[Gimp-user] Alpha channel and pixel transparency value

2009-04-15 Thread DJ
Hi Gimp-user,


I'd like to know the transparency value of a pixel in Gimp. In PSP,
when you run the cursor over a pixel it'll tell you the RGB and the
alpha percentage.  Can I get this information in Gimp?

Thank you.

Have you looked at docs.gimp.org to find out the answer to some of
these questions?

Anyway, the 'Cursor' dockable does this.

 It may not appear like it, but yeh.  Sorry.

 I'm hitting PF1 all the time to get specific doc too.

 I do a google site search for terms too.

 I didn't quite know what you meant by Cursor dockable. So I checked
  Windows - Dockable Dialogs, and didn't see that terminology. A friend

Eh, maybe it is called 'Pointer' dockable. I don't use GIMP in the
English language, but Lojban.
The menu item in question appears after Undo History and before Sample
Points in the menu.

http://docs.gimp.org/en/gimp-windows-show-dock.html
http://docs.gimp.org/en/gimp-pointer-info-dialog.html

I noticed that pressing Shift+F1 over the 'Pointer' menu item only
gives the 'EEK! Missing help' page. This is probably a bug in the
docs, since the relevant page does actually exist.

  I scrolled across the image. That checkbox option eluded me...

Such an option is not available in GIMP. If you would like it, I
suggest making a mockup and submitting it to
gimp-brainstorm.blogspot.com.
However, the Pointer dockable works fine for me for this purpose, on
the rare occasions I need it.

Do you have a good reason for replying only to me rather than the
list? It makes the thread on the mailing list appear disjointed.
Here, I use 'Reply to All' to reply to messages from mailing lists,
and this is effective.
