You don't need to import it. Just place it into your brushes folder and
use it. There's a good chance that this will just work.

[Gimp-user] importing a PS brush into Gimp 2.3

2007-07-17 Thread Olivier Lecarme
I thought that it was possible to import a Photoshop brush into Gimp
2.3. I have one, with the .abr suffix, but I can't open it with the Open
dialogue (unknown file type). How should I proceed?

By the way, one problem I have with brushes is that I'm interested in
large collections of real Gimp brushes, available in some places.
However, to place all of them at the same time in the brushes directory
makes choosing a brush among more than thousand of them very awkward.
Could it be possible to have sub-directories in the brushes directory,
and to access them when needed? Presently, my only solution is to make
this by hand, moving a symbolic link among the various directories I
built. Pretty complicated and unnatural.

Yes, I know I should try programming this myself. But it would need so
much time to learn all the stuff needed that I would not be able to do
this before several months, if not years.

If you want to help updating a translation, please contact your language

I did it (setting color-rgb to 1.0 1.0 1.0). Unfortunately, the only
result is that the brush outline is now white, and still persistent.

Thus my current solution is to have the Option "AccelMethod" "EXA" in my
xorg.conf file, and not use the Wacom mouse as a painting tool. This
does not prevent me to use Gimp 2.3, fortunately.

[Gimp-user] the Wacom mouse does not write in Gimp 2.3

2007-07-17 Thread Olivier Lecarme
Due to a bug in the ATI Xorg video driver, I have had to add recently to
my xorg.conf file the following line in Section "Device":

Option  "AccelMethod" "EXA"

This solved the problem (an Xor error occuring when the outline of a
brush on the image window is persistent), but introduced another one.
Since it occurs only for the Wacom mouse (and not the PS/2 mouse or the
Wacom stylus), and only in Gimp 2.3, I'm submitting it to both lists.

Briefly said, the tablet mouse works correctly, and no longer leaves the
outline image of the brush, but it does not paint visibly. However, the
image is changed, in the opinion of Gimp. All occurs as if it paints in
invisible color.

The tablet mouse works correctly for all other matters. The PS/2 mouse,
and the tablet stylus and eraser, paint as expected. Finally, with Gimp
2.2, the tablet mouse paints correctly.

What could explain such a behavior? What further information could be
useful?

Hi,

Irrespective of operating system, doesn't just using the 'PrintScreen'
key, then opening the screenshot in Gimp do the trick?
Followed by 'Crop' to taste.



Actually, no.
On Linux/X11/DWM, for example,  it does.. precisely nothing. Gnome includes
that keybinding you mention, so it will work if you are running Gnome, but
not KDE. Also-- does a Mac keyboard even HAVE a PrintScreen key? Google
saith: no, it doesn't :)

Hi, Akki!

In MacOS X, you may do the following:

1. Use the system-wide keyboard shortcuts for taking screenshots into  
the Clipboard:

Control + Shift + Command + 3> a shot from the entire screen
Control + Shift + Command + 4> a shot from a selection of the  
screen
Control + Shift + Command + 4 and then press SPACEBAR   > a shot  
from only one window

By the way, if you use these commands without pressing the CONTROL  
key, the images are stored in a file, not the clipboard.


2. In GIMP, use File > Acquire > From Clipboard


Have fun!

Quoting from the manual page:

 (xor-color (color-rgb 0.501961 1.00 0.501961))

   Sets  the  color that is used for XOR drawing. This setting only
   exists as a workaround for buggy display drivers.  If  lines  on
   the  canvas are not correctly undrawn, try to set this to white.
   The color is specified in the form (color-rgb  red  green  blue)
   with channel values as floats in the range of 0.0 to 1.0.
