[Gimp-user] GIMP on Leopard

2007-11-19 Thread Victor Domingos
I recently upgraded to Mac OS X Leopard, which seems to be just great  
and almost one month later there are no signs of a compatible GIMP  
binary coming (I need a PPC version, because I use a PowerBook G4).

Just to make things worse, the GIMP port in MacPorts seems not to work  
properly. I used to have both the old GIMP.app and the latest MacPorts  
gimp-dev version running, and now I simply cannot use GIMP.

I am getting kind of desperate :(

I am teaching some students how to use GIMP and now I am not able to  
try the exercises at home, before the classes. Does anyone have a good  
news to me (is it coming, is it??).


By the way, is it that difficult to build a PPC version at the same  
time we build an Intel one? Supposedly, Apple gave developers the  
means to build both at once (Universal Binaries), right? What is  
happening, then?


Anyway, I now the team is working hard on GIMP, and I thank you for  
your great work.

Best regards,
Victor Domingos
(sadly, not GIMPing right now, in a sunny Portugal...)

Re: [Gimp-user] attempt at surrealism

 looks interesting. My impression is that you rotate the picture slightly 
 in a second layer and than use some kind of calculation like 
 difference. Some elements look close to emboss - but keep the color.
 
 Maybe you start a screencast on YT - there is already some for GIMP.

Thank you for looking and commenting, it is most welcome.

Starting a screencast sounds very ambitious and probably beyond my
capabilities. Not a bad idea though. (Presumably YT is You Tube).

[Gimp-user] .recently-used.xbel

2007-11-19 Thread D.Jones (aka) Capnhud
I have noticed with the new version of the Gimp a file called .xbel is 
constantly created
after I open an image. It is in C:\Documents and Setting\owner in windowx xp.  
How do I
stop this behavior?

I am not sure about windows, but why would you want to stop it?


What happens when you open .recently-used.xbel in an editor, like Notepad?

[Gimp-user] CMYK/ RGB printing

2007-11-19 Thread Richard Oliver
I have noticed a considerable difference between printing on a CMYK 
printer and a RGB printer.
Is there a way to view the same picture both ways so as to adjust so as to 
keep the colours as true as possible?
I am sure that there is a better way of posing this question but I am 
afraid my knowledge of the subject is really limited.
I would value ideas please.

I don't see why you would not want this file to be written. After all it
serves a rather useful purpose. But if you really dislike this feature,
unset save-document-history in your gimprc or simply disable it in the
Preferences dialog.

OK,

So if you went to the freedesktop.org site,
http://standards.freedesktop.org/shared-mime-info-spec/latest/ it may
provide some information?

Sorry, that is the specification for the old format that was supported
in GIMP 2.2. The spec for the xbel format is at

Hi,

There is a prebuild GIMP.app for download at wilber-loves-apple.org  
that also works on Leo. It might be x86 only by now, but give the  
folks a try

[Gimp-user] gimp and iscan

2007-11-19 Thread Geoffrey
I had gimp and iscan working just fine on fedora 6 and gimp 2.2.  I have 
a new installation of fedora 8.  I've got gimp 2.4 and iscan 2.6 
installed via rpm.  When I open gimp and select Xtns-Aquire image, I 
see 'Scanning (iscan)' but it's grayed out.  If I remove the iscan rpm 
the Aquire option is no longer there, so I know that iscan rpm is trying 
to register the plugin.

Any suggestions would be appreciated.
