Now when I am going to use Gimp it also sees the movement and it sees the different tools (i.e. eraser and pen) but it nearly never sees the pressure. Often folks forget to turn XInput on.

Select wacom Device Select Mode (screen maps the tablet rectangle to the entire screen; window maps it to the Gimp canvas window) Many Gimpers use Linux and the XFree86 X-Window system and GTK+ has built-in prejuduces for this combination. This environment has tablet drivers that pack the valuators in X-Y-Pressure-X_Tilt-Y_Tilt order. Your environment may vary from this ordering. The Axis tab allows you to experiment with this ordering. X Y are almost universally first, but the remaining parameters can vary. These options not offered? No options offered? Check if the tablet is properly configured for XInput devices. You will likely have to look at Wacom and your X Window system (Or Windows literature -- you've given no hint about your hardware) Possibly your GTK+ package was not built with XInput enabled.

[EMAIL PROTECTED] (2001-08-06 at 1343.02 +0800): Having said that, there are a couple of negative points to add (I haven't used Photoshop much at all, so these may not be as favourable to PS as I think): there seem to many more filters available for the Adobe product than the GIMP. Often, the books I referred to above will say Default GIMP distribution does not come with all the avaliable plugins / scripts. Sometimes you have to download and install them (maybe compile too). With PS you have to buy them sometimes, get them free other times. I remember the famous Alien or Kai plugins, you get equivalent ones default in GIMP, but not the Refract one. Also, some effects can be optained with a bit of imagination, and a script if you want to reuse them, inner shadow can be obtained with drop shadow, for example. Secondly, from all the screenshots and descriptions of Photoshop I have seen, they seem to have more standard shortcuts than the GIMP. Now, I Give menu paths, that way everyone can see what the operation does. Saying hit key x does not help, saying use this operation of menu foo does. Then the user will hit the keys (whatever they are) if he wants. - GIMP does not and cannot really ever have colour separation. This is dues to patent issues. If somebody workarounds the problem, GIMP will be able to do that jobs. I think that plugins could be propietary if done properly (taking care of what libs are used), so someone could pay the fees, do the prepress routines as a plugin and then sell it. - My understanding is that GIMP has better scripting capabilities. I think the real things is that in GIMP you can program scripts, in PS you can record them. That means different levels of complexity, both to create them and what the script will be able to do. I have not played much with PS, so I can be wrong too in the points about PS. ;] GSR ___ Gimp-user mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.xcf.berkeley.edu/mailman/listinfo/gimp-user
[Gimp-user] Precise movement.
As a long time user of Photoshop, I've unfortunately gotten used to some of it's features. I've since switched over to using the Gimp, but there are a few things that I continue to miss: I oftentimes find myself requiring a lot of precision when moving selections. Ideally, I would use the arrow keys to move the floating selection; and therefore nudge as I see fit. Unfortunately, I can't find a way to accomplish this through any of the menu items, preferences, documentation, or mailing list archives. Is there a way to bind the arrow keys to act similarly? (Preferrablly, I'd like to actually have the arrow keys automatically float a selection and begin moving that floating layer; rather than moving the layer that the selection is on.) I'm not necessarily stuck on this /particular/ setup. I understand that it's not the Gimp's role to do everything just because PS does, and I'd certainly welcome an alternative method. Additionally, I also find it very hard to work with the edges of a layer -- the blue and yellow border makes it very hard to correctly gauge alignment -- particularly near the edge of an image. Is there a way to disable it? I'm using version 1.2.1 -- would upgrading to 1.2.2 or a development version help? Thanks in advance for any help, and thanks for contributing to an amazing program!

Re: [Gimp-user] Creating more natural/traditional appearance effects?
Hi, I can't give you any tips personally because I have the approximate artistic talent of a mossy rock, however, my sister Angela is quite good--in my perhaps biased opinion. She has a site called the Blue Cardinal Galleries at http://angela.newcreature.org, where she divided her works into a gallery of traditional art, and one of digital art. BTW, her galleries are automatically generated by a python script I wrote which imitates the gPhoto (http://www.gphoto.org) gallery generator with the added benefit of being able to add titles to each of the images. It uses gPhoto template files, so you can use the default gallery themes or create your own (as Angela has done). If anyone is interested, I can put it on the web for download.

Re: [Gimp-user] Only transparent when completely transparent
Note: These directions work in GIMP 1.2.0 for Windows. It should work for Linux versions, but you may have to slightly vary them because of different versions. (I do have Linux, but I've been downloading an upgrade, and I need to get a USB hub to get my mouse working.) Anyway, here's how: (It does notmatter whether you're using a Layer Mask or an Alpha channel.) (This one had me stumpped for a bit.) (Also make sure your image's black on white. If it's the other way around, Invert it.) 1. Open the image (or make one) and use Layers--Flatten Image. 2. In the Layers, Channels Paths window, right-click on the layer and choose Add Alpha Channel. 3. Right-click the layer again and choose Add Layer Mask... and click OK. 4. Click on the left-hand preview image in the layer list. (It's the one that looks like your image.) 5. Use Edit--Copy in the image window. 6. Click on the right-hand preview image in Layers, Channels Paths, then Edit--Paste in the image window. Click to anchor the selection. 7. You should now have a white image with transparent text. Image--Colors--Invert it. Now, you should have a transparent image with black text. 8. Go to Image--Colors--Threshold. For the range, put in 1 as the first number and 255 as the second one.

[Gimp-user] Graphics Muse Tools 0.4 - build updates
FYI - I'd been contacted by a user that my old Graphics Muse Tools no longer built with Gimp 1.2. After much delay, I fixed that. They should work fine with 1.2 and GTK+ 1.2 now. The build environment should also be easier to deal with - the config.h only needs to know where the gtk-config and gimp-config scripts are located. If they're already in your path, you probably shouldn't have to do anything. Hope someone still finds these useful.

Thank you very much. I guess this could be taken a couple of ways. First the easy way, assuming you just want to take two images and paste them side by side, or one on top of the other. You can do this with imagemagic, but gimp will as well. My way is how I learned to do it, not necessarily the best way. Create a new image that has the proper width/height of the image you want to create (that is, depending on whether you want the images on top of each other or side by side.) If the images will be on top of each other, then the new image's height should be the sum of the heights of the two images you're working with, and so on. Then just cut and paste each image to the new image, adjusting them accordingly before anchoring them. The other possiblility here is that you literally want to mix two images, that is, one on top of the other, where parts of both images show. If you just cut and paste one image on top of the other, none of the lower image shows through the upper image. Open up the layers, channels dialog. Note there is a transparency slider. Use this to adjust the image transparency of the image you're pasting, before you anchor it. Understand that your transparency could be modified depending on how you save the image, since different formats support transparency differently (or not at all). Hopefully that will help you a bit. Maybe a REAL GIMP artist will provide a better solution. :) ABe ==http://rumputlaut.n3.net/ === Universitaet Bremen, Meeresbotanik AG Kirst (Zi.A2200) FB2, Leobenerstr/NW2, 28359 Bremen.

Another way to select a limited area by color is to use the Magic Wand tool - the one that selects contiguous areas. (Next to the lasso in the toolbox). Whereas Select by color selects everything of the desired color, the magic wand selects only those pixels that are adjacent to the spot where you clicked, so it won't automatically give you multiple, discontinous selections. -- --Jeff Jeff Trefftzs [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.tcsn.net/trefftzsHome Page http://gug.sunsite.dk/gallery.php?artist=68 Gimp Gallery http://trefftzs.topcities.com/home.html Photo galleries ___ Gimp-user mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.xcf.berkeley.edu/mailman/listinfo/gimp-user

I believe that the magic wand will select a 'color range', which can and will include a range of colors. If you select and move your mouse while holding the button, the selected area will grow/shrink as it widens/narrows the range. I just tested this as follows: create an image, Fill this area with a gradient. Select roughly the center of the gradient, but hold the mouse button down and move your mouse north/south or east/west.

[Gimp-user] Printing
Hey All, I have a question on printing. Just recently, my printing setup changed from the lprold/BSD which was installed when I installed SuSE to CUPS, quite by accident I might add. But, I do like CUPS better as far as the controls and drivers and such. What I don't like so far is my graphics printout. Printing out of any graphics programs, besides GIMP, I get what looks like ordered dithering and some bad coloring. I managed to get some reasonable printouts from GIMP though, because it also has my printer driver listed, the HP Deskjet 850C. The coloring was still very dark, but much better and there seems to be control over dithering and other things also. Now am I right in assuming that GIMP has it's own special printer drivers, kinda like WordPerfect? It goes outside the CUPS setup to do it's own thing? I know I have read about more printer drivers, maybe even updated ones for GIMP, that can also be used for CUPS? I have not installed the 25mb of printer drivers my SuSE came with for CUPS, so should I do that first or should I get the GIMP drivers and use those in CUPS also?

Hi,
I am a Photoshop user (nobody's perfect) and I've been playing with
Gimp for a while. Since photoshop can not do what I want (at least do
not know how) I've decided to try to do the same thing under gimp.
I need to apply a set of effects (such as resize, ajust levels,
shapen etc) to a large group of files, saving them in another directory.
I've developed an action under photoshop but it forces me to open
the files manually and presse the Go button for each one.
What I'd like to do is use Gimp (or other tool - in this case email
me privately) to open all files located in a cretain directory, apply a
predefined set of effects and save the files with the same name in a
different directory.
Since I've never worked with script-fu (I suppose I'll have to use
that) I'd like to know if someone could send me some tips about this or
even snippets of code to do what I want.
Mario-
I don't know what platform you are working on but I recently managed to
get some batch processing done in Linux using perl and the gimp-perl
module. In fact I have been lurking this list for a week or so as I was
trying to get this working.
Here is an overview of what I did to get this working and if anyone has any
comments like Dummy, you did not have to go through all that you could
have done blah blah I would certainly be grateful.
First, A little background. I have a rudimentary knowledge of perl and
have been fairly involved in linux adminstration for several years. I have
an extremely basic working knowledge of gimp and almost no other graphic
tools.
The task that I ws trying to automate was the opening of a an animated gif
that is sent to us from a business partner and that is huge, 3.5 MB or so,
and sometimes comes with the layers compositing and sometimes replacing. I
need them to be replaced. I found, as I was trying to learn about this
image and why it was compositing rather than replacing that if I saved it
in gimp with the correct layer defaults, that the file size was reduced to
less than 200K.
This was perfect if only I could figure out a way to automate the gimp
steps.
I wanted all software installations to be accomplished via rpm to
facilitate the recreation of the environment on other machines. The
process is running in cron as a normal user
There are several issues I had to overcome:
1. 1. upgrading gimp to the latest I could find in order to justifiably
ask for help. The server and my test box are both running redhat 6.2
with several, but as I found not all, the upgrades availible from
redhat. I found an rpm that worked perfectly at
ftp://ftp.gimp.org/pub/gimp/binary/RPMS/
2. 2. upgrading perl with the modules that would provide the hooks into
gimp.
3. 3. running on a machine with no X (gui interface ) running
4. 4. Figuring out what the syntax was in perl to call gimp
5. 5. trouble shooting errors
The packages that I installed were as follows:
perl-Gtk-Perl 0.7000 6 from
ftp://ftp.redhat.com/pub/redhat/linux/6.2/cpan/i386/
Mesa 3.2 2 redhat cd
perl-PDL 2.003 6
ftp://ftp.redhat.com/pub/redhat/linux/6.2/cpan/i386/
gtk+ 1.2.8 1
ftp://ftp.gtk.org/pub/gtk/binary/RPMS/RedHat-6.2/RPMS/i386/
gimp 1.2.0 1 ftp://ftp.gimp.org/pub/gimp/binary/RPMS/
gimp-perl 1.2.0 1 ftp://ftp.gimp.org/pub/gimp/binary/RPMS/
XFree86-Xvfb 3.3.6 20 redhat cd
Ther perl modules alread installed were:
perl 5.00503 2
perl-libnet 1.0605 2
perl-Tk 800.018 1
perl-HTML-Parser 3.05 6
perl-libwww-perl 5.47 6
perl-URI 1.05 6
perl-Net-SSLeay 1.05 5
I had to upgrade glib package to install the new gtk+ on one of the boxes
I then had to make sure there was an X display that gimp could use,
otherwise the script would hang and gimp showed up in a ps axf output as
defunct.
This was not a problem until I moved to the X-less server. On the server I
started Xvfb with the following line in a script startXvfb:
scripts]$ cat startXvfb
Xvfb :1 -screen 0 10x10x8 -pixdepths 1 -fp
/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/misc/,/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/Speedo/,/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/Type1/,/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/75dpi/
I leave this running on the server started as the user the cron process
runs as with the following command line:
nohup startXvfb
The perl program that does my conversion is called radarsave.pl:
scripts]$ cat radarsave.pl
#!/usr/bin/perl -w
print entering $0\n;
use File::Basename;
$numargs = @ARGV;
$progname= basename($0);
if ( $numargs != 2 ){
print the number of args is $numargs\n;
print Incorrect number of arguments. \nUsage $progname infile outfile\n;
exit 1;
}
use Gimp;
use Gimp::Fu;
#set_trace is important to see what gimp is doing.
#You don't get this in script-fu as far as I could learn
Gimp::set_trace(TRACE_ALL);
Gimp::init;
print `date '+%b %d %T' `.loading $ARGV[0]\n;
my $img = Gimp-file_gif_load($ARGV[0],$ARGV[0]);
print return code = $?\n;

Thus spoke Jim Clark [EMAIL PROTECTED] Thanks for the suggestions, solved my problem quickly and easily. Some worked better than others, though I am sure it was my ignorance that did it. But I would love to see somewhere a little more explanation of the screen mode on the bucket fill. I'm looking at p 126 of The Artist's Guide to the Gimp and all it says is screen brings out highlights. What did I do when I followed your directions? In simple terms, Screen adds color and brightness to dark regions. Whereever the existing pixel is already above a threshold (defined by the color being used as the screen), nothing is added. Where it is under, varying amounts are added, depending on how dark the pixel is. So the black regions got full blue color. The gray regions got blueified. The effect is that a photograph, for example, will get lightened and somewhat colorized, making it appear washed out. I didn't go into excessive detail in the Artists' Guide because I wanted to keep things very introductory. It wasn't meant to be as encompassing as Grokking is. I did, however, have to read through the code to figure out what each mode did. There wasn't any other documentation at the time that described them, and I had never (and still haven't) used Photoshop. -- Michael J.

Copypaste the line in the rescaled image back into the gap and there you are. If you want to get it even better you could copypaste two lines above and below the broken one, and then rescale to 25% vertically (make sure you have set Interpolation Type to cubic, otherwise it's not much use), but I don't think that's worth it quality-wise.

Re: [Gimp-user] creating new brush?
Subba, I'd agree with Rebecca here. What you're trying to do sounds a lot like a clone operation. To use the clone tool, select your source by holding Control, and clicking where to start copying from. Then release Control, and paint into the destination. All of this uses the current brush shape do to the painting. If you really want to make a new brush (it doesn't sound like it from your description) you can always save as a .gpb (gimp pixmap brush) into your ~/.gimp-1.2/brushes directory, refresh the brushes, and select your new brush.

Re: [Gimp-user] effects, simple question
Hi Krasi - For your emobssed text, your best bet is to look a the tutorials at gimp.org. You can reach them easily by following the link from the GIMP Toolbox: Toolbox/Xtns/Web Browser/GIMP Tutorials In general the trick is to use your text (say white text on black background) as a bump map. One can play more complicated tricks with blurs and layer masks, but for a quick preview try this: 1. Create some white text on a black background. 2. In Layers and Channels, create a new layer, just above the text layer. 3. Fill this new layer with some medium gray. 4. Image/Filters/Map/Bump Map... Use the text layer as the bump map. Play with the parameters to the Bump Map plugin - you can invert it, or use linear, sinusoidal, or spherical mapping, etc. Your second question: How to make an image lighter in the center and darker at the edges: one easy way to do this is to place a new layer over your original image, fill the new layer with a radial gradient running from light (in the center) to dark (at the edges), and set the layer mode to SCREEN. To make the effect even more apparent, duplicate the gradient layer and set the top copy to MULTIPLY mode. Which leads into your third question: how to make a layer partially visible. Open up the layers and channels dialog and set the transparency for the selected layer to whatever you want. A lot of this is explained in both the GIMP User Manual and Grokking the Gimp, both available on line from the Toolbox/Xtns/Web Browser menus. I strongly recommend you look at these references. I have both books installed on my system and use them heavily.

[EMAIL PROTECTED] (2001-10-17 at 0233.32 -0700): How to make a text embossed, If I use Distorts-Emboss it changes the color, and I need to keep the colour. Use bumpmap or lightining effect plug-ins instead. How to make an image ligher in the center and darker in the corners? Some playing with layers and a gradient... uum, I have to investigate this, one idea is modes, another masks and another one selections. Sorry, no clear which is easier and will work. :[ Tried http://www.gimp-savy.com/? Maybe you can learn that there, and learn other basic ideas that can help in other cases. How to make a certai nlayer be 50% visible? Open the layers dialog, and move the Opacity slider.

[Gimp-user] Re: a little help
[EMAIL PROTECTED] (2001-10-17 at 1224.30 -0200): 1. how can i turn a coloured photo into black-and-white ? Three ways at least: decompose to HSV, convert to gray scale or desaturate. Grokking the GIMP talks about this, so visit it and check the differences. http://www.gimp-savvy.com/ 2. how can i change the gimp's language ? Launch it with LANG=pt_BR gimp instead of gimp.

[Gimp-user] Re: Re: creating new brush?
[EMAIL PROTECTED] (2001-10-15 at 0829.49 +0200): Just go ahead and export it and see how it works. You are right, Bex. :] When I try to save the image as a brush, I get the Export File dialog with message, GBR can't handle layers Flatten Image. The version of Gimp is 1.2.2 on linux. Another option is to try to save as animated brush (.gih, gimp image hose), a case in which layers make sense and you get a different dialog, but I am trying to understand all the options of that dialog (the URL I had is down).

[Gimp-user] Re: [Gimp-developer] Scanner Epson FS200 negs wrong pixel line SUGGESTIONS
On Tuesday 02 October 2001 08:56, Javier Hernandez wrote: Hi All, I have a problem with a Epson FS200 Slide/negs Scanner. The problem is more obvious with negatives than with slides. The problem is that I always get one of the pixels in the negs more clearer than the rest of them (i.e. a white line crossing the scanned negative). In the case of the slides the line is darker than the rest of the scanned slide. Using another scanner (minolta scan dual II) I have randomly experienced a similar problem. As far as my experience goes, it seems to disapear when I wait a bit for the scanner to warm up before initializing it.

[Gimp-user] Help with ImageMagick to co-exist with Gimp on a W$98 box
Hi ,sorry for contacting you about another associated issue but the email structure that must be adhered to is a bit laborious for ImageMagick Group- to say the least .Please can you confirm that you can run and build your configure program utilising Visual C++ IDE . As fro reading the notes further seems to be the case in order to compile . I thought one could run ImageMagick from MS-DOS. But all attempts have failed so far , if you did manage the latter please send me some poniters before i get the sack or as i believe you run Visual C ++. Thus is it possible to run ImageMagick from Ms-Dos and is there a executable configure program around for those like me don't at work use Visual C ++ . Note that the above is working fine on my Linux R/hat Box but Gimp and ImageMagick is to be deployed on our W$ app Server as a Image Editor and Photo Library.
