Re: jpeg problems
You need the -dev package (eg. libjpeg-dev) This package should contain the necessary headers. - Tal On Sun, Jan 28, 2001 at 10:00:07PM -0800, bryce wrote: I have gone and compiled gimp 1.2.1... but without jpeg support... as i came to find out.

Re: Lame assistance with PNG Compression
On Thu, Jan 25, 2001 at 01:39:13PM +1000, Mick Raynes wrote: Can anyone offer us assistance with converting/saving a jpg image as png? We have around 5000 images which come in at around 150kb each. We are hoping to convert the images to png because down the track we are hoping to convert them to thumbnails on the fly. The images will only be presented on the net (assume browser capability)and it is pretty important that we retain colour and shadow integrity. We have limited experience with Gimp however we are pretty confident that it will fit the bill and that once we determine the process we will be able to batch convert the images. The original jpg's are not all in the same format as they are taken with different digital cameras with different settings. Our aim would be to reduce the original jpg 1000 by 1000 and 120kb (as an eg) to a png 500 by 500 and about 30kb. As an example we have posted an original jpg image on the net at www.tablelandsonline.net.au/_test/lychee.jpg If you are looking for a file size reduction, then I don't think the PNG format will fit your bill. PNG files generally (in my experiance) have a much large file size than a JPEG. Also, since you source image is already in JPEG format I don't think you'll see any increase in image quality. - Tal -- -- -- | Tal Danzig | Libranet Linux | | [EMAIL PROTECTED] | The TOP Desktop! | | http://tal.thepenismightier.net/ | http://www.libranet.com/ | -- -- Beneath the rule of men entirely great, the pen is mightier than the sword. -- Edward G Bulwer

Any suggestions welcome. I'd love to have it... Compile! Its not hard. Just download the source, unzip it, ./configure, make, su to root, and make install. Or, you can add an apt sources line to /etc/apt/sources.list eg: deb-src ftp://ftp.debian.org/debian sid main contrib non-free and: apt-get -b source gimp1.2 This will compile the sid GIMP 1.2 package for you.

Re: Gifs and transparency
Hi, Depending on how you installed GIMP you may need to install a 'gimp-nonfree' deb, rpm, etc. This is the case for any Debian ( or Debian based ) system. If you installed from source then it is possible that you do not have the required libs for gif support on your system. - Tal On Tue, Dec 26, 2000 at 01:36:59AM -, Zoe Mamalingas wrote: Thanks for the help about rgb - I didn't know that.
