You could render a white grid (with only horizontal lines in it) on a transparent layer on top of your image - then play with the layer opacity until you're satisfied. There's a plug-in for rendering grids included with the GIMP, but I haven't got access to a GIMP installation right now, so I can not tell you the menu path :/ It's somewhere below Image/Filters/Render/ I think.

Of course we need a place/places to sleep as well, but anything from a tent to a hotel would fit this need. MONEY Who will manage the money side of things? We need someone who is good with numbers, to organise a few people to do fundraising. It would be ideal if The GIMP Foundation was a reality when we start the fund-raising.

I'll have to reset that and see what happens tomorrow at work. Try right-clicking the image to display the image menu. Then chose View-Show Selection. If you would like the selection to be shown by default when in fullscreen mode you can change the behavior in File-Preferences-Appearance. #5 I've noticed some artifacts when doing work at high zoom levels.

[Gimp-user] Screenshot plug-in status
Hi all, I recently replaced a large part of the screenshot plug-in (plug-ins/common/screenshot.c) - now it no longer depend on the external 'xwd' utility from XFree86 to work. I have prepared the screenshot plug-in for compilation on different GDK back ends than X11, but I have no means experience coding for these back ends nor the means to test the plug-in on them. It would be nice if someone on say... win32 ;)... would have a go at writing the missing win32 part of the select_window() function. It really should be simple. As a matter of fact that someone could look at the win32 specific winsnap plug-in to see how it is done there. The comments in plug-ins/common/screenshot.c explains pretty much what the code should do. When the win32 specific part of select_window() has been written and committed I plan to retire the win32 specific winsnap plug-in in favor of the new screenshot plug-in. If you have any questions don't hesitate to write me - or follow up on the list.

[Gimp-user] Bug Week!
Hi all! As some of you might already know, next week is the pre-2.0 GIMP Bug Week. The first pre-releases of 2.0 will start coming out the door around the end of this month, and we need to get some concentrated testing done before then, as well as classifying known bugs into those which will be fixed before 2.0 final and those which will be fixed later. For those of you who aren't familiar with the idea, a bug week is a week when we make an extra effort to find bugs (and fix them) with the assistance of the general public. We invite people to join up on IRC (irc://irc.gnome.org/#gimp) to give us feedback, to help the developers prioritize bugs to be fixed, and to report bugs (if you're intimidated by Bugzilla). Apart from bug fixing we also need GIMP users to volunteer for bug triaging. If you are unfamiliar with the concept of bug triaging, the GNOME Project has a nice description of the bug triage concept - please see http://developer.gnome.org/projects/bugsquad/triage/ So if you're a GIMP user and wants to help the developers getting the source code in shape for 2.0 - or if you're a developer with (at least) minimal experience with The GIMP and wants to help fixing bugs in the source - you should definitely show up at The GIMP Bug Week. See you at The GIMP Bug Week!

I haven't done much with the Gimp earlier, but become more interested as the 2.0 nears completetion. The 1.3.17 looks very nice and is performing very well, so I think it may be time to get into a tutorial of some sort to learn more.

Ability to show a grid over the canvas and optionally having the tools snap to it has been added to current CVS HEAD (1.3.x). This feature is not available in 1.2.x - you can however use guides: try click-n-drag on the rulers, drag it to somewhere in the image. Maybe that can be helpful to you...

Re: [gimp-user] rotating
On Mon, 2003-06-16 at 13:41, Gene Heskett wrote: The popup when the mouse is over it says rotation, shearing, scaling, perspective. But I was unable (and the manpage is something like yet to be written for at least 1/2 of those functions) unable to get it out of the rotation mode and into one of the last 3 modes. How is this done? I tried the usual suspects of shift clicking and didn't seem to hit the magic twanger on the other functions. Gimp is 1.2.3. You need to double-click on the tool in the toolbox to get to the tool options. This goes for all the tools. Another way to show the tool options is to use the menu File/Dialogs/Tool Options...

Use the Transform Tool from the toolbox. 2. I still didn't figure out how to quickly create my own patterns (this is a simple procedure in Photoshop). It is a simple procedure in GIMP as well. Patterns are saved with the .pat extension. To make the pattern available from within gimp-1.2 you should save it to one of the pattern directories (e.g. ~/.gimp-1.2/patterns/ on GNU/Linux) 3. A Distort tool seems to be missing in Gimp. Correct me if I am wrong. Did you check the Image/Filters/Distorts/ menu? Not exactly a tool, but I am not sure what it is exactly you are looking for here...
