[Gimp-user] adjusting colour in PDFs
i'm using Ubuntu 9.10. I have severalo PDFs of old books, in which the pages have turned yellow. I know how to adjust that yellow in individual pictures. Is there some way of adjusting it across a total pdf file? I could take the files apart (pdftoppm) and do each individual picture, a pain when the numbers get up to 500+, and I've had trouble getting the pdfs back, together again. Besides that, when I do, I lose the ability to search them. Any help would be appreciated. -- Jim W.

That would be a rather aggressive change to the Text Tool, but if you
wish to suggest it as an enhancement, I would advise that you figure
out precisely how you would envision it being implemented before
proposing it to the developers. For example, you would have to add
controls for specifying a background color, border width, and
offsetting the text both vertically and horizontally within the text
layer (currently only the horizontal placement can be specified, and
that limited to left, center, and right). My personal opinion is that
adding such controls to Text Tool would be of negligible value, and
tend towards making its interface more confusing.

I have mashed up a Script which might prove helpful. Instructions
appear in comments in the script. I hardcoded the width of the border
("2") in the script because it seems as though you wish to streamline
your editing as much as possible, and presenting a dialog to allow a
selectable width would prove a hindrance. You are free to edit the
script to change this default.

[Gimp-user] Moving images from point a to b animated

Gap is more geared towards "Frames" then "Layers" animation
Meaning that your input image may be a layer but a layer of a frame ("Frames"
are images, but name with a progressive number..as 1-image.xcf a frame
may have only 1 or more layer )
Its a quite important point if you don't want work with frames but only with
single image with many layers may be better found some alternative to GAP
As example this script
http://www.gimptalk.com/forum/-script-fu-move-layers-similar-to-gap%CA%B9s-move-path--t46740.html
and the other of same author you will found in the first page of that board
About the advantage of Frames anymationVS layer animation is simple:
a complex animation may require a lot of layer to be smooth
And a image with some hundreds of layer may easily become too big, as file size
, may become impossible save or open it without crashes
Working with frames if your computer has sufficient memory to process the
first, then will be able to process also the others (since once created they
are automatically saved and loaded only when needed ..they don't need to be
all loaded simultaneously
But in case of layers of same image is the contrary, you may not load only a
couple of layer but only all the image

[Gimp-user] installing gap plugin
Install is quite easy, you jusat have to click on the installer What may be hard is trace the link of GAP-2.6 for Windows, because is not reported by Gimp org, and on SourceForge-gimp pages you will found only a very obsolete version or the source code But the good new is that I am hosting here http://photocomix-resources.deviantart.com/art/GAP-2-6-for-Gimp-2-6-Windows-135464357 Download button is at left of the illustration, how install included There are also some extras, (mainly a collection of script fu for animation,) but are in a separate folder so you may chose if install only GAP clicking on its installer or also something else (for that see instration) > Message: 2 > Date: Mon, 22 Feb 2010 17:53:04 +0100 (CET) > From: "Scott" > Subject: [Gimp-user] installing gap plugin > To: gimp-user@lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU > Message-ID: <20100222165304.1c5a018064...@a.dev001.net> > > Hey all this may sound stupid but I can not figure out how > to install the Gap > plugin to Gimp 2.6 on windows vista.

I couldn't find replace mode in the gap move path tool so I tried frame once mode and it seemed to work. I got it to slow down by changing the (ms) in the frames but now it is kind of jerky.
