 hello

 I'd suggest a tool for photographic composition that has as options the
 rule of thirds or the golden ratio. So you can do photo composition on the
 fly and crop the image based on it.



The Crop tool supports this feature already, just like the rectangle select.  
(At least as of GIMP 2.6 ... you didn't say which version.)

It would probably not be too difficult to write a script-fu to add guides to 
the current image/layer for these divisions as well.

[Gimp-user] Rule of thirds or golden ratio tool (suggestion)

already done in several variants for both golden rule and rule of third.

There is already not just one but several similar scripts around of various 
authors same even in obvious places (gimp FxFoundry,the gimp plugin registry...)

[Gimp-user] Downloading and Loading Gimp

2011-03-05 Thread Joseph D. Valley
Problem: Gimp will not open
Solution: Gimp opens 

Here's my machine and os: MacBook Pro OS X 10.6.6

Here's what I have done so far.

1. Downloaded Gimp: GIMP-2.6.11-Snow-Leopard.dmg
2. Downloaded XQuartz-2.6.0.dmg
3. Inserted Mac startup disks and installed X11 per instructions from 

http://webcache.googleusercontent.com/search?q=cache:-YU1eU36wZAJ:darwingimp.sourceforge.net/guides/install_leopard/+problems+with+gimp+osxcd=2hl=enct=clnkgl=ussource=www.google.com

Here's what happens when I open gimp:
1. X11 opens
2. Nothing

What might I do to successfully open Gimp?

Kindly,

Joe Valley
