Summary: <p><img class="alignright size-full wp-image-518" title="Made by Seth/W_Nightshade" src="https://meetthegimp.org/wp-content/uploads/2009/07/meetthegimp.gif" alt="Made by Seth/W_Nightshade">Today I go into the details of the path tool. It has a real lot of different modes and states – so one gets easily confused. I try to sort that out – but you’ll have to train yourself to master this.</p> <p>Seth aka W_Nightshade has made a video about making ambigrams with paths. You see the one he did here on the side. I couldn’t make a show out of his video – but you’ll get a fast version of it with music in the video and if you are interested can download the whole package in the companion file. The music is from <a href="https://www.box.net/shared/pyfami8wks/rss.xml">John Pazdan</a>, the composer of the podcast music.</p> <p>I start with a book review. <a href="https://www.shallowsky.com/akkana.html">Akkana Peck</a>’s book “<a href="https://apress.com/book/view/1430210702">Beginning GIMP – from Novice to Professional”</a> is gone into a second edition. And now it’s even better than before. If you are looking for a book about GIMP – this would be my first choice. Apress has given me the second edition book – I bought the first one before starting with this project.</p> <p>And I have two of the books to give away. To you. We’ll make two challenges, one from Philippe, one from me. And Apress will send a book to each of the winners.</p> <h2>The TOC</h2> <blockquote><p>01:00 Switch to HD<br> 02:30 Ubuntu script for Wacom Tablets<br> 03:45 Book review: Akkana Peck:<br> 10:30 Path tool: Design mode<br> 11:00 Adding nodes and moving them<br> 12:30 Close a path<br> 12:50 Add a second component to the path<br> 13:45 Expanding a path<br> 14:30 Selecting nodes and moving them together<br> 15:00 Delete a node<br> 15:30 Move a component<br> 15:50 Tweak a segment<br> 16:15 Move a segment<br> 17:40 Interlude: Ambigrams by Seth (Video) and John Pazdan (Music: Solistice)<br> 21:45 Edit mode with paths<br> 22:15 Adding nodes<br> 22:30 Pulling out handles<br> 23:30 Removing handles and segemnts<br> 24:40 Joining components of the path<br> 25:10 Straightening out the curve at the node<br> 26:30 Read the documentation at docs.gimp.org<br> 27:50 What does Akkane Peck write about the path tool?<br> 29:40 iTunes help needed</p></blockquote> <p><a rel="license" href="https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/3.0/de/"><img style="border-width: 0pt;" src="https://i.creativecommons.org/l/by-sa/3.0/de/88x31.png" alt="Creative Commons License"></a><br> <span>Meet the GIMP Video Podcast</span> by <a rel="cc:attributionURL" href="../">Rolf Steinort and Philippe Demartin</a> is licensed under a <a rel="license" href="https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/3.0/de/">Creative Commons Attribution-Share Alike 3.0 Germany License</a>.<br> Permissions beyond the scope of this license may be available at <a rel="cc:morePermissions" href="../">https://meetthegimp.org</a>.</p>
