Hey guys,

I got GIMP for painters working on xp. The trick is that it doesn't modify your current GIMP install ( at least the gimp-painter--2.6.6_090321-2_win32_starter.exe doesn't ), it has GIMP 2.6.6 included. So what you do is unzip it into it's own directory and run it from the run_gimp.wsf. The GIMP 2.6.6 install that the script runs is located at Directory-you-unzipped-to/home/.gimp-2.6 so I'ld imagine that scripts and such would have to be installed in that version specifically.

Hopefully this is helpful information.

I got it running on Gimp 2.6.5 on Vista. It's great!

[mangadude5760]

To avoid confusion. I got Gimp Paint Shop going on Vista. I didn't try the Japanese Gimp Painter

Updated first post to provide links to English version of GIMP Paint Studio documentation.

[Songwind]

I installed and set up Gimp Paint Studio yesterday. I am really liking it so far.

Thanks to TheShock, and everyone else who worked on the translation and the forum tips.

Hi, folks.

My friend and I are maintaining a project called Gimp Studio. It's hosted on codaset.com at:

http://codaset.com/f...nny/gimp-studio

It currently incorporates Gimp 2.6.8, GPS 1.3, gimp-painter- with some of our own patches, and some plugins.

Giniu, the co-maintainer, wishes to hack gimp-painter- apart, make it more streamlined and maintainable, and friendlier to future development. Since the original developer was sort of unresponsive to his e-mails, we've decided to fork it.

I've seen in this thread that someone has translated the docs, but the topic seems to be MIA. Could someone please tell us where we can find the English docs?

For starters, we are most interested in how Flow works (I myself haven't been able to produce visible results using that parameter), so if anyone knows what it does and how it should be used, I would appreciate any information.

[PhotoComix]

the docs for GPS are all available from links on the main page,(not sure if this is updated http://www.graphics-...stsguide/?p=139 ) they did also a few videos

For gimpainter is a bit harder because the author page is in japanise
http://www24.atwiki....7/pages/19.html
so is a bit hard even understand which are doc to translate and which just link to something else.

But the good new is that he did also a few video showing and explaining how use gimpainter here the list http://www.youtube.com/user/Getchar
one in particular is about the mixbrush.

PS i see you include some script from FX
Not sure if you notice that all this scripts here http://users.telenet...effects_en.html quite useful in a "painter " version, require as dependency some extra Gimpimpressionist preset, that are included in original pack on this page, but went MIA in the fx foundry version (so they can't work or not as supposed )
So basically if you included that script , you should also include the gimpimpressionist presets

Hi all,
Recently i have updated the Wiki section about GPS.

http://code.google.com/p/gps-gimp-paint ... troduction

so now we have an improved gallery and more videos . enjoy them!

[alexiadeath]

ramon, I need to see you in irc one of these days. I have questions about something you have used in your presets but rightnow is not connected to any UI because I cant decide what it is and why its good.

I love GPS :) Sadly due to all of the bits changing in 2.7 for 2.8 have rendered it pretty much incompatible with 2.7... But I believe improvements are worth the changes.

Gimp painter however is a huge hackish patch. Ive dug through it. It has bits in it that would be worth while in mainstream but separating and porting them to git version is too much work sadly.

@PhotoComix

Thanks for the tips. I still haven't tried all scripts from FX Foundry (too many of them, yay!), so your input is much appreciated.

I've managed to contact Yamakawa on the issue of gimp-painter- docs. He didn't seem overly enthusiastic, and a bit busy with other things, but I think we can decipher what we need with his help. Sadly, my Japanese is not that good even though I'm half-Japanese, but I hope I will somehow manage it.

P.S.
Don't expect the full docs to be published in English by me. ;)

There are English translations somewhere in the middle of the post, if you meant the GPS announcements.

[Hyaatus]

I downloaded GPS and I'm able to get the palettes and gradients working. The brushes don't have problems either.

However, I can't seem to make the tool-presets work and that defeats the main purpose of GPS. I copied the tool-presets option to the GIMP root directory but it just doesn't show up in GIMP. I couldn't find the folder to where presets are saved. Help is appreciated. :)

Thanks in advance guys

[alexiadeath]

.gimp-2.6/tool-options/
Be warned, they overwrite any presets you already have.

[Hyaatus]

Thanks for the help alexiadeath, but I still couldn't find the folder.

My GIMP root directory is GIMP 2.0. But GIMP says I run version 2.6.8. Perhaps a reinstall is in order.

[foxbunny]

Hyaatus, root dir (the one in /usr/lib or /usr/share on Linux, and C:\Program Files\ on Windows) for Gimp files is always gimp/2.0, but you can't install tool presets there. They must be in your user settings folder.

If you're on Linux, you tool presets dir is:

/home//.gimp-2.6/tool-presets

On Windows, it's:

C:\Documents and Settings\\.Gimg-2.6\tool-presets

You can get presets working alongside your own by merging your preset files with the GPS preset files of the same name. We've done that to merge Chaos and Evolutions brushkit presets with those of GPS in Painters Studio.

You can get the merged assets + presets (and a few extras) from our google code repository. The installation procedure is same as GPS.

Thank you foxbunny, I've finally got it to work! :D

[foxbunny]

Glad it worked. Good luck then! :)
