For a replacement for photoshop I would like to point out GimpShop. A
modified version of gimp to give it a similiar look and feel of photoshop.

Re: [BLUG] BLUG meeting: THURSDAY November 13

I'd be happy to! I suppose I should have something on my laptop in case
people want to talk GPG at Yogi's. It's happened before. :)

I look forward to seeing some familiar faces tomorrow and chatting about
free/open-source software.

Re: [BLUG] Multitracking

I'm at the point where, if I need to do something basic with an image, I'm equally comfortable just doing it on whatever computer I'm on at the time the need for the task rears its head. If I'm on a Linux computer, I'll use GIMP; if I'm on the Mac, I'll use Photoshop, I don't , really, have to even think too much--so I gess that means I've got "the basics" down.

And, if we're moving to Thursdays, I can maybe make it to meetings again!

Paul,

Good point re:it being harder to get started than to get better.
That's the "learning curve" you always hear people talk about, and
it's kept me from starting on more than one occasion.

I'm personally living up in the Fort Wayne area nowadays, so getting
down to Bloomington on a weekday is not usually going to be in the
realm of possibility for me. Anyone else (in the B-town area) have a
handle on the very basics of the GIMP to share?

Simón

P.S. Pretty good idea announcing what you'd like to see a presentation
on on the list; much greater chance of it actually happening than the
alternative. ;-)

Let me urge some one to give a beginning presentation on using GIMP. I
have read enough to know that GIMP is a good idea, but it also has a
really big manual. I have the feeling that I would use it a lot if
someone got me starting on using it, but I have never had the time to
devote to starting to use it.

I would greatly appreciate someone who uses GIMP talking about how to do
the normal simple ordinary things in GIMP. If they cannot resist talking
about some of the more complex things, they could have a little of that
also, but for that, it would probably be best to just tell us where to
look in the manual.

I have been learning new things about computers for almost five decades,
and I always find getting started much harder than getting better. It
seems that the best way to get started on something is to talk with
someone who already knows. Once you have the basic knowledge, you can
learn the rest from manuals if necessary.

Re: [BLUG] Multitracking

I know that when I first started playing with Ubuntu, I was a pretty
big fan of Photoshop.

Opening up GIMP and looking at its interface was baffling to me. Even
simple tasks took me a while to perform, so at first I just switched
to Windows to use Photoshop. The more I got into Ubuntu, the less I
felt like going into Windows, so I one day I decided I would stop
using Photoshop and just use the GIMP so that I could get to the point
where the GIMP's interface was familiar.

After a while of playing with it and getting to know it, that's
happened; I love the GIMP now, and I don't miss Photoshop one bit.

I don't know anything about Ardour, so I can't help with that; I just
thought maybe this little story might hold some encouragement for
those about to embark on the journey of learning a new tool. :-)

Glad to hear it, Jim.  I sometimes fear that I'm turning BLUG into my own personal support team.  I hope I'm not giving that impression.  I am looking forward to multitracking on the Ubuntu side of things - although I seldom use the XP side of any of my machines, I feel I'm getting closer to blowing XP off my computers completely.  Of all the tasks, getting Ardour up and running looks like it is among the more daunting.  We'll see . . .
Thanks - sound off if you know anything about setting up this program.

Re: [BLUG] Virtual Box OSE: The Issue

Good advice, Barry.
I have run all Windows updates; will need to install FF and create a backup.  It'll be interesting to horse around with this a bit.
Thanks for all the help, everyone!

Re: [BLUG] BLUG meeting: THURSDAY November 13

That was me. I wasn't able to make the last several meetings b/c I got
into that class with BPD. The class is almost over, and meets Tuesdays,
so I can make the meeting tomorrow.

If there's still interest in GPG stuff, I can prep tonight and show you
all a few neat tricks tomorrow.

I don't know yet if I will be able to attend the meeting tomorrow. I
promise I'll make it to a meeting sometime though!

However, I believe someone on the list (sorry, don't recall who)
offered to do a presentation about GPG and encryption a while back.
IIRC there was quite a bit of interest in this topic, and I would love
to learn more about it.

Re: [BLUG] Virtual Box OSE: The Issue

The first thing you do when you get a new XP install is put Firefox on
it and use FF. That keeps IE from crashing.

The second is spend a couple hours on Windows Update. The third is make
a backup (or save the VM state) so you have a pristine install to go
back to when it gets infected with malware.

Re: [BLUG] Multitracking

I, for one, am glad to see the traffic. I have not been able to help,
but I am learning by reading along.
