Whenever I'm forced to use a windows machine the first thing I do is install the Gimp, wget (its available for windows), and all of the ImageMagick tools. Makes your windows experience a much more plesant one. :-) Wget for windows is identical to the linux version except for the man page is just a readme.txt file.

Hi Jeff, John and other guys, Lot of thanks for your continue support. Now I have a collective information I am in a different situation. I have certain knowledge on Adobe PhotoShop, Corel PhotoPaint, KPT filtering, etc. For such a reason I don't expect going through the complete GIMP tutorial, page by page. I only need to download it as a file in smaller size for reference in case encountering difficulty in using GIMP. Anyway thanks again.

Hi Jon, Thanks for your response. At 11:18 PM 2002/6/7 -0500, Jon Winters wrote: I've never seen Gimp tutorials in PDF format. You might want to poke around freshmeat.net or sourceforge to find a PDF printing filter. You could load an HTML tutorial in your browser and print to PDF and then do what you please as long as you don't violate the copyright of the web author. Why the PDF format?? Gimp user's manuals has PDF version. You are right, most manuals in HTML Framed / Ordinary version. PDF version is much smaller in file size than HTML version. But this is not my point looking for a PDF version of the tutorial Tutorial Pointers Page in following website http://empyrean.lib.ndsu.nodak.edu/~nem/gimp/tuts/ They are web-pages. Then I have to save all of them page by page. It shall take a lengthy time to complete not including the time to print them to a .pdf file. Anyway I will to take a browse on Internet.

Hi Malcolm, Thanks for your response. Gimp user's manual, second edition, has PDF version of 9.49MB in file size. Grokking the Gimp in HTML, the tarball is 26.8 MB. I have both of them downloaded.

If you would prefer something pre-printed, try the print version of Grokking the Gimp. The original Gimp manual was available in PDF, if I recall correctly, but is was based on 1.0.x and is very dated now. Grokking the Gimp has really surpassed it as the useful reference (well, along with Sven's Pocket Reference, of course).

Hi Massimiliano, Thanks for your advice. The wget tool sounds similar to weblicator in Windows, downloading the complete homepage including all links for offline browsing. Before start please advise : 1) How to check whether the wget tool has been installed ? 2) Where shall the complete homepage be stored, in which folder/directory ? 3) Would it be possible to print the complete homepage download including links in one ' click ' similar to printing a file rather then to print page by page Thanks in advance.

If the wget tool is available on your machine, just issue: wget --mirror --no-parent http://empyrean.lib.ndsu.nodak.edu/~nem/gimp/tuts/ The tutorials directory will be mirrored onto your hard disk without further action and you will be able to browse it locally. If wget is not available, you can download it for Windows at ftp://sunsite.dk/projects/wget/windows or (better) as part of the cygwin distribution. It is free software like GIMP. Hope this helps.

If you get a line saying something like wget-1.23-i386 then it's installed. 2) Where shall the complete homepage be stored, in which folder/directory ? Wherever you preffer, a good advice is ~/downloads/name-of-homepage. Just make a directory in your homecatalogue and place it there. 3) Would it be possible to print the complete homepage download including links in one ' click ' similar to printing a file rather then to print page by page I dunno, some other person has to help you there sorry : //Christian Gundersson /Gimp amateur Professionals are predictable, it's the amateurs that are dangerous On most Linux systems locate wget will find it and man wget will tell you more than you ever need to know. Wget is just a non-interactive version of ftp, comparable to the old uucp method of unattended file transfer. I just used it to download all the Context manuals. It took two steps. First I downloaded a list of manuals and second I referenced that list and downloaded the manuals themselves.
