[Gimp-user] Is it really that complicated to make a circle?

There are not really so much steps involved. Step 1. Create an empty image. This is not really an step, at least if you are already working in an image Step 2. Select the color for the image. Obviously; doesn't matter whether you are using The Gimp or other app. Step 3. Create a ellipse selection as a circle. Correct. Step 4. Fill in this circle. Instead of doing this, you want to do 'edit/stroke selection', specifying (number of pixels) the thickness. Step 5. Select none (ctrl+shift+'a') Hope it helps.

[Gimp-user] Autostart script
Is it possible to do an autostart script on gimp... something that e.g. minimize the empty image or even move it out of my viewport... -- joschi ___ Gimp-user mailing list Gimp-user@lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU https://lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU/mailman/listinfo/gimp-user

Jaime So it is just three steps really, steps 3-5 in your list. I suppose that is reasonable. Is there any way to see the thickness of the circle when selecting? For instance, in Kolourpaint (I use KDE) the user selects the Elipse tool, and when he drags the tool he sees exactly what the result will be. Can this be done in Gimp?

Re: [Gimp-user] Is it really that complicated to make a circle?
Instead of stroke selection...you might try converting the selection to a path and stroking that. The result will be smoother. --- On Tue, 6/30/09, Dotan Cohen dotanco...@gmail.com wrote: From: Dotan Cohen dotanco...@gmail.com Subject: Re: [Gimp-user] Is it really that complicated to make a circle?

[Gimp-user] Gimp crashes
I'm running GIMP 2.6.6 on Vista Home Premium SP1. If I use GIMP normally and try to use Colour Tools-Contrast-Brightness GIMP just stops working and crashes. If I run GIMP as administrator then I can use Colour Tools ok. So I guess it is workround. Paul -- Paul W.

[Gimp-user] Black line around transparent GIF
I am working in GIMP 2.6 I am able to create a transparent gif but when viewing the gif file a black line shows up around the perimeter of the gif which defeats the purpose of having it transparent in the first place. The line shows up around the boundry fo the gif file no matter what canvas size i make it. I am sure this is a noob problem and any help will be appreciated. -- Tony (via www.gimpusers.com) ___ Gimp-user mailing list Gimp-user@lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU https://lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU/mailman/listinfo/gimp-user

The line shows up around the boundry fo the gif file no matter what canvas size i make it. How are you viewing the GIF?

Re: [Gimp-user] Is it really that complicated to make a circle?
Not that hard. On the site someone points to a tutorial that does the same thing using stroking and he incorrectly responds that it would create a more pixelated result. ___ Gimp-user mailing list Gimp-user@lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU https://lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU/mailman/listinfo/gimp-user

[Gimp-user] Credit Card Hologram Effect
Hey all, I'm working on a project and would like to be able to produce an effect similar to one of those holograms on a credit card. Specifically, I'd like to replicate the metallic shine of the background, and if possible, the picture to some extent. Anyone know how/know where a good guide to doing so is? I looked around google for a while and didn't see anything. -- Grant B.
