Re: creating patterns
Hi, since it wasn't understandable what wrote, here once more, what I try: I have a JPG-image. I want to save a little part (16px/16px) of it as a pattern (*.pat). This works only sometimes and I don't understand why it doesn't work in most of the cases. If I eg. create a 16/16 selection of the jpg-image, paste it as new and try to save it, the PAT-option is mostly greyed out, so I can't choose it. Therefor I wanted to know the exact way, how to create a *.pat-file out of a part of a jpg-image, hoping to detect an operation-step that I didn't think of before. Hago
Re: editing layer's mask
Hi, I know, but what I want to do is to modify the alpha values of the affected layer. ? When I apply Mask to a Layer the alpha values are saved permanently so you can't paint anymore. Painting with colors works and and painting with black to have transparent doesn't work anymore if you apply the mask. So create a new layer for to paint with colors and don't apply the mask before you finished. This is really the problem and the only solution I found is to use Levels or Curves to modify them. levels == layers ? Then you're right. Hago
Re: editing layer's mask
Hi, I applied mask to a layer, but now I want to modify it and I can't find any way how to do this. If you make "Add Layer Mask" you are asked if you want a White or Black mask. If you take the white one and eg paint black on it, the affected layer will be transparent instead of black where you paint and you can see the layer or the nothing beneath. Hago ;-)
Re: Script-fu crashes - with ICQ
Hi, once more, what icq are you using? i have icqjava and have never had a problem. Do you run it on a Linux machine? I didn't know, that this is possible. Hago
Re: Script-fu crashes - with ICQ
Hi all, I read several times about script-fu to crash because of "nobody knows". 4 days ago I installed ICQ and since then my script-fus are crashing too. Not all the time, but sometimes. The reason: ICQ uses *.SCM as a fileending. Any music files, but without them, ICQ doesn't work. I just shutdown ICQ when I work with gimp, but I'm not really sure if it doesn't affect script-fu anyway. Does somebody know about a possibility to separate these two things, without uninstalling ICQ? Hago
Re: Re[2]: Round selection (again)
Hi Thomas, Again, it just does not work, the error message I receive is: "Procedural database execution failed: (gimp_selection_bounds 0) Can it be possibly a bug? I tried it again and incidentally I found out, that it works, just like it is. But is works only once, immediately after having started Gimp. If you do anything before, it will display the typical error message. I tested it on linux-gimp 1.1.24 ands on windows-gimp 1.1.19 - the same. For the moment I don't know how to resolve this Problem.

Re: Round selection (again)

Re: 'make' of 1.1.24
Hi, You extract the new source over the older ones? You gave some of the output of the make, this indicates some of the source is not being remade. Try using 'make clean' before using 'make', this might sort things out. I did run 'make clean' - no difference at all. Somethng else to do? Hago
freetype
Hi , I'm interested in the functions of freetype. I tried the test-programs and it works all very nice. Only: I don't understand how to use it eg with Gimp in the dayly work. Well, I found in /usr/doc/packages/freetype a huge mountain of english texts, but since me, my machine and my gimp are speaking german, all this texts are just confusing (it's simply too much). Would somebody give me some hints, how for example to insert the word "TEXT" (antialiased,arial,18pt,r,normal) in a jpg-image ? I've SuSE-Linux 6.4, xfstt installed, gimp 1.1.20 I would be glad about some help. Hago
gimp-1.1.20 - installation
Hi everybody. I'm trying to install Gimp-1.1.20 in my SuSE-Linux 6.4. First I tried to use the glib and gtk+ (both 1.2.7) from the SuSE cdrom - didn't work Then I downloaded glib and gtk+ (both 1.2.7) and tried to install them anew (first I uninstalled the buildin glib and gtk+): glib installs perfectly, I can find eg glib-config in /usr/local/bin. But when I try to install gtk+ already ./configure doesn't succeed, because it can't find glib-config If I try then: ./configure --with-glib-prefix=/usr/localit finds glib-config, but says: can't find glib Xlibraries I dont know how to go on. Is there somebody who could help me? Ah, Before I installed the same glib, gtk+ and Gimp in my sons SuSE-Linux 6.2 without any problems RegardsHago
Re: Set transparency
Hi, I have a small gif that has a picture in the middle, with an irregular black border around it. How do I set the black border to be transparent? 1 Image /image/mode/RGB 2 /image/alpha/add alpha channel 3 then you select the black border, for example a Either with "fuzzy select" (selects similar pixels, you can set it in the tool properties(doubleclick on the tool icon) even to 0 , then it selects only pixels with for example the color #00) b Or with select by color (similar properties, you will see) 4 If it's selected, you cut it - it becomes transparent. 5 Image /image/mode/indexed 6 save as gif I hope it helps Hago
Re:xfs-installation-13.04
Hallo, thanks a lot for all the help I found here. I tried everything you all consulted and I finally found out, that xfstt tries to start in runlevel 3, but failes. So the Xserver cannot start as long as the fontpath "../:7101" exists in XF86Config. I still can start xfstt later manually, but then the Xserver becomes instable and tends to crash easily. Does anybody have an idea, why this xfstt won't start? Would it perhaps be better to start it earlier? regards Hago
xfs-installation-13.04
Hi all, for hours now I'm trying to install new fonts for gimp. Freefont and sharefont have been easy to install, but I don't succeed to install the truetype fonts (I'm trying first to install only verdana) I installed xfs as it is consulted in its install-text, then I read a lot of text in my SuSE-manual, but it doesn't help, it just confuses. My fonts are in: /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fontsthe encodings tarball in /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/encodings the truetype fonts in: /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fontstt inside there is now: fonts.dir, verdana.ttf fonts.dir: 1 verdana.ttf -microsoft-verdana-medium-r-normal--0-0-0-0-p-0-iso8859-1 in XF86Config I have set the paths: .. FontPath "/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/sharefont" FontPath "/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/ttfonts/fonts.dir" FontPath "/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/encodings/encodings.tar" I also tried to set : FontPath "tcp/localhost:7100" But after the reboot I couldn't start the Xserver anymore and I had to remove it. and there is: /etc/xfs.config What can I do? What is the fault? Some help would be very pleasant Thank you Hago
Re: xfs-installation-13.04
Hi , Am Thu, 13 Apr 2000 schrieben Sie: For truetype fonts you need to install the extra truetype font server 'xfstt'. It should also be included in the SuSE distribution. http://fonts.linuxpower.com/ That is how I got .ttf fonts workin' I found everything -thank you very much- and got it working, the fonts are now available - BUT: if I put the FontPath "unix/:7101" to the XF86Config file, The Xserver will not work at the next boot. If I contact the internet it crashes too. The same problem I had with "localhost:7100" with xfsft. Something doesn't work - any hints? Regards Hago

printer-problems
Hi all, I'm trying the ported Version of gimp in win98 with a Deskjet695C printer. Two friends of mine the same but with Canon printers. We all have the same problem: if I use image/file/print the print is - how shall I say - instead of a b/w fotografy there are a few small black patches on the Paper; instead of a jpg-image there are blue,red and purple vertical lines on the paper. In other programms the printer works correctly. Does somebody know, what is wrong or what I can do to fix this? RegardsHago

Re: Selecting Transparancy Color in Gimp
Hi, I want to paint in transparancy, as well as cut out areas of an image, leaving transparancy behind, but all I can do is work with selectable colors, gradients, and patterns, current color settings, etc. How do I activate transparancy so I can do this? You have to rightclick into the image - then do: image/alpha/add alpha channel after that you can cut and transparency will be left instead of a backgroundcolor. Hago

Re: Extend, intersect selection in Gimp 1.1.13
Hi Gerd, I use Gimp 1.1.13 and it seems that add, substract and intersect selections doesn't work properly. I've tried it as usual: - switch to selection mode and make a selection - press Shift and make another selection Allthough the pointer changes to an arrow with a small plus-sign the first selection isn't extended with the new one, but replaced. The same happens with 'Ctrl' for substract and 'Ctrl-Shift' for intersect. Any ideas on this ? Did I compile something wrong or is it a bug ? It's a bug, I first noticed it in Gimp1.1.7. This is a very stupid bug and I'm sorry about it, because it's nearly impossible to use Gimp without the selection-tool working properly. Hago
