Hello, Ubuntu repos states 2.4.6 is the latest: This is correct for Ubuntu 8.04. See http://packages.ubuntu.com/search?keywords=gimp Thus I presume I don't have the correct Gimp repositories enabled Ubuntu ones are not up-to-date for my version 8.04. There are no (official) GIMP repositories,

You need to hold down the SHIFT key while dragging your layer with the Move Tool, otherwise GIMP will move the topmost layer which contains a non-transparent pixel under the pointer (since your added layer was transparent, the layer underneath it gets checked). This behavior is controlled

[Gimp-user] Levels tool with Layers

2009-08-09 Thread Carusoswi
I have never really worked much with levels (in Gimp or anywhere else such as PS) because I've really never gotten the hang of it. So, I was starting through the 'meet the gimp' tutorials (from session 001!!) and realized that part of my problem is that I need to change the mode in order to see

Are there still plans to implement Layer Styles? Example: http://www.tutorialized.com/view/tutorial/Underwater-Text-Effect-in-Photoshop/50439 This would make GIMP much better and has been requested since **2002**. http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=79025. Is there a particular reason why

[Gimp-user] More on Layer Styles

2009-08-09 Thread Robert N. Lott III
Upon further investigation, something called GEGL is being integrated into GIMP which will eventually allow for non-destructive editing. In other words, if I want to apply a shadow to text, it doesn't rasterize the text (preventing me from modifying the text).
