 Hi,
 I've created two banners (with The GIMP ofcourse)
 for use on my site (if others want to use my banners), 
 and would appreciate some comments
 
 You can see the banners at:
 http://www.cubicdesign.com/banners/

I like nr 1.
I don't get the point on nr 2. 
My girlfriend thinks nr 2 is cheap. :-)

being geekish on a a1200

2000-08-18 Thread Mat Colton

  You can view this stuff at home... hmm... Are you a true computer geek if
  you don't do stuff at home? Are there not other Gimp tutorial sites? Just a
  few questions...
 
 who has to be a true computer geek? do people not use the Gimp for what it
 is/does rather than what computer or OS they use? Hell, I must be, like,
 100% geekish because I run the Gimp on a PowerPC linux system on my Amiga
 A1200 with PPC board and BVision 24bit gfx expansion. I dont care, I use
 the Gimp as a tool to do a job...it even almost beats the AmigaOS gfx
 programs out there ;-) 

Offtopic: Are there any gfx programs left on the amiga which still being
developed? 
I hope Photogenics(http://www.paulnolan.com) will work well with linux. The
drawing modes are very  nice. The alpha preview for linux from paul nolan felt
great, and was quite a bit faster on my PC than on my A1200/040/603/bvision. Of
course. Arteffect is nothing compared to the  GIMP. Artstudio is, well, ancient.
Something I'd really like to see for the GIMP is a plugin like "Eye Candy" for
Photoshop or "Candy Factory" for Amiga. Ok, you can do all of the stuff with
GIMP too, but it doesn't have the nice GUI where everything is in one 
place. :-)

 yes, PG, IFX, AE and a few more.

 It look like it will...whether it can compete with the free Gimp is
 another matter...it was the subject of an interview earlier this year.
 (in AmigActive magazine I believe)

It's so different, I doubt they'll compete. The brushes and drawing modes are
great. Wow!
All you Linux gals/guys, be sure to check Photogenics, it's really worth it.
Another great Amiga app coming to linux, and more is to come.

gimp links and problems with naked humans

2000-08-18 Thread Mat Colton

 Hi,
 Hm...it seems that some people are against my idea, while others
 seem supportive...

Different countries, different mentalities. I can't see the problem either. I
see women like her everyday when I go swimming. And to be honest, I've haven't
seen any kid going blind, nor do I go nuts about naked breasts... Anyway, the
model is far from being naked. 
The tutorial is just fine, you can use a man for the next tutorial, equal
rights and so on. :-) Or maybe Barbie and Ken...
Is there a link page somewhere where all GIMP tutorial are listed? gimp.org is
really not up to date.


 Don't let any of this get to you, maybe some of the more technical replys
 make sense, the others are just jokes, or simply nonsense.
 
 next time when you use a picture of a whale you'll probably get people of
 GreenPeace at your throat.
 You use a picture of a steak, and it's the vegetarians, you use a picture of
 glass of milk, and it's the veganists, and so on.

;-)

In the USA, it ok to:
-know about the KKK and the michigan militia and claim Germany has a nazi
  problem 
-have the highest per head polution of the world
-vote for the candidate with the best PR without having a clue of what he stands
  for. 
-tell the rest of the world what to do

But it is not ok to:
-have a natural relationship to your body and sex and even admit it,
  which doesn't matter, since you can see a bank robbery live in TV at 3pm right
  after school, so sex is boring, killing is cooler
-drink alc. under 21, which doesn't matter, since you can get crack everywhere
-accept that the rest of the world has an opinion too
-admit you have an atom bomb problem in front of Greenland

(Please don't take this too serious)
Oh, BTW, I am american. :-)

 At least according to daniel egger, suse and redhat already use (and need)
 different specs files for gimp.

That's true, I used to have a redhat and a suse machine and couldn't use the
same rpm package.
But that's true for quite a lot of rpms.
