Zeus Illustrator Bajing Loncat Studio http://www.bajingloncat.com ---BeginMessage--- this letter is waiting for moderator approval. i thought a simple forward would be best. - Forwarded message from Nathan Carl Summers [EMAIL PROTECTED] - From: Nathan Carl Summers [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: Carol Spears [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: New Gimp FAQ: Call for questions Date: Wed, 18 Dec 2002 13:06:01 -0800 (PST) The gimp web team has desired that the current FAQ's be updated to reflect the current 1.2.x reality for some time. Unfortunately, it has not been able to contact the FAQ maintainer, and the licence on the current FAQ's do not allow for modifications. If we are not able to contact Miles soon, we will have to do a clean room reimplementation of the FAQ's from scratch. The results will be placed under the GNU Free Documentation License. We have decided to do this in two parts. First, we will issue a Call for Questions. Please send in all questions you would like to have in the new Gimp User FAQ to [EMAIL PROTECTED], and CC them to the lists for discussion. Once the questions have been selected, I will arrange them and issue a Call for Answers. Please then send me a message stating your intent to write an answer, and CC it to the lists so that no one else takes that question. If I do not recieve an answer within three days, I will open that question up again. Once all the questions are answered, I will send a final draft out for comments. Soon thereafter we will start with the Call for Questions for the Developer FAQ. I must reiterate that copying from the current GIMP FAQ's is simply not acceptable. Such submissions will be rejected. If English is not your first language, don't feel that you can't take part. Any grammar mistakes will be lovingly corrected, so even if your English is not perfect, you can still contribute significantly. FAQ entries should be written with respect to 1.2.x, but should also contain any significant changes in 1.3.x. If you don't use 1.3.x, it is not neccessary to mention differences in 1.3.x -- they will be added by the GIMP web team. Please do not assume that all readers of this document will be Linux users -- we want to treat users of all supported operating systems equally, to the extent that our limited resources are capible of supporting.

I can not wait untill 2010 to wait gimp supporting CMYK, if GIMP want to beat PS, the first target is supporting CMYK. I don't think that the main idea of GIMP is to beat any other application. And also you didn't really read the whole mail did you? He said j-o-k-e. But it will take time to do this things even though you might think it is easy it is not. You have to give things like this time. And next time read the whole mail and don't read between the lines. What I think he tries to say is that there is no actual date for anything right now. Regards Ahhaha it's my mistake, i know it was a joke, but i forget to tell you guys, that i also didn't very serious when telling that gimp beat other applications (f.e PS). I like GIMP a lot, in fact right now iam making a manga (japanese comic) using gimp, since it's only use grayscale mode. I dont have to worry about gamut or CMYK color corection. If i want to making color illustration, i switch into W$ and run PS. Since it's faster coloring in PS, for printing only. If making color illustration for screen some time usin GIMP (linux). OK, my apologize, if some one affense what i was said. But, it would be great if GIMP support CMYK (hehehe :) ), but i can wait..and pray, coz i can't help.

Re: [Gimp-user] Unable to seek to tile location?
Jenny Drake wrote: Hi all, I have to problems with the gimp at the moment. I'll put the second in another message as its a little more complicated to explain. I'm working with large images, 14764 by 2953 pixels. Yes they do need to be this big. The machine used for the work has 1GB of RAM and a 1.9GHz Athlon processor. The number of undo levels in the gimp is set to three. Tile cache size is set to 512MB. Typical projects have two or three layers at any one time. After a while working I get the following gimp error messages after I tell it to do something. This message repeats often many times. The message box has an OK check. unable to seek to tile location on disk: 22 Message repeated ** times The command I've given gets carried out and nothing appears obviously wrong with the image after this message comes up. Watching the resource usage by the gimp shows that memory usage is a little over 50% when this message starts to occur. Is this a ram problem, a hard disk one, or something else? I've been unable to find anything about this message in the documentation, or from a web search. Any idea what it means? The best way of preventing it? Try to change your temp directory to other partition with more free space, and check in ~/.gimpx.x/folder and find a file called gimpswap. just, delete the files. and restart gimp. The message tells you that gimp cannot write to the swap because the home partition it's full. hope it's help -- zeus;] http://zeus.coolfreepage.com||personal web page http://www.bajingloncat.com ||Bajing Loncat Studio http://www.bajingloncat.com/forum ||Bajing Loncat Forum ___ Gimp-user mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.xcf.berkeley.edu/mailman/listinfo/gimp-user

It's a pity that I can't do it without flattening the image.. Drag the layers in small image to the big image. The layers from the small image will be placed in the big image automatically.

Re: [Gimp-user] Q: How to force gimp on a certain Gnome-workspace?

I have two workspaces in my current Gnome environment. One is called Main and the other Gimp. Now I want to force gimp to workspace Gimp when I start it from the foot-menu (no matter if the currently active workspace is Main or Gimp). Is this possible? Or do I have to write a dedicated startup-script in order to accomplish this? I've searched with google for some time now. All the info I was able to find on the recent Gnome 2.x desktop didn't help in regards to this issue. This is not GIMP related at all, GIMP can not even do this since it doesn't know about workspaces. Workspaces are handled by the window manager, the application doesn't see them. If you use a featureful window manager such as for example Sawfish you can configure it to match GIMP windows and make them appear on a certain workspace. Sven Yes, it's true. If your window manager is Metacity. You might want to try Devilspie.
