Re: selection to paths?!
I think the paths option is only a function of the developers version of gimp 1.2.x. Yes Gimp has shortcut functionality too, the key shortcuts are listed on menu items when you right click on any image. Its also possible to reassign these shortcuts. From memory you press the keys you want to assign after highligting a particular menu item Nigel - Original Message - From: "coleen" [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Thursday, September 07, 2000 6:02 PM Subject: selection to paths?! 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
Re: selection to paths?!
Hi Coleen 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? The paths tab was not included in version 1.0.4 yet. Try to install 1.1.25 the most recent version which is really stable already, I use it almost daily and crashes are _very_ rarely. Also, I'm used to working fast in Photoshop with keyboard shortcuts... does GIMP have that functionality? Gimp does support shortcuts in a very useful way. You see the already defined shortcuts in the menus to the right like "Ctl+D" for example. To define your own shortcut just go to the desired command in the menu, and press the desired shortcut. If this shortcut was assigned to another command already, the old one will be overwritten. Isn't that easy? Frustrated, Not any more, OK? :-) Hope this helps Renzo Lauper -- -- LINUX: Reboot once a year...just for fun. -- Take a look at www.gameoefter.org
Interesting feature - fast editing of huge images?
Hi all. Once tried it, the more advanced user will quickly realise the quality improvement associated with resolutions of ~200 dpi instead of the more regularly used 72 dpi... One will also quickly realise that this is h*ll on a low-memory machine... I've heard some exciting rumours, about gimp to some extent being able to support reduced loading of huge images into memory, so that one can still work on these without too much effort... For example, often I'd like to work on a at least 1500x1000 image at my P133...with some layers...this is unthinkable... However, working zoomed-out, I should be able to bare it, rendering zoomed-in portions on demand... Someone told me that if I zoom in at a small portion of an image, the rest of the maybe huge image shouldn't at that moment be loaded into memory...is this true for gimp? Can anyone tell me of the inner of gimp, if any features exist to improve the performance on low-end computers with large images? Can anyone tell me if there are any plans at all to try to implement a "Hey, won't you go render this 2x2 m poster 100dpi for me and dump it to a jpg while I sleep?" in gimp? That'd really be awesome... /WoC "...you look strong enough to pull the ears off a Gundark."

We have a hub. My brother didn't understand "autonegotiation". I can rlogon from either computer and I can ftp quite easily between the two. Treva's modem isn't working yet. It is kind of cool to see them working together. I chuckle when I am rlogon-ed on to one and then I ftp from the other. I'm afraid that I had the hue-saturation problem before I had the new computer. I had blamed it on installing ImageMagick and messing with the image libraries. But then I had the same problem on the new computer after upgrading to gimp 1.1.25. And here I am. alan -- ___ _ _____ __ / __\ /_\/__\ /___\/ / / / //_\\ / \// // // / / /___/ _ \/ _ \/ \_// /___ \/\_/ \_/\/ \_/\___/\/
Script-Fu
Hi Anybody with Script-Fu experiences? I would like to write a very small script (actually my first...), which would be able to do the following for me: - Add a drop-shadow (script-fu-drop-shadow) - Flatten the image (gimp-image-flatten) - Save this "new" picture under the old name (gimp-file-save) Here is my try: cut here - (define (script-fu-wof-shadow image drawable) (script-fu-drop-shadow image drawable "8" "8" "15" '(0 0 0) "80" TRUE) (gimp-image-flatten image) ) (script-fu-register "script-fu-wof-shadow" "Image/Script-Fu/WoF/Shadow" "Fuegt einem Bild einen Drop-Shadow hinzu, fuehrt Flatten Image aus und speichert das neue Bild."

Guash
Hi everybody, I recently installed Gimp 1.1.24 and (hopefully) all components including xv (running on SuSE Linux 7.0). I tried to find Guash (as described in the Manual), but couldn't find it (neither in english nor in german version). Has anybody an idea what I'm doing wrong?

Re: selection to paths?!
the paths work fine, at least in linux with the devel gimp. this includes paths that are not closed (it just makes the last line for you, same way photoshop does it) the easiest way is the make your path and then click in the middle (the cursor changes to give you a hint that you can do this)
Printer Woes and Gimp
I am trying to use gimp (ver 1.0.4) ) Epson Color Stylus Driver 600 and a Epson Color 640 printer to print graphics to a 8.5x11 surface (paper, photo paper and transparancies so far). The command " /usr/bin/lpr -Plp -l" is used from within gimp's printer set up. Regardless of the scaling or positioning the image always prints the same size and roughly 90% of the image prints on one sheet while the rest of the image is printed to a second sheet. Is any one familiar with this problem and any possible fixes thanks, -lloyd -- "Art and the holy are twins." -Jerome Witkin, painter *** http://www.morpheme.com ** mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] ***
make fetish?
Does the Gimp have some kind of make fetish I don't get.. er, grok? I must be missing something rude, cause I can't even make the stable Gimp! I'm running Redhat 6.1, and have installed perl 5.6, glib-1.2.8, gtk+-1.2.8, and Gtk-Perl-0.6123 from sources downloaded from gimp.org and gtk.org. Am I missing a package? I'm just trying to install the stable version at this point, gimp-1.0.4. (Hope some of you gimpheads remember that one. ) Configure did have a problem finding gtk-config; but a symlink seemed to fix that. Otherwise, everything seemed fine to my ignorant soul until make exited with the following flourish: Making all in /home/amarel/a /bin/sh: /home/amarel/a: No such file or directory make[2]: *** [all-recursive] Error 1 make[2]: Leaving directory `/home/amarel/dl/v/x86/gimp/gimp-1.0.4/plug-ins' make[1]: *** [all-recursive] Error 1 make[1]: Leaving directory `/home/amarel/dl/v/x86/gimp/gimp-1.0.4' make: *** [all-recursive-am] Error 2 I'm 'amarel', and '/home/amarel' is my home; but what the g*mp is that 'a' about? Gone through the archives to no avail, and would much appreciate any insight. -DA
