[Gimp-user] Trace an image?
I'm trying to trace around an image to create a line drawing. The object I'm tracing has a lot of curves in it so using the Pencil Tool. Also, I've used the Paths Tool and then clicked stroke path. That's all fine and well but it's taking FOREVER to trace the picture. Since the image has a lot of curves is there a tool or gadget in Gimp that can provide a smooth curve, say, around a circle? Use the Intelligent scissors if the image is suitable, then the quick mask to adjust the selection, then stroke. There is a foreground select tool which may do a similar job. Also there are filters which may assist, for example, the Photocopy filter may render a simpler image to trace. -- Owen -- gerard82 (via gimpusers.com) You might also try Filters Edge Detect and the pick the one that's best suited.

[Gimp-user] Question
Can I use GIMP to make EarthMandalas a la http://www.earthmandalas.com/ We don't have photoshop and thought GIMP might be a good alternative. Thoughts welcome.

I'd recommend using Inkscape to draw the circle's sector with the Circle tool (Ctrl+Shift+drag to draw a perfect circle, then drag the right handle and input the exact angle you need in the top toolbar with the tool's settings). Copy the sector to clipboard, in GIMP go to the Paths dockable dialog, right-click for contextual menu and use Paste a Path command. Then select the newly pasted path, move it to desirable location and convert it to selection )bottom toolbar of the Paths dialog). Before rotating, move each new piece of the mandala so that its corner with the smallest radius is right on top of a likewise corner of the adjacent piece. Then when you rotate, there will be a handle in the center of the layer which is the rotation center. Move it to that very corner with the smallest radius. That way you will be able to make perfect alignment of pieces. That's beginning to sound like a complete tutorial mostly because the author pf the original tutorial at http://www.earthmandalas.com did a lousy job at explaining things. Otherwise you'd be able to repeat 80% of the actions as is.
