(cups stands for common unix printing system). I use Linux too (Gentoo) and for printing cups + gutenprint. I'm sure Suse has gutenprint-gimp in it's repository. You'll have to configure it yourself.

I checked but there's simply no babl-0.1.11 available. After you've compiled something in Linux it will install a *.pc file in /usr/lib/pkgconfig. In the case of babl it would be babl.pc. It's a text file and contains ao the version number in this case "version: 0.1.10. Without the right babl version forget about compiling gimp-2.10. I'd be interested myself to do this but no babl with version 0.1.11 no go.

Did some googling and found this: http://askubuntu.com/questions/53442/how-can-i-configure-the-aiptek-t-6000u-graphics-tablet I have a similar file for my wacom tablet in /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d.

In the Gentoo repository there is "xf86-input-aiptek" available. The wacomtablet program explicitly supports your tablet. Before I installed wacomtablet I used bash scripts to change things on my wacom tablet. CLI will only work when xf86-input-whatever is installed. You can then issue "xsetaiptek list devices" I think.

This has gone from 2.7.x! The only way you can paint with gradient is by choosing Random Color from the Dynamics dropdown menu. But the result is bad!!! No smooth stroke no pressure. Another way in which the brush uses gradient colors is "Confetti". Again no pressure sensitivity and unpredictable result.

[Gimp-user] Need help repairing image
>The GNU Image Manipulation Program will only be able to repair its >image by changing its name. @ Daniel, You may be right about plastics but there's something far more important to degradation of analog slides or negatives. The colors are "made" during the development and consist of UNSTABLE chemical compounds.Depending on how it's stored and the atmosphere these chemicals might change color. Furthermore the layers which contain the info are gelatin. This slide doesn't show it but this gelatin layer is often eaten by bacteria. In the past there were a few manufacturers which used organic colors,if I'm not mistaken Perutz was one of them.Their slides/negatives were stable. Now for repair I think you could use "Select by color",cut and then use the "Heal tool" to replace the cut part by surrounding colors. Another way would be to use the "Free select" tool to cut the green parts by hand and then use the "Heal tool". If you use the Free select tool don't cut everything at once,do it in small pieces. I would use Free select. Good luck. Gerard. -- gerard82 (via gimpusers.com) ___ gimp-user-list mailing list gimp-user-list@gnome.org http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gimp-user-list
