Artist-31030053 If these seems like they'd be valuable to include, I can get you in touch with her. Thanks for listening! ~m p.s. BTW, AWESOME work on 2.4 so far, I've been using RC 1 for a while now and I have to say it feels a lot more comfortable to use - it's gotten me really excited about the Gimp all over again. :) ___ ___ Gimp-user mailing list Gimp-user@lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU https://lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU/mailman/listinfo/gimp-user
