[Gimp-user] Testing gimp without messing up my current version
Hi all. some months ago, i installed the 2.8 and this version didn't suit to my need for many reasons. I was a kind of pain to get back to the 2.6 that i use today for several hours a day. For me the 2.8 had many lacks and bad choices of design forced me to get back to the good ol' version. But i'd like to keep in touch with new versions. The point is that i don't want to mess-up my current 2.6 install for a 2.8+ that i might not like. With blender for example, there's the possibility to download a new version that runs in a standalone mode, all in its own folder and don't interract with the currently installed one. This allows user to try and test it, and if he likes it, he can install it over his current version. Is there a way to do this with new versions of gimp ? Thanks for your answers. -- pitibonom (via www.gimpusers.com/forums) ___ gimp-user-list mailing list gimp-user-list@gnome.org https://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gimp-user-list

[Gimp-user] gimp displays rubbish when panning picture.
Hi again all ! Am kinda spamming the forum today as i managed to test G2.8.4 without uninstalling my current 2.6. And therefore, i have some questions, and the first one is about the strange behaviour of the image drawing when panning the picture. Instead of long boring words, lemme post a picture of the picture window after panning the image: The image is brought as attachement... After a short time ( from less than 1 sec to 2-3 sec) this appearance disappears and the image is properly drawn. Does anyone know the reason for this, and wether there's a way to avoid it or not ? for info, am on: win7 on an AMD dual core with 4Gb RAM and a Geforce GT 210 with 512Mb VRAM. drivers are up to date Thanks for your answers.

I have never had this issue or had this issue reported to me, and so attributed it to the version being used by the OP.

I believe this happens to everyone using GIMP 2.8.* on Windows. There is a workaround: instead of spacebar-panning, use Navigation Control at the bottom right of image window, or Navigation Dialog (http://docs.gimp.org/2.8/en/gimp-navigation-dialog.html), or window scrollbars. Neither of those cause this glitch. -- Grue (via www.gimpusers.com/forums) ___ gimp-user-list mailing list gimp-user-list@gnome.org https://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gimp-user-list
[Gimp-user] I have a shaped image (in this case 3D text) with a transparant background. How do I overlay a gritty texture layer on the shaped image only?
Try this: Import your texture image as a layer via drag and drop. Make sure this is the top layer of your image in progress. In the Layers dock, select the layer with orange text, then use the Select By Color tool to select the orange color. In the Layers dock, select the texture layer. Right click on it in the Layers dock, and select Add layer mask. In the dialog that opens, select Initialize Layer Mask To - Selection This will give your texture layer a mask that only allows the selected area - the part over the orange text in this case - to be visible. Change the texture layer's mode to Burn (or other) and adjust its opacity. :o) Steve This is precisely what I wanted! I tried it and it all worked out perfectly!
