<0> I have a picture of a copier which is grey plastic....is there a filter I can use to make it look as if it's made of black plastic?
<0> some sort of colorify that doesn't make a solid color....
<1> hello
<2> how can i make fancy fonts using gimp (for web pages)?
<3> JohnnyL: The GIMP is not a font creator.
<3> You can do some fancy effects on fonts already in your system such as Xtns -> Logos, though.
<2> what's Xtns->Logos?
<4> has anyone tried to use the pfscalibration package to create HDR images?
<5> hello. for any devs here, great program, but i need some help. I'm looking to possible move to GIMP from photoshop
<5> two questions: Blending Options in photoshop contains layer options such as glow, stroke, gradient overlay, etc. I have always used these non-volotile functions extensively, and am wondering if they are avlailable (in anyname) in the CIMP?
<5> secondly, what kind of Wacom tablet stuff is available? I'm looking to use that too, taking advantage of sensitivity and special keys
<5> hey Semhirage.
<6> lol
<6> i know it supports tilt and pressure for sure
<6> at least it does with mine
<5> for what aspects of the program, though?
<5> i've got a Graphire3
<6> same here
<5> ;P
<5> Semhirage, i'll resend my previous question, for you to see

<4> wow... i can't believe that there's a single decent, standalone exif editor for linux
<5> pattern, what might that be?
<4> what might what be?
<5> <4> wow... i can't believe that there's a single decent, standalone exif editor for linux
<4> oops
<4> let me try that again
<4> wow... i can't believe that there ISN'T a single decent, standalone exif editor for linux
<5> ah...
<5> hehe
<4> sorry :)
<5> hey
<5> you good with gimp, pattern?
<4> not really
<5> =/
<4> sorry, but i'm just a novice
<5> it's okay
<4> what's your question?
<5> well, i'm considering switching from photoshop to GIMP
<5> err, someone just answered it in another channel...
<4> great :)
<5> =(
<5> <Nande> glow/bevel/stroke...
<5> <Nande> not present in the gimp
<4> there might be ways to achieve the same effects
<4> i'm sure you can make bevels in gimp
<4> and i don't know what "glow" or "stroke" does in photoshop... but, again, the same effect might be possible in gimp... just using a different technique
<5> well, theoretically i'm sure it's all possible
<7> its easy..
<7> uhmm..
<5> glow is just a glow outside the borders of a layer
<7> but i don't know how to do it automatically.
<5> either semi-transparent borders or opaque
<5> stroke is outline
<7> glows easy to do you just take a selection you want to glow and then colour it the colour you want the glow to be and then blur it however big you want the glow to be and then take your original selection again and cut it and you will have a glow layer.
<5> are there any non-volitile functions that i can perform in the GIMP, or are they all permanent?
<4> there're probably scripts or filters that can do it
<7> make a layer of your selection, blur it, cut out your original selection, you have a glow layer.
<5> pattern, only thing is, then i have tons of layers more than i would in PS...it gets thick. you know? And if i make it permanent, then i hav ea very non-removable glow should I change my mind
<4> hesperaux, non-volitile? are you asking if gimp has an undo function?
<5> i know it can Undo...
<7> sure i know wut u mean.
<8> anyone know how one makes a selected area transparent?
<7> i like photoshops layer effects also i find them lacking in gimp.
<5> but that's not good if i reopen the file next month and say " I don't like that glow there anymore"
<7> hesperaux, well that's why you have a seperate glow layer
<4> can't you just delete that layer or make it invisible?
<7> use many layers.
<5> dsquare, would the gimp devels consider doing that kind of thing? Wouldn't it be somewhat of an easy task?
<5> dsquare, well...i use too many layers already ;P
<5> can layers be grouped?
<7> hesperaux, i couldn't say i think eventually they will add something like that.
<7> not sure let me lok
<5> mkay
<7> well linked but not put in folders
<5> if not, i'd like to have a conversation with the devs about it. it would really change my mind about the gimp. i am okay getting used to a new interface if it can do what photoshop can. as far as i can see, that's all that GIMP is lacking. GIMP has much more powerful features than PS in many respects
<5> no folders? =|
<5> that's bad too
<7> yah layer effects are sorely lacking. i find the layers dialogue fluid tho and i noticed there are some nice options for thumbnail sizes.
<5> hmm...
<5> everything is a tradeoff *sigh*
<4> vorpal_, this is probably not the easiest or most efficient way, but you could select the area you want to make transparent, cut it, and paste it in a new transparent layer... then change that layer's opacity to make the area you selected transparent
<5> pattern, tha's how you'd do it even in photoshop *shrug*
<5> oh...does GIMP have a spherize filter? need that ;p
<7> hmm there is one but i forget where
<4> hesperaux, try the "Lens Distortion" or "Polar Coordinates" filters
<4> there're probably others that you can download somewhere
<5> okay
<7> for awesome layer effects in gimp check out 'alpha to logo' under script-fu
<5> i was just looking through the plugin registry, too
<7> run those alpha-to-logo filters on a selection, they are some awesome layer effects.
<5> okay. and another thing, define simply what "python-fu" and "script-fu" are? Are they basically recorded actions like photoshop?
<5> dsquare, will check that out
<7> yah something like that i think
<4> they're not just recorded actions
<4> python is a full-featured programming language, so it can do pretty much any other programming language can... and there's an interface to gimp, so it can use gimp to do stuff
<5> hmm. i see.
<4> it's like a plugin
<5> but a script, not a binary
<4> a plugin plus recorded actions
<4> yes, a script
<5> so they wrote a binding library for python, basically?
<4> but python can use binaries as well, if you want it to
<5> and python-fu is a shortcut menu to written scripts?
<4> yep
<5> okay
<4> except there's an interface to gimp
<8> pattern: thanks i'll try that
<4> so it's not just shortcuts
<5> cool =)
<4> the python script can manipulate gimp images, variables, or whatever else gimp can do
<4> i don't know python myself, and have never written a gimp script myself... but that's my understanding of how it works... don't quote me :)
<4> script-fu scripts use some kind of lisp variant, iirc
<5> ok
<4> as far as the user's concerned, you should be able to just download and install the scripts, and they should just work when you select them from the menu
<5> ok
<4> with a very big "should", since the scripts seem to break quite often with newer gimp versions
<4> that is, unless the script writer updates the script to be compatible with the new gimp versions... and, unfortunately, lots of these plugins seem to be written and forgotten
<4> so if they don't work you have to fix them yourself, if you can, or beg the authors to fix them for you (good luck finding the authors of some of the older scripts)
<5> hehe
<4> it's probably the same with photoshop... unless the plugins are in active development they may not work with newer versions of photoshop
<4> ooh... i finally found an exif manipulation tool for linux: exiftool
<5> i never used plugins for photoshop ;P
<5> just the filters and basic functions
<5> exiftool. simple enough ;)
<4> yep :)
<4> now if only i can get this HDR image generation thing to work...
<4> it worked! total PITA to get working, but it seems to work, finally
<9> greetings ya'll!
<3> 'Hi /part #gimp' to you, too.
<7> http://img265.imageshack.us/img265/5840/blank2ox.jpg <-- random gimp arts comments criticism anyone anyone?
<10> I have recently installed the newest version of GTK along with gAIM, and now the GIMP will not run (cannot find libexpat.dll). I have reinstalled the GIMP, and cannot reinstall GTK2 (newer version found). What could be causing this problem? I'm running XP.
<10> I mean, the obvious solution is to uninstall GTK 2.10.7rev a and reinstall 2.10.6-1, but it's odd that a DLL would go missing and then that GIMP would not work with GTK 2.10.7, right?
<11> moin
<12> hello
<13> hi, what's up?
<12> I'm using gimp 2.3.10 and I'm looking for how to set "New image defaults" size fit the size of the image in buffer
<13> has the setting moved then?
<12> it seems to always set it to the preferences specif
<12> I've never been looking there before
<13> i don't really understand quite what you're trying to acheive
<12> but with this new version I always get the same size in "new image" dialog
<12> example :
<12> I make a selection in image1
<12> then Ctrl + C
<12> then Ctrl + N
<12> at this time, in the dialog the size should be the size of the image I just copied
<13> how about <toolbox> - File - Acquire - Paste as new
<12> I don't have "paste as new"
<12> only screenshot
