Re: [Gimp-user] GIMP vs Photoshop

Torsten says:

Also, no serious photographer will just abandon analog photography and go
totally digital. Any fine grained film will yield much better resolutions
than
what the most expensive digital cameras are capable of.

This is simply not true. I am a serious non-professional photographer who
carefully tracks pro equipment and technology. Film was approximately the
same resolution and quality when the Canon D60 came out. The largest book in
the world has 6ft by 4ft prints made both from Fuji Velvia and also the
Canon D60.  They are on par.  Since then resolution for digital has far
surpassed film.  There are plenty of photographers that stilll use film, but
they are a shrinking minority.

Re: [Gimp-user] Page Setup paper size settings won't stay

The only workaround seems to be fairly radical: print from other software.
What are some recommended free software tools that I can use for this
workaround?  The Windows photo manager (or whatever it is called) is no
longer available after a two month free trial on my new netbook. What are
other good options for me to use as a workaround? I may need to install
something.

SUGGESTION: for all bugs in Bugzilla, there should be a clear description of
how to workaround the problem.  I had to read all the posts and stumble on a
bit of text buried there.  I did not see a field anywhere in a formal bug
description with this info. Perhaps I am not looking in the right place?

I'm new to Gimp, spending a lot of time in past two weeks learning it to
make Xmas present photo gifts.  While this glitch prevented me from
completing my task in time, overall I'm pretty impressed with Gimp.

[Gimp-user] Page Setup paper size settings won't stay

[Michael F Uschold]

This is the sequence of events:

1. I enter Page Setup, where the current page size is set to, say Letter
2. I change the paper size to be 6x4
3. I click OK.
4. I enter Page Setup again.  The current page size is still Letter. It
should have changed to 6x4.

If I change the paper size to Legal, or some other size, it works. The
margins settings also get saved correctly if I change them.

There is something about 6x4 that it is choking on. Any hints?
