Thx for GFIG

2000-09-06 Thread Dennis Plöger


Hi again!

Thx everybody.After a long time of downloading and compiling (glib,
gtk and gimp), because I didn't got the latest version I finally got that
great gimp including gfig and I think, it's really great.
So long for now,
Dennis

Use ImageMagick from your most favourite programming language, e.g. like this
from the shell:

convert myinputimage myoutputimage.eps
convert myinputimage -geometry "40x40" myoutputimage.jpg

 Photoshop, but there is a problem with slow computer.

Gimp is not particularly fast (for batch processing, that is), since it
focuses on giving fast and esp. good results for artists ;)

Working with selections and channels.

2000-09-06 Thread Simon Wood

Hi all,
I've been exploring the more advanced aspects of Gimp (well more advanced than 
Paintbrush anyhow).

I think I've got the right end of the stick when it comes to channels as a method of 
storing selections for later use. However I've across a problem/feature I can't think 
of a way to work around.

1). Take a picture, select an area (such a sports car) and convert this to a channel - 
great works fine.
2). Deselect area (as if you're doing something else) and use channels to restore 
selection, cut and paste - I now have the selection as a floating selection.
3). Move/Rotate/Scale the selection to a different area of picture, I want to save 
this new selection/position to another channel so I can do work with it later - but I 
can't seem to do it.

Whilst the selection is floating the 'convert to channel' is greyed out, and as soon 
as I defloat to current or new layer I lose my selection.

Anyone have any workarounds??

Batch process jpg files in Win98

Have downloaded GIMP for windows but own up to 
being a novice atthis kind of thing!
Very grateful if someone could advise me how to 
change the image size in pixels of around 40,000 jpg pictures in one or a few 
batches? Using Windows98.

Many thanks in advance
John

I would say use this instead

Maybe someone else will have better advice for using gimp.

Getting gimp to work with $LANG?

2000-09-06 Thread Carl-Johan Sveningsson

Hi all.

Everytime I start up my gimp, every single one of the perl-scripts
complain about not reconizing the swedish $LANG, "sv"...gimp does, but I
suspect that all the errors and checking done by perl makes the
startup-process take much longer than it has to.

Anyone know of a way to fix this, or is the only solution to unset $LANG
for gimp?



perl: warning: Setting locale failed.
perl: warning: Please check that your locale settings:
LANGUAGE = (unset),
LC_ALL = (unset),
LANG = "sv"
are supported and installed on your system.
perl: warning: Falling back to the standard locale ("C").


Thanks.

Re: Working with selections and channels.

2000-09-06 Thread Renzo Lauper

Hi Simon

I hope I got your problem right, if not this solution might not help... :-)

After having scaled/moved/rotated your floating selection create a new layer out of 
it. Afterwards activate this new layer and choose Layers-Alpha to Selection. This 
should get your scaled/moded/rotated car selected again.

Hope this helps

Re: convert parts of a white backround

2000-09-06 Thread Renzo Lauper

Hi Christian

If you want to convert all the white background, try the "by Color..." out of the 
select menu and use the bucket fill afterwards.

If you want to select a particular white area which is surrounded by your curves use 
the magic wand (is this the word in englisch?) ("Zauberstab"), the forth icon in the 
toolbox and click in the white area. This tool selects an area until it reaches a 
border with a "threshold"-difference to your starting point.
Think of it as a stone thrown into water, which produces waves. Those waves go on in 
all directions, until they reach something, that stops them - in your picture this 
border is a different color which differs threshold (Tool Options dialog) from the 
starting color (where you clicked.)

Hope it helps

Hi John,

Seeing as you have downloaded the Windows port of 
GIMP, you might find this page helpful : 

http://www.gimp.org/~tml/gimp/win32/

It has a couple of mailing lists specifically for 
GIMP for Windows.

cheers,

selection to paths?!

2000-09-06 Thread coleen


Hi, 

I'm new to the list and also new to GIMP.  I'm a long-time Photoshop user
and visual designer, so I can maneuver around a tool like GIMP/Photoshop
pretty well; lots of UI similarities.

However, I'm having trouble with paths in GIMP.

I run 1.0.4 on Redhat Linux on my laptop, and also on my Solaris box at
work.  Both boxes run Gnome, of course.  

On my laptop, when I choose  the Layers, Channels... menu item, I get the
tabbed inspector that has only two tabs: Layers and Channels.  Isn't there
supposed to be a paths tab?

On my Solaris box, when I do the same thing, I see the paths tab there,
but when I try  "paths to selection", I get an error that says something
like: paths to selection failed.  

Very unhelpful.

Also, I'm used to working fast in Photoshop with keyboard shortcuts...
does GIMP have that functionality?  

Frustrated,

Coleen
