[Gimp-user] Text Editing Problems
I am using Gimp version 2.6.11 under Mac OS X version 10.4.11. I am having a problem that is driving me to distraction: When I close a file and open it again, it is impossible to edit the text. Please note that before saving the file, I have no problems editing the text--so I have already passed hurdle. It wouldn't be so bad if it was just a word or two, but I am in a situation where I will have to delete several paragraphs of text and re-type them in order to fix a small typo. With my typing skills, it is likely that I will make another typo in the process. And, of course, I don't remember what font I was using, or the type size, etc. etc. Any suggestions and explanations would be welcomed. ___ Gimp-user mailing list Gimp-user@lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU https://lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU/mailman/listinfo/gimp-user
[Gimp-user] Text Won't Enlarge Past 30 PX
I am a new Gimp user and have just started working on my first project with this application. Unfortunately, I ran into a roadblock almost immediately. I am unable to make text any larger than 30 PX. I can enter larger sizes than this in the Text Tool window, but any value greater than 30 has no effect. It doesn't matter whether I am trying to change existing text or am setting up the Text Tool for entering some new text. Selecting different units for the text size makes no difference in the maximum text size. Any ideas?

[Gimp-user] problem modifying selection
thanks @owen and @claus, but this isn't the problem. I know about the different modes and use them a lot. This is something that sometimes happens, and I don't know if I'm accidentally pressing something. As to ctrl^T, that's not it, because it's not about the visibility of the selection, it's about the selection itself. The selection actually disappears and is replaced by the new one, whichever mode I use, and whichever selection tool I use. (it's easy to tell what the selection is by pressing ctrl^comma and seeing the extent of the fill, even when the marquee is invisible) The funny thing is that it happens only sometimes. Could it be a bug? Hi Andrew, Andrew wrote: I have trouble sometimes modifying the selection -- the new selection replaces the old instead of modifying it.

Jay Smith wrote: Using Gimp 2.6.6 on Ubuntu 8.04 (Hardy) Linux. We are testing using Gimp to replace Photoshop on Windoze. However, we are hitting one problem/feature we have not been able to resolve. We scan images of postage stamps (using xsane from inside gimp). There are multiple postage stamps are on a black background. Some of them are a little crooked and need to be rotated. We CAN rotate them as desired, but are ending up with unwanted white triangles at the corners. We have set the background color to black (and tried changing foreground too). Then reselecting and rotating. No difference. In the preferences on file creation, for background, there are setting choices for white, transparent, foreground color, or background color -- but NOT black (unlike Photoshop). Not sure if this is the problem. When the image is created, coming in from xsane, there is only one layer. Method: - Scanned using xsane from inside gimp: multiple postage stamps on a black background. - Set background color to black. - Draw selection around ONE stamp and use rotate tool by dragging the grid around. Direction = corrective; grid on -- works as desired (but gets white triangles) Transform (in the rotate tool palette) - tried Layer (works but gets white triangles) - tried Selection (just rotates the selection box and not any part of the picture -- that is very odd!!! -- does this not work or do I not understand what it is supposed to do??) Clipping -- is set to Adjust, but also tried the other settings all of which still end up with white areas. I understand that I could draw selections around the various unwanted white parts and fill with black, but that is a big pain -- we scan thousands of such images and would thus have to do 4x thousands of fills. Is Gimp unable to auto-fill those background areas? Or do I not have something setup correctly? Is the problem related to the way in which we acquire the image in the first place? What am I missing This is automatic in Photoshop (as long as the background is set to black), so I assume that Gimp would do it even better. Jay There's probably a better solution to this, but if you add an alpha channel to the image before rotating the selection, then instead of white triangles you'll get transparent sections and you can add a black layer below to fill them in.

It's just the display that shows the image as if the alpha channel only had 1 bit. This is a historical decision, made to make it easier to work with GIF files. The alpha channel is actually kept intact. The PNG save plug-in does not support saving indexed images with full 8bit alpha channel though.

[Gimp-user] Reduceing colors in the Alpha layer
I have a problem. I am making flash games but there is a 10 meg limit on the total size of the game I can make. In order to do what I want i need to compress my sprites as much as can be done. I am using PNG files. I have in the past I have reduced the number of colors and removed the alpha layer and used only one transparent color. What I want to do now is reduce the number of colors like before but also use a alpha layer. This reduction of colors really helps reduce the size of the sprite and after I put it though PingOUT I really get a smaller size. However I want to reduce the number of colors in the alpha layer and keep the color set to RGB. I've been using the index color option and then set it back to RGB color. This works file for the picture but it does nothing to the alpha layer. I have tried using posterize on the alpha layer. It does reduce the total file size but not by much. In the past I have found that postersize does not reduce the number of colors saved in the index. It only makes it look like there are fewer colors. I have tested this much and it does store many colors many of which are the same. I have tried my best to reduce the number of colors in the alpha layer but to no luck. If I could reduce the number of alpha colors I could really make a good looking sprites for my game. File size is a big deal, while at the same time I want to have some sort of alpha layer. Even if it doesn't have all the colors it would have normally. I have been using gimp 2.2. I am getting the new version now. Sorry for the long post. -- Andrew R.

Lanczos downscaling is interesting, but you won't find that in your copy of gimp -- it's still being worked on. The Wikipedia article certainly was over my head. From what I read on the Gimp bug page lanczos scaling is not yet perfect. (But then what is?) I have to upscale images from 16M to 48M and it seems the client takes them apart and looks at them through a microscope and rejects them if there are signs of sharpening or interpolation artefacts. So far as I can see, my Gimp (2.4.0-rc2) does have lanczos downscaling Thanks for your help, Andrew ___ Gimp-user mailing list Gimp-user@lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU https://lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU/mailman/listinfo/gimp-user

[Gimp-user] Path tool not working
Hi I am simply trying to get an area I select active so I can fill it, copy it, remove it, add it to another picture. If I use the path tool, it is not working. even if I start gimp from scratch, and make a new area, it is still shown with the no entry sign!?!?! I was trying to do this with a bmp, and I changed it to a jpg in case that would help - no difference. Occasionally, strangely, with nothing I have done apparently having any effect, the path tool is working. Then, when I use the path tool, the from path and to path are greyed out in the selection pull down menu. if I use the intelligent scissors, I can outline an area, but I can't do anything with it. Now I come back to the app, start everything again, and the path tool is not working again. I use the intelligent scissors. I can make a shape. Once again, the from path and to path are greyed out!?!?!? I have tried flattening the image, both with a picture and a blank page ( which did seem stupid! ) but this makes no difference. I have googled for help, but I don't think I am searching for the right things. Obviously this is easy when you know how. Equally obvious, it is not intuitive, not to me anyway!

[Gimp-user] Coloring questions
I'm trying to build menus for DVDs which are sensitive to the number of colors in the pgn files. I've got two related (I think) questions concerning coloring in The Gimp. I want to create a layer with text on it that will be used as labels for buttons. I want the text to be in a single color and the layer to have a transparent background. That should total to two colors in the layer. When I create the layer and then save it as a png file, it winds up with about 10 colors. I assume this is because of antialiasing, but I'm not experienced enough with The Gimp to know. How would I create the text in a single color? Second, I want to change the color of text on the first layer to generate a png file that will be used to indicate highlighted buttons. How do I change all the non-transparent pixels in a layer from one color to another? I've tried painting and bucket-fill of each character, but that is tedious and generates yet more colors per layer, I suppose because of feathering. There seems like there should be a simpler way.

[Gimp-user] Extracting all pixels of a certain colour
Hi I want to extract all pixels of a specific colour (to be more precise look a certain colour). I am finding that there is some variation in the colour. so if I try select by color. I only get a subset of the pixels. Is there a way of selecting all pixels close to the colour I want (where close can be determined by experimentation!) Secondly can I move all these pixies into another layer/channel or image. I want to repeat this operation for a number of colours. Selection to Channel looks as if it might help but I didn't understand what to do then. Andrew ___ Gimp-user mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.xcf.berkeley.edu/mailman/listinfo/gimp-user

[Gimp-user] text tool crash (bug 154144 ?)
Mandrake 10 Community I was using the gimp2_0-2.0.4-1mdk.i586.rpm that came with the above distro without any problems. I then upgraded to gimp-2.0.5 (tar.bz2). Now the text tool causes Gimp to crash after either one or two keystrokes. If it crashes after the second, the first letter I type appears on the image but not in the editing box. Where do I go from here? Back? TIA, Andrew ___ Gimp-user mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.xcf.berkeley.edu/mailman/listinfo/gimp-user

[Gimp-user] positioning layer
I'm using gimp-2.0 to create a few graphical buttons with centered text. Each button will have a regular image and a rollover image. I need to position the text layer in precisely the same spot on each pair of images, so the text doesn't move when it switches from the normal image to the rollover image on the site I'm building.

Re: [Gimp-user] positioning layer
That does help. Thanks. Bill Lee wrote: Why not just use the SAME layer? I have a collection of buttons with widely varying text and the same background, frame, etc. I created the background once in its own layer and then created as many text layers as needed. To actually create the button, I select the background layer and the appropriate text layer and save to a gif (whatever) file as the appropriate button name. The whole schmeer is saved as a gimp xcf file so I can always go back later and add more text and create more buttons as needed In your case, create the background and the roll-over background in separate layers. Then the text in a third. To create the button, make only the background and the text active, save to a gif. Then make only the roll-over background and the text active and save that, too. If the text needs to be changed for the rollover (e.g., color, etc.), you could make a copy of the text layer and simply do some color substitution. Hope that helps. It works well for me.

[Gimp-user] transparent PNGs in IE
I know there's already been a lot of discussion on this subject and I've read pages and pages, but I'm still unclear. I realise that just about all recent browsers support PNGs. But, is it or is it not possible for IE (v. 5, for example) to correctly display a PNG with a fully transparent background so that anything behind it shows through? My PNGs are OK in Mozilla, Netscape, Opera, Konqueror and Nautilus, but in IE they have a rectangular white background that completely wrecks the effect.

[Gimp-user] wacom graphire table
I'm having a bit of difficulty getting my Wacom Graphire table to work with gimp. I have read through the fairly extensive resources (linuxwacom.sourceforge.net, Wacom-HOWTO, Wacom-mini-howto, Gimp/Wacom tutorial on GUG, etc), and have gotten pretty far, but things aren't quite working for me yet. I have gotten to the point where Gimp recognizes the three devices (cursor, stylus, eraser) in the input devices dialog. However, when I try to set the stylus mode to Window, I get odd behavior that is mostly categorized by only being able to move the cursor on one axis. Depending on the axes mapping, the secondary (stylus) cursor only moves in one direction (either up and down or side to side). This behvior is not specific to the table as I can use the stylus as a core pointer device in absolute mode under XFree86 (with KDE) and it works just fine. However, under Gimp I get the wierd one axis thing. Anyone seen this before? Here's my configuration: - Wacom Graphire Table - Linux kernel 2.4.20 - gtk 1.2.10 (recompiled with --enable-xinput) - Gimp 1.2.3 (compile from source) - XFree86 4.2.0 - wacom kernel module v1.30-j0.4.0 Relevant section of my XF86Config: Section InputDevice Driver wacom Identifier stylus Option Device /dev/input/event0 Option Type stylus Option Mode absolute Option USBon Option Tilt on Option Threshold 10 EndSection Section InputDevice Driver wacom Identifier eraser Option Device /dev/input/event0 Option Type eraser Option Mode absolute Option USBon Option Tilt on Option Threshold 10 EndSection Section InputDevice Driver wacom Identifier cursor Option Device /dev/input/event0 Option Type cursor Option Mode relative Option USBon Option Speed 3.0 Option Threshold 10 EndSection Any help appriciated.

Does anyone know how to wrap text around a curve (eg ellipse) so that the whole text is curved? The only way I've found to do it is to move each letter individually and align them by eye.
