Re: Saving as EPS

[Chetan Dhavse]

I have a problem with rotating the text

when I rotate the text to 45 deg / 3.14/4 rad
it looses it sharpness and the characters breaks
it is a big eye sore
 
I am using gimp_floating_selection_attach
 
gimp_floating_selection_anchor does not help either
I have tried antialising feathering but did not help either

What am I missing?

I use gimp 1.1.4 and perl for scripting

Thanks in advance

Saving as EPS

[Chetan Dhavse]

 I have a problem with saving image in eps format
 
 
 The image saved is of 18 MB  ? the same if I save it as gif it comes
 to about 8 Kb 
 
 I have not worked with eps formats but I am sure 18 MB is not normal even
 for eps
 
 My second problem is in color seperation all the other colors get
 seperated in to their respective cmyk format except for black which shows
 in all the four modes as otherwise it should only appear in the K(cmyK)
 mode

 I used Perl for scripting and gimp 1.1.4
 
 
 Thanx in advance

GIF compresses, but I dunno about EPS, I think not, or not as good as
other formats.

It is. You are moving a raster format to a vector format. The result
is one of the least efficient you will see in life. Maybe is something
about the DPI. What DPI are you using?

IIRC there is no gray reduction or whatever the name in English. The
right should be to pass all black to K channel or ask about how much,
but there is not. Supposing EPS filter saves to CMYK, a thing I dunno.

Old Gimp, 1.1.25 is the latest.

Excuse me, but I've been wondering what the difference between Flatten Image
and Merge All Visible Layers is?  Flatten Image = Merge + Threshold Alpha?

saving in EPS

[Michael P. Soulier]

Hey there. 

I'm trying to use the Gimp for creating EPS diagrams to be included in
a LaTeX document. Unfortunately, every time I try to save as PostScript with
the EPS option, I get the error:

Postscript save cannot handle images with alpha channels

How do I fix this problem so I can save? I don't see anything under
image-alpha for removing alpha channels, not that I'm too sure what they are
or why there in by default. 

Thanks,

Mike
