Well, this is a mail list to support users of The GIMP, so posting finished work is not what is expected, rather a description of how the finished work was achieved, so others can learn from it. It is method that will find people here willing to critique, not the final image. So post links to the component images and the description of the processes used, in as much detail as possible, and ideally, the final .xcf file before you exported the .png Greg Chapman http://www.gregtutor.plus.com Helping new users of KompoZer and The GIMP ___ gimp-user-list mailing list gimp-user-list@gnome.org http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gimp-user-list
[Gimp-user] Background textures
I have bought and downloaded some background textures. My problem is that I can not figure out where to put them once I unzip the file. I want to use them in Gimp 2.6, but where do I copy and paste them to. Once this is accomplished, how do I open them in Gimp? This is probably very basic, but I am new at this stuff and need help PLEASE. Thank you very much! :) -- foggycreek (via gimpusers.com) ___ gimp-user-list mailing list gimp-user-list@gnome.org http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gimp-user-list

You could also mention what file format they are in and what system you use (Linux, Win, Mac). If they are PNG or PAT, you can just drop them to your local folder for patterns. You can see where it is for yourself, use Edit/Preferences/Folders/Patterns menu path.

Okay, so I just put them in their own file, like I have my Pctures in? And then just grab one from there when I want one? -- foggycreek (via gimpusers.com) ___ gimp-user-list mailing list gimp-user-list@gnome.org http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gimp-user-list

Thank you very much! :) -- foggycreek (via gimpusers.com) You have to open a terminal window, go to the the directory you expanded files to and enter this: sudo mv *pat /usr/share/gimp/2.0/patterns It will ask for you super password, the one you used to install Linux. It will then move all files with the extension pat to the patterns directly. You can also turn your own images into patterns. Just open them with gimp, and resave them as .pat files. It will ask for a name which will show up when you look for your patterns, making it easy to find them. Hope this is clear enough. :-) Pat Brown http://pabrown.com/ Pushing the envelope on romance Thank you very much.

Good luck :) Actually, I've just tried adding JPEG files to patterns folder, refreshed the list without restarting GIMP and it worked.

Re: [Gimp-user] Background textures
Only problem may be the pattern image size i believe max accepted is around 500x500 The size limit is only for clipboard patterns. You can be as large as you want for file based patterns. -Rob A ___ gimp-user-list mailing list gimp-user-list@gnome.org http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gimp-user-list
