Re: [Gimp-developer] Scissors tool
I introduce about 50 beginning students each year to the GIMP, and in my experience, this tool seems to be one of the best piquant tools for the students to use. If anyting, I'd make it easier to undo the last point added and make it easier to close the curve when done, but please don't remove the tool from its default place in the toolbox. _-T Juno Gift Certificates Give the gift of Internet access this holiday season. http://www.juno.com/give ___ Gimp-developer mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.xcf.berkeley.edu/mailman/listinfo/gimp-developer
Re: [Gimp-developer] Judging panel for splashes
Hi, Greg Rundlett [EMAIL PROTECTED] writes: I agree that it is trivial to add an opaque region to the bottom of an otherwise excellent image. Sure. But simply adding some opaque region will ruin any otherwise excellent image. The point here is that the splash image should have been designed with the text at the bottom in mind. There are some submissions that have solved this very nicely. A lot better than just using the opaque area from the template.

It's not very useful to mask an object in a low contrast environment but it works perfectly well for instance to mask an digitally photographed object against a somewhat distant background to only modify the background some more (reduce color intensity, blur, etc.) to strengthen the effect of the photo.

[Gimp-developer] contests, judges, votes and gimp-gap
hi, the splash contest was so cool! i started to make movies out of the images using gap and some scripts that yosh wrote. these movies can be found at: http://carol.gimp.org/gimp/2.2/contest/index.html#movies day one is the largest and includes the splashes that were entered on the wiki. another word about these movies, something is happeneing during the encoding that is mangling the first few images in each movie. so please do not consider these images the final product. they might however come in handy to use to look at the splash entries before you go to: http://www.mukund.org/temp/gimp/judge/ to vote for your 10 favorite splash images. i would like to use this peoples choice information to make a movie of the winners. i think it would be a great movie to have 10 peoples choice winners, 10 from the panel and 10 picks from the people who have been picking them all along -- Sven, mitch and the usual suspects on #gimp. there sure are some beautiful and interesting images that were entered into that contest. thanks everyone! carol ___ Gimp-developer mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.xcf.berkeley.edu/mailman/listinfo/gimp-developer

Hi, Tomas Mraz wrote: If anyting, I'd make it easier to undo the last point added and make it easier to close the curve when done +1 And that annoying bug where you can't have anchor points within 8 pixels of the left or top edges (and possible the other edge too). I am sure I've seen it in CVS, but can't find it right now. Am I imagining things? A hint for closing the curve - you can zoom in and out with + and - while editing a curve, which is handy for getting those clicks right if there are a number of points (or if you miss the first time). Also very handy for adding points or dragging anchors when the curve is closed.

Re: [Gimp-developer] Multiple Layers and curves?

Now opening curves for the second layer, the first tool disappears. So, How can I view/adjust curves for two layers simultaneously? You cannot. That is simply it. If you have a good motive to need this, you better open upa feature request on bugzilla.gnome.org and describe your uses. Meanwhile, the workaround for this is running 2 simultaneous GIMPs, and editing one of your layers as a separate image on other instance of the GIMP.

Bueno Calligaris Subject: Re: [Gimp-developer] Scissors tool [...] I looked at the code not too long ago, and my impression was that it reads like it was written by somebody who started with a complex and incomprehensible algorithm and then added kludges onto it in an attempt to get it to work. The best approach might be to clear it out and start fresh. It shouldn't be horribly difficult, since the problem of connecting two points with a curve that tries to hug edges is not really all that hard. (Finding a solution quickly when the points are far apart might be challenging, though.) I think I was probably the last person to do any major work on the scissors tool, and that was in 1999 to port it to the (then new) tile-based world. The code when I took it on was a software Vietnam; a complete mess. I had to read the SIGGRAPH paper it was attempting to implement before I could fix it, and believe me it left my hands much cleaner than I got it! There are two areas where it could do with improvement: - it doesn't handle tile-boundaries (it treats them as edges) - the point editing interface sucks; I merely made the existing one work but it might be interesting to see if it could use the same code from the Path tool (that was always the plan) Austin ___ Gimp-developer mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.xcf.berkeley.edu/mailman/listinfo/gimp-developer
