[Gimp-user] tile-cache leak?

I'm using Gimp (2.2.3) and Perl Gimp to render/paint images automatically on my website (with gimp running on a Xvfb display without an interface). That works pretty well, but i notice that Gimp's memory footprint grows in line with the number of images i did create. Images are properly

[Gimp-user] drawing in the alpha channel?

Hi folks, I wonder how I can put things in the alpha channel... I want to take an image (eg. screenshot) and paint partial transparency into the resulting image. I found out that I can do Layer - Add Mask, then paint (eg using gradients, with multiply ) and then do Layer - Apply Mask which gives

Re: [Gimp-user] drawing in the alpha channel?

I found out that I can do Layer - Add Mask, then paint (eg using gradients, with multiply ) and then do Layer - Apply Mask which gives me the desired /visual/ result, but I would like to apply the mask to the /alpha/ channel and not to the /r/g/b/ channels. How would I do this? where the

Re: [Gimp-user] Re: GimpShop

Then, it is true that the developers do not find this interface skinning desirable (it breaks documentation badly). The xml menus were first considered as a developer-only feature to simplify their work. Some people found it a new application, which is fine too. About breaking documentation,

Ok, first off, thanks to all who have answered so far. The situation at present: I have compiled and installed gimp 2.2.4 without print option, then ran ldconfig because the readme said so, then compiled and installed gutenprint 5.0 beta 3 with gimp, cups, foomatic, and ghostscript. All without
