The menus have changed some. i think you should be glad that your first graphics app is the gimp. i am able to work photoshop when i get the chance. my photoshop friend had a difficult time working gimp. the extra steps are nice. carol ___ Gimp-user mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.xcf.berkeley.edu/mailman/listinfo/gimp-user

[Gimp-user] Locking a Layer
Hi All I am currently exploring GIMP (and graphics) and want to know if there is a way to lock lower layers in a layer stack to make accidentally moving a layer impossible. I have noticed link-icons with the eye-icons in the layers dialog but haven't yet reached gone through the right material. Previously, I was working on Linux/Gimp 1.2.x and the links weren't there. I don't know whether these link icons have anything to do with layer-locking. Thanks in advance Asif ___ Do you Yahoo!? Win 1 of 4,000 free domain names from Yahoo!

[Gimp-user] Fonts and The Gimp
I hope I'm not asking a FAQ here... I loaded some True Type fonts on my (linux) machine and I can get X11 to see them, but when I try and select them from the font dialog in Gimp I see the message "Font Not Available" What am I missing? -- Peter L.

[Gimp-user] Command line scripting to perform auto level and resize?
I would like to know if there is a way, method to do the following (in order): 1) colors > levels > auto level 2) resize to 800x600 I'm performing this task on a batch of photos prior to publishing to my website. Should I stick with gimp (2.0) or would Imagemagick "convert -level" provide an optional method? I'm also researching: http://www.ozemail.com.au/~hodsond/dbpSrc-26-Aug-2004.tgz ... I would tho, prefer to stick with command line processing as I'm working with many many photos! ...the less overhead, the better!! -- Roger http://www.eskimo.com/~roger/index.html ___ Gimp-user mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.xcf.berkeley.edu/mailman/listinfo/gimp-user

[Gimp-user] Count colors used in GIMP 2.0
Hi, Is there a function in GIMP 2.0 to count how many colors I used? I found a post about how to do in in GIMP 1.x but that functionality seems gone http://groups.google.com/groups?hl=en&lr=&ie=UTF-8&threadm=8i7gjg%24f1q%241%40nnrp1.deja.com&rnum=1&prev=/groups%3Fsourceid%3Dmozclient%26ie%3Dutf-8%26oe%3Dutf-8%26q%3Dgimp%2B%2522count%2Bcolors%2Bused%2522 Thanks Jaap ___ Gimp-user mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.xcf.berkeley.edu/mailman/listinfo/gimp-user

Well, there isn't really an equivalent to layer effects in GIMP, no matter how many steps you take. Unless you are willing to redo all your steps whenever the content affected by the effect changes.
