Re: [newbie] gimp plugins and gimptool

2004-12-27 Thread Bill Winegarden
Hi All,
I found the built in bumpmap function of Gimp but I'm still wondering about 
the gimptool application. Is it included in the 2.0 version?

tia,
Bill W.

 Hi,
 I have been experimenting with gimp (2.0) and I want to install the bump
 map plugin. It is a file simply titled bumpmap.c
 From my reading, there should be a utility called gimptool that compiles
 and installs it automatically. My LM 10.1 Official installation doesn't
 seem to have any file with that name.
 Is there something I'm missing on this? Has anyone installed this
 particular plugin?
 I have subbed to the Gimp list but it isn't as active as this one.

 Thanks and regards,
 Bill W.

Bill, 
You need the devel rpm 
# urpmq -l libgimp2.0-devel |grep gimptool
/usr/bin/gimptool-2.0
/usr/share/man/man1/gimptool-2.0.1.bz2

p.s. 
I have installed the version from Charles site
http://www.eslrahc.com/ which he has so very nicely provided
is gimp2_2-2.2-0.pre2.1.1010.1mdk.cae 
and it has the bumpmap plugin already installed ..

I too have them together.
I have only one prob to date: Might be me not configuring enough though.
For those that have yet to give this a work out, try using your scanner 
from each of them to acquire something and let us know the result.

Hi all,
With the new install of mdk 10.0 I came Gimp 1.2. Is it possible to

If not, what would be the best way to install 2.0? Is there already a

FWIW, I ended up (by accident, when 2.0 was in preview state, or
whatever it was called) with both 1.2 and 2.0 installed, and they've
been coexisting nicely so far.  I've not really heavily used either
of them, but have encountered no problems.

I'm actually keeping both 1.2 and 2.0 and haven't encountered any problems 
yet, though I had compiled 2.0 from the source.
I believe you can uninstall 1.2 (using urpme) and then install 2.0.
Mandrake packages for 2.0.2 version can be found on http://rpm.pbone.net
You should search for gimp and libgimp (these are essential) and gimpprint and 
libgimpprint as well...

Now I have noticed that gimp 2.0.2 packages can be found also on Charles' page 
(www.eslrahc.com). Good look...

I wasn't sure what is meant by gfx tablet but I've been using a Wacom tablet 
for quite a while now (since Mandrake7.2). As of Mandrake8.2 they got 
autoconfigured at install time, and that includes Mdk10.0-beta1 I discovered 
today;)

I can only recommend (a serial) Wacom, they're expensive but worth every cent 
if you're planning to make more use of it than just a mouse substitute. The 
smaller, cheaper especially USB tablets are trouble prone with linux (this 
includes the AIPTEKS) and actually coarser to handle than a trackball for 
instance.

Of course the cheap ones will do fine as a mouse substitute, that's only click 
and point, heh:)

Good luck,

  When I was looking at getting a wacom tablet I came across this:

 I wasn't sure what is meant by gfx tablet but I've been using a
 Wacom tablet for quite a while now (since Mandrake7.2). As of
 Mandrake8.2 they got autoconfigured at install time, and that
 includes Mdk10.0-beta1 I discovered today;)

 I can only recommend (a serial) Wacom, they're expensive but worth
 every cent if you're planning to make more use of it than just a
 mouse substitute. The smaller, cheaper especially USB tablets are
 trouble prone with linux (this includes the AIPTEKS) and actually
 coarser to handle than a trackball for instance.

 Of course the cheap ones will do fine as a mouse substitute, that's
 only click and point, heh:)

I understand that Genius tablets are supported - midway between Aiptek 
and Wacom in price, I think

What options are you passing to 'rpm'? I will try --target=athlon but I
don't want to be in the same boat as I was with the athlon gimp rpms.
Maybe I will just build for i586. But my cpu can do mmx/sse.

Yep. I just did 'rpm --rebuild --target=athlon', built and installed the
binaries, and lo!, the thing actually started up. It is nice (!). It
seems to be a good improvement -- especially cosmetically, over the
previous version. I particularly like the menu options being available
right on the picture window itself, so as not to have to go flip around
a number of windows to use the thing. My mostly-cooker install wanted to
get a number of devel packaging stuff that wasn't there, surprisingly.
But ./configure from the source tarball worked -- maybe it was not
checking things thoroughly enough, given that I had a broken compile.

I'm a real newbie when it comes to photo stuff, however.

Rather than trying to build from the source why don't you dl the src.rpm
from my site and rebuild it.
That will ensure that you have the proper build environment.

I also pulled down the relevant athlon rpms, from ftp.ibiblio.org. First
time I looked, it was buried and I didn't spot it. All better now :).
But, when I try to invoke these, I still get a sigill. And I am not sure
my Athlon is really an Athlon, or maybe the Thunderbird lacks some
instructions that have a XP core in them. (Mine's a 1000 mhz part.)

Specifically, it got part of the way running some test things and then
crashed. I recreated the session in gdp and did a dissassemble and came
up with this:

Try as a last resort  as root urpme gimp (remove it )
 then urpmi gimp (reinstalls it)

Marco Verheul disseminated the following:

  Athlon RPM's:
  
  ftp://ftp.ibiblio.org/pub/linux/distributions/weblinux/mandrake/9.2/RPM/athlon
  
  Remove the old Gimp first, as Aron suggested.
 
 I didn't follow the whole thread about Gimp 2.0, but can it be installed
 on mdk 9.1 as well or will it become a dependency nightmare? Your
 reactions here on the new Gimp are very promising!!

Well, as you can see from the FTP path, they are built against 9.2, so you would
*very likely* run into dependency probs, esp. more up to date libs.

'Course, you could always do a 'urpmi --auto-select' first, and upgrade your
distro to *almost* the level of 9.2. 

Your best bet is to do as above (upgrade to all the latest libs, esp devel
libs), then build from source.

Might be a bit of a pain, but I'm more than willing to help you track down all
the bits and bobs.

Warning: 'urpmi --auto-select' can take a lng time, as what it does is
update almost every package on your system.

 Run make as regular user.
 Run checkinstall as root. No need for arguments, you'll be prompted for
 info through the build process. 
 
 It's a good idea to use checkinstall to easily remove packages, and of
 course to share them with your friends!
 
 Please put up a link to a screen cap of the new UI, I've never seen it!

OK, I've installed it and it is up and running.
Although it is the development version, it seems very stable. The new UI
is very pretty and there are many new functions.

Run make as regular user.
Run checkinstall as root. No need for arguments, you'll be prompted for
info through the build process. 

It's a good idea to use checkinstall to easily remove packages, and of

Hmm... thanks, Josenildo. Funny thing is, that my printer (HP 3820) 
is listed OK in the printer-field, but not in the field for output. 
When I tried your advice, I picked another HP printer, printed OK 
but in a very grainy mode, far from what I'm used to.

Now, to print some photos for my X-mas cards I have to use Open 
Office, import the photos there, and then print. Works fine. But 
there must be some bug in GIMP ?

If you are talking about Cooker contrib, it may not be stable on your 9.1,

I tried to work with GIMP-1.3.8, but after dealing with it's lack of
speed and it's apparent umbilical cord to Gnome2 and GCONF - AND it's
inability to perform simple functions as did the GIMP 1.2+ series, I
went back to 1.2.3 instead...doesn't really seem finished, though...

Re: [newbie] Gimp

2002-12-08 Thread Ralph Slooten
John, it's actually quite simple to reduce red eys with gimp. Took me a
while to work it out too... but eventually I found a page explaining how
to do it.

Firstly, open the photo in Gimp.

Make sure you have the Layers screen open. On the Layers screen, you
will see Channels tab. Click that tab, and you will see 3 highlighted
things (Red, Green and Blue). Click both the Green and Blue over the
picture (not on the eye_looking_icon on the left), so that only the Red
is selected.

Great, now go to your picture with the red-eyes (probably from a
hangover hehehe) and with the airbrush and the colour black, spray over
the red eyes. There, now you don't have to use shareware to fix
hangovers!

Oh, and for future reference, ask people to close their eyes when you
take a pic... it'll save you a lot of work :-)

To use Compupic to remove red eye:

1. Open the file containing the red eye in the Image Viewer.
2. Activate the red eye reduction tool by selecting Reduce Red-eye   
  from the Image menu. 
3. Click on the red eye. The red eye will immediately be reduced.
4. Continue to click on the areas containing red eye until the level of
reduction you desire is reached.
5. To make more precise changes, hold down Ctrl while clicking on the
red eye.
6. Once you have removed the red eye, you are ready to save your
changes.

Note: You may need to click different parts of the red eye to remove
all the redness.

Have you tried to isolate the color and then select color range and
then replace color ?

 


 

Well I don't know if it's the correct way but I did it like this,

Put up gimp main window,
put up Brush selections

Put up picture to be worked upon,
Zoom in until the eyesight area is large and easy to work upon

Double click forground colour selection from main window

choose a colour

click on Paint fuzzy brush strokes from main window

click on dot size from brush stroke selection window



proceed to click on area around eye , taking care to grade
colour selection and then add pupil to eye colour,when
finished , save and exit.


definately an improvement when finished.

 I bet everyone would love to hear how you got the scanner to work, and
  maybe someone in the future will read the archives and be able to get
  their scanner working too... so... how did you do it?

 First of all my Gimp opens just fine now. It seemed to resolve itself.
 Thank you all for your help.

 To get my HP 4300c to work:

 I got the testtool which contains the patch script for the sane-backend
 from http://sourceforge.net/projects/hp3300backend/. On this page you
 can find the forum which provided most of the help for me.

 Here is my account of how I got my HP 4300c usb scanner to work.  To
 patch SANE do the following:

 1) Download and unpack the testtool and sane-backends source packages
 2) Copy to usr/local/src
 2) install libusb:
 http://prdownloads.sourceforge.net/libusb/libusb-0.1.5.tar.gz
  usb.h comes from libusb0.1.5, make sure you uninstalled libusb0.1.4
 with no deps. Then do any make uninstall of libusb0.15, and the
 ./configure , make, su to root and make install.
  YOU WILL need to run ./configure | make | make install again on
 sane-backends-1.0.8 AFTER reinstalling libusb-0.1.5 !
 3) Unpacking the testtool package is done by:
 tar -xzvf testtool-20020816_1.tar.gz
 which creates a directory 'testtool' with some files in it, including
 the readme. Run make in the testtool directory.
 4) Go to the testtool directory and patch sane-backends:
 ./patch-sane.sh ~/sane-backend-1.0.8
  the patch script should be run with the path to the sane-backends
 sources as an argument.
 In my case it was:
 ./patch-sane.sh /usr/local/src/sane-backends-1.0.8
 (substitute the proper sane-backend directory)
 5) Go to the sane-backend directory and build sane-backends:
 ./configure
 make
 make install

 It is  suggested to first try the testtool before trying to make SANE work.

 In addition to the directions above,  I  copied some of the niash
 specific binaries to a directory belonging to an already installed sane
 rpm. Then I added niash to the dll.conf file and ran ldconfig. This way
 I did not have to uninstall the sane that was already setup.

 Here are the steps for this below:

 1) copied backend/.libs/libsane-niash.so.1.0.8 to /usr/lib/sane
 2) made some symlinks in /usr/lib/sane named libsane-niash.so.1 and
 libsane-niash.so pointing to the file just copied.
 3) added niash to /etc/sane.d/dll.conf
 4) ran ldconfig
 5) changed /dev/usbscanner in niash.conf to /dev/usb/scanner0- if
 your device is a different name then you would use that name instead of
 /dev/usb/scanner0.

 I hope this is complete. There is alot of help from sourceforge and
 other instructions if you want to install another method. The author of
 testtool promptly answered my questions in the forum. This testtool also
 works for HP 3300c, HP 3400c, and the Agfa Touch. The one problem I am
 still having is my image is stretched which the author told me is
 supposed to be fixed so I am waiting for an answer about this right now.
 If anyone gets their HP scanner running and does not have a stretched
 image please let me know. Otherwise I am very pleased to have it working
 so well.

 Sincerely,

 Marcia

pleased about this since I had to apply the niash patch to the
sane-backend as well as do some configuration to get my unsupported
HP4300c scanjet (USB) working. Does anyone know how I can get the gimp
to work again?

Thanks for the help.

Marcia

I bet everyone would love to hear how you got the scanner to work, and maybe 
someone in the future will read the archives and be able to get their scanner 
working too... so... how did you do it?


First of all my Gimp opens just fine now. It seemed to resolve itself. 
Thank you all for your help.

To get my HP 4300c to work:

I got the testtool which contains the patch script for the sane-backend 
from http://sourceforge.net/projects/hp3300backend/. On this page you 
can find the forum which provided most of the help for me.

Here is my account of how I got my HP 4300c usb scanner to work.  To 
patch SANE do the following:

1) Download and unpack the testtool and sane-backends source packages
2) Copy to usr/local/src
2) install libusb: 
http://prdownloads.sourceforge.net/libusb/libusb-0.1.5.tar.gz
 usb.h comes from libusb0.1.5, make sure you uninstalled libusb0.1.4 
with no deps. Then do any make uninstall of libusb0.15, and the 
./configure , make, su to root and make install.
 YOU WILL need to run ./configure | make | make install again on 
sane-backends-1.0.8 AFTER reinstalling libusb-0.1.5 !
3) Unpacking the testtool package is done by:
tar -xzvf testtool-20020816_1.tar.gz
which creates a directory 'testtool' with some files in it, including 
the readme. Run make in the testtool directory.
4) Go to the testtool directory and patch sane-backends:
./patch-sane.sh ~/sane-backend-1.0.8
 the patch script should be run with the path to the sane-backends 
sources as an argument.
In my case it was:
./patch-sane.sh /usr/local/src/sane-backends-1.0.8
(substitute the proper sane-backend directory)
5) Go to the sane-backend directory and build sane-backends:
./configure
make
make install
 
It is  suggested to first try the testtool before trying to make SANE work.

In addition to the directions above,  I  copied some of the niash 
specific binaries to a directory belonging to an already installed sane 
rpm. Then I added niash to the dll.conf file and ran ldconfig. This way 
I did not have to uninstall the sane that was already setup.

Here are the steps for this below:

1) copied backend/.libs/libsane-niash.so.1.0.8 to /usr/lib/sane
2) made some symlinks in /usr/lib/sane named libsane-niash.so.1 and 
libsane-niash.so pointing to the file just copied.
3) added niash to /etc/sane.d/dll.conf
4) ran ldconfig
5) changed /dev/usbscanner in niash.conf to /dev/usb/scanner0- if 
your device is a different name then you would use that name instead of 
/dev/usb/scanner0.

I hope this is complete. There is alot of help from sourceforge and 
other instructions if you want to install another method. The author of 
testtool promptly answered my questions in the forum. This testtool also 
works for HP 3300c, HP 3400c, and the Agfa Touch. The one problem I am 
still having is my image is stretched which the author told me is 
supposed to be fixed so I am waiting for an answer about this right now. 
If anyone gets their HP scanner running and does not have a stretched 
image please let me know. Otherwise I am very pleased to have it working 
so well.

Sincerely,

Marcia

 My new scanner, Epson Perfection 1650, works beautifully under Mandrake

 To run the scanner under gimp, however a symbolic link has to be made.

Exactly where it says ~/.gimp-1.2/plug-ins

~  means your home directory.  When you start gimp for the first time it will 
create ~/.gimp-1.2

A Tip for you : If you want to find files the quickest way is to use the 
command line utility 'slocate'  It is on the slocate RPM 
slocate will run a background job daily to maintain a database of where every 
file resides on your computer. 

Also with your scanner doesn't it work with xsane or kooka? They will give you 
all sorts of file formats. 
Scannerdrake from Mandrake Control Centre lists your scanner as supported by 
xsane  It should be able to configure it without downloading any driver. 
There is also an xsane plugin for gimp which will allow you to scan from 
inside gimp.

The Epson Perfection 1650 scanner works fine for

I would recommend that this is probably the best
way for you to go. 

I can let you have the specific configuration
details if you need them. 
But pretty much all I did to set up my scanner was
install the sane-backends and libraries rpms and
the xsane-gimp rpm.

Then if you have a look at:

to check your scanner is set up correctly, you
should be pretty much there.

Since I hadn't got my old scanner set up I had never run Gimp under this

I'm still exploring the options.  xsane appears to run with Gimp, and I 
can scan and save with that (once I remembered that someone said 
right-click for everything in Gimp).  Kooka looks interesting, with lots 
of options like scan to OCR.  I could get the preview but then couldn't 
find how to get the scan proper.

It also seems to point at a hidden directory for image file saves.  This 
isn't exactly intuitive.

I'm pleased with progress so far, but feel that I'm missing important bits.

If you use xscanimage you will find your scanner under 'Xtns - Acquire

However if you use xsane and you create a symbolic link to xsane, which
you will find in /usr/local/bin, you will find your scanner under 'File -

You have to use the latest version of xsane (xsane 0.69), because in earlier

In order to use it as a gimp plug in you have to create a symbolic link
to the program and your gimp plug-in directory as follows:

ln -s /usr/bin/xscanimge /home/your_name/.gimp-1.1/plug-ins

The directory .gimp-1.1 is a hidden directory and therefore the leading . is 
important. The name may vary a little and depends of the version of the gimp 
you use.

Personally I prefer a program called xsane.

 In order to use it as a gimp plug in you have to create a symbolic link
 to the program and your gimp plug-in directory as follows:
 
 ln -s /usr/bin/xscanimge /home/your_name/.gimp-1.1/plug-ins
 
 The directory .gimp-1.1 is a hidden directory and therefore the leading . is
 important. The name may vary a little and depends of the version of the gimp
 you use.
 
 Personally I prefer a program called xsane.
 You can find it in the development directory at the mandrake ftp mirrors,
 e.g. ftp.ciril.fr/pub/linux/mandrake-devel/contrib/RPMS

If you do the above and select the File drop down you will only see
'Acquire - Screen Shot' but if you pick 'Xtns - Acquire Image' you
should be able to pick the device your scanner is attached to.

Don't know if there is a way of changing the behavior of Acquire so that
you can pick a scanner.  Maybe it is a bug in what I have running here.

that is odd...  i use GIMP darn near daily, and it certainly will save files.  both 
save  save as are on my menu.
if you right click on an image, then go to the file section, you should see save  
save as.
if you don't.
hmmm.  could you have a "bad" or "corrupt" install?

Hit the right mouse button when you are over an image. You'll see a huge list 
come up, which includes your save commands.

Right click on the file you want to save...the option is on the menu that
will pop up when you do so.

RE: [newbie] Gimp 1.1.24 v Photo shop

2000-09-06 Thread Abe

photoshop has a pretty steep learning curve.  Granted I haven't seen/used the 
version of the gimp that you refer to (I've been using 1.0.4).  The details of 
how the programs work are very different.  You can definately pick up 
photoshop but I don't know how helpful knowledge of the Gimp will actually be.

Be careful!  Photoshop is an incredible program.  Your gonna want a copy and 
then you'll have to have windows or MacOS (u) to run it on.

That wasn't very helpful was it.

Hi all,

Just got the latest version of the Gimp.  WOW!!!

As I do a bit of Web design the web functions are really good, especially 
image
map function etc.

However my main reason for e-mailing the group is this.  How does this new 
gimp
compare with the Abode Photo Shop from which I believe it was based (the
interfaces appear almost identical).  Could a user of Gimp find Photo Shop 
easy
to learn and use.  I ask this as I have been asked by an employment agency to
go for an interview with a web design company later this week or early next
and they have asked that I can use Photoshop.

Obviously I will tell them I use Linuxso no but..etc.

Re: [newbie] Gimp v Paint Shop Pro

2000-02-12 Thread John Catral



 Could anyone tell me if Gimp is an equal to Paint Shop Pro or Photo Shop
 for Windows.

I have used GIMP just for fun and I love it!  Friends of mine who use it to
create graphics and edit pictures for web design all say that GIMP is
actually better than Photoshop and Paint Shop Pro.  If you know a little
about programming GIMP is great coz you can add stuff immediately rather
than wait for Photoshop to release filters and available add-ons.  Most of
my friends find this freedom very happy and productive. =)  There must be
even a mailing list for web designers and graphic artists who use Linux for
their creative needs. =)

I found that GIMP will not start if your color depth is 8 bits. When I 
reconfigured X-Windows to 16 bit color depth GIMP works fine.
