[Gimp-user] the worth1000.com collection.
A friend just send me some shots apparently from the worth1000.com site, created in Photoshop, that are very very funny. I can't find the same shots on the site but they have thousands out there it seems. For example one shows a quarter horse at full gallop. Not a quarter-horse, a 1/4 horse, just hindquarters and head. Surely ttere is a similar repository of wild and wonderful Gimp pictures. Can anyone suggest the right URL? If you would like to see the jpegs that bent me over, just send me an email at the above address with JPEG request in the title line.

[Gimp-user] Error on CVS configure and make.
When I attempt to update my 2.3 version using cvs the cvs prt runs OK but hten I get this error message on ./configure and later on make: checking for XML::Parser... configure: error: XML::Parser perl module is required for intltool I have Slack 10.1. I also have Active-X Perl. There are man page references to the module but not the module itself AFAICT. Given this combination, where is the best place to find/download the module? Or can I just exclude intltool in some way and get the compile and install done? -- John Culleton Books with answers to marketing and publishing questions: http://wexfordpress.com/tex/shortlist.pdf Book coaches, consultants and packagers: http://wexfordpress.com/tex/packagers.pdf ___ Gimp-user mailing list Gimp-user@lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU https://lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU/mailman/listinfo/gimp-user
[Gimp-user] Converting files to Hexachrome
Hexachrome is the six color format used on some high end printing. There are programs published by Pantone to convert RGB to Hexachrome. My question: other than the Pantone programs, how can one get to Hexachrome format without loss of gamut? Obviously Gimp does not produce it natively so I am looking for a post-Gimp convertor. -- John Culleton Books with answers to marketing and publishing questions: http://wexfordpress.com/tex/shortlist.pdf Book coaches, consultants and packagers: http://wexfordpress.com/tex/packagers.pdf ___ Gimp-user mailing list Gimp-user@lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU https://lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU/mailman/listinfo/gimp-user

If there is no such feature, where could I find info on this topic ? Thanks ! Gilles Maltais While the gamut of CMYK is smaller than the gamut of RGB I don't know how you can define it except by example. There are color charts, or you can generate the same, that will show a range of colors available from your inkjet printer. I have such a printout. Of course every possible combination of C M Y and K would create a book larger than the Manhattan White Pages. Not all the world of color printing depends on the four color process. The book of Pantone colors shows swatches of specific ink colors that are available as spot colors.

[Gimp-user] CVS Gimp and XML:: Parser
The latest update of the Gimp CVS failed on my machine on the ./configure pass because it could not find XML::Parser (a Perl module.) I recently reinstalled Perl from CPAN to satisfy another application. My question is this: is XML::Parser a new requirement for Gimp or is it something that has been required before? -- John Culleton Books with answers to marketing and publishing questions: http://wexfordpress.com/tex/shortlist.pdf Book coaches, consultants and packagers: http://wexfordpress.com/tex/packagers.pdf ___ Gimp-user mailing list Gimp-user@lists.xcf.berkeley.edu http://lists.xcf.berkeley.edu/mailman/listinfo/gimp-user

It seems that the error reported earlier prevented final compilation so I had unstable splash screens but still the same old 2.2 Gimp in actuality. Back to the drawing board. :( Are you running the program as gimp-2.3 ? gimp is just a symbolic link to the actual binary, and the unstable versions to not replace this link to themselves. That indeed was part of the problem. The rest revolves around intltool. Gim unstable wouldn't take version 30. So I upgraded to version 32.1 That gave problems with both cvs downloads. Now I have upgraded to 33 (which comes with the 2.3.1 gimp tarball BTW) and now stable will compile and install without complaint. I still have the 2.3.1 tarball version in a separate directory so in an emergency I can recompile in a hurry over there. -- John Culleton Books with answers to marketing and publishing questions: http://wexfordpress.com/tex/shortlist.pdf Book coaches, consultants and packagers: http://wexfordpress.com/tex/packagers.pdf ___ Gimp-user mailing list Gimp-user@lists.xcf.berkeley.edu http://lists.xcf.berkeley.edu/mailman/listinfo/gimp-user

[Gimp-user] finding/identifying python filters.
I am working with unstable CVS (2.3.2) and am just trying things out. I can find plugins on my disk that have the suffix .py which means of course that they are written in python. But often they have identical names and functions as older script-fu products. So how to I specify the python plug in and distinguish it from the similar script-fu plugin? The plugin browser seems not to make any distinction, or else it simply doesn't show the python plug ins.

That doesn't exist and it would be a terrible waste of bandwidth since you are likely going to download that tarball frequently whereas a simple CVS update would just pull in the changes from CVS. Sven Understood. I am not expert in CVS (translation, I just printed out the manual this morning) but it seems that it is command line driven. Do I sign on to a Gimp CVS server somewhere using telnet? If so what is the address etc.? As I say I am a total babe in the woods with CVS. I do have a CVS program suite on my (Linux Slackware 10.1) system but don't know how to twist the wires together to make the initial interface between my system and the remote system.

[Gimp-user] All about fonts.
A long while back I had a selection of fonts available for Gimp. I had instructions for installing the fonts and making them work. I recall there was a directory in X11 somewhere that was involved. When you used the text function a list appeared from which you could select a typeface and size. Now all that seems to have gone. Now I have forgotten the magic formula, And the www.gimp.org site seems not to mention the issue. Would some kind soul please point my errant fingers to the correct howto and downloads? I have Slackware Linux 10.1 and both Gimp 2.2 and 2.3. - John Culleton The answers to all your publishing questions are found in the excellent books listed in the word-famous shortlist! http://wexfordpress.com/tex/shortlist.pdf ___ Gimp-user mailing list Gimp-user@lists.xcf.berkeley.edu http://lists.xcf.berkeley.edu/mailman/listinfo/gimp-user
