crop tool behaviour
I don't think it's a good idea to move the cropping selection on topright and
bottomleft corner while scale it on the other two. I'd rather use alt for the
selection movement. imagine having a huge image and want to make a precise
crop. You would have two reectangles, one in top right and one in bottom left
of the image. It is a pain to exactly position the cropping rectangle. You
cannot alter the bottom left and top right corners...
I solved the situation with two selections and crop from selection, but it is
not quite right.
Can I have your thoughts on that?

I want to extract the person (and nothing else) from the jpeg photo and paste the person onto another jpeg image. You'll need to use one of the selection tools to select the person and then cut or copy them to the clipboard. (and paste into the new image) Different users have different ways of selecting things. I prefer using the Bezier tool. There is a good tutorial at Tigert's site: http://tigert.gimp.org/gimp/tutorials/bezier/ Beyond that practice, practice, practice. It shouldn't take very long to get good at selecting things. After I graduated college when I applied for a job as a commercial photographer I was asked to use photoshop's bezier tool to select a shoe from an image. The guy who was interviewing me timed me with a stopwatch. I got the job and we used beziers to select everything we photographed. (commercial product photography for catalogs) Beziers were a way of life. :-) Good luck and enjoy! -- Jon Winters http://www.obscurasite.com/ OpenVerse http://www.openverse.org/
Re: crop tool behaviour
I use the crop tool to swipe out box and get it close. Then I fine tune things with the pop-up dialog that lets you place toe corners exactly where you want them. -- Jon Winters http://www.obscurasite.com/ OpenVerse http://www.openverse.org/

That message was sent "pre-coffee" this morning and I apologize for all the spelling and grammar errors. What I was trying to say: Use the crop tool to select a box that is close to what I want to crop then use the arrows in the popup to fine tune the corners to the exact locations. Good to see the traffic picking up on this list. :-) -- Jon Winters http://www.obscurasite.com/ OpenVerse http://www.openverse.org/

Re: crop tool behaviour
You may want to try using the guides. To place guides right click on the
left or top ruler and then drag a guide into the picture. You can fine
tune its position by using the move tool.
Now when you go to make your selection it will snap to the guides for
your crop(assuming this function is turned on which it is by default)
Your message is a little confusing, but hope this helps

PPM in 24 bit?
Hi there, as I'd like to create mpeg2 still frames with mpeg2encode from pictures I've created in Gimp. The only way I was able to do this at the moment was to export ppm files an to use these files with mpeg2encode. Although it is mentioned in the description of netpbm (man ppm), saving ppm's in ASCII format writes only 256 colour ppm's from 24 bit graphics... Is there a) a possibility to write ppm's with more than 8 bit? b) a way to export yuv's or so in 24 bit? c) perhaps a direct way to create mpeg2 still frames?

I am quite sure that the Gimp writes images in 24 bit mode if your original image is in RGB mode: P3 # CREATOR: The GIMP's PNM Filter Version 1.0 512 512 255 (looks like 24 bit to me) b) a way to export yuv's or so in 24 bit? Not easily. You can, however, use imagemagick's convert to translate images into seperate or combined yuv images (all images with a singlke command if you need ;) c) perhaps a direct way to create mpeg2 still frames? Maybe you should look at the gap plug-in, AFAIK it can write mpeg2 frames, but I never tried myself. -- -==- | ==-- _ | ---==---(_)__ __ __ Marc Lehmann +-- --==---/ / _ \/ // /\ \/ / [EMAIL PROTECTED] |e| -=/_/_//_/\_,_/ /_/\_\ XX11-RIPE --+ The choice of a GNU generation | |
