Re: Wacom-tablet: Gimp kills mouse
well i am such a geek that I have multiple computers. I have 1 mon 1 key and 1 mouse. When i switch back and forth between x servers gpm gets all confused about the pointer (I suspect you are seeing a side effect of that same problem. My solution... ctrl-alt-f3 ctrl-alt-f7 (don't move the mouse for a sec) the first one takes you to a tty terminal the second one takes you back into x and for some reason gpm seems to be less confused then .. that works for me.

Re: Some perl error
i ran into the same problem as well.. could building perl 5.6.0 like this ./configure -Uuselargefiles -des (essentially turning of uselargefiles) cause gimp-1.1.24 not to build correctly..? (ahhh well it does ..@ least on my box anyway ) so I guess my question really is does that make since...? P.S. I had to build perl like that for apache dso stuff ;) I am currently separating out the perl trees and rebuilding gimp.

Re: Gimp Install directory
here is a simple shell script that i use install-gimp.sh #!/bin/sh date |tee build-start; make distclean ./configure --prefix=/opt/gimp/gimp-1.1.24 \ --enable-gimpdir=.gimp-1.1.24 --enable-python |tee configure.out; \ make |tee make.out; date |tee build-end; make install |tee make.install.out echo "build start time"; cat build-start; echo "build end time "; cat build-end - note the --enable-gimpdir option that sets the users preferences up in a different directory than other versions. I find this to be handy ;) On Thu, Jul 06, 2000 at 06:01:43PM -0500, Mike Dobbs wrote: > Does anyone know how to get gimp installed and running happy in it's own > direcory without using /usr/local.

I did a quickie touch-up on the image you attached: http://obscura.obscurasite.com/images/fixed.jpg First frame is the raw image Second frame increased saturation third frame... adjusted curves Fourth frame warp sharpened then whitened teeth with dodge tool. I think the warp sharp may have been a little over the top. I would probably use frame #3 if I had to choose. Warp Sharp made the eyes look smaller and I like big eyes. If the image were large I would have finished up by removing all pores and stuff with the convolver tool. -- Jon Winters http://www.obscurasite.com/jon/ "Everybody Loves The GIMP!" http://www.gimp.org/

Re: photo retouch
Hi, It seems that there are quite a bit interest on the link I posted a while ago and also some access problems with it. I assure you that the link itself is no problem, so you should just be patient and try again from different machine (?) I also want to point out that the author of the page (Carey Bunks) is the same one who wrote the book "Grokking the GIMP" and put it on-line for free. There is a whole chapter of it devoted to the topic of using GIMP for retouch and enchancement. I will encourage anyone interested to read it.

Two How-to Questions
Hi all, (1) If you have drawn an outline (e.g. a circle, square or any arbitrary closed path) with a pencil, brush, GFig etc., how can you turn that into a selection ? (note - I am not talking about using the Bezier tool). (2) How can you turn all occurrences of a particular color (e.g. white) into transparent areas ? Thanks in advance, regards, Andrew J Fortune

Re: photo retouch
hi, it depends on how good the original photo is. Are you scanning it directly from slide? negative? or you scan it from print? GIMP should help some, but no miracles here (unless you are a real good painter, and you can "create" something that not originally there, but it is no longer called "retouch" anymore), the old saying "garbage in, garbage out" still holds. the following link, titled "photo touch up and enhancement in the GIMP" should cover the basic stuff. http://www.geocities.com/SiliconValley/Haven/5179/ hope this helps Feiyi Nikolai Vladychevski wrote: > > Hello, > > I wanted to add something beautiful to my site, so I scanned a picture > of a nice lady.

photo retouch
Hello, I wanted to add something beautiful to my site, so I scanned a picture of a nice lady. But the problem is, I never can get it to look like a photos on other sites (like www.lamaslinda.com for example). I tryed Curves, Hue/Saturation, Brightnes/Contrast, Sharpen filter, everything but the photos of others always look better than mine. I want to achieve the quality of the photo I attach, how can I do this with gimp? Or can somebody tell me where to read a good paper about retouching? Thanks in advance. Nikolai
