I am using 2.8 and can only find one colour picker, the one that takes colours from the image. There are two colour pickers available in 2.8. (At least true for 2.8.22 as in the Linux Mint repository) Both are available from the Toolbox. The first is accessible from the "Eye Dropper" button, which can only select from the image. The second is accessible from the overlapping Foreground/Background colour tool. When you click on either of the foreground/background rectangles a colour picker dialogue opens and that includes an eye dropper that will select a colour to use for that rectangle anywhere on the screen.

Re: [Gimp-user] resolution
Hi Hija, What Rick is trying to explain is that there is no such thing as "real resolution". The number of dots/pixels per inch you see depends on how big you display each pixel or, looking it the other way, how many dots you squeeze/stretch into a given space. The first dialogue that Rick points you to will tell you how big an image will display/print at the given resolution. Given the number of pixels in the image, the second dialogue allows you to adjust either the size of the finished image so you can see what the resolution will be at that size, or the resolution to show you how big that would make the image. If you wish to to have your default resolution be 300ppi rather than 72ppi, then go to EDIT > PREFERENCES > DEFAULT IMAGE and set the X-resolution and y resolution as you wish. The default of 72ppi is a somewhat historic figure based roughly on the monitors available in the early days of the PC, but still remains a "standard" for many software products.

What print resolution you have set? The default is, I believe, around 72 pixels/inch, which makes for pretty fuzzy printing. 300 might be more appropriate for a reasonably sharp image. The dialogue will tell you what size your image will print at. What have you then scaled to, to achieve an appropriate size for printing at the size you want? How did you go about printing? If you did something like export the resulting image to a JPG file and print that, any text will have become as fuzzy as the rest of image if it had inadequate resolution.

I agree we need to see the full file. I've never used GIMP for animation, so I could be very wrong, but to me this looks like poor selection technique during the process of cutting and copying the figures as they climb the escalator - and not a problem with saving the animation process as such.

If you are saying that you scan to a PDF then that is entirely appropriate if your intention is to produce a small file that a site's visitors will download and print. However, in case newcomers are reading, it should be pointed out that it is pretty pointless for an image to be displayed on a web page, where dpi is completely irrelevant. For screen display all that matters are pixels. For that purpose you scale to the desired width and height in pixels. Adjusting X or Y resolution (i.e. dpi) is meaningless.

The "Select by color" or "Fuzzy select" tool should do the job of selecting the white area, producing a set of "marching ants" around the selected colour. However, before you do that you need to "Add Alpha Channel" to the layer. It is that channel that allows an area to become transparent when you delete a selection. Then hit the DELETE key and the selected area will become transparent showing a grey checkerboard to indicate transparancy. > I wanted to do the same for some black stray lines, but it didn't > work at all.

When doing that task the only change with 2.8 is that I must select "Export", instead of "Save As" from the File menu. No sweat! Almost all of the other 20% of my time with the GIMP is making up collages of images or using the tools from producing fancy text or buttons or similar small decorative graphics for web sites. In the past, I have sometimes regretted that I have not saved an .xcf, when I come to make changes to those images. The new approach the GIMP forces on me will encourage better practice. In short, it makes perfect sense to me that a high end bitmap editor should, by default, save in its native format and export to other formats. Just about every other program I know uses this pattern. Yes, it may mean I need to change my practices slightly, but it's hardly a chore and the change the GIMP team has decided to make, makes perfect sense to me. Keep up the good work!

Well, this is a mail list to support users of The GIMP, so posting finished work is not what is expected, rather a description of how the finished work was achieved, so others can learn from it. It is method that will find people here willing to critique, not the final image. So post links to the component images and the description of the processes used, in as much detail as possible, and ideally, the final .xcf file before you exported the .png Greg Chapman http://www.gregtutor.plus.com Helping new users of KompoZer and The GIMP ___ gimp-user-list mailing list gimp-user-list@gnome.org http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gimp-user-list
Re: [Gimp-user] how to get off the list

Note, the OP talks of "to send forum thread updates everytime there's a new post". This suggests that he is not subscribed to the mail list but is a user of the dreaded "GIMP User" forum. That may be the one hosted here: http://old.nabble.com/GIMP-f87.html She may be able to unusbscribe from the topic in question there. I know that you can subscribe to individual topics on the current Nabble software, but I know nothing of the "Old Nabble" which appears to host the "GIMP User" archive.
