[Gimp-user] Rotated wmf-file

2006-11-08 Thread Magnus Hellström
Hello, I have this wmf file which is rotated by GIMP when opened. It 
seems normal with other wmf viewers. What could be the problem? The 
image or GIMP?

Thanks,

[Gimp-user] Photo emulsion silkscreen screen printing color seperation for inks

2006-11-08 Thread rob
I thought I had made this clear that the desired task was to use green 
muck photo emulsifier
that you smear on a silk screen and then lay a black and white image of 
anything on the muck and shine light
on it and the black in the image blocks light while the light getting 
into the green muck causes it to harden.
You then rinse off the remaining muck and you have a perfect transfer of 
the black and white image into

a T shirt silk screen.
Do that a few time with a few colors and you have pretty T shirts.
So I figured GIMP should be able to make the color seperation and the 
newsprint  shading within good to great results

without having to resort to adding in any missing GIMP features.
SO far I have gotten great advice how to make the color seperated  
individual images that can be printed onto

overhead transparancy film.

The question of how to color seperate into individual inks seems to be 
up in the air now and subject to

experimentation.
To use RGB or CYMK or channels.
I have not played with channels yet but did get CYMK individual images.


Thankyou to everyone who has contributed advice.
I am running KNOPPIX debian linux installed to hard disk which came with 
GIMP but does not have help installed so

even though my help is crippled I got ALL this help from the email list.

 This advice to not use DECOMPOSE and to use a plugin from

 Is the standard GIMP DECOMPOSE implementation so bad that it will not
produce images
  that are worthy of using for screen printing?



Screen Printing is too broad a subject.  If you're preparing screens
for 4-color process, I doubt the decompose mode nor the CMYK plugin
will be adequate.  I would let the person actually doing the printing
handle that.  OTOH, if you're going to be making a file for printing
spot colors, I'd skip CMYK/RGB altogether and use channels - 1 per ink
color.

There are tutorials on screen preparation out there - most focus on
photoshop, but you can do most of the same things in GIMP.

Chris

PS - maybe you can provide some more detals about what it is you're
trying to do?

[Gimp-user] Not able to edit path points in Gimp 2.2.11 Ubuntu 6.06 LTS

2006-11-08 Thread Carlos Ruiz Mora
Hello,I'm new to Linux and to Gimp. I'm using Gimp 2.2.11 that comes with Ubuntu 6.06 LTS. My problem is that I'm unable to use the handles to edit the bezier paths. I've read the book called "groking the gimp" and I have also read the gimp manual but nothing works. I don't know if this is due to a bug or if this is due to any mistake I am making. The latest procedure for doing this is:1. click on the point you want to edit to activate it  2. hold the ctrl key and click and drag outside the point to drag the handles out.  3. release the ctrl key and start editing your point.In the gimp manual I only read that at any given moment you should see the tool pointer changing to the edit mode. I don't see that neither.Please let me know if this is correct and what could I do to fix this. 
   Best regards.  Carlos Ruiz from Costa Rica  Take care you all. __Correo Yahoo!Espacio para todos tus mensajes, antivirus y antispam ¡gratis! Regístrate ya - http://correo.espanol.yahoo.com/ ___

In the toolbox you should see three radio buttons in the options 
for the path tool:

Edit Mode
* Design
* Edit
* Move

Be sure you have * Edit selected.

Seems to load fine for me. So either we have fixed this in the meantime
or your version of libwmf (that's the library that does the actual
loading of the WMF file) is buggy.

[Gimp-user] what is the most simple bit map file format

2006-11-08 Thread rob
I wanted to understand a graphics file format... any format that could 
be disected with a programming language...any programming language.
What is the absolute simplest bit map file format we can save out a 
black and white image in GIMP?
I think it might be  PPM  in my  version 2.2.6 but there may be somehing 
simpler for black and white images like

what I look to end up with in making screen color seperations.
Space is not an issue any more with 80 gig hard drives so compression is 
not needed any more.

So leaving out ALL compressed graphics formats whats left?
Interesting enoughASCII art is a SAVE AS option.
I wonder how fine a grain of detail we get  when saving as ASCII art.
I have to play with that one.

PPM is probably the simplest format to write your own reader for, but xbm
would be the easiest to dissect in C, as an xbm is secretly just a C source
file with an embedded char array you can simply include in your compile.

[Gimp-user] python problem with gimp-2.3.12 / win32

2006-11-08 Thread lode leroy

I'm having problems with the python support in gimp-2.3.12...

When I run the script Xtns-Python-Fu-Test-Sphere,
it works perfectly when I close the generated window in between tests.

When I leave the new window open, the python plugin locks up after clicking 
the OK button.


Is this a know problem, or am I doing something wrong?

I used to use gimp-2.3.9+ActivePython+gtk+-2.8.6 which worked fine
Currently I have the following packages installed:

gtk+-2.10.6-setup.zip
python-2.4.4.msi
pycairo-1.2.2-2.win32-py2.4.exe
pygtk-2.10.3-1.win32-py2.4.exe
gimp-2.3.12-i586-setup.zip

any thoughts?

Thanks.
