The first thing I do when I launch Gimp is to make the Rectangle Select Tool the active selection.The default selection is the Paintbrush Tool. I find this selection dangerous because it's easy to paint over an image that I do not want marked up. There must be some sort of config file that can be altered. I am using Gimp 2.6.8 under Ubuntu Linux.
View 4 RepliesI 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?

Is there a way I could configure this so only document windows are presented, or better still, only applications like on Mac OS X? Or a third party solution?

View 4 Replies View RelatedThe default image viewer in 10.10 (eog) has met its match, a ~500MB image of the moon. I just thought it was kind of funny, while browsing the software center for an image viewer that could handle it, I noticed the description of the one installed by default and thought it was kind of funny, so I snapped this screenshot and thought I'd share it with you guys. By the way I have 4 GB of RAM and can view the image just fine in GIMP, just thought this was kind of funny.

View 5 Replies View RelatedThe new feature in Gimp 2.7 that attaches basic text formatting options (bold, italicunderline, strike-through) to the active text box is either buggy or just bad design.The text edit buttons are actually being placed on top of the text box (which contains text) instead of off to the side, and that is causing me to not be able to see the text.See screenshot for example:GIMP version: 2.7.1Am I doing something wrong or are others experiencing this too?
View 1 Replies View RelatedHow can I change the behavior of the selection buffer or a program that uses it ( I have xclip) to not send me text until the mouse button is released while clicking and dragging? This causes havok in the software I'm developing that tries to make use of the selection buffer. I need the full selection, not bits more bits more bits and then the full selection.EDIT: I cannot listen for mouse events such as button release outside of the GUI of my program.
View 2 Replies View RelatedI've been searching for a while now and come up empty handed, but after some research on the history of digital camouflage and how it was created I was able to devise a simple method for creating at least a close approximation of the real thing.
Step 1: start with a picture of the "texture" you intend to use. it doesn't matter if it's a low resolution picture because you are going to intentionally pixelate it
Step 2: use the noise plugin "pick" and create some static in the picture. I've found that you can just set everything to maximum and apply the pick with good results.
Step 3: (optional) if you want this to be a repeating pattern, at this time apply the "make seamless" tool under Map plugins.
Step 4: Apply a pixel blur. dial it in just to where you start to see hard pixel edges forming. In most digital camo patterns, the pixels are taller than they are wide, about a 3:2 ratio
Step 5: Choose the number of colors you want in your camo pattern. Virtually all digital patterns are either three or four colors, but never any more than that. Change the image mode from RGB to 4 color indexed. Then you can change it back to RGB if you wish to change the colors in your camo.
you can play with the settings on each step to dial in something that looks proper. The proper scale for your camo is roughly 1/4" tall pixels. Try playing with different textures, or even non digital camo prints. In about two minutes we've just created both a woodland and a desert digital print that is close enough to pass for MARPAT using free software.

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

Right now I have a VPS that I tunnel through using SSH/Putty/Proxycap. I use it for a certain program which uses a certain port X for authentication, and a different port Y for its data. However, due to certain security protocols I need port X to be somewhat "transparent" so that the IP from the originator will be shown - whilst tunneling data through port Y. The conditions though, are that I cannot just change the X/Y port values in the application itself, these are company specific.
How would I go about doing this? Because right now, my understanding is that if Putty calls for a certain application to go through a socks server, ALL its ports will be directed at that. I want a certain port to be passthrough.

View 2 Replies View RelatedIf I open my 3.3MB .jpg file in Microsoft Paint and re-save it as .jpg it will right away loose it's size and go down to 1.5MB and still keep the good quality.
I have 100s of these picture files, so I can't set down and do it one by one in Paint.
I am wondering if there is any command in Centos 5.4 or tool that I can use to not only make these files size smaller but also to standardize their size to let's say 800 X 600. The latter is not really needed but it will be bonus if someone can guide me.
I am running a php photo gallery script and it takes way to long to load the picture hence the requirement to lower the size for all the files.
I know that there is "mogrify" and "convert" but I think they don't work without GIMP.

My CentOS doens't have any GUI or gnome package to it and I want to keep it simple.
I have a WAN network that i need to do some analysis on, for the traffic flows. I did lots of googling to figure out what useful tool to collect the packet informations.I found this site http://scrutin.wordpress.com/2007/04...-tcpdump/witch i made great use of to recognize the tcpdum tool.
I also have a network simulator on windows platform wich is Opnet Guru, (by the way.. is there a linux version for this simulator?).
MY QUESTION IS::
How can i feed the Opnet Guru with the flows data collected with the
Code:
tcpdumpwith its different options?
NOTE: in the Opnet Guru invironment there is an object called the profile that is being used to customize and genarate data flows with the desired characteristics to simulate the real flows. So i need to feed the Opnet with the fresh data collected with the tcpdump tool (command) instead of using the built-in profile.
