Re: [Gimp-user] Problems using CanoScan N1220U
Otto Roberson wrote: I've built Gimp 2.2.10 from source on Mac OS 10.4.5. I installed Sane as well. Can't seem to get the USB Canon scanner to function though, even after editing the scanner setup file in the Sane system preferences pane. In Gimp, the Twain plug-in crashes. Maybe someone has seen this before, if needed I can provide the crash log. Twain is still a little dodgy on the Mac; I hope to get back to working on this once I get a new scanner to test with. If you can send me the crash log, well no guarantees but it might help. :) In my earlier testing, the SANE-TWAIN drivers worked more reliably than the manufacturer-provided TWAIN driver, but that was some time ago. What version of the drivers are you running? -- brion vibber (brion @ pobox.com) signature.asc Description: OpenPGP digital signature ___ Gimp-user mailing list Gimp-user@lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU https://lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU/mailman/listinfo/gimp-user
[Gimp-user] Re: PNG binary transparency
Diaa Sami wrote: AFAIK, the PNG file format supports two kinds of transparency: variable transparency(alpha channel) and binary transparency. I know how to add an alpha channel to the image and manipulate it, but what I'm asking about is the binary transparency, there should be a method to choose a color that will be the transparent color(like GIF's), I know I can use the alpha channel to simulate this(using Select By Color or something), but I want it to be saved to the PNG file as a transparent color. Is this supported by the GIMP? If you save an indexed-color image as a PNG from Gimp, it will be saved in binary transparency mode just like a GIF. -- brion vibber (brion @ pobox.com) ___ Gimp-user mailing list Gimp-user@lists.xcf.berkeley.edu http://lists.xcf.berkeley.edu/mailman/listinfo/gimp-user

[Gimp-user] Re: New to list! Cannot write XPM
Geek wrote: I am a Debian woody user and use the .deb package of GIMP, which is 1.2.3 at this time. 1.2.3 is about three years old, and two entire release cycles have gone by since then, including lots of bug fixes. If you can't run a current version (the current stable release is 2.2.2), you might try contacting the Debian package maintainer. (Much more recent versions of Gimp are available in Debian's testing and unstable distributions.) I just had to re-install and found my freshly installed GIMP cannot write XPM, but only read. I have the full XPM libraries installed, including the -dev headers. A google search on 'gimp save xpm' turns up a notice about a problem on Mandrake with a bug in the XPM library causing Gimp to be unable to save XPM files. The same or a similar bug may or may not be hitting you. Also, you might want to specify just how things are failing. Is there an error message when you try to save, or is the option of XPM not even given? Are there messages on the console? etc -- brion vibber (brion @ pobox.com) ___ Gimp-user mailing list Gimp-user@lists.xcf.berkeley.edu http://lists.xcf.berkeley.edu/mailman/listinfo/gimp-user

I'd be interested in working on a new plugin registry if the old one is not going to be resurrected (or it if will remain unmaintained even if it comes back up). -- brion vibber (brion @ pobox.com) PGP.sig Description: This is a digitally signed message part
Re: [Gimp-user] Changing color range (again)

The edge of the ball is blurred and has an alpha channel that mixes the shaded color to the background color (whatever that is). What I would like to do now is change the base color of that ball to green. I would generally use the Hue-Saturation tool for this (in Layer/Colors menu). Turn the 'Hue' slider to the left until it's sufficiently green. You might also try the 'Colorize' tool in the same menu. -- brion vibber (brion @ pobox.com) PGP.sig Description: This is a digitally signed message part

Re: [Gimp-user] no print menu in Gimp
Sven Neumann wrote: David Mitschelen [EMAIL PROTECTED] writes: I've installed Gimp 1.2.4 on my ibook running Jaguar. Gimp seems to work fine but has no print menu and there is no print plug-in listed in the plug-in folder. I installed gimpprint 4.2.7 and ghostscript but still no menu. I take it Gimp doesn't automatically detect the plug-in. Any help would be appreciated. Is there a particular reason for using GIMP 1.2 and not the 2.0.3 build (for example from http://gimp-app.sourceforge.net/) ? The Gimp.app build is very convenient but unfortunately it doesn't run on Jaguar. It probably builds from source, though... DarwinPorts might work. Printing works for me with the current Gimp.app release on Panther, though someone else has reported not finding the print menu item. I'm not sure what factors might be involved there. -- brion vibber (brion @ pobox.com) signature.asc Description: OpenPGP digital signature

Re: [Gimp-user] importing pictures
Kurt Yoder wrote: I just recently started using Gimp 2.0 on X11/Mac OS X. Now I've hit a snag; perhaps someone here can offer a pointer? I opened a gif in gimp and am trying to do gaussian blur on it. However, all my filters are greyed out. Am I missing something obvious? Not much works on indexed color images (and all GIF files are indexed color, it's a limitation of the format). Hit 'Image/Mode/RGB' in the menu to convert it. (Possibly coincidental: while looking into this problem and attempting to duplicate/move layers, I came upon a dialog saying the gif has no alpha channel) You shouldn't normally have to do this, but for reference if you do: when there's a background layer where transparency doesn't work, right-click (command-click if you have a one button mouse) on the layer in the layers dialog and hit 'add alpha channel'. -- brion vibber (brion @ pobox.com) signature.asc Description: OpenPGP digital signature

There are two ways around this: you can convert the image in Gimp to indexed color (yuck, but compatible; not suitable for all types of images), or use terrible scary IE hacks to make it render alpha transparency (looks great, but doesn't always work depending on IE version and security settings).
