I can't find any of the existing python-fu plugins either but they must be there somewhere because gimp shows some in the menus.

Re: [Gimp-user] Getting rid of those nasty little white dots around an image....

I have selected it quite accurately, but now I still have those pesky 'white' dots. It looks terrible - a bit like it has no anti-aliasing (I think that's the term). I have tried to blur it with the raindrop tool (blur and sharpen tool), but this makes the image quite fuzzy and not at all good to look at. I did try a shaper blur nib, but that does not seem to have any effect. Any help gladly accepted. Thanks Hamish, This method is blunt force, but it works. Enlarge the image with zoom (+ key or = key as I map it) till the smallest pencil tool is one pixel, make your background color active, change each white pixel to background till you are done.

If you are not an expert do not try it. If you are running RH9 or FC1 you can upgrade to FC2. If you want the simple easy answer just upgrade to fc2. It comes with version 2.0 of gimp.

Ditching suse for debian would also be a good idea. I too had literally the worst experience thus far in my Linux life trying to install GIMP 2.0 on a Fedora Core distro. Some blame may go to FC and some to the GIMP website. I do NOT know enough about installing software and administering Linux systems to accurately identify what made my experience so dreadful. However, let me point out that it just 'worked' on Windows. All I had to do was download the exe installer for GTK and GIMP, install A before B, and it was done. On Fedora, I tried installing RPM, but had failed dependencies that I could *not* find. The point is this.it doesn't matter *why* it is difficult, it matters that it *is* difficult. The result is that people will not use the GIMP unless they are on Windows, or they are/have access to a Linux guru to install it. Chopped Here Greg, For Fedora, you need to learn to use yum. If you installed FC from an RPM, it should already be there. Check in /etc for yum.conf . If it's not there, go to the source where you got the Fedora RPM and install yum. For the new Gimp you need to be in Fedora Core 2. As ROOT, do an update to be sure you are current with patches. yum -y update yum will check your system packages, for patches and dependancies, download the needed files, then run a test transaction to be sure it can succeed. Then it will do the installation. Running this on a regular basis will keep you up to date for any patches for vulnerabilities that have been found and corrected. To install Gimp run yum -y install gimp I hope this helps. John Dietsch ___ Gimp-user mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.xcf.berkeley.edu/mailman/listinfo/gimp-user
Re: [Gimp-user] Xsane again.
John, I don't know your precise setup but i am using my Epson scanner with Gimp 2 Xsane. I submitted my setup and method yesterday with details. Gimp 2 Epson scanners.

However Gimp still gives me a message that Xsane does not have Gimp support compiled in. Now if the rest of the world has had success with this patch I will try the cycle all over again. But my instinct is that I should wait until the Xsane guy gets around to applying the patch to the CVS files or whatever so I don't have to fool with it. Patches are not my best friend.

Hi Nick, I accessed your websight twice, once with Konqueror 3.1-12 RedHat using KDE 3.1-10 and then with Mozilla/5.0(X-11;U;Linuxi686;en;rv:1.2.1)Gecko/20030225.

I don't need to do any stitching or anything fancy like that. Can anyone please give me some pointers to help cut down on my research time and learning curve? I know that I could probably dig through the docs and eventually figure this out for myself, but I'm already WAY behind on this project and need to avoid all possible additional delays. Thanks!!! You can copy the images sequentially to a new image that you make at least as large as the two images you're trying to merge. You can get the dimensions using ctl-alt-I, for the information of each picture. Then add the dimensions for the dimension of the new image, so both images fit. It maight be useful to pick a transparent background. Then copy and paste each image to the new image, selecting layers - layers, channels, paths - then new image to convert the floating image to a new layer, for each image. Then magnify hugely depending on how close you want the match to be, and line up the edges of choice as close as you want them by using the move tool or whatever its called. Then do flatten image.
