Hello, Natalie;

I brought up the two web sites you mentioned using IE 6 and that browser 
reacts differntly than mozilla or ... whatever.(Why am I not 
surprised?!? :-)

As an example, the very first example in your _moz example has a blazing 
white line separating the first row and the second using IE, as opposed 
to Mozilla where all four cells of the table abut nicely. This was the 
sample with the
	
	  
	

However in the second (where  are all on one line, IE 
renders the table with NO white line between the rows.

Oh, well..

Hi Daniel,



Oh no, you missed the issue.  It was not about a whitespace, it was
about creating a NEWLINE.
There was a whole blank line BELOW the image.

Unless... a whitespace could somehow create that newline... maybe it
wrapped around?


I've created two html pages, one for Mozilla and one for Konqueror and

I don't recommened that. At least you would have to resize the layer to
image-size before you save or you might end up with an image of the
original size. Most file plug-in don't care about the image dimension
and will save an image with the full layer size.

The rect-select allows to set a fixed aspect ratio. You can use it to
select the part of the image you want to keep, then crop to that area.
In GIMP-1.3 there's a menu shortcut for cropping to selection, while in
version 1.2 you need to use the "From Selection" button offered by the
Crop tool.

Yes, we should add an aspect ratio setting to the Crop tool to ease this
rather common task...

[Gimp-user] Cropping question - Thanks to all

2003-08-20 Thread David McWilliams
Seems to be two main methods, so here's a summary;

Double click on the "rectangular selection" tool icon.
Click on the "fixed size/ratio" widgstuffie and choose your ratio.
Start a selection,and while holding the left button down, hold SHIFT on

the keyboard.
To move the selection around after it's done, holt ALT + click and 
drag.
To crop image to the selection, choose the crop tool, click on the 
image, and click on the "from selection"  button.

or

resize the canvas, without resizing the image, and move it around so
you only see what you want.

Thanks to all who wrote, very quick service,

Cheers,

David

Hi there!

I do not know if this list has got a FAQ or not...but it seens like this 
one is going to be #1 when such a FAQ is updated.

I can imagine:
1) How to make a fixed aspect ratio crop?

2) What is the GIMP?

...

Regardless, let's put hands on it:
Double click on the "rectangular selection" tool icon.
Click on the "fixed size/ratio" widgstuffie and choose your ratio.
Start a selection,and while holding the left button down, hold SHIFT on 
the keyboard.
To move the selection around after it's done, holt ALT + click and drag.
To crop image to the selection, choose the crop tool, click on the 
image, and click on the "from selection"  button.

I used a digital camera that can give me output @ 1600x1200, an aspect

commonly come in 6"x4", 1.33:1, or 7"x5", 1.67:1, 10"x8", 1.25:1.
Is there a way of accurately cropping a print to a desired aspect

could loose, but still be left with a image good for an OK 7"x5". If I
just resize it to an appropriate aspect ratio, I still get the junk.
What I'm looking for is some kind of 'selection box', or a selectable

For the moment, no, there is not a easy way, you get aspect ratio (via
rectangle select) or resizable (via crop tool), but not both. Check
bugzilla or mailing list archives, it has been covered at least a
couple of times.

Use the move tool to move the layer so the stuff off the canvas is the stuff

[Gimp-user] Gimp on Mac?

2003-08-20 Thread Daniel Carrera
Hi all,

I have a Mac-using friend who is having difficulties with Photoshop which I 
think Gimp might solve.

He is pretty new to web-design and is struggling with image maps, and I know 
that GIMP has a very cool image-map feature.  I was hoping I could get him 
hooked up with Gimp. :)

Now, this is a very non-technical guy.  I am an experienced Unix/Linux user, 
I have hardly ever touched a Mac.  Also, I don't have much time to help him 
in-person because we live some distance appart.  Most of what I can offer 
him is email help.

Now my questions:

* How hard is it to install Gimp on Mac?

* Is there a free (as in beer) version?  If my choices are to compile from 
source, or pay for the version at macgimp.org, I'll pay.  But is there 
another option?

I want an honest opinion on MacGimp.  Is it usable?  By that I mean 
stable/easy-to-install/behaves-nicely/etc.

I just don't want to give him something that's just going to make his life 
more difficult.

Thank you for your help.

Yupp. whitespace can be a new line, a space, or something else to
seperate, as the browser sees fit.
