On my Slackware 9.1+ system with kernel 2.4.26 I have just upgraded to Gimp
2.0.4 and have the following issue.
1) Unless I am being stupid this later version of Gimp seems to have made all
the tutorials resident at www.gimp.org/tutorials redundant. I do not know enough
about the new environment to repair this else I would volunteer.
2) Text tool in the new gimp does not give me the option to select fonts or

 If the image is a photograph choose File | Save As... and save the image
 as a JPEG (jpg extension) with a different name than the original (you
 probably don't want to overwrite it).  The Save As JPEG dialog will be
 displayed.  Make sure that the Preview (in image window) option is
 turned on.  This both displays the size the file will be and updates the
 image window to show what the resulting image will look like.  Then use
 the Quality slider to achieve a balance between the file size and the
 image quality.

Steve Crane,
Thanks for the tip. I have snipped the rest of your message for it is a
photograph.
I did not know about the Preview option in the save window. A point however is
that with Gimp-2.0.1 I see the file size changing but nothing seems to change in
the image. Is this old eyes or am I being thick again?

[Gimp-user] Blending two photos

2003-12-21 Thread Alf C Stockton
I have two photos taken 6 months apart. Both were taken at 07:00 AM, of the
sunrise ie One in the middle of winter and the other in the middle of summer.

Now what I would like to do is combine the two images into one but with one
fading into the other.

At first glance the blend tool should do the trick but as neither image has a
single colour background this, I do not believe, will work.

The secnd approach I took was as laid out in an article by Eric Jeschke in Linux
Journal April 2003 using Layer Masks and adding Filters, however either I am
doing something really silly or this does not work in Gimp 1.3.20.

So, so far I am a little confused.

Any suggestions on how I should attempt this will be gratefully accepted.
