Re: [Gimp-user] Problems with Help Manual
I have the same problem. I installed the help program that was bundled with the Gimp version I got from a magazine. But when I click on the help menu in Gimp all I get is a message that says "the Gimp user menu is not installed on my computer". What do I need to do now?

There are other scripting language interfaces available. Python (which I prefer myself), Perl, Ruby, and Lua scripting are all available, Python is more standardized than the others. If you have experience with one of those, I suggest to use that language instead. Personally I think almost any language other than Script-fu is a better choice. I've got quite a wide range of experience with different programming languages myself, but when I try to work with Script-fu/Scheme/LISP, writing anything but the very simplest of procedures invokes great frustration in me.

[Gimp-user] Script-Fu
Hi, I'm currently trying to write a Script-Fu (actually my first one), but although I found several online tutorials on how to go about, I'm still not sure of the proper syntax for most of the steps I would like the script to perform. This is basically an advanced 'Unsharp Mask' I have been doing manually so far, but since I need it very often, would like to make a Script-Fu for this. The steps are: - Decompose the original RGB image to HSV - Select the V layer - Copy the V layer into a mask - Select merely the mask - Perform 'Find Edges (Sobel)' (value: 2.5) on the mask - Perform 'Gaussian Blur' (value: 2) on the mask - Make a selection from the mask - Delete the mask - Select the V layer with the selection - Perform 'Unsharp Mask' (value depends upon the image) - Compose the image back to RGB TIA, Claus -- .:: Claus Cyrny - Webdesign | Grafik | Fotografie ::. :: Website: http://home.arcor.de/ccyrny/ ::. :: Fotos: http://photo.net/photodb/slideshow?folder_id=714471 ::. :: MySpace: http://www.myspace.com/claus_01 ::. ___ Gimp-user mailing list Gimp-user@lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU https://lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU/mailman/listinfo/gimp-user

If you are on widnows, the first task is to get python scripting enabled. The easier way to do it is to downlaod the gimp + python + requisites bundle from http://photocomix-resources.deviantart.com/art/Gimp-Python-support-easier-74889017 and following the install instructions. If you are in an operating system rather than windows, you shou8ld just check your tool for installing components and pick "gimp-python" . The requisite chain will be taken care of for you. (actually, I am not shure about how to proceed on Mac os X). After that, copy the .py file on a Gimp plug-ins folder - you can check the address for those in the preferences->folder section of GIMP. If you are not running windows, the .py file should explicitly be marked as an executable (right click with your file manager, then pick file properties) After that, this particular plug-in should show up in filters->artistic->photo mosaic js -><- > I do like your script! > > Helen > using Gimp 2.4.5 on Linux, SuSE 11 > ___ Gimp-user mailing list Gimp-user@lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU https://lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU/mailman/listinfo/gimp-user

[Gimp-user] Problems with Help Manual
Hi, I really hope you can help me! I originally downloaded GIMP version 2, with the help manual, and it worked really well. Then came GIMP 2.4, and I got that. I also downloaded the Help manual. BUT, I couldn't get it to work with the program, or even separately. Two days ago I decided to do everything I could to get the help info. 1. I went to the online version. Problem is, I have a dial-up connection, so this isn't an option. 2. I found http://docs.gimp.org/ and downloaded the file.It is gimp-help-2.4.2.tar. This one I couldn't open, nor could I get it to work with the GIMP program in any way. 3. After a lot more trawling, I came to GIMPUserManual PDF. "Now, I thought, I've got it!" BUT, although it looks like a .zip file, it isn't, and ZIP won't open it. So, here I sit with two downloaded Help Manuals, but can't even open them! Do please tell me where to go from here!
