Additional Topics CHAPTER 12 By now, you re familiar with most of the basic techniques of image manipulation available in the GIMP. In this chapter, I ll show you a few details that haven t been covered already, discuss ways of customizing the GIMP, and describe some of the web resources that can help you learn even more. The chapter will cover the following: Printing with Gimp-Print/Gutenprint Screen shots and scanners: the Acquire menu GIMP configuration files Additional resources Printing with Gimp-Print or Gutenprint Printing in GIMP isn t built-in; it s handled by a plug-in. That means that printing may be different on different platforms. GIMP for Windows prints using the standard Windows print dialogs. Any adjustment to the output will probably go through the dialogs supplied by your printer manufacturer. These may be different for each printer, so this book won t try to cover them. On most Linux and Mac systems, the print plug-in for GIMP is included in the normal GIMP installation. It comes from a separate project, though, historically called Gimp-Print. (The Gimp-Print project is also the origin of many color printer drivers used by Linux and Mac OS X.) Despite the name, the Gimp-Print project is separate from GIMP and is run by different people. The project was recently renamed Gutenprint, and has a brand-new printing plug-in available. As of this book s press deadline, GIMP still includes the old Gimp-Print plug-in, but it may switch to the new Gutenprint version in the future. Initiate printing using the menu item File . Print. If your image has multiple layers or other GIMP-specific enhancements, GIMP will tell you it needs to export the image. Don t worry; this won t change your original image.
