[Gimp-user] Can No Longer startup Gimp 2.4 in Ubuntu Hardy Heron

I just installed Ubuntu Hardy Heron 8.04.1 a week ago on a x86 PC. And gimp was working just fine. Then I installed Gimpshop (based on gimp 2.2). FYI -- Gimpshop installs into a different directory /usr/local/bin. Both gimp and gimpshop were working. In fact you could run both at the same

[Gimp-user] alpha channel computation

Hello. I have a TGA image that is fully opaque. I want to introduce translucency to the image, making each pixel translucent according to how far away from black it is. If a pixel is originally black, it becomes fully opaque. If a pixel is originally white, it becomes fully transparent. If a

Re: [Gimp-user] AWN breaks the Gimp 2.4 in Ubuntu Hardy Heron

I found that problem. The Latest version of the Avant Window Manager (installed from the deb http://ppa.launchpad.net/reacocard-awn/ubuntu hardy main repo) BREAKS gimp 2.4.5 in Hardy Heron 8.04.1. You can easily verify that this is the problem. 1. Boot off the Hardy Heron 8.04.1 Live CD. 2.

Re: [Gimp-user] AWN breaks the Gimp 2.4 in Ubuntu Hardy Heron

After more testing and investigation, it looks like AWN is NOT to blame in breaking the gimp in Hardy Heron. It was just mere coincidence that the installation of AWN also was the start of the gimp not working. I booted off the Ubuntu Hardy Heron Live CD and installed gimpshop via dpkg -i.

Re: [Gimp-user] AWN breaks the Gimp 2.4 in Ubuntu Hardy Heron

Thanks David. Personally, I prefer the Gimp over Photoshop or gimpshop. I was just setting up a laptop for a 12 year old daughter of a friend of mine who is more familiar with Photoshop. So I installed gimpshop not knowing it would break the Gimp 2.4.5 (which I really wanted her to try). I
