Re: [Gimp-user] Gimp crashes

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. Or re-install it for a user (you) Or set it for general use. (I know it can be done, but I don't remember how.) Check Microsoft's Help and probably any one who supports a Microsoft office group. Or try to help the developers by figuring out what exactly is causing these problems. So far, people who probably could tell this in an instant were rarely affected by such problems, so it seems to be up to those who are to investigate. Using tools like Filemon (or maybe Microsoft's Standard User Analyzer) could maybe provide some insight.

[Gimp-user] Find and Replace Line
The usual solution has long been to zoom way in and change the desired pixels, one at a time. Just what you didn't want to hear. :( Steve How about a select by shape and colour and replace black with red? -- Neale I.

Agreed - I'm not up to date on Gimp versions but loading a ton of programs I don't use just to compile and use Gimp is not in line with my mentality. Portions of this program are taken from the following ... constitutes valid copyright notice, at least last time I asked. Putting them with the GIMP branch makes updates much easier too. Each becomes a whole unto itself, rather than causing conflicts. That thing about write it once and use it often works for cut and paste too. Usually takes less space to boot. Back on corrections - any way that works for the user is valid. And Yes - it is nice to have the needed tools 'pre-built' and available. But - when all else fails :) Steve ___ Gimp-user mailing list Gimp-user@lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU https://lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU/mailman/listinfo/gimp-user
Re: [Gimp-user] Credit Card Hologram Effect
Grant B. wrote: 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. Ouch! Did Homeland Security get a copy of this? :) Yeah, I would be anonymous too. :) I'm laughing - but on a serious note, most any better tutorial for drawing machine parts for display (as opposed to shop needs) should have something on the subject. So should any book on drawing anything that displays chrome parts. Holographic look and feel will need something better than a regular printer. If you can get by with just a visual, look up Eric Christensen's watercolors which have both glass and (sometimes) metal. In general I find most art to be very overly priced. I recently saw one of Eric's originals (as opposed to a lithograph). Priced at tens of thousands of US$ it was still not pricey. If you can duplicate what you see - these might be helpful.

[Gimp-user] Credit Card Hologram Effect
The hologram isn't really the important part. I'd love to make one, but what I really want is the shiny background, like the way this proof penny shines. http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/9/94/2002_Penny_Proof_Obv.png -- Grant B.
