Friend of mine was over on the weekend - I was doing some jpg work..and he asked what software I was using - when I told him it's called the Gimp, he fell over laughing. His comment "what is it about Linux geeks that they pick these weird names" - even when I explained its origin it didn't help - He added "Ask a car maker (like Ford) whether model names (like Edsel) are important". And this stuff like "GNU is not Unix" drives me crazy. -- Cheers Frank -BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE- Version: GnuPG v1.4.2.2 (GNU/Linux) iD8DBQFFh0wC8Rvr3Tn207ARAqjVAJ9lhutrPZYuDmlTO8tVIw/holz9qwCfRIMI R9FldmS2pf1C0zFKucAX/nY= =h/PM -END PGP SIGNATURE- ___ Gimp-user mailing list Gimp-user@lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU https://lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU/mailman/listinfo/gimp-user

[Gimp-user] Multiple gifs into animation
I am definitely a GIMP amateur - my wife wants to to take 3 or 4 gifs...put them together so each displays for about 1 or 2 seconds and repeats forever. If possible a nice fade between them would be nice, but a simple switch to the next GIF would be OK. I think she wants to use them for a sig on some system she posts on. ( She always gives me the simple stuff :)) Any help appreciated Cheers Frank -- Change the world one loan at a time - visit Kiva.org to find out how pgpNK2KykkvuJ.pgp Description: PGP signature ___ Gimp-user mailing list Gimp-user@lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU https://lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU/mailman/listinfo/gimp-user

I don't know what version of GIMP you are running...but GIMP 2.6.6 under Linux (Debian) Squeeze does a similar thing. It locks up Linux so tight I have to do alt-sysrequest and reboot. Check the GIMP help "about" menu to find out what version you have. I have posted this problem on the Debian mailing list but got no advice or answers. Maybe I'll file a bug but it seems no one else is having the problem under Linux anyway. -- Frank McCormick ___ Gimp-user mailing list Gimp-user@lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU https://lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU/mailman/listinfo/gimp-user

I plan to do the same thing...version 2.6.3 runs fine on my machine...2.6.6 give me constant lockups. One of the developers thinks it's a driver issue..in his words "GIMP can't lock up your computer" like it does. It may be a driver issue...but I can't stand getting 2/3 through retouching a photo to find out the machine is locked up. -- Frank McCormick ___ Gimp-user mailing list Gimp-user@lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU https://lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU/mailman/listinfo/gimp-user

[Gimp-user] focus blur
Hello all-- I have a jpg which I would like to blur the background (focus blur I guess) - But I would like the blur to be gradual - when I have done this in the past the line between blurred and unblurred is too sharp.

[Gimp-user] Errors in GIMP 2.6
I dl'ed a tarfile of scripts from gimp-fx factory at sourceforge today...and later noticed a bunch of errors stemming from /usr/lib/gimp/2.0/plugins. This is just a few of them : GIMP-Error: Plug-in "script-fu" (/usr/lib/gimp/2.0/plug-ins/script-fu) attempted to register the menu item "/FX-Foundry/Layer Effects" for procedure "script-fu-layer-effects-color-overlay". The menu label given in gimp_install_procedure() already contained a path. To make this work, pass just the menu's label to gimp_install_procedure(). GIMP-Error: Plug-in "script-fu" (/usr/lib/gimp/2.0/plug-ins/script-fu) attempted to register the menu item "/FX-Foundry/Layer Effects" for procedure "script-fu-layer-effects-gradient-overlay". The menu label given in gimp_install_procedure() already contained a path. To make this work, pass just the menu's label to gimp_install_procedure(). GIMP-Error: Plug-in "script-fu" (/usr/lib/gimp/2.0/plug-ins/script-fu) attempted to register the menu item "/FX-Foundry/Layer Effects/" for procedure "script-fu-layer-effects-drop-shadow". The menu label given in gimp_install_procedure() already contained a path. To make this work, pass just the menu's label to gimp_install_procedure(). Why are the errors stemming from /usr/lib/gimp/2.0 Doesn't seems there are any scripts in there..just some executables and some Python programs.
