<0> How do I cut out pieces to make that background transparent?
<1> ner0x: most certainly your problem is that you don't have an alpha channel yet. Are you working with only one layer?
<0> rubikcube: I figured it out, if I make a new image with a transparent background and paste it. :)
<1> ner0x: or simply right-click on the layer in the lazers dialog and add alpha channel
<1> s/lazers/leyers/
<1> s/leyers/layers/
<0> rubikcube: That'll work. :)
<2> hi guys
<3> howdy
<4> I have not used gimp in a while is it guilotine that can slice a
<4> its done.
<5> can you add different types of text to gimp?
<5> killermach_: can you add different types of text to gimp?
<6> let's say i have a bunch of white background in an image--how do i turn that into something transparent
<6> i'd really like it if there was an easy way to make the white in the background just transparent
<5> under layers, right click the layer/add alpha channel
<5> now everything you delete will be transparent
<6> oh nice
<6> that's awesome, thanks Aaron
<5> no prob
<7> hello, what do you call this effect? http://files.myopera.com/lyf129/albums/41628/thumbs/Australia.png_thumb.jpg
<8> hello :)
<8> where can i find a good tutorial for makeing textures in GIMP?
<8> oh wait... i found a good guide on www.gimp.org guess RTFM might have been a good answer >.<
<8> anyway besides saving where could i find a good plugin for GIMP that also lets me load .mng images? (and maby .jng for fun)
<8> hello Vatsug3
<9> Hello Gimpers!
<8> :)
<10> anyone know how I can get iscan to show up as an aquire option in GIMP?
<10> or any scan frontend for that matter
<10> I'm easy :)
<5> killermach_: christa would like to know, what is the website with all of the photos?
<8> hello :) where can i find out what all of the preloaded images in GIMP are licensed under? (as in textures brushes...)
<8> i want to know what i can use to make an image and still have it public domain
<8> oh by the way it would be awesome if you could paint into an offsetted image but it go into a normal one if the was implemented right it would make gimp the best tool for makeing ex. tiles and textures
<8> man that would be one of the ebst ever fetures!
<8> best*
<8> right now even with offset it is still kinda hard
<8> im going to irc.gimp.org bie
<11> i can't get the gimp (or any other program it seems) to export to the windows icon format (.ico)
<11> i was trying to create a favicon for a website
<11> any suggestions?
<3> i forget how i made mine its been so long
<3> save as
<3> by file extension
<3> choose ico
<3> works for me
<11> yea, that's what I tried, i get garbage
<3> can be no higher or wider then 255 is the only constraint i see
<3> you running windows or linux?
<11> yea, its 16x16, 150ish colours
<11> linux
<11> ... though I wouldn't think the platform gimp is running on would cause a problem... but maybe it does :-/
<3> never had any problems with a linux install of gimp
<3> most of the problems ive had at all had been with windows versions
<3> usually fixed by upgrading or reinstalling gtk
<3> or gimp itself
<11> mmm
<3> im having no problems saving .ico
<11> i'm running gentoo, so i compiled it myself
<11> hmph
<11> i even tried ImageMagick
<11> still with the garbage there too
<11> gimp spits out a blank blackness, ImageMagick spits out.... er.... i have no idea WHAT that is
<3> might try #gimp-users at irc.gimp.org
<3> http://www.fangars.com/ made that favicon with the gimp
<12> Title: www.fangars.com is under contstuction. (at www.fangars.com)
<3> on linux
<11> well, thanks, i'll pop over there maybe and see what they say
<13> new to gimp. how can I make an entire image lighter?
<13> it's greyscale right now
<3> you could use levels or gamma or several other tools
<3> even a slider somewhere the contols brightness
<3> and lightness

<14> moin
<15> anybody up on the Windows version? I've just had an odd problem
<15> I updated GTK+ with the latest install of Gaim, and now I can't start the GIMP - 'application failed to start because libexpat.dll was not found'
<16> how come when I cut an image and then open a new gimp window. The gimp windows no longer takes the default size of the image ?
<16> I end up with a tiny window and a huge image ... How do I expand the canvas to fit the much larger image ?
<16> ..
<17> use <toolbox> - File - Acquire - paste as new
<16> PhilH: thanks
<17> np
<18> philh u rock
<17> hrm
<19> dude
<19> do you get paid to sit there and help ppl with gimp
<19> ?
<17> no
<19> then you fully rock it :)
<19> lol
<19> i ran a large format printer
<17> heh, thanks :)
<19> we sent cmyk vector but rgb raster
<19> and it was a dual cmyk printer
<19> sort of odd. i didn't have an opportunity to actually configure the printer properly unfortunately as the managers son thought he knew how to run it. :\
<19> but a good way to get a colour match is just to pick a pantone or two
<17> ah, :-\
<19> and say "this here is pantone _____ and this here is pantone _____" pantone is universal there is even a different rating for glosses.
<20> hi
<17> pantone looks terribly complicated, not to mention decidedly hard for free software to make use off
<17> -f
<17> hi
<20> i want to resize a 11000x19000 pixel jpeg (should theoretically fit in ram) ... still gimp tries to allocate more the 1gb ram + 2.5 gb swap and then dies
<19> Nebukadneza, you're not allowed that many pixels. ;)
<20> seems like it ;P
<17> it might be worth asking at #gimp on irc.gimp.org, just incase there's some known reason for the problem
<17> what's your tile cache set to?
<20> 2048mb
<17> heh
<17> so you've got much more than 2gig of physical memory installed?
<20> i thought the tile cache is what gimp does in a file when ram/swap is out
<17> the tile cache is how much RAM gimp should use before swapping, i think
<20> oh ... k
<17> any luck having adjusted the tile cache?
<17> you might want to set undo steps to 0 while you're at it
<20> i discovered vips which had no problem with it ;P
<17> ah, vips look interesting
<20> indeed it does
<20> "between excel and photoshop" made me like WTF?^^
<17> did you not attempt it again in GIMP?
<21> hi all!
<21> Is there a way to move a selection so the 'x' coordinate stays the same? (so if I want to move a selection some pixels to the right for example?)
<21> (in PS one can hold the 'shift' key while moving/changing a selection)
<1> roxlu: you could use the rulers for that purpose, of course you'll have to put it at a correct place first
<21> yeah, but it would be a lot easier if I could move it around like in PS
<1> or you could use the cursor keys
<1> (i should've said that before, it does a much better job usually ;-) )
<21> haha oke thanx
<1> the alt/shift/ctrl-modifier keys change the step size then
<21> oke
<1> hmm, maybe I was not quite right there...
<21> the shift key works for me
<1> but to move the selection you've to change into quickmask mode
<21> uh... I'm just creating a selection and than I use the shift key to move the selected elemetn, which works fine
<1> ah ok
<1> I thought you wanted to move the selection itself :-D
<21> rubikcube: oh oke :-) .... and do you maybe know if its possible to also move only the 'width' or either the 'height' when I transform a selectcion?
<17> there should be a number of radio buttons in the tool options dialogue to do that
<17> they're labelled with the keyboard shortcuts too
<1> Ctrl in 2.3.13 by default
<21> oh I see
<21> How active is the development of the Gimp?
<17> rubikcube, does ctrl scale along the axis which the cursor is moving more rapidly along?
<17> roxlu, pretty active, why do you ask?
<21> I was just wondering
<1> Ctrl simply toggles the effect of that checkbox
<17> "only the 'width' or either the 'height'"
<21> ..... and I've been using PS for 10 years, and I just switched over to the Gimp .... and I miss some important features, like grouped-linked layers
