Graphics & Pictures Apps Support

Hey everybody:

I found a site on the internet that gave a tutorial on how to turn a jpeg into a sketch then into a painting but it was hard to follow along with. Does anyone have a simple tutorial for me to follow? I have a picture that means a lot to me and I'd like to make a painting out of it. If you can help I would be very appreciative.

Hello:

I'm trying to make one of those sketches to paint images but the instructions tell me to open the Layers and Channels menu and I can't find it on Portable Gimp. Can someone please tell me how to get to this feature and if you're really feeling generous could you please give me some easy to understand directions on how to do this whole thing? Thanks.

I don't know wha to make of this, I run Gimp as a standalone app on my computer.
I reformated my hard drive the other day and for some reason when I loaded Gimp portable, a pop-up came up saying there was a trojan virus in Mosaic, and it kept on running. I can't remember if Mosaic is a Script-Fu or a filter, but when I had previously scanned the folder with both AVG and McAfee it didn't report a virus. Any ideas?

What does gimp portable actually need access to for it to run properly?

Also, is there any way with a standard GIMP install to stop it placing folders in C:\documents and settings\[user]

Portable GIMP 2.2.12 has been working well on my Windows XP machine. Today when starting the program, Panda Internet Security 2005 Platinum popped up a dialog reporting that it had neutralized spyware. Portable GIMP then stopped loading with a dialog reporting "gimp-2.2.exe - Unable To Locate Component" in the title bar, "This application has failed to start because intl.dll was not found. Re-installing the application may fix this problem." in the text portion of the dialog.

The Panda popup says the adware it neutralized was "Adware/DesktopMedia" in the location "...\temp\nspf.temp\system.dll"

I've copied the gswin32c.exe to the ..\Portable GIMP\App\gimp\lib\gimp\2.0\plug-ins folder, but I still can't open up PDF's with GIMP.

I get a trio of error messages:

PDF document Message
Error starting ghostscript: Failed to execute child

PDF document Message
Could not interpret ...

GIMP Message
Opening ... failed:

Plug-In could not open image

with u3 there is a launch window for all my installed apps and it would be great to have GIMP in there with the rest of them.
Can GIMP be converted to do this?

Cheers

is there any chance i can make gimp run faster? https://portableapps.com/node/1548 this works great but only in previous version

What differences are there between GIMP and gimp portable, in terms of functionality?

Also, is there a way to change the default save path?

Hello,

first thanks for PortableApps, its a greate job u do.

I work long with PortApps but now i have a problem but no solution.

I will start PortGimp with Parameters but don´t know how.

Normal Gimp i start like this:
./gimp-2.2.exe -c -i -d -b '(script-fu-glossy-logo "$1" 100 "Eras" "Shadows 2" FALSE "Shadows 2" FALSE 5 "255 255 255" FALSE "Electric Blue" FALSE "Electric Blue" FALSE "Parque #1" TRUE TRUE 8 8)'

but how under PortGimp?

I tried this:
PortableGIMP.ini
[PortableGIMP]
AdditionalParameters=-c -i -d -b '(script-fu-glossy-logo "Test" 100 "Eras" "Shadows 2" FALSE "Shadows 2" FALSE 5 "255 255 255" FALSE "Electric Blue" FALSE "Electric Blue" FALSE "Parque #1" TRUE TRUE 8 8)'
