Have you had a > look at the Undo dialog? When I click on "Undo" in the Undo dialog, the dialog moves up to the previous instance - but the Ink drawing doesn't actually vanish. I've tested this some more, and it seems that this effect isn't actually limited to the Ink tool - the other drawing tools have the same effect. But I've uncovered another hint: When I use the "fuzzy stroke" or "hard edged pixels" to paint swift strokes, then I end up with a single brush image some time after the main stroke has ended: http://juergen.the-huberts.net/img/Test.jpg That last dot _can_ be reversed with "Undo", but the main stroke can't. I was wondering if this effect was only limited to GIMP, so I called up Microsoft Paint (the first time I've ever done that...) - and it worked just fine there. I suspect this bug is also the reason why I can't use the "color gradient" tool - it shows the starting point and the end point as well as a line between the two, but the gradient isn't actually painted.

I don't know what kind of layout you must produce in order to print directly to the cd/dvd, so that might be an issue here as well. What I do is create art work with Gimp then import it into glabels for printing on cd/dvd labels. Again, it'll depend on what kind of layout the printer expects when printing directly to the cd/dvd. -- Until later, Geoffrey Those who would give up essential Liberty, to purchase a little temporary Safety, deserve neither Liberty nor Safety. - Benjamin Franklin ___ Gimp-user mailing list Gimp-user@lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU https://lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU/mailman/listinfo/gimp-user

As far as I > know no one has tried this yet and it would be very tedious, to say the > least. I have personally tried to create such a brush, but the results are inconclusive. I use an Intuos 3 tablet and have created (just for test) a 3 x 3 matrix containing 9 images and 2 ranks, first for x-tilt and second for y-tilt. As far as I understood, this would have created one image for: negative X tilt, negative Y tilt no X tilt, negative Y tilt positive X tilt, negative Y tilt negative X tilt, no Y tilt no X tilt, no Y tilt positive X tilt, no Y tilt negative X tilt, positive Y tilt no X tilt, positive Y tilt positive X tilt, positive Y tilt I was not able to consistently paint with the images corresponding to the tilt I was using then (i.e. had my stylus inclined top left, which I considered negative X tilt, negative Y tilt) in order to paint with the image from cell 1. Sometimes it worked, sometimes it used one of the images 7, 8 or 9, sometimes it used image 3. I suspect the code is bugged, but I gave up on that idea and would not want to submit a bug report that is not thoroughly tested (I know most developers love to discard those :) ) ___ Gimp-user mailing list Gimp-user@lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU https://lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU/mailman/listinfo/gimp-user

As an addendum I have found a paper setting in the print menu, CD 5in and further reading indicates that this should print to the CD or DVD avoiding the centre hole and the edge.

[Gimp-user] GIMP and tilt sensitivity
I've just received my new (okay, used and purchased via Ebay...) Intuos graphics tablet, and am toying around with its new features. Especially interesting is its tilt sensitivity. However, the only tool tilt sensitivity seems to have an effect on is the Ink tool. Is this accurate or am I missing something? Furthermore, I've noticed that you apparently can't use the "Undo" function for the Ink tool. Is there a specific reason for this? - Jürgen Hubert Art Tutorials Wiki http://artwiki.wikidot.com/ ___ Gimp-user mailing list Gimp-user@lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU https://lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU/mailman/listinfo/gimp-user

[Gimp-user] Question about saving jpeg images
I am using the 2.3.18 development version of gimp on a SPARC Solaris system, but I also see this with the 2.2.15 version as well. I have a 4MB jpeg file created with my Minolta 7D camera. I load it into Gimp and then immediately save it. The resulting file is now only 482kB in size! When I use exiftool to examine the exif data, I see the following unexpected changes: Original VersionSaved Version - - File Size: 4 MB482kB X Resolution: 72 300 Y Resolution: 72 300 Minolta Image Size: Large Medium Focus Mode: Manual Single-Shot AF ISO Setting:Auto800 Free Mem. Card Images: 300 1 Rotation: Horizontal (normal) Unknown (0) Image Number: 3 4 Image Number 2: 55233 The saved version also reports: Warning : [minor] Possibly incorrect maker notes offsets (fix by -94?) It appears that the development version of gimp is messing up the exif header in a number of ways. But why is the file being truncated to such a degree? Is there something I have set incorrectly that is causing this? Is there a preference setting for a default level of jpeg compression? In both cases the image size is being reported as 3008x2000 but note the difference in the DPI resolution. I feel as though I must be missing something obvious. Thanks for any pointers you can offer.
