[Gimp-user] what is fisheye and what is eyefish ? (flame render plugin)
In the flame filer (Filters - Render - Nature - Flame) the fractal type can be selected from a list. Among several types there are this two: Fisheye Eyefish Are these different things ? In the French translation the first one is Grand angle (photo lens type, I assume), while the second is Oeil de poisson. In Spanish translation the first one is Ojo de pez, while the second is Gran angular (photo lens type, I assume) In German translation the first one is Fischauge, while the second one is Augenfish. ??

I'm in no way a professional, I mainly do web design using GIMP (which can be a pain at sometimes because it doesn't have layer groups like Photoshop). Try out different things, click stuff you have no idea about what they do. At least that's what I did... Tutorials helped me very little. What might work for one doesn't always work for someone else. To say: This works for me or this doesn't work for me is setting a standard that cannot apply across the board. Tutorials are needed for the masses in general because for many, a starting point is needed. That's how I learned how to use GIMP. I don't like tutorials myself. I love tutorials as they tend to be rather helpful in realizing the potential of a plug-in, filter, or script. Sure, experimentation is strongly recommended, but to say what helps you should help everyone else, is a bit over the deep end. They tend to be rather specific, even though they are trying to teach generalized techniques. I just experiment until I find something I like and than I try to remember what I did so I can do it again. My favorite tool right now is the fractal explorer. My favorite thing is when someone else shows me what I can accomplish from using various tools. Again, experimenting is a necessity, but I can admit getting lost in GIMP for hours on end being in the experimentation mode. I have a good notion I'll never become an expert at using it but boy, do I have fun[0]! I'd go out on a limb and say that for most us beginners, GIMP SHOULD be FUN. And again, why not make it into a tutorial? I can honestly tell you that thousands of GIMP beginners will appreciate your input in the form a tutorial. And I am not being facetious about this.

[Gimp-user] GIMP crashing on memory allocation (WinXP)
I'm trying to edit some large tiffs (620 Mb) and while slow it was going OK. Then suddenly (nothing changed AFAIK) I start getting errors GLib-ERROR* gmem.c:130 failed to allocate 16384 bytes aborting. This was initially on GIMP 2.4.7 but I bit the bullet and installed 2.6.8 to see if that changed anything (it didn't). I take it that the faulting module is libglib.dll which seems to have a version of 2.16.37 (I believe I had an older GTK+ but the GIMP 2.6 windows installer updated it.) This is on the Windows binary distribution. I am running on Win XP sp3 32 bit (x86) with 3 gb switch and USERVA switch set to 2540.. Looking at my system when the crash occurs I see my physical memory (2gb) is maxed out and also GIMP VM is 2 gb. I guess one question is does the windows build of GIMP compile with LargeAddressSpcaeAware set, though I suspect even if that was set in the binary it would still max out. That doesn't explain why it seemed to be working and just now I have problems. I tried playing with the tile cache size option, but that just seems to change how fast the error occurs. It seems that the tiff file open plugin is completing and GIMP is either starting to render or at times render is complete and I try to use a selection tool and then the crash occurs. scott s. . ___ Gimp-user mailing list Gimp-user@lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU https://lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU/mailman/listinfo/gimp-user
