Which version of Ubuntu are you using? 8.10 has 2.6 included in it

If you are using 8.04, it is probably not possible to upgrade due to updated 
dependencies

Yes,

Download the source and read the INSTALL for instructions.

Off the top of my head you will at least babl and gegl which may well
install from a deb

Otherwise you may have to build them yourself, babl first and then
gegl, last time I tried, gegl needed building with with
  ./configure --disable-docs

you will need an updated glib, pango, atk I think, and finally gtk

build them with ./configure --prefix=/opt and
make sure you set the environment variables for your build as follows:

export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/opt/lib:/usr/lib
export PKG_CONFIG_PATH=/opt/lib/pkgconfig:/usr/lib/pkgconfig
export ACLOCAL_FLAGS=-I /opt/share/aclocal

Comeback if you run into troubles.

Just watch configure, it will give you all the bad news :-)

[Gimp-user] Help with script

Sorry, i got another question. I want to find the width of each character by
essentially cropping the cell. But this bit of code in the script saulgoode
gave me:

(gimp-rect-select image x y width height ...)
(set! bounds (gimp-selection-bounds image))

just seems to get the width and height of the selection, which is obviously
known since it's used to set the selection in the first place!

So is there a function to crop the selection or will i have to copy it to a

 So the script-fu.exe resides in a folder that does NOT have

The installer tries to set up environment in such way that GIMP-2.0\bin
directory is first in PATH when plugins and extensions are started (this is
done through Registry and GIMP's global configuration files).

If you aren't using any other GTK+ application, uninstall GTK+ completely,
and just let GIMP use GTK+ that ships with it.

 So looking through the registry, I find some keys that
 GIMP failed to clean up upon uninstalling...
 HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Applications\gimp-2.6.exe
 HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Applications\gimp-win-remote.exe

These keys weren't created by the installer, so it can't remove them (GIMP
itself doesn't use registry). My guess is that they were created by
Explorer when manipulating file associations through it.

 I probably need to run something to get the system to
 do a REGISTRY RELOAD. That's not a very proper term,
 but let me try this and see what occurs.

Registry changes are instantaneous.

[Gimp-user] SVG import problem

Dear friends,

after I have upgraded Gimp to 2.6.4 (Windows), it stopped to inport SVG files
(neither via File - Open, nor via Paths Dialog - Import path). In the last
case it seems to work but no paths are seen in a picture, only in path layers
dialog.
The SVG files were the same which I have already rendered in previous version
Gimp.
I always get error message tellig that Microsoft Visual C runtime
unexpectedly closed file-svg plugin.

Is it just me or does anybody encountered the same situation?

First of all, there will be no stable GIMP 2.7, since odd minor version 
numbers are reserved for development releases.

Second, all complaints about some version of GIMP not being available on some 
operating system or distribution should go to the maintainers of that 
distribution, since the only official product released by the GIMP developers 
is the source code.  It's totally up to the distributions to provide

its not the Gimp team's job to package things.  If you let Ubuntu do
it for you, then you have to accept the limitations that come with
that.
 There are instructions on the web for getting gimp 2.6 to run on 8.04
without compiling it yourself, but you have to uninstall and reinstall
vast swaths of the desktop gui.  Why not just upgrade to 8.10? Gimp is
what motivated me to do that, and it was pretty darn painless.
  Btw, the Ubuntu releases are Year.Month, so there can't be an 8.20.
The next release will be a 9.something.

depends. it took me several hours to install GIMP 2.6.4 on openSUSE 
11.0, because upto now the OS repositories offer GIMP 2.4 librariies 
only. had to install a bunch of dependencies, compile some of them, and 
change libraries that openSUSE was using by default.

if the latest (stable) GIMP version is supported in a newer version of 
ubuntu, it seems to make more sense to spend the time upgrading to that 
OS version, since most likely that will be done sooner or later anyway, 
than fiddling around with dependencies in the older OS version...

[Gimp-user] Outputting image

Not by typing something funky in the save-as field.  You could always

There's no escaping required.  UNIX filenames can have pipes,
greater-than signs, dollar signs, etc; the only two byte values that
aren't allowed in a UNIX filename are zero and '/'.  It's only the
shell that adds special meaning to those other characters, and the
shell is not involved with Gimp's saving of an image.

 Once I have Gimp::Image, I would love get the binary data that is the
 image and do with it as I please.

Well, the binary image data doesn't exist in gimp's memory in that
form; it's created by the save handler for the particular file format.
 I don't know if there's a way in script-fu (Scheme, Perl, or other)
to have the save handler 'save' to something other than a file;
someone else may have a better pointer there.

 Sorry, i got another question. I want to find the width of each character by
 essentially cropping the cell. But this bit of code in the script saulgoode
 gave me:

 (gimp-rect-select image x y width height ...)
 (set! bounds (gimp-selection-bounds image))

 just seems to get the width and height of the selection, which is obviously
 known since it's used to set the selection in the first place!

Since the operation mode of 'gimp-rect-select' is  
CHANNEL-OP-INTERSECT, the resulting selection is only the  
non-transparent part of all chars that lie within the region of that  
cell (i.e., the non-transparent part of a single char).

This is the opposite order of what you may have been expecting -- that  
is, to select a cell and THEN select the non-transparent part of the  
cell -- but the net result is the same! It was simpler to do it my way  
because the Alpha To Selection function  
('gimp-selection-layer-alpha') does not allow for CHANNEL-OP modes.

Ah, named pipes can be quite useful, mostly for one-off situations
where there's a better solution that just isn't in place yet.  Note
that mknod is primarily for device files and doesn't actually support
the p type for named papes on all systems; if you find one where
mknod blah p doesn't work, try mkfifo blah.

I want to select only the middle tomato and then treat the edges of the 
single tomato so that the edges are soft like edges of the existing 
tomatoes on the left and right.  I have tried cropping down to one 
tomato and then various attempts at fixing the edges using smudging and 
burning etc but the result never looks right - how would the image gurus 
do it?

 on the left and right.  I have tried cropping down to one tomato and then
 various attempts at fixing the edges using smudging and burning etc but the
 result never looks right - how would the image gurus do it?

I'd go buy a tomato and shoot it, but that's just me ;)

 People,

 I want to select only the middle tomato and then treat the edges of
 the
 single tomato so that the edges are soft like edges of the existing
 tomatoes on the left and right.  I have tried cropping down to one
 tomato and then various attempts at fixing the edges using smudging
 and
 burning etc but the result never looks right - how would the image
 gurus
 do it?


Use the lasso tool and make a rough selection
quickmask it
adjust the selection more precisely
un quickmask it
cut it out
past as a new image on a tranparent layer
insert a white layer underneath

Then experiment with various tomato selection, selection shrinks etc,
and then blur to make the edges soft


You could use the foreground select tool for step one, but I think the
lasso is the better option in this case

 Thanks,

you could use one of the selection tools. Or ask google for gimp select 
object. That gave me the very nice result here:

 Hi there,
 
 Here is another interesting question: is it possible to get the image 
 data out somewhere other than disk? I attempted specifying piped name 
 for image, |out.pl , for instance. It simply escapes the pipe and 
 creates a file by that name!  Funny.  :-)
 
 Once I have Gimp::Image, I would love get the binary data that is the 
 image and do with it as I please.


Sort of not with you as to exactly what you want to do, but can you
save it in the native format, xcf?

If so look at the specs in devel-docs/xcf.txt of the source for all the
bits you can dream of

You might want to feather the selection at this point, to give a soft
edge to your cutout.

A blur might work.  A feathered selection is likely to give a better
result over an arbitrary background.

Oh, ok. Thanks for clearing that up.

You need to use 'display' instead of 'write', and output the offsets  
individually (or construct a string using 'string-append'; 'display'  
only accepts one object at a time).

(if (= (car bounds) 0)
  (display 0,0 p)
  (begin
(begin
  (display (- (cadr   bounds) x) p)
  (display , p)
  (display (- (cadddr bounds) x) p)
  )
)
  )
