[Gimp-user] A novice's problem: I can't reproduce the first effect of the manual (chapter 5.2 - figure 3.38)
Hi everybody! some days ago I decided to improve my basic knowledge about The GIMP. I installed the version and I've been studying the manual at http://docs.gimp.org. I've got a difficult and I cannot handle it, could someone help me? I met the problem at chapter 5.2 (http://docs.gimp.org/en/ch03s05s02.html): it's impossible for me to reproduce the first effect in figure 3.38. I tried and tried to deform the grid using the Smudge Tool, but I can't obtain the right result! I tried to adjust the rate, I tried to flag the Hard edge... nothing! I can't reproduce the nice effect like in the example. Actually, I can't understand what the example means for low spacing because I can't find an option called spacing among options of Smudge Tool in GIMP 2.4.1 Thanks in advance for your advices and for your patient with my English, Val ___ Gimp-user mailing list Gimp-user@lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU https://lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU/mailman/listinfo/gimp-user

You might also want to try a Calligraphic Brush as it give a 'better' effect than a circle brush Owen ___ Gimp-user mailing list Gimp-user@lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU https://lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU/mailman/listinfo/gimp-user

Re: [Gimp-user] GIMP on Leopard
We indeed should and there might even be a bugzilla entry for the gimp-web project. If I would finally find some time to spend for this, I'd love to provide a patch for the Mac and the OS X download pages. Anyways, if somebody else is faster than me... lexA 2007/11/20, Sven Neumann [EMAIL PROTECTED]: Hi, On Mon, 2007-11-19 at 23:31 +0100, Axel Wernicke wrote: There is a prebuild GIMP.app for download at wilber-loves-apple.org that also works on Leo.

But a bug that can easily be fixed in the plug-in source code. Just look for the gimp_install_procedure() call and check the 8th argument. I suspect the plug-in is passing the string * here. It should pass the empty string to tell GIMP that it doesn't need an image to work. Please tell the author of the iscan plug-in about this so that he/she can fix the plug-in.

I've already done it last night. Just not sure why the webserver hasn't picked up the latest changes from SVN yet. But I am sure this will be solved over the day...
