So you’re excited to upgrade from a development release of GIMP 2.7 to make use of it’s new features. But luck hasn’t been so good you, broke your stable GIMP install, stuck with the problem on the compilation, some pertinent libraries (gegl, libbabl, etc..) just magically gone away or cannot be used. You’re in the abyss of confusion on how to resurrect GIMP.
Now you decided to downgrade from 2.7 to 2.6 . Hmmm… was it easy? I hope so. But with GIMP running in Linux, particulary in Ubuntu, it’s been a struggle but it’s possible.
Let me share with you my discovery on how to downgrade from a failed GIMP 2.7 compilation/installation to GIMP 2.6 in Ubuntu Intrepid.
As 2009 rapidly enters and as we say bye bye to year 2008, I am going to leave you this post of fine and best GIMP tutorials delivered at 2008. May you find this helpful and entertaining as well.
So here we go, in no particular order, the 2008 Best GIMP Tutorial Picks.
Time flies when your having fun. It’s been another year of Software Freedom Day. Previously, I was able to present GIMP at MAD Workshop in General Santos City, Philippines. This time, I was given the chance to speak with a bigger audience in a magnanimous event called Software Freedom Day 2008 (Davao Celebration). Details on this event at feathevane’s and neural.brew’s post.
Here’s the video presentation provided by, non other than, the Filipino Blender Artist, Ragingmon. More of Ragingmon’s Software Freedom Day 2008 – Davao coverage video album
Please don’t mind tons of grammatical errors. hehehe.
And on more thing. I want to point out another error when I said about Cinepaint.
Studios such as Sony Pictures Imageworks and many smaller studios use CinePaint. Disney, DreamWorks, and Pixar funded Crossover (Wine) to make Adobe Photoshop for Windows run nicely on Linux and that’s what they use. Some studios use proprietary or internally developed tools. CinePaint is open source software. Nobody is obligated to tell us they use it. Studios use many Linux motion picture applications, not just CinePaint. This list of studios using CinePaint is just some we know about. From Cinepaint’s website.
Gotta have to be careful next time. Whew, the careless me. ahihi.
I’ve been thinking ’bout this lately since I can see and observe my lack of time to update this place. The very reason for this sudden change is… I want to focus more on another journal that will mainly talk about my FOSS endeavours and my participation on the freefeathers.org.
Ang Pilipino GIMP (AGP) is a personal web-log of a Filipino GIMP Enthusiast with the intention to promote and welcome artists, designers, photographers and the like to explore & somehow adapt F/OSS design tools to their needs. Enjoy my random posts & feel free to post comments.
