Re: [Gimp-user] rounded corners on jpg image.
Quoting "John R. Culleton" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>: have a jpg image that is in rectangular form. I would like to round the corners off symmetrically to soften the shape a bit. Which is the quickest way to to this? The quickest way is to: * Select all * Perform a "Rounded rectangle" (I think you will find this on the "Select" menu, but on previous GIMP versions it may be under "Script-fu->Selection") * Invert the selection * Fill with a background color (JPEGs do not support transparent areas, therefore you have to choose a specific color for the corners) If you would prefer to have the corners match the background of whereever the image is to appear (on a webpage, for example), you will have to use the PNG format (GIFs will work, too; but will have "ugly" edges). Change the last step above to: * Perform a "Layer->Transparency->Add alpha channel" and then an "Edit->Clear" If you *have* to use JPEG format, I would recommend that you place a border around your image: * Select all * Perform a "Rounded rectangle" (I think you will find this on the "Select" menu, but on previous GIMP versions it may be under "Script-fu->Selection") * Create a new transparent layer. Increase this layer's boundary size by the amount of border you think will look good. Use the "Center" option when resizing the layer * Perform an "Image->Fit canvas to layers" * Invert the selection * Fill with a border color ___ Gimp-user mailing list Gimp-user@lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU https://lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU/mailman/listinfo/gimp-user

[Gimp-user] script-fu
Hello all, i am trying to do some scripting with gimp's scheme interpreter. Can anyone tell me how to sort a list? From the internet I found (set! mylist '(10 3 12)) (sort mylist <) should give (3 10 12), but I get a "batch command: experienced an execution error." by the way: Is there a better way to debug such a script? The error message is rather uninformative... thanks in advance, kind regards Jan -- Jan Wuerthner Oddernskamp 15 22529 Hamburg [EMAIL PROTECTED] Der GMX SmartSurfer hilft bis zu 70% Ihrer Onlinekosten zu sparen!
