Gimp 2.8 RC VS Gimp 2.8.0

2012-08-15 / / 0 Comments

Well So far, not much..!
Compatibility issue with office 2003 fixed.
Starts much faster as described below on my PC Specs here:

 

Specs as follow

———————————
Windows XP Professional Service Pack 3
Intel(R) Pentium(R) 4 CPU 3.20GHz
Memory: 992MB RAM
Chipset: SiS 661FX
———————————

Start times:

First start of the program, right after install, no brushes, etc added.
01 Min 02 Sec
Second start, right after the first (Without restart).
10 Sec

After Restart :

24 Sec
Edit image, right after the restart (Without restart).
10 sec

Note

I may have to note that I have a tweak that clears the ram form .dll files after closing the program, maybe it’s part of the thing, you can find it in this thread, works even on Windows 7 starter, and may work on others two.
P.S: I read somewhere on the web that brushes add 05 Sec to the startup pf the program.

 

Gimp 2.8 RC Slow problem fixed!! + Notes inside

2012-07-30 / / 0 Comments
Hey there
Good day to you all
This tutorial was made on Windows XP SP3 and Gimp 2.8 RC.

Use these steps to improve the performance of Gimp 2.8

  • First of all run the software from a shortcut you create, not the one that comes with it, because it has a line called %Userprofile% which makes the start of the software faster.
  • Uninstall all unnecessary brushes,as it adds to the load time.
  • If the gtk.net library is installed, uninstall it.
  • Gimp themes doesn’t make it much slower but it causes laggy interface, so remove it.

 

 

 

A tool to use

If you followed any of my previous tips, just uninstall everything using iobituninstaller, advanced uninstall and preform a power scan to get rid of everything related to Gimp, then reinstall after a restart, the only thing to do is use the single window mode to make it like Photoshop.

And of course if you were lucky and nothing happened with you, keep it as it is.

Please note that RC is a testing version, use the final version whenever possible!

Thank you for reading, please comment below.

Gimp 2.8 Problem solved!!

2012-07-07 / / 0 Comments
Hey there you guys?
How are you today?
hope you are doing great!

Tested OS: Windows XP SP3  MS Office 2003 Enterprise, Gimp 2.8 RC1
If you installed the amazing Gimp 2.8 and enjoyed working on it as much as I did, you would be interested in reading this, Gimp 2.8 crashes, loads for a split second and then vanishes, even if you view the process in task manager, you will see it for a split second and then it goes out..

What is causing this?

The Reason for this is Office 2003, apparently there is a font issue that is causing this bug, and it’s yet to be fixed (at the point of the post), so if you are a die-hard gimp fan you will be forced to make a choice between the two, (That is office and Gimp)
Tip: You can use Open Office, almost as good, absolutely free of charge.
As soon you uninstall the Office 2003 suit and reinstall gimp 2.8, it will work normally.
And That is it..
Please Comment and thank you for reading.
Have a wonderful day.

Make Gimp 2.8 Look Like Adobe PhotoShop CS3!

2012-05-24 / / 0 Comments

Hello There and Welcome to a new tech tip.
today we will make gimp look and feel like  PhotoShop CS3 via some very simple steps, please read ahead!

1. Download the zipped file Gimp Themes v1.0 and install it on your computer, it’s less than 2 mbs. *There is a version for Linux here.

2. open gimp, go to windows single window mode and click it, it will collect the previously scattered windows and make it more organized, but don’t edit their look just yet.

3. Copy all of the contents of the Bin folder From [C:Program FilesGIMP-2.0] to [C:Program FilesGIMP2] And the folder Engines from
[C:Program FilesGIMP-2.0libgtk-2.02.10.0engines] to [C:Program FilesGIMP 2libgtk-2.02.10.0engines]
And  the folder Themes contents from [C:Program FilesGIMP-2.0sharethemes] to [C:Program FilesGIMP 2sharethemes]

4.  Run the application Gimpthemes-v1.0.exe located in [C:Program FilesGIMP 2bin] to select any theme you like from the ones installed (use Aroura mid night for maximum effect) then click OK.
Run gimp 2.8 normally, After success all the tools will be gone, simply drag the vertical line at both screen ends to restore them, then arrange the tools as you like.

That is all, I hope you try it and like it, please comment.
Have a wonderful day.
