I've noticed also the following list of others useful GIMP additions (mainly helpful in Web, Brochure and Logo Graphic Design) to install them:ĭebian:~# apt-get -yes install gimp-gmic gimp-ufraw gtkam-gimp gimp-gluas gimp-dimage-color gimp-dds gimp-dcraw gimp-cbmplugs flegita-gimp gimp-texturize gimp-resynthesizer gimp-lensfun gimp-gutenprint gtkam-gimp mrwtoppm-gimp You see the enormous list of Video editting possibilities GIMP obtaines with gimp-gap which btw stands for (The GIMP Animation Package).
I've not tested the GIMP video editting capabilities yet, however I intend to learn something about it immediately when I have some free time left. On Debian and Ubuntu there is a package called gimp-gap which once installed adds an extra Video menu. I was also quite stunned to find out the good old GIMP is capable of basic Video editting!! Generally once installed this package will add to GIMP – an extra set of brushes, palettes, and gradients for The GIMP as you can read in the package description. Gimp-data-extras adds 111 new GIMP Fill in Patterns, which can be used through the Blend Tool to Fill selected areas with color gradients.ĭebian:~# apt-get install -yes gimp-data-extras deb package which adds up to GIMP's design possibilities is gimp-data-extras. One of the most helpful GIMP addition from the package is the inclusion of Save for Web button under:Īnother very helpful. The collection contains less scripts than the ones provided by gimp-plugin-registry.
GIMP FX Foundry extensionos package contains 124 scripts for additional graphics manipulation. Once installed you will notice GIMP with a new menu on the main menus bar reading FX-Foundry : Gimp plugin registry contains many helpful design goodies ? Gimp-plugin-registry package name is based on GIMP Plugin registry's website To install FX-Foundry scripts collection on Debian / Ubuntu / Linux Mint and other based Linux distributions:ĭebian:~# apt-get install -yes gimp-plugin-registry For anyone looking for quick edit of images with GIMP FX-Foundry is a must have GIMP plugins extension.
This additional GIMP extensions helps to create very unique design in just few simple steps, as well as gives multiple tools for the sake of easy pro design creation.
GIMP FX-Foundry is a thoroughful collection of GIMP scripts (addon plugins), that automates many of the operations which requires a professional web design skills and gives an easy intuitive interface through which very robust "high level" graphic design can be accomplished. The functionality which The GIMP offers in a basic install is quite rich, however by default on most Debian and Ubuntu installations many of the great plugins which easifies the way to edit pictures is missing.Įxample for a very valuable functionality which is not present with standard gimp package installed on Debian and Ubuntu are: The more I learn about GIMP functionalities and how it works the more it makes me determined to learn some basic web design ? Hence until just recently, Just until now, I've never spend time with the GIMP (GNU Image Manipulation Program) and never realized how powerful this great program is. I've been a GNU / Linux, FreeBSD user for already 11 years now but as I'm doing mostly system administration and I don't have much expertise in Panting or Computer Graphical Design, I've never put much time to learn more in the interesting area of graphical design.
I intend to post these instructions to my blog within the next day or two, which will contain screenshots and a video of GIMP-GAP on Mac OS X I'll notice gimp-docs-list at that time.These days, I'm playing with The GIMP. Not only have I nailed down the most concise method for adding GAP 2.6 to GIMP 2.8.14, but, as a technical writer employed in Silicon Valley for 16 years, I can convey that method to any GIMP user clearly.
I can write out the steps for installing GIMP-GAP on Mac OS X, if they are not already posted to this list (a Google search showed nothing and, the GIMP website is missing any kind of source build instructions for Mac OS X users). Well - as that way the article will probably reach a larger audience. Please, when you post, send the e-mail to the "GIMP-users" list as GIMP Web site with official or unofficial hints and "install guides" Important than an e-mail post to any of the GIMP lists (although theseĪre mirrored on the Web). Please keep in mind that your blog, as a "fixed address" in the internet is more Yes - such instructions would be welcome.
