I had never updated it (the laptop), so Gimp said it needed XP with service pack 2. I updated and installed service pack 2 and it still won't install - it says it needs XP with service pack 2, which I have now. But it still won't proceed beyond selecting the language.

It's a fantastic program, but I thought the area where it lacked the most was the brushes. It only came with a few basic brushes, and you often had to download extra packs for that something extra. This in itself wasn't a huge deal, although if you had brush sets more like those of PaintTool SAI or MyPaint, that would be really great. Those program don't have as much as Gimp, but they have some really great brushes, which makes them fun to draw in. My bigger concerns is adding your own brushes to Gimp via imported brush packs. While you say you integrate all files, the brush manager is lacking. If I wish to add a few brush packs to see what they do, the brush list quickly becomes clogged. You can't seem to delete brushes without going back into the brushes folder which you first put them in, and then delete the files. This also means if you like a few brushes in a pack, but the rest of it is useless to you, then you have to have everything, or nothing. There is a lot to be desired in terms of the brushes, and I hope you can improve these soon. I stand by Gimp, even though people often call it a watered down version of Photoshop, but Gimp 2.8 has been a huge disappointment for me. On a final note, when choosing a new brush, especially for the animated texture brushes you include, I think it would be useful if you automatically went to the brushes native size. This saves time and energy, especially if you are testing out new brushes. MyPaint has this feature, and I have found it incredibly useful. This also means I can just click the brush a second time to reset it to the default settings. I would very much like to see Gimp become an essential piece of software on every digital artists computer, but for now it seems to be trailing behind. _______________________________________________ gimp-user-list mailing list gimp-user-list&lt; at &gt;gnome.org https://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gimp-user-list </pre> Alex Stegmann 2012-05-22T21:49:46 http://comments.gmane.org/gmane.comp.video.gimp.user/22442 <pre>Hallo Liebe Gimp-User, *Wir repräsentieren ein Forschungsprojekt der Technischen Universität Berlin.

Ideally I'd like to select multiple layers and change the settings for all of them at once, but I can't seem to figure out a way to do this, so I think it doesn't exist?

Is there a "show quick mask" feature for showing masks?* * * I know Gimp has a "*Show quick mask*" feature which shows what you have (and haven't) selected by displaying a red overlay over your image, allowing you to add to or subtract from a selection by using the paintbrush, but I haven't found a similar feature for showing masks. Photoshop has this feature (it's called 'reveal mask' I think) and it basically just shows a red overlay of your mask on your image so that, similar to the quick mask feature in Gimp, you can see where you have and haven't masked through. (I don't own Photoshop so I'm not sure if the red overlay shows the opacity with which you've masked through or whether or not you can edit the mask when it's being shown as a red overlay.) *2. Is there a command for showing the layer underneath the current layer I'm working on?* * * This is another feature that I've seen Photoshop has that is helpful for blending multiple exposures (and lots of things, really). Basically it's just a keyboard shortcut for showing the layer underneath your current when you hold down a certain keyboard command (it's not something you toggle since it's meant for quickly viewing what's on the layer underneath your current one). I know I can press space bar to show or hide the layer I'm currently working on, but I can't do that unless I focus into the layers dialogue first. It'd be nice if I could activate that functionality from anywhere, regardless of whether I'm focused on the layers dialogue. * * * Do either of these features exist in Gimp? If not, where can I make suggestions about them? *Disclosure: neither of these are original ideas from me. I saw these features when watching a video of someone using Photoshop and then wondered if I could do the same thing in Gimp. * _______________________________________________ gimp-user-list mailing list gimp-user-list&lt; at &gt;gnome.org http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gimp-user-list </pre> Bruce 2012-05-20T14:12:24 http://comments.gmane.org/gmane.comp.video.gimp.user/22427 <pre>Mac OSX Snow Leopard GIMP 2.8 as described in the title, after choosing 'Text' tool and clicking a position I like on the new empty image, the entire application shuts down right away.

In the window Save as the dimension of the image is fixed at 1,3Gbyte even if the image is a few kbyte or you modify the quality. Here is the window: http://farm8.staticflickr.com/7104/7225708888_1d36c84fba_z.jpg where you can find the bug. Thanks Bye Francesco </pre> Kekko 2012-05-19T07:43:10 http://comments.gmane.org/gmane.comp.video.gimp.user/22419 <pre>1. I illustrate something. 2. I select an area; copy and paste to float that area so that I can move it. 3. Move the selected area. I've found that, working in 300DPI on an A4 canvas, 2.8 is performing noticeably jerkier than in 2.6. I have tested the same action in both versions. And I've ensured that all my preferences are identical too. Any reason why this should be? _______________________________________________ gimp-user-list mailing list gimp-user-list&lt; at &gt;gnome.org http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gimp-user-list </pre> Reflat N 2012-05-17T19:20:59 http://comments.gmane.org/gmane.comp.video.gimp.user/22416 <pre>Recently upgraded to Gimp 2.8 for the single window mode (which works brilliantly in Ubuntu, especially with the HUD). But the Rectangle Select Tool has a new - but odd - behaviour. When I draw a selection, and then add to that selection, a new "square" is position at my cursor. (See attached screenshot.) This didn't happen in 2.6 and is a bit irritating because it disorientates me slightly, especially if I'm working quickly. Is there a way to turn that off (or revert it to the 2.6 way)? _______________________________________________ gimp-user-list mailing list gimp-user-list&lt; at &gt;gnome.org http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gimp-user-list </pre> Reflat N 2012-05-17T17:42:50 http://comments.gmane.org/gmane.comp.video.gimp.user/22413 <pre> ... is that you can't edit them. I don't mean it quite the way it sounds, but it's something I've noticed ever since GIMP 2.2 that has repeatedly been an annoyance to my individual workflow. And minor annoyances are worse over time than major ones. For example: When you're using the Paintbrush or Pencil tool (with a standard brush) you have a button to select a brush from the Brushes dialog, and you have a button nearby to Edit that brush. However, the Brush Editor won't let you actually DO anything as long as you're using a default brush, because as a default resource that brush is read only. The same thing applies with Brush Dynamics. By moving them out of the tool context into their own 'resource' type, 2.8 loses the ability to make arbitrary edits on an impromptu basis. I can't, say, adjust the pressure curve on the default Pressure-Opacity setting because, as a default resource, you can't edit it. At all. Of course, there's an easy workaround to the current behavior: Take a default resource and Duplicate it. Then you can fine-tune its settings however you want. I did this back in GIMP 2.4 - I created two standard brushes (with differing hardness values) solely so I could set up keyboard shortcuts to increase/decrease brush size on the fly. (During 2.6 I retweaked my keyboard shortcuts to affect the brush scalar, for the same end result; size is a moot point in 2.8 with brush size being part of the tool context, but it can still occur with other brush settings, like hardness). But the issue definitely comes up with editing Brush Dynamics now that they have been made an official resource type. It's ... roughly like if you opened an image from a read-only XCF file and GIMP insists you Duplicate the image before allowing you to make any edits to the image whatsoever. (Okay, so that's an exaggeration.) I know, the change was deliberate, but from the user view it's still a loss of convenience and functionality -- a regression. If I want to adjust the pressure curve on a Dynamic, I first have to ensure that I'm working on an editable copy of it and not one of the defaults. So I'm going to toss out some ideas to discuss: 1 - If a default resource is selected, the matching Editor dialog (Brushes editor, Dynamics editor, etc.) should have a "Duplicate" button on its own dialog. This would save the extra click of having to bring up a different dialog and hit the button from there. 2 - Better yet, instead of locking down all the Editor's controls, have GIMP give you a prompt asking if you want to Duplicate the resource first (or even do that automatically) when you try to tweak its settings. This would save one more click over idea #1 - you couldn't make it any easier than that. 3 - Or can you? Maybe the default resources to be edited under the condition that those changes can't be saved/overwritten back to the original (read only) file. (Much like being able to make edits to a read-only XCF file; sure you can edit, you just can't overwrite the original file with those changes.) Also provide a "Revert" button which would refresh the resource back to its original state (like the "Reset" buttons on any number of adjustment tools). 4 - Or, if all else fails, have the GIMP distribution include one of each type resource (well, at least one Brush and one Dynamic) which are installed in the respective user resources folder (rather than the default resources folder, which is marked read-only). This keeps all the default set of resources, but adds one of each that the user may adjust at their whim. Thoughts on the matter? </pre> Richard Gitschlag 2012-05-17T15:38:48 http://comments.gmane.org/gmane.comp.video.gimp.user/22406 <pre>Hello everybody, First mail to this list, I hope this is the correct place to ask this! I've installed the Gimp 2.8 Windows version suggested in the official site but I cannot run the cage tool. After making the grid it quickly show a progress circle saying "calculating coefficients" (or something like that, since I'm using it in spanish), then "transform grid" and then it hangs up (and closes gimp) saying: Microsoft Visual C++ Runtime Library Runtime Error! This application has requested the Runtime to terminate it in an unusual way. I've checked the installer wasn't corrupt and I've installed it in two different computers (both having Windows Xp SP3). I think I have more than enough free memory, so probably the problem is in my Visual C++ libraries. At least I have installed the Visual C++ 2008 and 2010 Redistributable libraries to no avail. Is the cage tool working in the windows version? Should I install something to make it work? Thanks in advance for your help! Regards, Koko. _______________________________________________ gimp-user-list mailing list gimp-user-list&lt; at &gt;gnome.org http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gimp-user-list </pre> Koko Palen 2012-05-17T07:41:35 http://comments.gmane.org/gmane.comp.video.gimp.user/22397 <pre>Fedora 17 is available as a pre release (which I'm running with no problems) and GIMP is available from the Fedora repo and I haven't had any problems with it (yet). </pre> Mark Morin 2012-05-16T16:35:34 http://comments.gmane.org/gmane.comp.video.gimp.user/22395 <pre> Hmm - pending further geglization, would something like a "mode layer" be feasible? IE, a layer with options corresponding to the Image-&gt;Mode menu items? For example I could add a "mode layer" of type "indexed" with 1-bit and threshold options and every visible layer underneath would be converted for preview, and exported as 1-bit. Not only would that let me take advantage of the new save/export behavior, but it would be useful in its own right: I could tweak the underlying gray/color layers and watch the changes to the 1-bit image in "real time" or just toggle the layer on/off to switch between views. Just a random thought :) Chris _______________________________________________ gimp-user-list mailing list gimp-user-list&lt; at &gt;gnome.org http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gimp-user-list </pre> Chris Mohler 2012-05-16T16:31:40 http://comments.gmane.org/gmane.comp.video.gimp.user/22376 <pre>GIMP 2.8 was just pushed out by Ubuntu Software Center to my PC.
