Hey,
the new version (2.4.5) of Gimp is much more stable as the last one on
Panther (i'm a Mac user)! It seems faster too, but unfortunately, (i
use Photoshop only in particular situations) is it still slower as
Ph.shop. Why? :**
But this is only a secondary question, because i like gimp for his
plugins too. (scheme-scripts) i've collected a big amount of these,
and a particular scm-script was very util: the merge_copy.scm
--------------------------
(define (merge-copy inimage indraw)
(set! theImage inimage)
(set! theHeight (car (gimp-image-height theImage)))
(set! theWidth (car (gimp-image-width theImage)))
(gimp-edit-copy-visible theImage)
(set! copy-layer (gimp-layer-new theImage theWidth theHeight 1 "copied
layer" 100 0) )
(gimp-drawable-fill (car copy-layer) 3)
(gimp-image-add-layer theImage (car copy-layer) -1)
(set! copy-float (car (gimp-edit-paste (car copy-layer) 0)))
(gimp-floating-sel-anchor copy-float)
(gimp-image-lower-layer theImage (car copy-layer))
(gimp-image-raise-layer-to-top theImage (car copy-layer))
(gimp-displays-flush)
)
(script-fu-register "merge-copy"
"<Image>/Script-Fu/Gimp-talk.com/merge-copy..."
"copies the visable layers to a new layer"
