If you have not already done it, visit the GimpTalk site, whose first pages
with tutorials are sure not to be out of date.

You can find the aforesaid resource at:

"Is there an online GIMP tutorial?

I've seen some of the versions but they're out of date and refer to GIMP
parts and menus that aren't in the version I have."

What are you looking for? Basics? Skin retouching? Quick editing of 
holiday pictures? Text, video, picture, book, blog etc. based tutorials?

Some more information could be useful.

For a general introduction from the basics up to more advanced things I 
can recommend www.meetthegimp.org.
You will find lots of videos.

There are several hundreds of tutorials on GIMP. Would you mind

It was probably not mentioned, but you should just create another layer for
the gradient background.

Hi all,

For those of you who have installed the imagemagick package,
try:

import -window root root.`date +%Y%m%d%H%M%S`.png

for the whole screen. Bind it to a key with your favourite
window manager or the xbindkeys utility.

Kind regards,
  Stephan.

In Windows, at least, it copies a copy of the current screen to the
clipboard.   Alt-printscreen just the current window.  I believe the
behaviour is supposed to be similar in some desktop manager on Linux.

Not per se, but most of the menus are dockable -- meaning you can turn
them into Windows.  On Images, at least, the menus at the top are also
accessable by right clicking -- then you can click the top line "---"
and it will become a floating "dock" or "window".  Drag this near the
menu where it's supposed to be, and explain to viewers that it's not
really a menu, but it's the contents of a menu.  Or something like
that.

What happened to taking screenshots by pushing the "PrintScreen"
button on the keyboard?

A minor improvement to the script (I call it 'xwd_screen_grab' on my
computer).  Now, just map your keyboard shortcuts as follows:

For grabbing a single window
xwd_screen_grab

Grab the whole screen
xwd_screen_grab -root

Here's the script:
#!/bin/bash

arg=''

if [ "$1" = "-root" ]; then
  arg='-root'
fi

with a five second delay, i have tried allsorts in the past, shorter

but someone else has sent me a mail with a differnt method, i shall try

The screenshot window lets you set a delay in seconds.  You can
use that time to go back to the window you're shooting and pop up
whatever menus you need.

If the menu goes outside of the window it's in, you'll need to use
"full screen" or "region of your desktop" instead of "window" in
the screenshot dialog, otherwise you'll only get the part of the
menu that overlaps the window borders.

When you click ok in the dialog, you choose the window or region
immediately, then the delay starts, giving you time to place the
cursor or pop up any menus you need.

For grabbing the whole screen:

Still, a pdf file would have been nice. Downloading the images separately,
downloading and installing Open Office, and then combining the two may turn

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

Why the PDF format??

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.

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.

Asuming you use rpm then, "rpm -qa | grep wget" in a terminal should do
the trick. If you get a line saying something like "wget-1.23-i386" then

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.

Re: [Gimp-user] Tutorial Pointers Page in PDF format (former : Re. Good tutorial in PDF format)

2002-06-08 Thread Stephen Liu

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.

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 me 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.

Thanks

Stephen Liu

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.

Thanks

Stephen

I think you're basically out of luck. A lot of tutorials exist (as you
already see) in HTML format. 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).
