Re: [Gimp-user] Rays effect
It sounds like you're describing what is commonly known as "godbeams". John Woods has several very good Photoshop tutorials online - most can be easily adapted to The Gimp. Check out this link and look for the godbeams tutorial: http://graphicssoft.about.com/library/uc/ucjwoods3.htm - Timothy Jedlicka, [EMAIL PROTECTED], 1-630-713-4436, AOL-IM=tjbonzo Network Entomologist, Lucent Technologies, LWS NOVE Lab Operations ___ Gimp-user mailing list Gimp-user@lists.xcf.berkeley.edu http://lists.xcf.berkeley.edu/mailman/listinfo/gimp-user

Are you sure the circumstances were identical? Did you have anything else running on the box before that's not running now? I still suspect it was an issue of not enough memory/swap. -- Until later, Geoffrey ___ Gimp-user mailing list Gimp-user@lists.xcf.berkeley.edu http://lists.xcf.berkeley.edu/mailman/listinfo/gimp-user

The only thing I can find that creates such a problem is when gimp takes up too much memory and the OS kills gimp. I have 9.2 on a laptop with 768 mb memory. I created a very large jpeg and saved it fine on this box. I then removed 512 mb of memory, performed the same and gimp hit the cache. Once the cache approached being full, GIMP was killed by the OS.

Understood. I should have been more specific. I was referring to the OS running completely out of memory (ram and swap). In such a case, the OS begins to kill processes it thinks are the culprit. -- Until later, Geoffrey ___ Gimp-user mailing list Gimp-user@lists.xcf.berkeley.edu http://lists.xcf.berkeley.edu/mailman/listinfo/gimp-user

[Gimp-user] Sorry for extra posts
Sorry folks! The extra messages were most likely posted because of some glitch in my system when I was trying to post. The system failed twice when sending the message and finally sent it when I tried the third time. Now I see that my system did deliver the failed posts somehow. Sorry again, anyway.
