New Plugin: Resynthesizer GIMP News Holiday Sorry to all the faithful GIMP News readers. The current system is just too cumbersome even for the sparse amount of news I'm currently posting. update Thanks to the people who have offered help, but I think what will help most will be when I can upgrade xach.com (and the GIMP News page) to the new website system I've been developing for phlux.net. It's just a matter of time. Thursday, June 22nd, 2000

Older news can be found here.
News posted prior to February, 1998 can be found here.
Another German GIMP book hit the shelves. The author is Jürgen Osterberg and the book is published by dpunkt.verlag. It contains 546 pages, lots of pics, some of them in color.
GIMP News now accepts articles through an easy web form. If you've got some juicy GIMP news, contribute it.
LinuxNews.com interviewed Michael J. Hammel about the GIMP BOF at ALS earlier this month. It's a fluff piece, but hopefully a positive impact on the upcoming 1.2 release.
GIMP 1.1.28 is now available.
From Michael J. Hammel comes this news tidbit:
FYI - Gimp BOF at Atlanta Linux Symposium,
Thursday October 12th @ 8PM in the Galleria
room of the Cobb Galleria Convention Center.
I'll be hosting it, along with Ivan Reyes of
LinuxArtist.org. Federico Mena Quintero
(Gradient Editor author) will be there as
well to talk about "Bonobization of Gimp".
Users and developers are invited.
This is a bugfix release. Many people had difficulty with building the Perl parts of 1.1.26; this release shouldn't have that trouble.
GIMP 1.1.26 is now available. This is mainly a minor cleanup release.
Sven's got a writeup of GIMP 1.2's features on O'Reilly's website. It won't be news to readers of his full 1.1 guide, but it's a nice gentle intro. It also has a link to the new English version of Gimp kurz & gut.
GIMP 1.1.25 has just been released and is available from the usual place. You can check the ChangeLog for information about changes.
Chris Fofiu has a new tutorial online that describes how to make a translucent colored blob that looks similar to MacOS "Aqua" user interface elements. His results look excellent.
The German O'Reilly has published a new edition of Sven's reference, Gimp kurz und gut. There's also a short feature article about the past, present, and future of GIMP.
Roland Berger wrote in to let me know about an amazing new script. I can't really describe it; just check out his page or look at a locally mirrored demo image.
Paul Harrison has written a plugin that does a fascinating range of image twisting and turning. It's so interesting that I broke my voluntary holiday to announce it. Go check out the resynthesizer home page.
Well, I've been unofficially on holiday from GIMP news for a while now, but now I'm making it official. I probably won't update GIMP News again until I have some new server hardware, which will probably take about a month or so.
Jimmac (aka Jakub Steiner) has created two new tutorials explaining how to use GIMP to make animated images.
Carey Bunks, author of Grokking the GIMP, has been interviewed on lwn.net.
Sven Neumann, one of the hardest working GIMP developers around, has been interviewed on LinuxPower.
The gimpcon 2000 page has been updated with some info and links that came about as a result of the conference. There's also a gimpcon 2000 review written up now.
Over the weekend, I went out with my camera and took some slides of various textures around the farm. I placed them in the public domain, you can use them for whatever you like.
This is the third 1.2 pre-release. Go download it, check it out, and report any bugs you find.
There's going to be an insanely fun GIMP meeting at this year's SIGGRAPH. If you're going to SIGGRAPH, be sure to check it out.
Simon Budig asked me to share his plea with the readers of GIMP News:
I am desperately searching for people, who can help me at the Gimp booth at the biggest Linux fair in Europe, the LinuxTag in Stuttgart. I got some sponsors for our booth so I am
most likely able to provide flight and room for one person from US or maybe two persons from Europe.
The most urgent need is at the weekend (1st and 2nd July 2000). Our booth will have two or three
computers, lots of wacom tablets and maybe a projector. Probably a lot of people want to learn something
about Gimp :-)
Adrian, master of the GIMP image pipe, has created a gimp image pipe tutorial.
GIMP 1.1.22 is now available. Download this and test the heck out of it.
