[Gimp-user] Tilable Plasma?

2009-04-25 Thread Chris
I'm not sure what the "corner effect" you referred to is, but the seamless option seems to work fine. Although when I experimented with a textual image, it scattered the text all over the image with different opacities - weird. Your second option seems too complex for a newbie like me, and I'm no

Gimp doesn't use PCD format. So I have been trying to convert a PCD image to something Gimp will use, such as tiff or jpg, using the convert program from Imagemagick. I have tried various density settings. Is there a default density to a PCD image? If so, what is it? -- John Culleton Able I

Thanks Elwin and Olivier; that was it. The meaning must have been reversed in translation from German to English. Olivier, I'm pretty sure the menus have been moved around... I think the only case documented online (in a blog comment) regarded the Filters menu. David, I don't know that option,
