[Gimp-user] GEGL crashes Gimp 2.6.6 on XP

2009-07-21 Thread John
 Von: Martin Nordholts ense...@gmail.com

 GIMP 2.6.6 has had really bad stability on Windows and no one knows why. 

And not everyone is affected by it.

 Hopefully it will disappear as quickly in 2.6.7 as it appeared in 2.6.6.

Please note that this does mean that - to my knowledge - no one is working
to fix this, because no problem has been identified that could be fixed. We're
really just hoping that this is an issue of the build rather than a bug in the
GIMP source.


HTH,
Michael


Thanks for the info. I can use everything else and was looking to explore the
GEGL operations.
I will wait for the next build.

John.

Fireworks stores private data in parts of the PNG files. Unfortunately they 
didn't change the file extension, thus making people think that PNG would 
support all this stuff by default.

If you used Fireworks to work on this file before, then you will have to 
continue to use it.


HTH,

[Gimp-user] How to Combine Layers with Feathered or Softened Edges

2009-07-21 Thread James Cobban

I am trying to combine images scanned from microfilm in the case where the
lens on the microfilm scanner is too powerful to permit me to scan an entire
page into a single image file.  I believe that this application is similar
to trying to create a landscape from multiple photographs.

I scan the original into a PDF containing multiple images.  I then open this
PDF as layers.  I have been able to rearrange the layers, raise and lower
them, and merge them to create a single image file, but I have 2 problems:

1) Sometime the key spots within the layers which I need to line up prior to
merging the layers are not right on the edge of either layer.  To perform
the alignment I need to make at least the outer portion of the upper layer
partially transparent so I can properly align them.
2) Once I am finished the contrast between the two layers is generally such
that the edge of the upper layer is clearly visible in the merged result. 
Once again if I could make the outer edge of the upper layer transparent on
a gradient to fully transparent at the edge, I could make the edge
invisible.  I think of this operation as feathering the layer, but
searching through the documentation and web guides I can only find
feathering as applicable to images, not layers.

The following is an example of the result I currently have:

from microfilm.

  Should GIMP then also include matching GTK+ and GLib? And other
  mandatory dependencies?
 
 The hangup for many users is gegl and babl, and not the other 
 requirements.  The distros are more likely to include them. perhaps 
 it is because gegl and babl are relatively new libraries, while the 
 others have been with us for quite a while. 

Users don't build software from source. If you are building software
yourself, then you are a developer. And you shouldn't really have a
problem to compile these libraries then. If you have questions, you are
of course free to ask them and we will try to help. But please don't ask
us to simplify the build process in such awkward ways. The source tree
is not aimed at users. Users should use whatever their distro offers.
