Make your photo an obamicon using gimp 2.8 in 3 steps

Hey there you guys 😀

Good day to you.

Without any websites or third party freeware you can turn your photo into an obamicon hope using a script on Gimp 2.8

Easiest way available to date. And if you have anything easier then please! I’m just that lazy!!

The steps

  • First: paste it in the scripts directory of your gimp install, mine is:
    “C:Program FilesGIMP 2sharegimp2.0scripts”

 

  • Second: open gimp 2.8 and navigate to the menu Filter Artistic obama hope click and press OK in the window that pops up.

And that was it! pretty simple I cannot believe it myself, and it’s only 2 kb in size!!

Download the script from here. comment if you like and download. ^_^

Support from author can be found here..

P.S: there is a Guevara script (Same in install) but totally different. download here.

PerigeeCopy 1.6, a great copy handler

In this segment we are going to look at a decent software that never got recognized..

This software does a very simple task. Copy or move files from one place to another without stopping for file replaces. It queues those at the end of the transfer. This is a huge issue in XP SP3.

I use it very often and totally recommend it. Until I replaced it with Teracopy.

Download link for XP/Windows 7

Hope that you like it, and it solves some of your daily problems.

Please comment and feel free to say what you like..

Deep freeze 7.0 not showing in notification area, Help!!

Hello There and Welcome to a new tech tip, this time we will be addressing Deep Freeze 7.0 and how to fix the icon not showing in the Notification Area, and the solution is not related to the Notification Area at all.


OS Windows 7 Ultimate 32 Bit, Faronics Deep Freeze 7.0

First of all take a deep breath and don’t panic, it’s really easy!!

 

  • Navigate to C:Program filesFaronicsDeep Freeze Standard (not sure of the last folder name..
  • Check for the folder -$DF, if it’s there, we are almost done, if not copy it from another machine.
  • Double click the frzstate2k.exe, the icon should jump to your Notification Area.

 

Important notes

This problem happened to me when my Anti-virus interrupted my installation of the software, so the folder was not copied, and I had no control over Deep freeze.

I must add that it does not fix the frozen partition problem, as far as I know of course.

It worked with me, I hope it works for you, please try it and tell me.

Have a wonderful day.

Make Gimp 2.8 Look Like Adobe PhotoShop CS3!

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.
