[Gimp-user] How do you remove guides in gimp-2.0?

[Gimp-user] Is this a Gimp 1.3.23 bug?
Ok, I've been using Gimp 1.3.23 to do some image work and tried the Text Tool and LOVE it! :)I've been creating layers like crazy and noticed as I switch between images and create new layers, the name of the last layer created becomes the default name of the new layer being created. I have no problem with this behavior if I'm creating layers in the same image. However, if I close the first image and open or create a new one, the default name of the new layer is STILL the name of the last created layer. Is this a bug? If so, I'll open a bug report. Thanks... Peace... Tom ___ Gimp-user mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.xcf.berkeley.edu/mailman/listinfo/gimp-user
[Gimp-user] Question about JPEG image scaling
Hi! Ok, I'm using Gimp 1.3.23 on Linux. I've got a JPEG taken by a digital camera at 1892x1992 (pixels) resolution. The Print Size Display Unit info is: Width: 26.278 in Height: 27.667 in Resolution X: 72.000 px/in Y: 72.000 px/in So, I take this to mean the image is 72dpi and could be printed to a size of 26 x 27. Now, I want to print this image as a 5x7 image so I change the Height setting in the Print Size Display Unit section to 7 and the width changs to 6.649, leaving the units in inches. The resolution then changes to 284.554 px/in. So I take this to mean the image now is the size of 6.65 inches wide and 7 inches high at 284.55 dpi. Is this correct? If I click Ok, will I now have an image which is 6.65x7 in size instead of the 26x27 I started with? If I then printed this image, would it print as a 6.65x7 image? Thanks in advance for your help! :) Peace... Tom ___ Gimp-user mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.xcf.berkeley.edu/mailman/listinfo/gimp-user

Correct. Though being nitpicky, the correct term is ppi (pixels per inch).

If I click Ok, will I now have an image which is 6.65x7 in size instead of the 26x27 I started with? Yes. It won't actually change, but the amount of dots (or pixels, more accurately) per inch will be higher, resulting in a smaller image on paper. If I then printed this image, would it print as a 6.65x7 image? It should. It can vary slightly depending on the printer, but it should generally work out. Marco Perfect! Thanks! Peace...

I don't plan to add support for vertical text until Pango supports it. Sven One way I've figured out to do this is by using the "Dynamic Text" tool. Simply choose the text tool from the toolbox, right click on the image and click "Dialogs", then "Tool Options", then make sure "Dynamic Text" is checked. Then with the text tool selected, create a new transparent layer (always a good thing to do), and click on the image and the dynamic text tool dialog should open. Choose your font, font size, and metric (points, pixels, etc). Then type the first letter and then press "Enter" then type the second letter and press "Enter", etc.. Then when done, click "Apply" and the text should appear vertically as a floating selection that you can then choose the "move tool" to move around to the final location and then anchor. At least that's worked for me :) Peace... Tom

[Gimp-user] Question about magic wand selections and layer masks
Hi! Ok, someone on a message board I moderate on asked how to make a composite image from two images to be used as a desktop background. Here are the source images: http://www.rytekmotorsports.com/neo-anime-big.jpg (1600x1200) http://www.yourwallpaper.com/pop/movies/matrix/matrix03-1024.phtml (1024x768) He wanted to make the matrix-1024 image the background and have Neo in the foreground. Someone replied to his post with these instructions: 1) resize Neo to 1024 x 768 2) make a new layer 3) copy and paste matrix background into Neo picture 4) send that layer to background 5) add layer mask/reveal all from layer menu 6) select Neo layer and select all white parts with the magic wand 7) fill the selected area with BLACK , the matrix background will appear 8) apply a little Blur to the Neo Layer to blur edges 9) voila! So I decided to try this and I was able to get the wallpaper image created. However, my version of Neo has a white line outlining him whereas the person who posted the instructions produced a version with NO outline using PhotoShop.

Re: [Gimp-user] USB scanner, Xsane and Gimp
Nigel Ridley wrote: Hi all, I know this isn't exactly Gimp stuff - but I am trying to access my new USB scanner through the Gimp: File - Acquire - Xsane: Device dialog and I figured that lots of you guys must have already set up a USB scanner :-) Anyway, I've done a lot of google-ing but so far have been unable to find out how to set it up. When I re-booted the system (I installed a new sound card - SBLive [which I'm still trying to get working]) the usb modules loaded ok and I have an entry /dev/usb/scanner0 (-rw-rw-rw-). However, when I try to access it from within the Gimp (or thru Xsane), I get an error message that no devices are available. I did do a 'sane-find-scanner -v' and got the following: sane-find-scanner: checking /dev/usb/scanner0... open ok, vendor and product ids were identified sane-find-scanner: found USB scanner (vendor = 0x04a5, product = 0x20b0) at device /dev/usb/scanner0 Do I have to mount the scanner first- if so what do I put in /etc/fstab? Or is it that I have to make the system think that it is a scsi device? Any pointers welcome :-) Blessings, Nigel First, you have to get your scanner working under XSane. This problem is not a GIMP problem and I'm willing to work with you on this offline. I have a HP ScanJet 5200C (USB) that I use with GIMP and XSane without problems. I also encountered the same problem you did and WAS able to get it resolved through XSane configuration changes. E-mail me your scanner make/model and we can go from there :) Peace...

[Gimp-user] Gimp and dpi
Hi! I'm running Gimp 1.2.3 on both Linux and Windows NT. It works GREAT on BOTH platforms! I've been learning how to do stuff from a friend who is a big PhotoShop user and he often tells me I should save the JPEGs of photos I touch up at a resolution of 72 dpi. When I first installed the Gimp, I was asked which screen resolution to use and I chose acquire from current display (or whatever that option is). Since then, I have NOT been able to find where I can control the dpi setting when saving images. In PhotoShop, it gives you a place to specify the dpi to use when saving a file. Does this same, or similar, function exist in Gimp? Thanks in advance for your time. Peace. Tom My DVD Collection

This is normally not a problem, since it is quite unimportant for most people. building embedded perl module... no writing Gimp/Config.pm... ok Checking if your kit is complete... Looks good So the Scheme to Perl translator is what will NOT work and Scheme support WILL work. Sorry for misleading you :) Peace..

Re: [Gimp-user] Help to Write How To Compile the GIMP Stable Tarball
I think I sent a blank message earlier, so here is a re-send. Sorry for the confusion about the Scheme support as related to the Parse::Descent Perl module. Here is the EXACT message I get from the configure script: invoking perl for configuration... checking for PDL support... yes checking for PDL include path... -I/usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.6.1/i586-linux/PDL/Core checking for PDL typemap... /usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.6.1/i586-linux/PDL/Core/typemap.pdl NOTICE: Parse::RecDescent not found, scm2perl, the Scheme-Perl translator, will not work. This is normally not a problem, since it is quite unimportant for most people. building embedded perl module... no writing Gimp/Config.pm... ok Checking if your kit is complete... Looks good So it looks like Scheme WILL be support but the Scheme to Perl translator will not work.
