Re: [Gimp-user] Script-fu: copy an image into a different image
Hi Joel, many thanks for your help. It works. It was the mistake to copy from the selection. Am Freitag, 16.

It returns an error. So I put: (if (> (car (gimp-image-get-layers pic-1)) 1) (set! pic-layer (car (gimp-image-merge-visible-layers pic-1 1))) (set! pic-layer (car (gimp-image-get-active-layer pic-1 > 2.

RE: [Gimp-user] text bleeding problem
It would help to provide a link to the actual picture. Maybe it has to do with the format the image was saved in. Depending on what the colors are, jpeg compression can cause anomalies that could be described as bleeding of the image. But these are usually visible on a monitor too. Other compression algorithms could do the same. You could try...saving in a non-compressing format (but start with the original, once compressed it can't be undone) and try printing again.

[Gimp-user] winGIMP 1.2.3, printscreen and paste
Hi. In windows version of GIMP (1.2.3 I believe) if you press Printscreen and then try to paste it into image, result is in greyscale. Does anybody know what could cause problem ? And how to fix/workaround it ? Note: I can't tell more details because I don't have windows version of gimp here. I heard about this problem from a friend.
