Re: selection to paths?!
Hi Coleen
On my laptop, when I choose the Layers, Channels... menu item, I get the
tabbed inspector that has only two tabs: Layers and Channels. Isn't there
supposed to be a paths tab?
The paths tab was not included in version 1.0.4 yet. Try to install 1.1.25 the most
recent version which is really stable already, I use it almost daily and crashes are
_very_ rarely.
Also, I'm used to working fast in Photoshop with keyboard shortcuts...
does GIMP have that functionality?
Gimp does support shortcuts in a very useful way. You see the already defined
shortcuts in the menus to the right like "Ctl+D" for example. To define your own
shortcut just go to the desired command in the menu, and press the desired shortcut.
If this shortcut was assigned to another command already, the old one will be
overwritten. Isn't that easy?
Frustrated,
Not any more, OK? :-)
Hope this helps

Script-Fu
Hi Anybody with Script-Fu experiences? I would like to write a very small script (actually my first...), which would be able to do the following for me: - Add a drop-shadow (script-fu-drop-shadow) - Flatten the image (gimp-image-flatten) - Save this "new" picture under the old name (gimp-file-save) Here is my try: cut here - (define (script-fu-wof-shadow image drawable) (script-fu-drop-shadow image drawable "8" "8" "15" '(0 0 0) "80" TRUE) (gimp-image-flatten image) ) (script-fu-register "script-fu-wof-shadow" "Image/Script-Fu/WoF/Shadow" "Fuegt einem Bild einen Drop-Shadow hinzu, fuehrt Flatten Image aus und speichert das neue Bild." "Renzo Lauper ([EMAIL PROTECTED])" "Renzo Lauper" "07.09.2000" "RGB RGBA GRAY GRAYA" SF-IMAGE "Image" 0 SF-DRAWABLE "Drawable" 0) cut here - Thanks in advance Renzo Lauper -- -- LINUX: Reboot once a year...just for fun. -- Take a look at www.gameoefter.org
Re: Working with selections and channels.
Hi Simon I hope I got your problem right, if not this solution might not help... :-) After having scaled/moved/rotated your floating selection create a new layer out of it. Afterwards activate this new layer and choose Layers-Alpha to Selection. This should get your scaled/moded/rotated car selected again. Hope this helps Renzo Lauper On Wed, 6 Sep 2000 13:51:30 +0100 Simon Wood [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Hi all, I've been exploring the more advanced aspects of Gimp (well more advanced than Paintbrush anyhow). I think I've got the right end of the stick when it comes to channels as a method of storing selections for later use. However I've across a problem/feature I can't think of a way to work around. 1). Take a picture, select an area (such a sports car) and convert this to a channel - great works fine. 2). Deselect area (as if you're doing something else) and use channels to restore selection, cut and paste - I now have the selection as a floating selection. 3). Move/Rotate/Scale the selection to a different area of picture, I want to save this new selection/position to another channel so I can do work with it later - but I can't seem to do it. Whilst the selection is floating the 'convert to channel' is greyed out, and as soon as I defloat to current or new layer I lose my selection. Anyone have any workarounds?? Simon Wood PS.

Re: convert parts of a white backround
Hi Christian
If you want to convert all the white background, try the "by Color..." out of the
select menu and use the bucket fill afterwards.
If you want to select a particular white area which is surrounded by your curves use
the magic wand (is this the word in englisch?) ("Zauberstab"), the forth icon in the
toolbox and click in the white area. This tool selects an area until it reaches a
border with a "threshold"-difference to your starting point.
Think of it as a stone thrown into water, which produces waves. Those waves go on in
all directions, until they reach something, that stops them - in your picture this
border is a different color which differs threshold (Tool Options dialog) from the
starting color (where you clicked.)
Hope it helps

Re: Gamma correction for photos
Hi Rick
Try Image-Colors-Levels and play with the levels. Often just a click on the
"auto"-button helps a lot already.
What you can try also is the entries in Image-Colors-Auto-.
Hope it helps

Hello, all.
I am using Gimp 1.1.24, and I am working with photos.
I have scanned lots of photos, all which are a bit too dark,
using Sane 1.0.1 with Umax 1220S. I want to change the gamma
level the photos so it looks "normal", more like the prints which
I scanned. Can anybody help me here?
Thanks in advance.

AW: Scanner suggestions
Hi Kate In case you are considering bying a UMAX scanner be aware, that their SCSI card is not supported by linux but instead you would have to get another SCSI adapter like adaptec. Besides that, UMAX scanners are great. renzo I'm new to both linux and the gimp - and will be picking up a scanner shortly. I've got SuSE 6.2 - a stripped down version that came with the SuSE for Dummies book, which had Gimp 1.1.7 with it. (Please don't tell me to upgrade - I'm not confident enough yet to install a new version, and except for some script-fu bugs, it's working pretty well.) Anyhow, any suggestions out there for a scanner? There are several listed in the book, but I thought I'd see what suggestions might come my way, as it's a bit outdated. I don't need anything particularly elaborate - my work will consist of scanning a few photos and rough sketches. -- Kate http://www.katewerk.com
