[Gimp-user] How do I make a 3D book and CD image from book cover
Try looking at FiltersMapMap object, you can put different images on the faces of a cube and manipulate the size of the cube (other shapes available as well. Sorry didn't really understand that, although it did put quite an attractive white glow around the top left hand corner of my picture that I am keen to play with on an effects level, but I didn't understand how to make a CD or 3D ebook out of image using that technique? -- GimpDummy (via gimpusers.com) ___ Gimp-user mailing list Gimp-user@lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU https://lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU/mailman/listinfo/gimp-user
[Gimp-user] how to apply a stepping curve
When I create a curve to apply to an image, GIMP gives me only two choices: a freehand curve and a smooth curve. I need to apply a stepping curve (piecewise flat) and I am out of luck because there is no such option. Please help.

Re: [Gimp-user] how to apply a stepping curve
2011/3/16 Krzysztof Żelechowski giecr...@stegny.2a.pl: When I create a curve to apply to an image, GIMP gives me only two choices: a freehand curve and a smooth curve. I need to apply a stepping curve (piecewise flat) and I am out of luck because there is no such option. Please help. There's a function in the PDB called gimp-curves-explicit: Modifies the intensity mapping for one channel in the specified drawable. The drawable must be either grayscale or RGB, and the channel can be either an intensity component, or the value. The 'curve' parameter is an array of bytes which explicitly defines how each pixel value in the drawable will be modified. Use the 'gimp-curves-spline' function to modify intensity levels with Catmull Rom splines. So I guess it would theoretically be possible to write a script or plug-in for this.

[Gimp-user] Help needed looking for a plug-in
Hi! Sometime last year, I used a Gimp 2.6 plugin which took an image and put vertical photo sprockets on the left and right sides of the image, with the text 1A printed on it. This plugin was similar to the filmstrip plugin except the filmstrip plugin puts the photo sprockets on the top and bottom of the image, not on the left and right sides. I've been looking for this plugin but I don't see it in my Gimp 2.6 installation anymore. Any ideas on which plugin I'm trying to describe? Again, it functions similar to the filmstrip plugin but it applies to only ONE image and puts the sprockets (the holes in the black edges of the photo, like a full color negative) on the left and right sides of the image. Thanks! Peace... Tom ___ Gimp-user mailing list Gimp-user@lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU https://lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU/mailman/listinfo/gimp-user

Re: [Gimp-user] Downloading and Loading Gimp
I've managed to build gimp from source on a mac 10.6.6. The instructions at http://clockwork.fr/how-to-compile-gimp-271-on-snow-leopard/ were mostly correct for me. I have to reinstall macport and install git. (FYI, the git package does not create the git script in the usual path, so you have to add a sym link after the install.) I also have to install gettext form source because macport refused to upgrade it to the version needed. The autogen line for the gegl line was not quite right. I think it should be ./autogen.sh --prefix=/opt/gimp-2.7 --disable-gtk-doc --disable-docs or something like that. I think I have to add that to gimp's autogen as well. After gimp finished building, it is a binart in /opt/gimp-2.7/bin. You have to start up xdarwin then run gimp using the terminal command gimp-2.7 --display=:0.0. Hope this helps others.

You have to recompile all the plug-ins that you want to use with the new version of gimp. You can't just copy them. I do not use Gutenprint, but usually I download the sources of the plug-ins and compile and install them with gimptool --installplug-in.c Note that this may overwrite files in your home gimp plug-ins or the system wide gimp plug-ins directory, so check this first. Be sure to use the gimptool program that came with the version of GIMP that you want the plug-in to work with. Greetings, Petar Thanks for answering. Gutenprint is a case apart.It's not like the regular python plugins. In Gentoo you can indicate to the package managing system that you want it also as a plugin for Gimp. All packages in Gentoo are compiled on your box. I have in the past done this with 2.6 several times worked ok. Gerard. O.K. then, but if you emerge it without any additional options it will be compiled against the GIMP version that resides in /usr, right? So you may try recompiling it by hand and installing it in your home directory to see if it will work.

I do not use Gutenprint, but usually I download the sources of the plug-ins and compile and install them with gimptool --install plug-in.c Note that this may overwrite files in your home gimp plug-ins or the system wide gimp plug-ins directory, so check this first. Be sure to use the gimptool program that came with the version of GIMP that you want the plug-in to work with. Greetings, Petar Thanks for answering. Gutenprint is a case apart.It's not like the regular python plugins. In Gentoo you can indicate to the package managing system that you want it also as a plugin for Gimp. All packages in Gentoo are compiled on your box. I have in the past done this with 2.6 several times worked ok.

[Gimp-user] Gimp 2.7.2 Windows 7 64-bit
I would def be interested in how you did it.Is this a cross compile? Did you use CYGWIN or Msys and MinGW? Also yeah i would most def be interested in a windows 32 version if you don't mind. Thanks regards, Rod I am using mingw and gcc 4.4.5 x86_64-w64-mingw32. I will be setting up a 32 bit environment soon and hopefully have a 32-bit compile soon.

No luck there... - I then went to the *tools menu* and scanned through the options listed there. Nothing. - Then I went to the *Preferences dialog box* from the Edit menu.

The second result was the one I chose, a link to chapter 11 of the GIMP manual, *Pimp my GIMP*.

Let's not argue semantics here - you know what I mean :) There should be a degree of the obvious when interacting with an interface. In other words, it should, as far as possible, be obvious as what to click on, in order to facilitate some action. This is far from the case here.

Re: [Gimp-user] Speeding up GIMP
I've tested working with outlines both on and off, and there really isn't much of a difference (other than not knowing my brush size), and I'm using an i7 quad core. GIMP is great and I'm getting used to it (after moving from Windows to Ubuntu and adopting GIMP instead of Photoshop), and it has some functions that Photoshop should get, but - sadly - Photoshop wins in the category of real-time rendering speeds. With 600MB of RAM allocated to Photoshop, I was able to have faster real-time rendering than with GIMP (with 3GB of RAM allocated to it). Simple comparison: An A4 page, 300DPI, open in both applications. Grab a paint brush and and increase its size considerably. Paint across the canvas and watch how much GIMP lags; the rendering of the strokes trails the brush, while in Photoshop, it's almost immediate. This means that system resources play a role, but so does the actual rendering engine inside GIMP. For web design, you don't notice this, but for DTP, you certainly do. Apparently, though, this won't change for another few releases. :( On 02/03/2011 15:11, Carol Spears wrote: On Wed, Mar 02, 2011 at 02:51:08PM +0200, M@thew Green wrote: I didn't even know you could turn off brush outlines.

Re: [Gimp-user] Speeding up GIMP
I run Photoshop on Windows (my old PC) and GIMP on Ubuntu (my new PC). Photoshop is slower, in general, but its real-time rendering (on an old P4 with minimal RAM) is still faster than GIMP's real-time rendering on an i7 quad core when doing identical painting on an A4 canvas at 300DPI. This speed problem is, for me, the single most frustrating aspect about GIMP. (I can live with its inferior text tools, but real-time rendering should be beefed up.)

I have several layers with 1 photo, border effects, and type. but, cannot drag any additional jpg photos into project. Is there something that I am missing here? Yes. If it's what I'm thinking of, it happens to all of us when learning GIMP. The image is of a certain size. If you created the image by dragging a picture onto GIMP, then it's the size of that picture. If you drag something to a place outside of that image size it won't show up. (Same thing happens with any layer, if you drag something outside the layer boundary if won't be visible.) The fix is to make the image big enough for all the things you want to show. You can do that from the image menu under canvas size. Then you'll be able to drag the layer created when you dragged the second pic into the new area. (I'm assuming it did work when you dragged the picture, but the new image is behind the old image and you can't see it.) If it's behind the first one, you'll not see it, but if you select its layer, click on the move tool and click and drag on the image you'll drag it out from under. Alternatively, you can raise it's layer in the layer dialog so you can see what you're doing. You do that by clicking on the layer label (the label will be the same as the name of the image you dragged onto GIMP), and then clicking the up arrow at the bottom of the layer dialog. If I'm wrong, and that isn't the problem you were having, perhaps more explanation would help? Patrick p.s. If you subscribe to the list instead of using the forum it will be happier for you.

Selecting different units for the text size makes no difference in the maximum text size. I don't have any trouble making text as large as I might want. However, if I make it too large to fit in the image frame, it gets truncated. When you use the text tool, it produces a small window in which you enter the text, and it is then that you vary the font and size. Also, if I want to modify the size later, all I have to do is make sure I choose the layer containing the text. Look at the layers window. If you are making multiple attempts to create text, you may end up making more than one text layer, and in that case, you should make sure you've selected the one you want to change. Any ideas?

But this should only affect memory usage and start-up time. So as long as you have enough RAM, more brushes shouldn't slow GIMP down (except for the increased start-up time). Is there any caching that would allow to have them available but not loaded full-res until we need them ? Lazy-loading of brushes and other resource files has been proposed several times, but it was never fully implemented. There's a bug-report about it and we are of course appreciating patches to implement this. Sven Something else about slow brushes: I noticed delayed reacting of brushes, when they are bigger size.

I'm a long time GIMP user but I'm new to Mac. My Wacom works perfect with the GIMP. I figured out to use click-through so I would have to double click all the time on windows. What I can't figure out is why my mouse can't use any tools. I pick a tool, select for example - it does nothing on the canvas. Paint tool, nothing. Any tool I try does nothing when using my mouse. I switch to my Wacom and all the tools work perfectly.

Re: [Gimp-user] Questions about EXIF data (Windows version)
Von: perkin-warbeck for...@gimpusers.com I'm sending tiff files to GIMP (version 2.6.7 for Windows) from a raw converter. The tiff files contain a lot of EXIF data such as Fnumber, FocalLength, ExposureTime, ISO. and so-on. When I save as jpeg from GIMP, most of the EXIF data is discarded. In the Save as JPEG dialog, the checkbox Save EXIF data (under Advaned Options is unchecked. It is grayed out so I cannot check it. The Exif data is discarded when opening the TIFF files. So far, only the JPEG plug-in reads and saves Exif data from and to image files. Here are my questions: (1) Is the Windows version of GIMP packaged with libexif? Yes. (2) If not, is there a workaround? A workaround is to use a different tool - e.g. exiftool - to extract the Exif data from the original files and add it back to the resulting files. A fix would be to add Exif support to more file format plug-ins (e.g. TIFF, PNG and possibly others). Regards, Michael -- Schon gehört?
