[Gimp-user] A nice toy
Gimp is a nice toy to play with. As a former Photoshop user, I still have 3 questions bugging me: 1. Let's say I have this image I need to rotate precisely by 2.5 degrees CCW. How I am supposed to do this simple task in Gimp? 2. I still didn't figure out how to quickly create my own patterns (this is a simple procedure in Photoshop). 3. A Distort tool seems to be missing in Gimp. Correct me if I am wrong. Running Gimp 1.2.3 on a Mandrake Linux box. ___ Gimp-user mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.xcf.berkeley.edu/mailman/listinfo/gimp-user

1. Let's say I have this image I need to rotate precisely by 2.5 degrees CCW. How I am supposed to do this simple task in Gimp? Use the transform tool and set its options to rotation, traditional. Click on the image to initiate a transfrom then type -2.5 into the Angle field of the Rotation Information dialog before clicking Rotate. 2. I still didn't figure out how to quickly create my own patterns (this is a simple procedure in Photoshop). Save any image you wish to use into your patterns folder with the extension .pat. Open the pattern chooser and click Refresh to load the pattern you have just saved. 3. A Distort tool seems to be missing in Gimp. Correct me if I am wrong. Running Gimp 1.2.3 on a Mandrake Linux box. Take a look at the Filters|Distorts menu, perhaps it contains what you are looking for. -- Steve Crane http://craniac.afraid.org ___ Gimp-user mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.xcf.berkeley.edu/mailman/listinfo/gimp-user

Use the Transform Tool from the toolbox. 2. I still didn't figure out how to quickly create my own patterns (this is a simple procedure in Photoshop). It is a simple procedure in GIMP as well. Patterns are saved with the .pat extension. To make the pattern available from within gimp-1.2 you should save it to one of the pattern directories (e.g. ~/.gimp-1.2/patterns/ on GNU/Linux) 3. A Distort tool seems to be missing in Gimp. Correct me if I am wrong. Did you check the Image/Filters/Distorts/ menu? Not exactly a tool, but I am not sure what it is exactly you are looking for here...

Re: [Gimp-user] A nice toy
Thank you all. Btw I loved the Iwarp distort thing. Also Transform - Perspective is indeed very similar to the Free Transform Photoshop tool. Migrating from Photoshop to Gimp will be less painfull than I thought :-) ___ Gimp-user mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.xcf.berkeley.edu/mailman/listinfo/gimp-user
