| - | ======GIMP Plugins====== | ||
| - | |||
| - | GIMP, the famous image manipulation programme, is installed by default with a standard Slackware install. What many people do not realise is that GIMP is astoundingly extensible, with a rich plugin structure spanning from native plugins, Python scripting, and everyday hacks. | ||
| - | |||
| - | |||
| - | ==== GIMP Paint Studio ==== | ||
| - | |||
| - | GIMP brushes, saved as ''GBR'' files, add new shapes to your brush menu. In addition to ''GBR'' brush files, ever since version 2.4, GIMP can use Photoshop ''ABR'' brushes, so almost any website offering free brushes for imaging applications will have something to offer an artist in need of new brushes. | ||
| - | |||
| - | <WRAP alert> | ||
| - | Be aware that not all brush sets are created equal; some are fine at low resolutions but degrade when increased in size, so audition the brushes that you install and judge them based on your own requirements. | ||
| - | </WRAP> | ||
| - | |||
| - | These sites seem to come and go at random, but the [[http://slackermedia.info/sprints|Great Linux Multimedia Sprints]] have plenty for you to freely install, use, and re-distribute. | ||
| - | |||
| - | <WRAP alert> | ||
| - | Installing too many will cause the | ||
| - | brush menu in GIMP to respond //very// slow, so don't go overboard. | ||
| - | </WRAP> | ||
| - | |||
| - | Installing a GIMP brush set is simple: | ||
| - | |||
| - | *To install brushes on a system-wide basis, move the brush files (''*.gbr'', ''*.abr'', ''*.vbr'', etc) to the ''/usr/share/gimp/2.0/brushes/'' directory. | ||
| - | *To install them on a per-user basis, copy the files to that user's ''~/.gimp-2.x/brushes'' directory. | ||
| - | |||
| - | Launch GIMP (or quit and then launch, if it was already running) and the brushes will in the brush palette. Notice that GIMP currently scans the brushes directory every time it is launched, and every time the brush menu it is clicked, so keeping hundreds or brushes in the the brushes directory will make GIMP slower to launch and the menu itself slower to appear. It may behoove you to familiarize yourself with the brushes you own, and only keep your favourite brushes in the brush directory, until GIMP developers come up with a more dynamic way to load brushes. | ||
| - | |||
| - | ====Gimp Paint Studio==== | ||
| - | |||
| - | GIMP Paint Studio ("GPS" for short) is a sort of project-within-a-project; it is an add-on pack for GIMP itself and brings with it a whole new personality by adding sets of brushes, color swatches, and presets so that you can achieve everything from realistic materials and brush emulation, airbrushing, inking, and any variety of special effects. | ||
| - | |||
| - | [{{ paintinggps_by_sethkenlon.jpg }}|Painting done with Gimp Paint Studio] | ||
| - | |||
| - | GPS is available from [[http://code.google.com/p/gps-gimp-paint-studio]] as a zip file. It | ||
| - | releases as a traditional software would, so make sure to download the latest version corresponding to your version of GIMP. | ||
| - | |||
| - | Slackermedia's maintainers currently also maintains a SlackBuild for GPS on [[http://slackbuilds.org]]. | ||
| - | |||
| - | If you choose to manually install it, the install is simple; unzip the file and | ||
| - | then copy the brushes into your GIMP brushes directory. | ||
| - | |||
| - | <WRAP alert> | ||
| - | If you have custom GIMP ''*rc'' [configuration] files, GPS will overwrite them during installation. Backup your GIMP ''*rc'' files before proceeding. | ||
| - | </WRAP> | ||
| - | |||
| - | <code> | ||
| - | $ curl http://gps-gimp-paint-studio.googlecode.com/files/GPS%201_5_final%20release.zip -O GPS1_5_finalrelease.zip; mkdir GPS_source | ||
| - | |||
| - | $ unzip GPS*zip -d GPS_source ; cd ./GPS_source | ||
| - | |||
| - | $ for gps in $(find ./* -type d) ; do cp $gps/* ~/.gimp*/$gps ; done | ||
| - | | ||
| - | $ cp ./GPS_source/*rc ~/.gimp*/ | ||
| - | </code> | ||
| - | |||
| - | Once the files are copied, launch or re-launch GIMP and explore the new options. | ||
| - | |||
| - | <WRAP tip> | ||
| - | GPS brushes are only brush presets, so they are not stored in your brushes | ||
| - | menu. | ||
| - | </WRAP> | ||
| - | |||
| - | {{ gps.jpg }} | ||
| - | |||
| - | The new brushes are stored in the **Restore Options From...** button at the bottom | ||
| - | of the **Paint Brush** tab. Everything else is easily accessible in their respective tabs. | ||
