I made the plugin bit more friendly and uploaded it to the registry:
http://registry.gimp.org/node/10325

Still only works with Kuler palettes - it will probably choke on
palettes from Photoshop, AI, etc.  Good news is that *all* Kuler
palettes appear to be saved as RGB, so the colors translate straight
into GIMP.

Tested with 2.7 (svn) on Ubuntu and 2.6.1 on Win XP.  If anyone can
test on OS X that would be great.

I have been meaning to release a new version of the gimp-perl package for some 
time now. I haven't gotten around to reading up on how to package the contents 
of the Subversion repository so that a standard build process (ie. cpan) can 
be used to install the binding.

Yeah - I just found a wealth of palette functions in the PDB -
including refresh. Thanks!

Just add a call to gimp-palettes-refresh.

Thanks, Chris. This seems like a good start. It can always be improved later. 
Hopefully, Hedley can test it and report back as to how well it works (or

[Gimp-user] using gimp on windows xp

2008-10-10 Thread Nathan L.
Terry,

They have simplified GIMP, which is probably why you don't see "Copy to
Clipboard" in the Edit menu anymore -- now simply copying should copy the
contents to the clipboard. If you are using Windows or Linux, then Ctrl+C will
copy your image to the clipboard. I'm not sure about the keyboard shortcut to
copy on Mac, but Edit > Copy will do the trick. Simplication of the tool means
removing some unused or redundant features, and combining features that should
go together. By combining simple copy and copy to clipboard, into simply copy
they have made this MUCH easier to use in my opinion.

[Gimp-user] croping an image

2008-10-10 Thread Nathan L.
What tutorial are you using to crop your image? Can you give me a link or URL
to it? Here is the method that I use to crop an image (by crop I assume you
mean remove parts of the image and resize/reshape the image to the part that
you kept.)

1. Click on the selection tool of your choice.
2. Select an area on your image that you would like to crop the image down
to.
3. Copy the part of the image you are keeping by pressing Ctrl+C or using the
Edit menu (then click on Copy)
4. Right click on the image and go to the Edit menu again, then click on
Paste as > New Image

Now you will have the cropped image in a new frame and you can save it. I
don't think that I've ever used any cropping tools or scripts in the GIMP, so
I don't really know about them. In my mind though, the ideal should be: "Do
things the simplest way that you can possibly think of".

Hope that helps, and if you could tell me more about the tutorial you are
using, then I might be able to help more.
