The GIMP: the GNU Image Manipulation Program
--------------------------------------------
1998-12-24 08:49:31 +08:00
This is an unstable release of the GIMP, intended for developers only.
For production use, please use the 1.0.x series.
The GIMP's home page is at
1997-11-25 06:05:25 +08:00
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
1997-11-25 06:05:25 +08:00
There you can get the latest versions of plug-ins using a convenient
forms-based interface.
We have several mailing lists dedicated to GIMP user and development
discussion. To subscribe, send mail to
majordomo@scam.xcf.berkeley.edu
and in the body of the message put
subscribe <list-name> your@email.address
substituting <list-name> for "gimp-user" or "gimp-developer" (without
the quotes, of course) depending on the list you want to subscribe
to. The mailing list archives can be found at
http://www.findmail.com/listsaver/gimp-developer/

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.
And finally, for the real junkies, there is an IRC channel devoted to
the GIMP :-) On Byxnet (a private mostly-GIMP network) there is #gimp.
Many of the developers hang out there. Some of the Byxnet servers are:

The look of GIMP's interface can be customized like any other GTK app
by editing the ~/.gtkrc file. Additionally GIMP reads ~/.gimp/gtkrc
so you can have settings that only apply to The GIMP.
1997-11-25 06:05:25 +08:00
Included is a set of keybindings similar to those in Adobe Photoshop (tm).
You can find them in the ps-menurc file. To use them, copy this file to
~/.gimp/menurc

We sincerely hope you enjoy the program. Please report problems to
bugs@gimp.org. Before reporting a problem, you may want to see if someone

else has already did (check http://bugs.gnome.org/db/pa/lgimp.html for
this).

Have fun,
