GIMP 2.7 replaces earlier GIMP 2.x versions. It is advised that you
|
|
uninstall them before installing GIMP 2.7. If you want to keep your
|
|
older GIMP 2.x installation in parallel to GIMP 2.7, you have to
|
|
choose a separate prefix which is not in your default library search
|
|
path. Otherwise your GIMP 2.4 or GIMP 2.2 installation will start to
|
|
use the new libraries. You have been warned.
|
|
|
|
If you think you found a bug in this version, please make sure that it
|
|
hasn't been reported earlier and that it is not just new stuff that is
|
|
still being worked on and obviously not quite finished yet.
|
|
|
|
If you want to hack on GIMP, please read the file HACKING. For
|
|
detailed installation instructions, see the file INSTALL.

1. Web Resources
|
|
================
|
|
|
|
GIMP's home page is at:
|
|
|
|
http://www.gimp.org/
|
|
|
|
Please be sure to visit this site for information, documentation,
|
|
tutorials, news, etc. All things GIMP-ish are available from there.
|
|
|
|
The automated plug-in registry is located at:
|
|
|
|
http://registry.gimp.org/
|
|
|
|
There you can get the latest versions of plug-ins, using a convenient
|
|
forms-based interface.
|
|
|
|
The latest version of GIMP can be found at:
|
|
|
|
http://www.gimp.org/downloads/
|
|
|
|
|
|
2. Mailing Lists
|
|
================
|
|
|
|
We have several mailing lists dedicated to GIMP user and development
|
|
discussion. There is more info at
|
|
|
|
http://www.gimp.org/mail_lists.html
|
|
|
|
Links to several archives of the mailing lists are included in that page.
|
|
|
|
Gimp-announce is a low-traffic list with announcements about new
|
|
releases of GIMP and plug-ins. Gimp-user is a mailing list dedicated
|
|
to user problems, hints and tips, discussion of cool effects, etc.
|
|
Gimp-developer is oriented to GIMP core and plug-in developers. Most
|
|
people will only want to be subscribed to gimp-user. If you want to
|
|
help develop GIMP, the gimp-developer mailing list is a good starting
|
|
point.
|
|
|
|
There is also a mailing list, "gimpwin-users", dedicated to users of the
|
|
Win32 port. To subscribe, send an empty message to
|
|
|
|
gimpwin-users-subscribe@egroups.com
|
|
|
|
You can also use the web interface at
|
|
http://www.egroups.com/group/gimpwin-users/. Note that as this mailing
|
|
list is hosted on egroups.com, the messages from the list contain
|
|
relatively unintrusive and easily ignored advertisements at the
|
|
end. But if you are absolutely allergic to ads, don't subscribe.
|
|
|
|
|
|
3. IRC
|
|
======
|
|
|
|
And finally, for the real junkies, there is an IRC channel devoted to
|
|
GIMP. On GIMPNet (a private free software oriented network) there is
|
|
#gimp. Many of the developers hang out there. Some of the GIMPNet
|
|
servers are:
|
|
|
|
irc.gimp.org:6667
|
|
irc.us.gimp.org:6667
|
|
irc.eu.gimp.org:6667
|
|
|
|
|
|
4. Customizing
|
|
==============
|
|
|
|
The look of GIMP's interface can be customized like any other GTK app
|
|
by editing the ~/.gtkrc-2.0 file or by using "themes" (ready-made
|
|
customizations). For downloadable themes and further details, see
|
|
http://gtk.themes.org. Additionally, GIMP reads ~/.gimp-2.7/gtkrc so
|
|
you can have settings that only apply to GIMP.
|
|
|
|
Included is a set of keybindings similar to those in Adobe Photoshop.
|
|
You can find them in the ps-menurc file. To use them, copy this file
|
|
to ~/.gimp-2.7/menurc. You can also manually change the keybindings to
|
|
any of your choice by editing ~/.gimp-2.7/menurc.
