I claimed that some of them were, and some of the weren't. You would
know that if you read before commenting.

 Did they challenge the status-quo of beat people up if you don't agree
 with them?

You are building offense on top of another offense and claim to have
started a constructive discussion. That's some logic I cannot
understand.

 It doesn't matter how the argument is worded .. what matters is
 Does it have merit?.

We've discussed the merit a lot of times. There team already
provided the final answer to the question. Is there a merit to
discussing it again? Not that I know of.

Personally, I think that some of your points were spot on, other --
completely bogus. Is this something you could live with? :)

 I can live with my reactions, no problem. There's no blame here. Just a piece 
 of
 software which really needs something more than a bunch of programmers arguing
 on a vacant discussion thread about common sense software design. Don't want 
 to
 change the GIMP to make sense? Not my problem.

 But given the reaction and discussion herein, I'll not be attempting to make 
 it
 my problem in the future. Good luck to you Alexandre.

Likewise.

Re: [Gimp-user] Printing Color Managment

 If this is about the Gutenprint plug-in, then any wrongdoings are most
 likely on its side.

Actually, after another reading of the original mail I think I made a
rush judgement. It's quite possible that GIMP is sending incorrect
data to the printing plug-in. I'm not sure if Elle looked at this part
of the color management implementation in GIMP during her work last
year. If that's indeed what's happening, it would be great to fix this
in 2.10.

[Gimp-user] Creating Transparent Text

2013-02-16 Thread Denise Hamilton
I am working on a webpage to sell my photography. I am trying to create
text with my copyright information on the photos so that they cannot be
copied (pirated).

I have read the GIMP documentation and experimented with adding text to the
photo. I cannot find how to make the text visible but not solid. I do not
want it to impact the viewing of the photos.

Someone once told me I needed to create a mask to do this or a custom
brush.  Someone here on the gimp-user list said i could do it just with the
text tool.

Any help you can offer will be appreciated.

Lower the opacity of the text layer in the layers dock.
