[Gimp-user] GIMP Success celebrated on Flickr
I haven't been able to figure out how to share this message with the GIMP developers more directly, so maybe some people here can help spread this message? http://blog.flickr.net/en/2013/05/03/modern-day-salvador-dali/ I'm an amateur photographer and photo artist. I make almost no money at my data entry job, and just have a point-and-shoot camera and GIMP. For the past two years I've been using and experimenting with GIMP, and for the past year or so it's been my only graphics manipulation software. I completely believe in the Open Source programming philosophy and the amazing work everyone who helps out with GIMP is doing. This past Friday, March 3rd, the Flickr Blog and Yahoo! Studios posted a three minute video of the work I've been doing with GIMP, which you can get to at the link above. I thought people who were instrumental with the creation of GIMP might want to know about that success. I'm frequently asked if I use photoshop in my images, and I'm proud to tell people, Not anymore. GIMP is my go-to software of choice. Thank you so much, all of you, for all you do to make this such an amazing and powerful and easily accessible piece of software. You are the best!! If anyone knows how I can more directly reach the developers and promoters of this software I'd love to let them know. Thanks for your help with this. yours in peace and inspiration, -=- Garth Hill Photomaginarium at Flickr ___ gimp-user-list mailing list gimp-user-list@gnome.org https://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gimp-user-list
[Gimp-user] Selection Bug?
Here's the situation; I'm using GIMP 2.8.x I'm attempting to make a pressed letter effect with two layers. One layer is a text layer, the second layer (above the first) is a selection of the text from the first layer. I'm attempting to fill the selection on layer 2 with black and nudge it down by three pixels. So, I have the selection filled on layer two, but I can't nudge the outline with the rectangle tool, and I can't used the position spinners either. Is this a bug? Or am I not thinking like the developers on this? ___ gimp-user-list mailing list gimp-user-list@gnome.org https://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gimp-user-list

First, you'll end up with a drop shadow effect if you do this. Bump map on a blurred copy might work better. Second, though, make sure the layer you want to move is the active one in the Layser dialogue (control-L to show it) and use the arrow keys to move it. You may need to right-click in the image window and press ESCape to dismiss the menu, to give keyboard focus back to the image.
