Can anyone help with this please?  I want to be able to crop to an

suggestions would be rear with great interest!  Thanks! Using Gimp 
with Windows by the way.


How about selecting a circle, inverting the selection and then 
clearing that part from the image, then when you print it on paper 
you can just cut it out and use as you plan?

Re: [Gimp-user] Color Picker in Gimp 2.6

 Is that still possible in 2.6? Can someone tell me how to make that work?

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.


Thanks for the idea. I appreciate it.

[Gimp-user] Color Picker in Gimp 2.6

2011-08-05 Thread matt1027
I'm using Gimp on Windows and just upgraded from version 2.2 to 2.6.

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

[Gimp-user] Smooth line for print

2009-04-07 Thread matt1027
I'm trying to make a simple map that I can import to a MS Word 
document for print purposes and I'm having a couple of challenges.

When I make a straight line it is very jagged and the text looks 
pretty bad when I print it out on paper.

I can add the text after I import to Word if necessary but I would 
like to get the lines to look nice.  Can someone tell me how to do this?

Also, since my printer prints at 600 dpi, I set the image properties 
to 600 dpi.  Is that correct?

Thanks,

Matt

Re: [Gimp-user] Changing the color of a PNG image

I'm pretty new with GIMP (installed 3 hours ago) and have already 
one question: how can I change the color of a PNG image?


I've tinkered with the color map rotation function but to no avail. 
Is there any issue with PNG images ? Or with layers ? What is the 
standard procedure to change colors on a simple image ?


Did you select an area of the image or the whole image before you 
applied the color map rotation function?

Just click on the above link, which is at the bottom of every email that
goes out to the list and it will take you to a web page where you can
unsubscribe. If you forgot your password, leave the password field
blank when you click the unsubscribe button and it will ask you if you
need a password reminder.

MSWindows?


In Gimp 2.2.11 for windows there is an aquire option under the file 
menu with several sub-options under that.


You can also hit the Print Screen button and then do a paste.

Hi, I have to add a watermark to my photo  but I don't know how 

can you tell me what I can do, I have Gimp for linux



I haven't come across a tutorial written specifically for Gimp yet but here 
are a couple written for PS but you should be able to adapt them for Gimp 
or maybe someone on the list would create a Gimp tutorial based on the concept.
