[Gimp-user] Funding new features in gimp - what features would you choose?
Hi Anna, I always find issues with the orientation of the tool options which currently occupies too much space regardless where you dock it, simply because of its vertical orientation. I wish we could have an option for the tool options bar to appear right above the tool box across the screen, like in many graphics applications. Similarly, about the gradient tool, see this: http://www.gimpusers.com/forums/gimp-user/16168-vertical-orientation-for-gradient-editor-toolbox#message75631 -- josephbupe (via www.gimpusers.com/forums) ___ gimp-user-list mailing list List address:gimp-user-list@gnome.org List membership: https://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gimp-user-list
[Gimp-user] Funding new features in gimp - what features would you choose?
Hello Anna! I do believe many people would benefit from this feature. For example many painters use photoshop's for this very reason . In fact many industry professionals use it as a time saver http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6VX-wujJbbk. As you can see it makes the process of shading much more simple. Also I would like to point out that this feature is probably the main reason people think sketchbook pro is a very versatile program http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_detailpage&v=R_hgWfjNsPg#t=141 In that video the artist is complementing how easy is to change brush size. So yeah I think this would be great for a lot of painters :) Thank you for your interest :D -- FallenLegend (via www.gimpusers.com/forums) ___ gimp-user-list mailing list List address:gimp-user-list@gnome.org List membership: https://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gimp-user-list
[Gimp-user] Plugins, Python - Pretty New to Gimp ....

[Gimp-user] Vertical orientation for Gradient Editor toolbox
So I have a problem with using the Gradient Editor Trying to come up with a useful way organize my toolboxes on the UI, I settled on putting the Gradient Editor on the right half of the window, occupying the entire column. I may rearrange things later, but for now it works . . . except for one thing: The extremely tall aspect ratio in this configuration is a huge waste of visual real estate, since the Gradient Editor displays the gradient in a horizontal (left-to-right) manner. Idea: Create an option to have the Gradient Editor flip its display vertically (see attachment). That would put a tall aspect ratio to much better use. :) -- Stratadrake strata_ran...@hotmail.com Numbers may not lie, but neither do they tell the whole truth. ___ gimp-user-list mailing list List address:gimp-user-list@gnome.org List membership: https://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gimp-user-list

[Gimp-user] Gimp interface sucks
There I said it. It's the main reason GIMP is not as succesful as it could be. Sure GIMP is very powerful One example of people not liking the UI is this article http://lifehacker.com/most-popular-photoshop-alternative-gimp-1484836993 The very existance of Gimpshop pro was a testament that people don't feel akward working with gimp and it can be a nighmare to dos something as simple as changing the brush size...Whwn with other programs you just haver to drag a mouse/sylus... I am sure many open source fans will disagree with me so I will reply with any article that complains about the user interface whenever I find one... to counter argue. -- FallenLegend (via www.gimpusers.com/forums) ___ gimp-user-list mailing list List address:gimp-user-list@gnome.org List membership: https://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gimp-user-list

The abillity to resize the brush just by dragging the mouse/stylus by pressing a button. That's it is all I ask as a painter the lack of this feauture is the reason painting on gimp is super frustating. >Hey, I am a gimp user and am working for a few days with this new >crowd >funding platform where new features for Free and Open Source Software >can be funded one by one. > >The first Gimp feature is ready to fund: it is a cool symmetry >painting >tool, it would make a great addition to the software. > >You can donate anything from €1 up here: >http://funding.openinitiative.com/funding/1578/ - also, you would get >to >test the feature and feedback before your donation goes through :) > >I hope to get some more features up there soon: which features would >you >donate too if you could?

Joseph, GIMP has been able to do exactly that since dawn of times.
