[Gimp-user] Help needed with icon creation
I'm trying to create an icon for a music app, but am having a few problems as a newbie to the Gimp. The icon greatly enlarged is attached below. My problem is with the elliptical speaker. I need to create a flange which represents the fixing points of the loudspeaker, and also need to to create some reducing ellipses on the cone to give some feeling of depth. Can anyone give me some hints? I've got the 2.2 manual running on one machine, and am working on FC2 on the other machine using Gimp 2.0. Thanks for any help. Nigel.

[Gimp-user] Batch save as with *baseline* encoding
I want to be able to view my photos on my new LG dvd player; however it only recognises the *Baseline* encoding. I can of course manually open each jpg, do a 'save as' with the 'Force baseline JPEG' option and overwrite the original using the same filename. But obviously it would be nice to use the command line to do a batch of jpg's al at the same time. Is this possible? (also recursively thru child directories). TIA Blessings, Nigel Ridley -- It's not a problem -- it's a learning opportunity. -- ___ Gimp-user mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.xcf.berkeley.edu/mailman/listinfo/gimp-user

[Gimp-user] USB scanner, Xsane and Gimp
Hi all, I know this isn't exactly Gimp stuff - but I am trying to access my new USB scanner through the Gimp: File -> Acquire -> Xsane: Device dialog and I figured that lots of you guys must have already set up a USB scanner :-) Anyway, I've done a lot of google-ing but so far have been unable to find out how to set it up. When I re-booted the system (I installed a new sound card - SBLive [which I'm still trying to get working]) the usb modules loaded ok and I have an entry /dev/usb/scanner0 (-rw-rw-rw-). However, when I try to access it from within the Gimp (or thru Xsane), I get an error message that no devices are available. I did do a 'sane-find-scanner -v' and got the following: sane-find-scanner: checking /dev/usb/scanner0... open ok, vendor and product ids were identified sane-find-scanner: found USB scanner (vendor = 0x04a5, product = 0x20b0) at device /dev/usb/scanner0 Do I have to mount the scanner first- if so what do I put in /etc/fstab? Or is it that I have to make the system think that it is a scsi device?

The email reply that I got from Unisys informed me that I needn't pay the license fee so long as the gif was created with an app that HAD paid the license fee - such as PaintShop.

[Gimp-user] Problems with Mandrake 9.0
Hi all, Has anybody else experienced problems when trying to change the color of individual pixels when creating or editing a graphic? When I try to change the color of individual pixels using the pencil ( with the smallest *point*) the pixel may or may not actually change; sometimes, actually quite often, the pixels are changed in a seemingly random order, substituting the surrounding pixels instead of the one that I clicked on (if I drag the pencil, then blocks of pixels are randomly changed). This also happens when using the eraser tool. It is not an actual problem with The Gimp because if I minimise, then restore the graphic's window then the actual changes made are seen rather than the *apparent* changes as seen when working on the graphic. It would seem then that the problem is a rendering one rather than a bug in The Gimp itself. I have the exact same problem on my laptop (also with Mandrake 9.0) - so it's not a problem with the video card - but never experienced it before using Mandrake 8.2 on either computer. Maybe I could install The Gimp from source in a directory of it's own away from Mandrake's installation and therefore avoiding the rendering issues - would this solve the problem? If so how do I do it and satisfy all the dependency requirements? cheers, Nigel Ridley.

Re: [Gimp-user] Eraser tool for a specific colour?
Gimp does not have a colour eraser "tool". It does have a colour to alpha plugin though. By default the plugin will remove the selected colour from the whole image. To constrain this you will need to make a selection befor running the plugin. Nigel Karl Auer wrote: > Hi there. > > Is there an eraser tool that will erase only a specific colour?

Re: [Gimp-user] Filling on a transparent background
Hope this makes sense; Place a white layer underneath - return to the transparent layer - double click fill tool; turn on sample merged and set MODE to BEHIND, will probably need to push threshold up as well, then fill.

Re: [Gimp-user] Removing Background Tutorial
Step3: Right clicking on the white widget (or whatever its called) will allow windows users to select forground or background colours bypassing the need to set values manually.

Re: [Gimp-user] Rotate
Using the measure tool to determine the angle followed by the transform tool is another way to do this. Nigel > the photo is crooked. I want to align the photo so it is streight.

Re: [Gimp-user] Combining (two) photos with overlapping areas
Check out Grokking The Gimp, section 7.5 it has an exercise in panoramas that covers the blending, alignment and colour adjustment of overlapping images. Using resynthesiser is a novel idea, would be keen to see how this might work myself.

Several problems seem to be solved: - overlapping areas are not totally identical in structure - overlapping areas are different in colors due to influence of light (sun) Anywhere I have seen a hint to use the resynthesizer to do this job. But I can not see the way to do so.

Re: [Gimp-user] Looking for a certain tutorial
Was bored so did a quick search (but then google is always quick when the right key words are choosen, only took me two goes, but I digress). Go to google, key words; gimp, mask, shadows. Should be the 5 link down, the graphics-muse site. This site was in a mess when I went to it, so ended up loading it from googles cache . The levels or curves tool can be good for bringing out detail in shadows as well so you may want to look into that sometime as well.

There is a balloon script out there, I downloaded it not so long ago just to see what it does, it looks like it might be what you are asking for. I got it from http://technoid.xodox.com/ or at least I think I did, can't be sure as the site seems to be down right now.
