[Gimp-user] image sizes and printing from gimp

2008-06-09 Thread sandy rice
   Hi, trying to revamp my website without photoshop on my imac. I'm
trying to figure out why mac's Preview and gimp show images and image
sizes differently. I changed the image size in gimp to 360pixels wide
which should be 5 but when I print from Safari on a new web page I
created for it, it was much smaller.

   I was also trying to test print a few images only to discover that
print isn't available in gimp. I thought CMYK should only be an issue
on higher-end printers or for film separations. If others are printing
from the Gimp, please tell me how.

There is a chance your imac had a dpi setting of 95 dpi (or there abouts)
and your gimp setting was 72 dpi (or there abouts) so it would have come
out 72/95  smaller

[Gimp-user] gimpgallery 0.8 ...now's the time

2008-06-09 Thread davide|gimpgallery
I'm proud to present the last gimpgallery release, 0.8.
You find it at http://test.gimpgallery.net

As you may already know gimpgallery is a project of a gimp website
especially meant to host and show images and to share xcf sources too.
It is the first attempt to create a community of gimp artists, giving
them a suitable space for their works, projects and ideas.
Gimpgallery is made with drupal, the well known opensource cms and we
started developing it from inkscapegallery (http://inkscapegallery.net).
It was already a good social network software, with most of the features
you're getting used to but we worked a lot to make it even better.
This new release presents many improvements since the last announce and
a better cross browsing. We're supporting firefox 2, opera 9x, ie7 and
ie6 (there are a couple of disclaimer for ie users). There's an issue
with konqueror, instead, due to a javascript not supporting it.
We fixed a lot of issues with internet explorer, as you may see on the
random gallery at http://test.gimpgallery.net/slideshow

If you're a gimp user try it out, every gimp artist now has its own
profile, gallery and slideshow
We made a new home page (http://test.gimpgallery/home) and we are
trying to make things work like we wish to.
gimpgallery is an image gallery website, it doesn't produce news or
tutorials, so we took some rss feeds from the best internet resources
about gimp and we placed in the home page, giving infos and links.

Indeed, we're trying to build a network of gimp websites, everyone with
its own attitude, so we will link gimptutorials.net for didactics,
gimp.org  and gimpusers.com for the news and we would like them to link
us when a user will look for images.
In the home page you see an arrangement for a new feature, an
interview with a gimp artist that we might change every week or
something like that, it is called a few words with...

There's a fully customized submission and registration skin, that is
quite new in the drupal world. We must test it so we hope you to help us
registering and posting many contents. We have the forum where to inform
us about bugs or software's bad behaviors  .

I don't want to annoy you with a long description (even because there
would be too much to say :-) i just ask you to spend ten minutes of
your time to browse it and i ask you to do this deeply, because there's
a lot to see.
Don't mind the images actually, 'cause we have only a few images really
coming from gimp artists, some others come from inkscapegallery and they
stand only for test.
I hope you to like it as it is, but we still have the chance to make
some changes it the layout, we focused on features actually and we hope
them to really meet the requirements.

As soon as we have enough images we will bring it online at its own
address: http://gimpgallery.net  and i think it will be funny :-)
Greetings,
Da.

[Gimp-user] Remember last used directory

2008-06-09 Thread niski
Hi!

I'm using Windows XP and GIMP 2.4.6.

Is there any possibility for GIMP to remember last used directory when 
restarting it? It's not a big problem, it just make me annoyed a bit - I 
usuallly don't leave GIMP running in background when I finish retouching 
and everytime I restart it , I have to chdir to some directory once again.

Best regards,
niski

Re: [Gimp-user] Saving individual layers

2008-06-09 Thread Nathan Lane
You could make each layer the only visible layer then save the file out and
only one layer will be saved out to a file.

On Sat, Jun 7, 2008 at 2:37 PM, scott s. [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote:

 I've been using the Microsoft Office scanning software.  It has the
 capability of saving scans in tiff format.  There must be some
 provision in tiff that allows multiple images (pages) to be saved
 in a single tiff format file.

 Gimp 2.4 (Win XP) tiff reader understands this format, opens the file
 and asks if it should open each page as image or as layers.  Opening
 as layers allows single operations to apply on all pages, making work
 easier.  The problem is there doesn't seem to be any way to print
 without flattening (all you get is the top layer of course) or to save
 the result, keeping the layers, in some format that another program
 can read.  What I would like is something that could convert layers
 to images at least.

[Gimp-user] installation for the commoner

2008-06-09 Thread Bob Meetin
For the commoner running windows do you still need to first download and 
install GTK + 2.10.6-1 runtime environment before installing GIMP 2.4 or is 
there a bundle that only involves one download/install available? This is for 
clients who need it simple...

The GIMP 2.4 Windows build directed to from gimp.org contains GTK+ and
GIMP bundled in one package. No need to separately install GTK+ first.
