It seems to do this on it's own when you have a selection and you press the Command button (on a Mac). Why does it do this? What is the keyboard short cut to get it back to Replace Current Selection? It is supposed to switch back once you let got of the button. Also, the behavior depends on when you press the button, i.e. before or after you began to create the selection frame. Maybe this behaves differently on OSX. This would be interesting to know. -- Regards, Michael GPG: 96A8 B38A 728A 577D 724D 60E5 F855 53EC B36D 4CDD ___ gimp-user-list mailing list List address:gimp-user-list@gnome.org List membership: https://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gimp-user-list List archives: https://mail.gnome.org/archives/gimp-user-list

[Gimp-user] GIMP and GEGL in 2014
Hello, We hope you had great winter holidays! Here's our slightly belated 2014 report. Both GIMP and GEGL projects have been quite active. We didn't add any new new tools in 2014, but you are going to _love_ how we improved existing ones. João Sebastião de Oliveira Bueno added fill arrange modes to the Align Tool to evenly distribute items across an image or some other reference object. The Blend tool got a major redesign by Michael Henning, with additional work by Michael Natterer and Simon Budig. Now you can tweak the gradient's end points positions _after_ you created the fill. Much like the rectangular selection and crop tools, the end points have an active zone around them to allow easy grabbing and repositioning. The active zone hihglights disappear when you move the mouse pointer away which makes previewing your changes a lot easier. To finalize the gradient fill, you need to press Enter. The foreground selection tool now uses much improved algorithms for separating objects, especial the complex ones like hair. One of the algorithms (global) was earlier created by Jan Rüegg, the other (Levin) -- by Danny Robson. Michael Natterer updated the tool's options, made individual strokes undoable, and moved some of the controls to the canvas. However, performance of the tool needs to be improved. We'd appreciate some help here. Speaking of selection tools, the ones like Select by Color and Fuzzy Select now have a Draw Mask option contributed by Michael Natterer. What it does is highlighting an area that will be selected when you release mouse button. It's rather helpful if you need to e.g. evaluate the area that will be added to an existing selection so that you could make better choices at once, without going through the undo routine. The color is currently hardcoded to magenta, but this design decision is absolutely negotiable. The Seamless Clone tool earlier created by Barak Itkin got some much needed love from Jehan who made it a lot more responsive. Now you can paste and seamlessly blend into the background pictures that are larger that 100x100px. Alexia returned to work on the brush engine again. As the result, all brush-based tools now have a a few more options: locking brush size to zoom (whether brush size should follow changes in zoom), configurable hardness and force. There's also a new fallback brush cursor, a crosshairs-shaped one, used only as last resort. The text tool was updated by Mukund Sivamaran to use HarfBuzz library directly instead of relying on deprecated Pango functions. This will make sure we always provide excellent support for complex writing systems such as Arabic, Devanagari etc. To make things even more fun, we added 64bit per color channel precision to GIMP. One part of GIMP that already uses it is the FITS loader/saver for astrophysicists. But that bears the question: can GIMP reliably perform when dealing with such resources-hungry images? Well, we made quite a few changes to assist you there. First of all, GIMP now has a switch in the Preferences dialog to enable/disable OpenCL-based hardware acceleration globally (that is, including plugins that can make use of this). When applying a preview to GIMP will also start redrawing the visible part of the image first (the viewport) and work on the rest next. Finally, Øyvind Kolås worked on initial threading support in GEGL. This is still a somewhat experimental feature. The team would happily accept input from people who can give this thorough thoughtful testing. There have been some changes in file formats support too. First of all, we finally merged the updated PSD loader/saver that Simon Lui worked on in 2013. In a nutshell, Simon ported the plugin to GEGL, added support for 16bit files and parsing of advanced features such as text layers and adjustment layers. But since GIMP doesn't have public API for handling text layers, the app still can't load text layers as text. Somone would need to fix this. We also need non-destructive editing implemented in GIMP to make use of the ajustment layers parser. Additionally, Mukund Sivamaran improved and fixed a lot of code to support various file formats, and Roman Lebedev from the darktable project added loading and saving of 32bit TIFF files. Primary contributors to color management implementation in GIMP this year were Elle Stone and Michael Natterer. They added automatic generation of an sRGB color profile matching the one by ArgyllCMS, a widget to display basic ICC profile metadata, and created a new image profile API that is now used throughout GIMP. A lot of work has gone into improving user interface and usability. One notable fix is that now you can drag anything like a layer or a channel between opened images in the single-window mode. Michael Natterer introduced an important workflow change. Before, when you switched tools in the middle of e.g. rotating or adjusting colors, the change got lost. Now GIMP commits the change and _then_ switches to another

[Gimp-user] Gimp trademark.
Hello. I was trying for two days to find a mail from Gimp developers to contact them directly byt i did't find them or some of them where not working so i hope this message will find the way to the people responsible to that question. I'm a student of WSTI in Katowice and i'm working with other students on our magazine for students called Artboard, here are two links to the magazine online preview: http://issuu.com/wstikatowice/docs/artboard http://issuu.com/wstikatowice/docs/artboard_plus_nr2 I'm writting an article about where can students get god sofrware on a commercial/academic/free license and i would like to use the Gimp logo. Will you give me the premission to use that logo in our magazine? (the magazine will be aviable for free, it will not be selled) I am looking forward to hearing from you.

[Gimp-user] GUI Problems - clicking (LB) doesn't work sometimes
Hello, I was on Gimp 2.8.14 (I'm on Win7 64bit sp1) and I was running into this bug where I randomly loose the ability to click on various dialogue box interface items. Observed during resize, color change, rotate dialogues to note only a few examples. It's not consistent. I can sometimes click on an element and then I can't. By element I mean radio toggles, buttons including OK/Cancel/Apply etc. When I open the dialogue, I can click on one or two things - it works - and then I can't click on anything else (even the things I just successfully clicked earlier). Even hinting stops. It's not that the app crashes or is frozen. Using the keyboards still works. If I press alt-a, it applies, alt-cancels etc. It's the actual dialogue interface that's not working. This only happens in the dialogue boxes, does not at all happen in main application. Here is what I did to try to trouble shoot it. Uninstalled, reinstalled - problem persists. Delete all preference/plugins, uninstalled, reinstalled - problem persists. Installed 2.74 - problem persists Installed 2.6.9 64bit - ***PROBLEM SOVED Anyone getting this issue? I've search google and this forum but couldn't find any references to my problem. Maybe it's because I'm not using the right keywords (click problems / clicking issues are very common keywwords). Anyways, I really love version 2.8.+ and I'd really like to get back on it. If there is anything I can do to help the devs debugs this, please ask! I can put up a video or upload logs or give you more details.

[Gimp-user] Anyone willing to contribute a Mac build slave?
Hello GIMP users, Is there anyone willing to host a 24x7 Mac OS X nightly build slave? This would be added as a build slave to the GIMP Jenkins environment currently hosted at https://build.gimp.org/. If you're a willing candidate you would need to donate the Mac, allow it to run a Jenkins agent 24x7, and provide me remote access to it for administration. I will, for the most part, set up all of the prerequisites (so long as I can set them up via ssh) and do all of the configuring in the build server. I would also provide ongoing maintenance of the system.

Hi Pat, Thanks for responding. Regarding other requirements I'm not sure. It will be a learning process for me because I've not built GIMP on a Mac before. I'll follow up by sending you my public key so that you can create a user for me to log in via SSH. Would you be willing to give my user administrator rights so that I can manage it?
