Imposition? You mean like n-up printing? Why would you do that with GIMP?

My impression is that it sounds a bit like "Let's fund anything,
anything via Kickstarter!" :) Please let's not try to treat
crowdfunding as a silver bullet.

The general idea is that the core team already has jobs they like. A
crowdfunding effort is possible for other contributors and, in fact,
there was a semi-successful case with new samplers in GEGL
(http://www.freedomsponsors.org/core/issue/78/add-other-samplers-that-properly-reduce-downsample-and-warp-images).

Again, as Michael stated, this should be discussed on the mailing list
for developers.

Re: [Gimp-user] Viewport rotation

2013-07-07 Thread scl

Hi,

as Liam R E Quin said, this feature already exists in the
GIMP development version. Here you find more information:
https://plus.google.com/116634837115748851709/posts/4jH8KPuACwh

To test the GIMP development version, you can try a
nightly build for Windows. For instance you find it at
http://nightly.darkrefraction.com/gimp/

Kind regards,

Sven

[Gimp-user] Viewport rotation

2013-07-07 Thread B. Jack

I'm wondering when or if GIMP is ever going to get viewport rotation 
(non-modifying like zoom).
All the other major paint programs have this feature and it improves working 
with smaller sized tablets immensely since you can turn the viewport instead of 
the tablet for pen strokes that would otherwise be awkward or ramped (when the 
tablet has limited space like the area around most people's desktop PCs or 
laptops aboard a plane, etc.).  It can make mouse drawing less awkward as well.

Not sure how open is this place for users
(i don't mean how patient are You in case of next flamewar like
save/export. It's rather how open would You be to questions like: what

What about changing/writing plugins for some special purposes? Is it
matter for gimp-developer mailing list, or maybe there is already some
kind of market for such services, or maybe we need such place?

we agree which funcionality should be improved/fixed first?

Maybe it would be easier to accept GIMP as an ecosystem, and focus on
funding plugins for certain jobs? Or maybe there is already some kind
of market where we can specify what such plugin should do and hire
someone to write it?

GIF files are limited to maximum 256 simultaneous colours, which causes the
problem you're seeing - click Image > Mode > RGB to get it back to normal
(note that if you export to GIF, then re-open the GIF file and switch it
back to RGB several times, you'll likely start seeing colour degradation).

[Gimp-user] brush reacts different

2013-07-07 Thread chihwah

Hello,

After creating a gif animation with Gimp 2.8.4. The brush reacts differently 
than default. It reacts like a leaking inkt pen. I tried to reset it, but does
not work. If I create a new empty drawing, the brush reacts as default.
Default is a non sharp like

Hoe can I change the brush behavior to default??
It seems this behavior is tied to my gif now

Re: [Gimp-user] [Gimp user] How to remove the filename suggesting behavior of Saving dialog in Gimp 2.4.7

2013-07-07 Thread Dominik Tabisz
i've encountered similar problem in GIMP 2.6 while saving however i
cannot replicate it.
In my case it was probably something depending on GTK/Xorg.
If You're able to replicate this behavior try to
1) open terminal
2) run GIMP in this terminal
3) Replicate this behaviour
4) Look at the error messages in the terminal.
This error messages might give some information what exactly is failing

You guys retain the rights of the software. but if you don't feel confortable
with that there are in fact other funding proyects that are similar but for
opensource . Smile.

Hello there

I am not a professional at all,so I don't feel the right to say wich features
are must haves. But personally I would like a better UI and improvements for
digital painting :).

I would be happy that the team7community decided which improvents they think
would be the best and more of a priority. I believe GIMP can  be much better
than it already is.

[Gimp-user] GIMP kickstarter?

2013-07-07 Thread FallenLegend
Hello everyone another fan of GIMP here!

As you know gimp is an awesome program made mainly by passionate volunteers  and
it is open source and completely free.

...Unfortunately that also means that it doesn't get the funding other similar 
"bussiness" projects do. For instance Photoshop, corel painter or paint tool sai
to name a few.

While it's great the fact that this proyect is supported by donations and by the
free work of the developers. I assume that they have other comitments to earn a
living.

I think We all could help (via kickstarter) to fund a "big" jump on this program
Mainly buying more manpower and/or whatever resources the developers might need
to get a lot of improvements in a sh0rter amount of time or even pay the
developers to have them in this proyect longer.

Donations as of now tend to be random and aimless. With a kickstater The GIMP
team could easily get 1 million dollars (or maybe even more)  though donations.
If the people know that they are getting a product they love much faster.

What do you think?
