[Gimp-user] GimpShop different to Gimp?

2017-05-08 Thread Steve Lett
After 3 attempts at downloading GimpShop I succeeded to install it. But I
was disappointed. My expectations were to see a PhotoShop-like program but
it looks just like the ordinary Gimp program.

Can anyone tell me what is supposed to be different about GimpShop?

Thanks, Steve

[Gimp-user] Bg layer will not change.

2015-05-18 Thread Steve Lett
Someone please help!

I am following The Book of Gimp on page 141. I got to the bit that says
CAROL #1 in paragraph 2 and Gimp will not let me change the name of the
bg layer.

Thank you, Leonardo Paradox

Re: [Gimp-user] Book of GIMP

2015-05-14 Thread Steve Lett
I would like to offer my apologies to Oliver. I was a little hasty in my
comments on how to draw lines. It is in the index under Drawing, with
paths. But that did not appear immediately obvious because I was looking
for lines. It appears I WAS mistaken!

And a little explanation about my other comment, That's a hell of a
price... I actually paid $73.90 australian money and for me that is a big
outlay. I am on a pension with a disability.

But on a positive note. I really am pleased with the book and I appreciate
very much the work that went into its making! Even if I have minor things I
would have written differently.

  We can discuss for some time about what should be present in the basics.
  Since GIMP is the GNU Image Processing Program, image processing is
  probably more basic than image drawing.

 Nah...that actually would be GIPP- a fearsome darkside arch-rival
 coordinated
 by Wilbur, the Dark Coyote.
 Here we deal with the GNU Image MANIPULATION Software, and Wilber the GIMP
 is the one featured in our splashes.


 
  Anyway, probably you did not search
  for a long time, since on page 87, Figure 3.125 is named Drawing a
  straight line. A subsection of the same title begins on page 85.

[Gimp-user] Book of GIMP

2015-05-13 Thread Steve Lett
Hi everyone!

I'm a brand new user of Gimp and I am not off to a good start.

I purchased the Book of GIMP by Olivier Lecarme recently. When I tried to
find how to draw lines I could not find it anywhere in the book. You would
think that in a book about how to make graphics it would be reasonable to
expect a clear and detailed description of how to draw lines of various
types? Yes?

In chapter 3 it starts out telling you how to fill in the lines with colour
etc. But I think they should have started at the beginning with drawing the
lines. What do you think? Thats a hell of a price to pay for a book and not
find the basics in it, hey?

Am I mistaken?

Much appreciated in advance, Leonardo Paradox
