I do a lot of artistic stuff, so I need a good graphics program. I think Gimp will be perfectly fine for my needs for the time being, but I can't find the layers box. When I opened it for the first time, only the toolbox and tool options were open, and I can't find anything about the layers. I checked the online manual, and that didn't help at all. I have version 2.6.
View 2 RepliesI add layers and they don't show up and the controls at the bottom of the layers palette (add layer, bin, etc) are all blanked out and i can't select them. It's impossible to do anything with layers in GIMP as it is at the moment and i need to get it sorted. I have tried closing down the layers tab, restarting GIMP and then adding the tab again but i get the same result, a layers palette that won't respond or show any layers that i do add.

If you haven't install the 2.7 version yet. Before upgrading, backup "python" directory and then just restore it after installing 2.7.
Some of you may have had with issues after installing GIMP on Lucid Lynx 10.04. Which may be directly related to "gimp-help-en", which could prevent you from installing other applications and preforming system tasks. If so, use this method to fix it.
Process: (Terminal > $ sudo apt-get install gimp)
1. After installing Gimp go to the terminal:
2. Then load up the language support application:
3. Then it will ask you to install the "gimp-help-en", confirm it.
4. Fix'd

I've got the OK from my manager to set this up, so I just need a little help. I've seen the tutorials on setting up VNC over SSH which works all fine and dandy, but I need access to my work PC when I'm not on the University Network. To log in to the command line I would have to ssh from putty to a central box that is visible to the outside network (i.e. the world) and from that box, I would have to ssh into my workstation.
Logical flow: SSH-Putty --> SSH-Midddleman --> Desktop-command line
How would I setup VNC to deal with the middleman?
I want to know how a network packet travels through different layers, i.e. from the physical layer to the presentation layer in Linux systems.

OpenOffice 3.0 on Ubuntu 9.04
I have a card project in OpenOffice Draw. In this project is a bitmap with the year 2009 embedded in it. I want to change that to read 20 and I can place the current year as a text layer on top of it.
I have a grid laid out on this bitmap, and I have overlaid text information such as date, time and frequency.
I got hold of the bitmap and cut it, leaving my data there but the form behind it missing. I pasted that into gimp and did the editing, saved it as a .bmp file and loaded that into Draw. I copied the bitmap from this bmp file and pasted it back into my card project.
The bitmap is now sitting on top of my data and I want to send it to the rear so my data sits on top of it.
I can not find a single reference to how to send layers to the front or to the back in OpenOffice Draw.
Launchpad.net is a way to get help online, but I am completely lost on that site, so I am asking here on the Ubuntu forum.

The tutorials I've found online are based on older versions of gimp, and the windows shown do not look like the gimp I have. Even the official, online gimp manual seems to be out of date, or maybe it's just written so poorly that I cannot get anything to work.
I am up-to-date with F12, and the gimp version is 2.6.8. All I want to do is create an image 200 x 50 px with a color I select at the left end of the rectangle and a gradient to another color I select at the right end. This should be an utterly trivial project, but I have not been able to do it.

Prerequisites :
The GIMP.
Make sure you have the "Gutenprint Printer Drivers Package" and "GIMP plugin for gutenprint" installed (add/remove software, search for gutenprint). A printer that uses a tray loading mechanism for printing disc media.
Procedure :
Open/create the image with the GIMP. I find that an image size of 1394 x 1394 is ideal for normal size discs. To create a working area in the image, first create a white circle. To do this, use the circle selection tool and position the cursor at position 0,0 (top left). Then, while holding the shift key down, hold left click and drag the cursor to the bottom right position, which should be 1394,1394. Fill the selection with white colour. Depending on the hub size of your disc you need to also cut out an area in the centre of the white circle approximately 22 mm in diameter. Position the circle selection cursor 11mm above the centre of the image, and 11mm to the left of the centre of the image. Then hold Shift down, hold left click and drag the cursor until the selected area is 22mm x 22mm. Then cut the selection. Now create a new layer above the white circle and create your image, keeping inside the white circle and outside the centre "hole".
If you are using non full face discs, make the centre "hole" bigger accordingly. Create 2 new background layers, one black and one white. The black is so you can preview the image with the correct shape, and the white one is for use when exporting the final finished image for printing. Remember to make the white layer above the black layer, or make the black layer invisible when exporting the image. I have attached a template for your immediate use. Once your image is finished, you should have a white square image, with your graphics arranged within a circle. White is not printed, so you don't need transparency around the edges. Don't put graphics too close to the edges of the circle or you will get ink on the plastic which never dries. (at least not until you have smeared it on your fabulous artwork ! ) Save the file as the default GIMP xcf format to preserve the layers then export it to png.
To print the image onto the disc. With the image open in the GIMP, In File > Page Setup set the paper size to CD - 5 inch and apply. Then go to File > Print with Gutenprint. Use the option to set up printer and find your make and model. Once you have the correct printer selected, lots of extra options become available.
My Printer settings are:
Print Quality - Best
Media Type - Photo paper
Media Source - Print to CD
CD hub size - Normal
Ink Set - Epson Standard inks
Resolution - 720 dpi
Ink Type - 6 color photo
Page Size - CD - 5 inch
(All the other settings are left as default)
On the Output tab there are more options for adjusting the print quality. Just click "Adjust Output". If you have adjusted the output, close that window then click "Print and Save Settings", otherwise just click "Print and Save Settings". It should fire up straight away. These settings are based on my Epson R200, so you may have to tweak them for your printer model.
I have a photograph of a painting which was lying on a table.The camera angle caused the outline of the painting to be non-rectangular. Is there a transformation feature of GIMP that would let me pick the 4 corners of the painting and have the image transformed to a rectangular shape?

I have a large image that I want to print over 4 pages, each page showing 1/4 of the overall image, that I will past together. I'm doing this from GIMP on an up-to-date fc12 system. Searching around I find that there is a "scale" field in the print dialog and the lp command that cups supports and according to the documentation if I set scale to "200%" it should do what I want.However, when I set scale to 200% I get only one page with the upper left 1/4 of the page and then nothing. How do I get it to print the remaining 3 pages?
