Hi Alexandre
Really ? In 1987, "digital photography" didn't exist... We
(photographers) were using color slides, and the contrast was a big
problem... Easier with negative but useless for commercial use.
Then, 1990 years, some colleagues began using P$$op for editing and
archiving their photos. It was the beginning.....
"Thomas renamed his program Photoshop and worked out a short-term
deal with scanner manufacturer Barneyscan to distribute copies of
the program with a slide scanner"
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Adobe_Photoshop#Early_history
It was used in the printing industry, PrePress long before Photographers
started using it. That was what kept us busy in the scanning department
during the late 80s & 90s.
Really Wikipedia is a great resource, however it's not definitive. If
you go to about Photoshop you'll still see the Knoll name in the
credits, so I'll take the originators word over Wikipedia, thank-you very
much.

Hi:
I just installed 2.8 and have downloaded the help files, but cannot figure
out the destination folder/location for extracting them. I am using
Windows Vista.
Thank you,
Chuck

Hi,
to me it seems you expect the toolbar and brushes dock to the left side
docked. To achieve this, toggle Windows/Single Window Mode.
The tabs on the upper right side will appear when there's more than one
image open. To see them simply open or create another file.
Don't mind the dark theme of your GIMP vs. the fawn one from the
tutorial. That's no error. If you don't like it, you can choose another
theme in Edit/Preferences/Theme.
BTW: The subject 'GIMP opening screen' is a bit misleading, because it
lets one think of the splash screen with the progress bar. To be more
precise, you could for instance use 'GIMP screen after opening a file'
next time ;-)
Kind regards,
Sven

Hi,
I'm building gimp on a FreeBSD 10.0-CURRENT machine, with gtk3.
I have a failure in at-spi2-core when it does the g-ir-scanner bit. It
looks like it's possibly ignoring the include spec for Introspection, it's
running:
# /usr/local/bin/g-ir-scanner -v --namespace
Atspi --nsversion=2.0 -I.. -I.. --include=GLib-2.0 --include=GObject-2.0
....(ETC)
note the -I.. -I..
anyway it's failing, complaining about not finding libintl.h included in
glib gi18n.h
I don't see where to add paths in autogen.sh, I edited the Makefile and
added -I/usr/local/include to INTROSPECTION_CFLAGS without luck.
I did find that manually changing to atspi path and running g-ir-scanner
with an extra -I/usr/local/include does the trick, then gmake can finish
the build.
Does anyone have experience with this issue? Either I'm not correctly
building at-spi2-core or possibly a bug.
I appreciate any suggestions/pointers.

I don't know about FreeBSD, gut Gimp 2.8 needs GTK 2.x Hand not GTK3.

You're selecting only the alpha channel. On that layer, "Select All",
then fill.

The Alpha Channel is a greyscale channel that only contains information
about the transparency of the pixels in the layer. When you select by
alpha channel, you're only selecting the part of the image with non-zero
'opaqueness'.

Congratulations, you're beginning to get to know your way around Gimp.
You've come a long way already!
Working on a layer - You said you selected the layer by turning the layer
box to a highlighted color. Take another, closer look at the layers
dialog. When you click on the little image of the layer, yes, the whole
line will be highlighted, but a narrow WHITE border will appear around the
thumbnail. Click on another layer in the same image to see what I mean.
Black border... Not selected. White border... selected. When you start
working with layer masks this will be vitally important to remember.
Even more subtle is the actual layer name. If the name is written with a
bold font, it has NO alpha-channel, and therefore no transparency
information. If it is in normal font, the alpha channel is present.
Right-click on the layer and add and remove the alpha channel to see how
that works.
While we're on the layers, there's an 'eye' button there too. Click it on
and off to see the layer. If you apply a tool to a layer below all the
visible ones, you won't be able to see your changes (depending on your
blending modes, but that's for another discussion).
Hey, that's pretty cool!!? Thanks for sharing!? Now, I understand it
better.? One last little thing before I step away for the day.? Sorry to
keep bugging y'all.? I spent a pretty frustrating hour not really able to
make anything work at all.? When one wishes to use tools to change
something about an image, I'd think that if they select the desired layer
in the layer box to the right (turning it dark blue over there), I'd think
one is good to go as far as modifying it.? Is there some special secret
handshake to tell the program that the particular image is what you want
to work on, thus, allowing all of the interesting tools to work on it.?
I've been able to add an alpha channel to make it transparent, but want to
go through and clean it up a bit.? Thanks again.?

am still quite foggy on this whole selecting with a layer mask thing.?
Why
would one want some pixels to be partially selected, or partially
transparent?
Jessica,
There are many uses for that. In general, this way you can make
gradual transitions between two layers.
For example, a typical sunset photo has a sky that looks OK, but the
ground/water is a bit too dark.
You can duplicate the original layer, then raise brightness of one of
the layers, then combine them via a layer mask, where selection
gradually changes. As the result, both sky and ground/water will look
just like when you were taking the picture.
Here is another example of, ahem, artistic use of this feature:

If you are referring to single-window vs multiple-window mode, you can
change it by toggling Single-Window mode in Menu/Windows.
