[Gimp-user] Question about the rendering engine
I'm not a developer, so please don't slate me. I'm merely querying. I have six gigs of DDR3 RAM, an i7, and have allocated Gimp three gigs of RAM. My understand is that Gimp should run pretty smoothly. And it does. Except for when my file sizes increase. Let's say I'm working on an A3 page, at 300 DPI. If I grab a large brush and paint quickly, then the brush's response isn't immediate; it's delayed and follows my Wacom activity a few moments later. Is this a result of Gimp's engine? Or is it that my PC is too slow (which seems unlikely)? Furthermore, what can I do to make Gimp run at its absolute fastest in Ubuntu? I'd greatly appreciate tips and tweaks. ___ Gimp-user mailing list Gimp-user@lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU https://lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU/mailman/listinfo/gimp-user

[Gimp-user] Scaling / rotating images and focus
1. I have an illustration with a few layers (lines and colours). 2. I drag and drop, let's say, an image of a TV onto the illustration. 3. I move the TV's layer down to below all the layers, so that it's at the bottom and appears partly behind, say, a cabinet. 4. I want to scale and rotate it so that it looks better (still behind the cabinet). I click the Rotate tool. 5. When I rotate the TV, it no longer appears behind all the other layers (and, thus, behind the cabinet). It appears as if it were the top most layer and, thus, in front of the cabinet. Is there a way to make it NOT do that? This is because I physically can't see behind it, so my rotating becomes guesswork; if my rotation is wrong, then I undo and try again, which becomes a bit tedious. ___ Gimp-user mailing list Gimp-user@lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU https://lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU/mailman/listinfo/gimp-user

Re: [Gimp-user] Scaling / rotating images and focus
Thanks. That does help, but not completely, because the more you lessen the opacity, the less of the preview you can see. It still appears on top of all the layers, rather than in the layer where it was originally positioned (in this case, at the bottom).

It is not described in the > INSTALL file! That's because the advice isn't correct. Make sure that the environment variable LD_LIBRARY_PATH contains the directory of the libgimp you've built. See http://www.chromecode.com/2009/12/best-way-to-keep-up-with-gimp-from-git_26.html for an example: export LD_LIBRARY_PATH="$PREFIX/lib:$LD_LIBRARY_PATH" This causes the lib directory in the chosen installation prefix (provided that $PREFIX is set) to be included in the shared library lookup.

He is installing from a tar-ball into an rpm-based system, openSUSE, and may not be aware of the requirement for running ldconfig (probably should run SuSEconfig *and* ldconfig). The particular version of gimp, 2.7.1, is not presently available packaged as an rpm for his system.
