This makes total sense to me. If you work for ad agencies, for example,
everyone will want to be using
the same
When I go to crop something, Gimp crops it very nicely but, unlike, PS, the
image is then impossible to do anything else with as I now have a floating
layer. My instinctive response was to flatten and save but flatten was
greyed out. Then I discovered this anchoring layer command and that has

most of you are using. It seems most of you are on Windows or Linux.

Most of this art work was done on Photoshop and my aim is to be able to do
it on the Gimp. I'm already doing some of it on the Gimp but it is a
transition when you've been doing things one way for a long time. Here are
my links to see the work. I don't see any reason why I shouldn't be able to
Sven,
I have an idea for something which might be fun to do as a group and
educational as well. Each person (who wanted to participate) would take an
art step phase further using GIMP until we had a completed art work. For
example, let's say you'd start it using a brush. Then maybe I'd go into
ok, guys, i was wondering if i finally had this floating selection problem
solved because i am pretty much dead in the water without layers and cut and
paste. so i opened gimp and just used the default black brush and made a
bunch of black squiggles on a white canvas. then i altered that version
Also Carol you can right mouse click on the floating layer and select new
layer which can be very useful.

PS Welcome to the gimp
The Mac doesn't have right click. Instead, you use with your left hand the
control key and with your
right the mouse bar on the macbook (or a left mouse
i used to teach in a college setting but in a non-art dept. the commercial
art courses were all given with adobe products. this was good from one
standpoint, i.e. that the students would be using the programs that an ad
agency or similar would be using. It was bad from the standpoint though

Since I read that many of us are in agreement about not wanting to continue
reading about the ongoing feud, I just wanted to let everyone know that I
will not be reading any more emails which have the above two headings.
Those seem to be the two that the feuders are using. Thus, if a comment is
rather than relying on sharpen to sharpen an image, i have much better luck
using levels or curves.
i also typically increase saturation some on images after i have done a
layers or curves adjustment.
i thus almost never need to use sharpen, which is good, because sharpen
usually doesn't make my

Version 2.4 of the GNU Image Manipulation Program is finally out.
Developers, artists and user interface designers from all over the world
worked together to make GIMP more powerful and
i too have found myself using pngs a lot more than jpgs and for the same
reason. the image came in as
a jpg though, i went ahead and worked with it as a jpg. however, i too
would have preferred tackling
it as a png file. my absolute first choice would be a tif but it was given

I just upgraded my macbook to the Leopard OS (wonderful). However, one side
effect of this is that GIMP is now dead. I can't get it to launch or do
anything. X11 still launches and seems fine but that isn't helping GIMP
any. So far this is the only program affected but since i've only had

longer have GIMP but I've got the video podcasts for it! You just look up
