Re: [Gimp-user] Save pcx file as 2-bit (black and white)

I've installed The GIMP, along with Ghostscript and I can create the pcx file fine. However, I'd like to reduce file size by reducing the colour depth to 2, i.e. black and white. I can do this in MS Photo Editor by Choosing File|Properties and selecting Image Type Monochrome. This reduces the file size from 215KB to 99KB. How can I do the same thing from The GIMP? I'm sure it must be possible, but I'm just not looking in the right place! No, it isn't currently possible.

[Gimp-user] Gimp compilation errors
I am trying to compile Gimp 2.2.8 on RHEL AS 3.0.

[Gimp-user] Resolution
Hi, I'm learning how to use the Ginp and I have a small problem. The default resolution seems to be 7 4dpi when I save my work. I need to send my files to a printing company and they require 300 dpi. Can anyone tell me how to change the resolution. Many thanks in advance.

[Gimp-user] The GIMP 2.2.8 for OS/2
Some of you might still remember - or maybe even use - the operating system of the future that was supposed to free the world from such things as DOS or Microsoft Windows 3.x. Despite being a stable and technologically advanced platform, it didn't succeed - partly because of its equally advanced hardware requirements (8 megs of RAM was much in those days), partly because one of its creators turned against it. Today, it's user base is mainly loclizced in certain parts of the finance and touristic commerces, and only a few boxes remained with individuals. And with IBM having announced End of support for 2006, the number of OS/2 systems will most likely go down even further. In this tragical situation, it is a good thing that some individuals keep up the spirit of Free Software and provide current applications for a platform that is now considered exotic at best. For a long time, GIMP 1.2.2 was the latest version of GIMP available for OS/2. Now, in once amazing quantum leap, this has changed - the current stable version of GIMP for OS/2 is 2.2.8 - yes, like the current stable version on the other platforms. Prebuilt binaries are available from http://hobbes.nmsu.edu/cgi-bin/h-search?key=gimppushbutton=Search There are also the libs that are required (GTK+, Glib etc...) and a XFree86 package. Kudos to Frank Geissler and Ralph Hannes, for preparing the builds and posting to a german OS/2 newsgroup respecively, where the article caught my eye.

If you take a look at the headers, it's the same message, with you in the To: field, and the list being put in the CC: list. Chances are, your client [like my client - GMail's web interface] is smart enough to know when a message is a duplicate, and display it only once. After all, each e-mail has a seperate ID or whatever... among other things... which could implement this functionality. -- ~Mike - Just my two cents - No man is an island, and no man is unable. ___ Gimp-user mailing list Gimp-user@lists.xcf.berkeley.edu http://lists.xcf.berkeley.edu/mailman/listinfo/gimp-user
