Hue-Saturatrion Trouble

2000-08-28 Thread Carol Spears
I was running gimp 1.0.4 (linux 2.0) and everything worked very nicely. I upgraded to gimp 1.1.24 (still on linux 2.0), I had many problems. One of the big problems, for my purposes, was the ImageColorsHue Saturation window. Light and dark "worked", but changes to hue and saturation were not

I seem to remember someone giving instructions on how to have and use two versions of Gimp. I would like to use a 1.1 version for all of the new and great things, but I would like to run a 1.0 version for all of those great old and un-updated plugins (while I patiently wait for busy developers

Running two versions of gimp on one computer is easy. Thanks for the help. I ran gimp 1.0.4 on the old computer for a long time and it ran beautifully. When I upgraded to 1.1.24, I lost control of the hue and saturation through ImageColorsHue-Saturation. I got a different computer, I

Do all of the work on your image in the RGB format that the Gimp will start you out with. If you are in a situation where you must save your image often, saving in the Gimps native format "xcf" saves the most information and is the least hassle. The very last step before the "Save" should be

Also, this may sound like another obvious problem, but how do you draw a hollow or fill circle/box? It seems like you need two more buttons like the selection versions, except something that will draw a box. I know how to draw a line, but there is no meta key combination for the pencil tool

I think that you are trying to save an RGBed image as a gif. Gimp will not do that. Work with the image in RGB. When you are ready to save it, use ImageModeIndexed. That will give you some interesting possiblilities. Once the image is indexed, it will save as a gif. If I am not reading your
