[Gimp-user] Save for Web for GIF Animations?

2013-08-24 Thread Aviziel
I've done a fair share of looking around, and I've found a few Save for Web
plug-ins that allow me to use sliders to change settings and thus the output
file size, and most (all?) of them work with GIFs.

But so far I've found no way of getting any of them to work on Animated GIFs.
This wouldn't be such an issue, but trying to get these images all under a
certain file size can become a lot of trial and error, so I would greatly
appreciate it if someone could help me out with this.

[Gimp-user] Weird boundary lines on pdf ?

2013-08-24 Thread Boblebad
Hi

I have a problem when exporting to pdf, i get grey boundary lines from some
selections i have made and filled with white color. The bagground is white, so
that's not the problem.

The funny thing is, when exporting to any other image type, i don't get the
lines, it's only with pdf.

All the best
Carsten

Have you tried to display the resulting PDF file with different PDF 
viewers? And different magnifications too?


I had a similar problem appearing only with Adobe Reader, not with 
SumatraPDF.


Hope it helps

[Gimp-user] Problem with the toolbox GIMP 2.8 Mac

2013-08-24 Thread mauricemaurice
Hi everyone ! First time posting here.

I recently bought a new MacBook (Mountain Lion 10.8.4) and I decided to install
GIMP, since I used it a lot on my former computer. I installed it from the
website, but when I open GIMP, I have a problem with the toolbox. When I try to
pick a tool, I get the tool that is 4 tools below. I don't know if I am being
clear : when I try to click on rectangular selection, for instance, it selects
compass instead ! It works great except for that, but it is really annoying,
and I cannot select the tools that are at the top op the toolbox with my mouse.
I tried deleting GIMP and reinstalling it, tried both versions that are
available for download, waited a few days and tried again but always the same
problem.

Has any of you ever had that problem ? How can I do to get my toolbox to work
normally ? Or should I try downloading an older version of GIMP ?

Thank you for reading !

Hey,

Here's some basics about animated GIF files and the GIMP.

Each frame of the animation is treated as a layer in the GIMP.

When a multi-layer image is exported as a GIF file, a dialog opens
asking if you want to flatten the image or save it as an
animation.  This is fairly self explanatory.

Note that the frame rate, i.e. duration for which each layer is
displayed in the finished animation, is one of the options in the
export dialog.

To radically reduce the file size of an animated GIF, use the
command Filters  Animation  Optimize (for GIF).  This will create
a new image, with everything that does NOT change from one frame to
the next, deleted from the next frame, from the bottom of the layer
stack (first frame) to the top (last frame).

For a lot more detail, see:

http://www.gimp.org/tutorials/Simple_Animations/
http://www.gimp.org/tutorials/Using_GAP/
http://www.gimp.org/tutorials/Advanced_Animations/

Hot tip:  The menu at Image  Mode will allow you to convert from
Indexed (GIF native format) to RGB (a much more flexible format).
When you have to edit the content of GIF frames, make sure the image
is set to RGB format; many filters and tools either don't work, or
work very badly, in Indexed mode.  The GIMP will convert an RGB
image to Indexed format when you export it as a GIF file.

Have fun!

Steve
