[Gimp-user] image editing problem in 1.2.3 on Mac OS X 10.2.4
Hi all, I've got a bizarre problem that's a bit difficult to describe, but here goes: GIMP only seems to want to display it's splash screen image in any new document that I try to create, or in any existing image I try to open (gif/jpg/png/etc...). None of the tools seem to have their expected effect, instead they just modify the splash screen shown by repeating bits of it under the cursor. I've posted an example here: http://homepage.mac.com/jprince/gimpProblem.jpg All I did was created a new document, added a new layer that should be all white and selected a small rectangle and chose to fill it. Notice in the screen shot that not even to the fore/background color wells show the colors that they should be...they're parts of the splash screen as well. I'm just beginning with Gimp, so I don't know a lot about it, but I think that the fact that the Xtns->Module Browser window doesn't list any modules...so I'm thinking that Gimp just doesn't know how to render anything without them? However, Xtns->Plugin Details does list all the plugins I think one would expect with a vanilla install of the Gimp. Any thoughts?

Re: [Gimp-user] Metal effect
Hi Alf - Check out the chrome-text tutorial at the gug website: http://gug.sunsite.dk/tutorials/tomcat16/ The basic trick is to select the item(s) you want chromed, fill them with a gray to gray gradient, blur, bump map, and then twiddle the curves to get a chrome/reflection effect. See also GGJ's neat reflection tutorial at http://200.195.195.206/ggj/reflection3/reflection.html These should give you some good ideas about how to proceed. Just use your own selection instead of text.

[Gimp-user] Metal effect
After reading documentation I have failed to find out how to make a drawn image have a chrome like color. I have found how to make text display as chrome but not a non-text item. Can this be done ? BTW I am using Gimp 1.2.3 on my Linux Slackware 2.4.19 system. --- Regards, Alf Stocktonwww.stockton.co.za Genetics explains why you look like your father, and if you don't, why you should. ___ Gimp-user mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.xcf.berkeley.edu/mailman/listinfo/gimp-user
