abarbarian Posted September 7, 2012 Share Posted September 7, 2012 For a second or so I thought you were promoting some adult mag Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zlim Posted September 7, 2012 Share Posted September 7, 2012 Thanks sunrat for the link to download the mag. I prefer to read in bits and pieces then go back and re-read to see if I understand something better and it is more convenient on the computer. (I sometimes read when I have no internet access while waiting for an appointment.) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cluttermagnet Posted September 25, 2012 Share Posted September 25, 2012 (edited) I found the online magazine to be a resource hog. Bordered on unusable for me. Turned it off after about a minute. How about a simple pdf, for gosh sakes?! As much as I love gimp, I hate this monstrosity. Too bad- the artwork and such looks very nice. I'd rather have stayed... BTW in fairness to the designer, I'm running a copy of FF that has way too many tabs open and usually runs sluggush to begin with.

Guest LilBambi Posted September 25, 2012 Share Posted September 25, 2012 I used the PDF as well. Very nice magazine! Can't wait for the next issue. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sunrat Posted September 28, 2012 Share Posted September 28, 2012 Thanks! Much Better. Nice magazine. BTW I use gimp exclusively here for the little bit I need it. Great utility, all I will ever need... Yes, Gimp is excellent and does everything I ever need for image editing. If it doesn't have it built in there's usually a plugin downloadable. I particularly recommend the gimp-plugin-registry package (that's what it's called in Debian anyway) which has essential batch processing functions and more. As for the magazine, I thought it was a great first issue but hopefully in future it will include more tutorial type material as well as the features on artists' portfolios.

Darn, it looks like Arch separates the packages: http://www.archlinux.org/packages/?sort=&q=gimp-plugin&maintainer=&last_update=&flagged=&limit=50 https://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?O=0&K=gimp-plugin&do_Search=Go I have not used Gimp very much but I would like to learn about all of its functions one day.
