In the old version I could use the color picker to get a color from the desktop or from any other program window that was visible behind the Gimp image window. Is that still possible in 2.6? Can someone tell me how to make that work? Thank you, Matt You could take a screen shot (in Windows hit the PrtSc key) of your desktop or whatever program you have open, then in GIMP click File Create from Clipboard, and use the colour picker on that to select what you want. Then just close the screen shot, don't save. In linux I use KColorChooser instead and paste the chosen #color into gimp. It's not too cumbersome. - Richard -- Richard Kimber Political Science Resources http://www.PoliticsResources.net/ ___ Gimp-user mailing list Gimp-user@lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU https://lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU/mailman/listinfo/gimp-user
Re: [Gimp-user] Gimp in Unity

For those people using Ubuntu 11.04, Unity is the default environment in which they will be working. I very quickly removed Unity and installed Gnome on my computers. You could also choose the old classic Ubuntu from the login screen without any removal/install actions. - Richard -- Richard Kimber Political Science Resources http://www.PoliticsResources.net/ ___ Gimp-user mailing list Gimp-user@lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU https://lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU/mailman/listinfo/gimp-user
