[Gimp-user] PNG vs JPG
i have created some wallpapers for GNU and want to publish them on my blog. all are under Free Art License. Primarily, i use GIMP and save images PNG format and i see my images are of size 2.5 MB. when i convert them to JPG format they get reduced to only 347 or 600 KB of size without any loss in quality. i have a slow broadband connection. I can not upload images of size more than 1.5 MB and hence PNG images never got published on my blog. i live with the GNU spirit and use Free formats only like HTML and TXT for articles i use to write. In GIMP, is there any way i can reduce those PNG images to same size as JPG ? Why JPG is so lightweight as compared to PNG ? (even when image doe snot have any transparency) ( BTW, is JPG a fre format like PNG ? ) -- http://arnuld.blogspot.com/ ___ Gimp-user mailing list Gimp-user@lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU https://lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU/mailman/listinfo/gimp-user

This seems to be written for Gimp 2.2, but 2.4 will have significant changes. Can you (or the author) address that issue?

If you can not wait for them to be fixed, the lamer way: just have to change on both files (set! new (car(gimp-layer-copy layer 1))) ; Add an alpha channel by (define new (car(gimp-layer-copy layer 1))) ; Add an alpha channel ___ Gimp-user mailing list Gimp-user@lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU https://lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU/mailman/listinfo/gimp-user

Re: [Gimp-user] Font quality in GIF files
Thanks for all who took the time to answer and help.

I've found the following on gimpusers.com regarding the upcoming 2.4 release: - script-fu migration howto A document, perhaps as part of the new website, that explains what needs to be done to fix scripts that fail to run correctly with GIMP 2.4. Perhaps also explain new features in 2.4 that are relevant for script authors. Point to documentation for Tiny-Fu. Don't know if the mentioned document has been written. However, the pointer to the tiny-fu docs could be helpful. Rgds, Stephan. ___ Gimp-user mailing list Gimp-user@lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU https://lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU/mailman/listinfo/gimp-user

I have just downloaded and tested two scripts and get the same error with each: Error: Set!: Unbound variable: new The scripts are gm-invert and gm-solarize. Is there some incompatability with newer versions of Gimp and these scripts?
