Re: [Gimp-user] [Gimp-developer] ANNOUNCE: GIMP 2.7.5 released

 Thank you. Are these official GIMP builds? I am just not yet familiar with
 GraphicAll.org :) .


John: GIMP project doesn't provide precompiled development builds, so no,
these builds aren't official.
Some of those builds, however, were done by people close to the project
(Partha, for instance) and they should be safe to use, but keep in mind
that you shouldn't report problems specific of those builds (application
not running, library conflicts, etc.) to GIMP developers.

 Hi,

 GIMP 2.8.0-RC1 has been released. This is the first release candidate

Why not publish it also in the website?

[Gimp-user] adding sides to an image

2012-04-10 Thread theolecowboy
Well, I thought I was getting a partial hang of how to use part of GIMP, but 
couldn't get things to work the way I want.  I'm trying to add sides to some 
images - for example, an image is 250 x 420...I want to make the width 420 by 
adding sides to the image, each added side being 85 pixels each, centering the 
image in the 420 x 420 image.  I added a new layer, then moved the new layer so 
that the image was centered...seemed to work.

I then want to add my site's background color to those sides so that the 
centered image stands out without interfering with the site colorations and a 
larger image link appears centered below the total image.  A bad image can 
be seen here: 
http://shannonwestongifts.com/index.php?main_page=product_infocPath=5_151_152products_id=548.
  What I'm trying to achieve can be seen here ( friend of mine did this for me 
with a different program):  
http://shannonwestongifts.com/index.php?main_page=product_infocPath=5_151_152products_id=525.

No matter what I've tried, I've been unable to add coloration to the added 
sides, and reading the layers parts of the manual hasn't provided me with an 
answer.  Can someone tell me what I need to do after I add the new layer and 
center the image on top of it?

Thanks for reading...have a great evening, and God bless!

The right way:

- Image/Canvas size, and center your existing layers in it
- Either use Layer/Layer to image size to set one or more layers to 
the size of the canvas or add a new background layer (and set it to the 
size of the canvas) (you cannot paint outside of layers...)
