Not one that I know of. But I think you should save your *work* as .xcf anyway. All other image formats are for what you want to do with the images after having them processed with Gimp. If you switch to using .xcf as you primary file format and only export to .png (or whatever) if you are done with your work, you won't lose anything.

I would scan the image at a very high DPI, then convert it into SVG (either with pstoedit, autotrace or by loading into Gimp, doing a selection and save the path-converted selection). The SVG I would then load into a vector drawing program like Inkscape and twist it there. Then back to Gimp. That would probably have better results than warping the scan itself as it wouldn't change the appearance of the letters themselves as warping would. If you don't do the lettering with hand-drawn calligraphy, you can use Gimp's text tool and write along a path in the image (I think that's covered in the manual or one of the tutorials). Last not least, you can use the vectorized calligraphy also to create a calligraphic font of your own to be used in that way (that would be the most elegant, yet also most labour-intensive method, I think).

That should do no harm as Gimp is doing about everything in UTF-8 internally.

Strictly speaking, the values that you are talking about are not ASCII (as that only defines 7 bits originally - the upper 127 characters depend on which locale you are in and might even be text graphics). Notepad also stores its data in an encoding, which however is not UTF-8. > Typing them into a string isn't working. Hmm... have you tried using the ALT- for entering the values ?

That is why ff will also utilize the other cartridges of the printer, not only cyan. You will therefore have to select 100% C from CMYK colourspace in order to only print from the C cartridge - which is a bit awkward in Gimp, since the program has no direct CMYK support. Nevertheless, you can do so with the colour selector (get to the printer colour selection mode for CMYK colours). The colour will be translated to RGB 00...

Well for one I think GIMPs interface is superior to that of > Inkscape. That for me makes all the difference. Exporting SVG from a raster editor is IMHO nonsense. Gimp is an excellent tool for image manipulation and therefore more than 90% of all images that will be handled by Gimp will be fairly complex raster images. Converting those to vector graphics is really a non-trivial task if not nearly impossible. Have a look at autotrace and you will see what I'm talking about. Also, SVGs exported from raster image programs look crappy. On the other hand, importing SVG is trivial and can be quite useful - as well as importing other vector graphic formats. An SVG import is already handled by the Gimp. The only way to "fully support SVG in Gimp" would be to implement SVG graphics internally, so SVG "export" could be just native SVG without raster image conversion. However, in this case, the Gimp image format would need to include special vector layers, the Gimp itself would require SVG editing tools, a method for combining raster and vector layers in a single image, etc. It would be a whole new program inside the already existing program... There's a German term for such a thing: "eierlegende Wollmilchsau" (egg- laying, wool and milk providing pig) - as you might know, there is no such animal...

(a) Do the Windows Plug-ins really come with the locale data ? I have found that quite a number of 3rd-party plug-ins will not ship the locale data on Windows. (b) There is a catch when writing Gimp plug-ins that are going to be run also on Windows systems. The normal (Unix) way of registering the paths does not work (i.e. most plug-in writers rely on the Unix path layout which means that the paths are hardcoded into the plug-in). That way, the location of the data files is defined at compile-time and will only work in the environment of the creator of the installation package. Instead, the functions from gimpenv should be used to properly locate the data file directories on Windows. If (a) is the case, then copying the locale data from another installationcould help - else, if (b), then it is a bug in the 3rd-party plug- in which should be fixed by the upstream maintainer.

This is still true, but should be fixed within the next releases. You might have read something about GEGL already on the list - this is the underlying library that is being developed for this purpose. That said, unless you have an extremely expensive printer (i.e. one that also is capable of color management and handling wide color channels - which most color printers you get to buy at the normal hardware stores don't), 8-bit channel width is enough to manipulate photographic images in most cases. Also, no serious photographer will just abandon analog photography and go totally digital. Any fine grained film will yield much better resolutions than what the most expensive digital cameras are capable of. (Try applying a digital photography to the outside wall of a building, and you'll see what I mean - it is no problem with an analog image... and again, analog films can be digitized with a good film scanner to a much higher resolution as what you get from a digital camera).

Or you use your favourite file manager and move the file into the script directory of the gimp installation or the script directory that already is in your home directory.

Most PDF exporters have some options (mostly hidden away deeply inside some obscure menus). Example: When you export to PDF from OO.org, you can do either directly or via the menu entry in the File menu. The difference being that the direct conversion does not pop up an option window while the menu one does. This option window enables the user, amongst other things, to specify how images are to be embedded in the PDF. Mostly, with some converters, this defaults to low-quality "PDF-for-WWW-download" (something like 72dpi for the images). CutePDF on Windows can be controlled, too (right-click, properties, common, printer settings, paper/quality, extended options lets you set the dpi for embedding graphics - default should be 600dpi which is good for photo, but may be much too low for graphically rendered text). Second to dpi would be the compression method used by the PDF, which often defaults to JPEG. In Scribus and OO.org this can be adjusted in the PDF exporter as well. So my advice would be to look for those options that control the output quality of embedded pictures in order to get a better result. > PS - Scribus also produces quality PDFs, but may not be usable on > Windows (or it wasn't the last time I checked, but that was quite some > time ago).

Please help! > You might want to have a look at the "Gimp User Manual" (available as PDF or HTML from http://docs.gimp.org/) or at the mature but still good to read "Grokking the Gimp" (http://gimp-savvy.com/BOOK/index.html - it was written for a much older version of the program, but the main difference is in the looks of the user interface, not the functionality, so it is still of good use when it comes to understanding what one is doing). hth Torsten signature.asc Description: OpenPGP digital signature ___ Gimp-user mailing list Gimp-user@lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU https://lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU/mailman/listinfo/gimp-user
