I agree with you, Mike. My understanding is that the different compression settings of PNG only effect how rigorously (and time consuming) the compression algorith is; i.e., that all PNG files are losslessly compressed. PNG supports indexed and grayscale color modes which aren't lossless, however by default the PNG is entirely lossless -- LEGENY Jozef ___ Gimp-user mailing list Gimp-user@lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU https://lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU/mailman/listinfo/gimp-user
Re: [Gimp-user] Animation
however there is a problem with GIF images, because even if they suport transparency they don't have an alpha channel (opacity) they only have one 100% transparent color. You can still do the fading effect; however you'll have to work with fixex background color. (I mean if the background of your site is for example white, you make it fade to white in GIMP) Other idea might be using opacity propriety of CSS3 (you decrease the opacity in a loop from 100 and when you reach 0 you'll delete the image and place the text), but not many browsers support this at the time being. Either way, it has little to do with GIMP if you do it this way. -- LEGENY Jozef ___ Gimp-user mailing list Gimp-user@lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU https://lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU/mailman/listinfo/gimp-user

Thanks, Chris well my GIMP opens the psd files fairly well (i'm using developpement version 3.9.11 but it worked also on 3.9.9).

Re: [Gimp-user] PSD or XCF?
It is the PSD format problem. GIMP uses XCF as it's native format and it is the only format which supports ALL gimp's features. You should always save your images as XCF to avoid any data loss (such as text formatting, composition modes and so). If you need to reuse the image in PS afterwards you should save to PSD only after you are not likely to edit the image in GIMP again. If you don't need to use the image in photoshop then there is no point in saving to PSD.

Re: [Gimp-user] Use of Move tool
To move a layer : select it, then select the move tool and shift-click and drag that layer. (shift will always move the selected layer whereas a plain click and drag will move the layer directly under the cursor) you don't need to use the selection tool On 3/16/08, Jogchum Reitsma <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > I feel kinda stupid to have to ask this question, because it seems so > very basic...

Re: [Gimp-user] Use of Move tool
The selection tool can work as you want it to too. You select a region and then commit the selection by pressing the enter key. Then when you shift-alt-click and drag the selection it will copy it's contents and move them around. Control-alt-click and drag will cut the selection and move it (I suppose this is the behaviour you wanded) People had some problems with these control keys under some desktop environnements and some distributions so you'll have to try it.

[Gimp-user] Tablet + Xinerama
Hello I have problems setting up a Wacom tablet on a xinerama dualscreen. The issue is that even if I "lock" the tablet on a single screen with the command "xsetwacom set stylus Screen_No 0" any graphic application (gimp, inkscape and krita for example) still moves the cursor as if it were moving along both screens. I am not the only one with this problem and there is a video displaying this behaviour here : http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=-963158980122070242 Now, i know the problem is rather in the Xinerama than GIMP. However I'd like to know whether there is a way to "lock" gimp only to one screen so it will think there is only one screen. Or if there is a way to force the brush to be always on the cursor position. Note that I don't want to use both screens for gimp. Any other solutions are welcome, thank you in advance -- LEGENY Jozef ___ Gimp-user mailing list Gimp-user@lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU https://lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU/mailman/listinfo/gimp-user
Re: [Gimp-user] 2.6.1 Bug??
Hi This is the intended behaviour In GIMP 2.6 the menu was moved into the image window, and that is why it stays open even if you close all the images.

Re: [Gimp-user] How to drag a simple drawing
Hello To move the selection you have to "accept" it first, this is done by pressing the enter key once your selection is done. After that you have two choices. To move the selection (or more precisely it's contents) hold alt+control and drag the selection. To copy the selection use alt+shift. Note that this is all done with the selection tool, there is no need to change to the move tool.

GIMP works with pixels and thus the DPI is only an information so any program manipulating the image can know its actual dimensions. This is useful for example when printing or rescaling image to a "natural" size. You can always change the DPI of the image without modifying the actual pixels. -- LEGENY Jozef ___ Gimp-user mailing list Gimp-user@lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU https://lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU/mailman/listinfo/gimp-user
